Chapter 511

Rain, rock, mud, and fog-those were the only things Alyssa could recall before losing

consciousness.

She had used the last ounce of strength in her lithe body to push the hiker up toward the

patrol team. All

she hoped was that the hiker would be safe and sound.

Alyssa couldn’t call herself a competent park ranger and wear her badges if she hadn’t

prepared herself

for the risk of death. She wasn’t afraid of it as long as it was a meaningful death.

Frankly, she didn’t used to be so brave. In fact, she used to whine and cry whenever her

father and

stepmothers tried to bring her to the doctor for a shot.

She was 11 when she met him. That was when everything changed.

His bravado and determination were like the lighthouse she needed to guide her out from

dark waters.

How he had intercepted danger to rescue her had permanently shifted her outlook on life.

It was the first time she had witnessed how selfless one could be for another.

Even if he had hurt her countless times after they married, Alyssa still couldn’t deny it.

She couldn’t deny just how much Jasper had changed her life for the better.

It was as if he had rewritten the very stars.

Everything seemed to happen in a flash.

Alyssa had a strange dream. In it, her parents and brothers celebrated her childhood

birthday with her.

Jonah lifted her into his arms and placed her onto a mountain of presents while Silas sang

her “Happy

Birthday” off-key.

Liam raised her birthday cake to her lips, where she blew the candles out while Axel

placed a toy gun in

her hand.

Jasper also appeared in her dreams, with vivid recollections of the battles they fought

together on the battlefield, the first time she saw him while tending to Newton, and the

cold-hearted manner in which he handed her divorce papers, ultimately driving her away.

A sudden pain spread out from the center of her chest, flooding her head and limbs.

Alyssa jolted awake, taking loud, hurried breaths as her body came back online. The sweat

“I’m still alive… I’m alive!” she cried, tears of relief falling down her cheeks.

If it wasn’t for that bastard and the hurt he had caused her, she might not have woken up

from her death-

like sleep!

Just then, she recalled that she was still in danger.

She had been washed away to some unknown location, her backpack hanging limply on a

nearby branch.

while she remained half-buried in rubble and rock off a ledge. She was nearly buried alive

at this point.

“Shit!” Alyssa forced herself to calm down.

She muttered to herself, “I cannot die. I mustn’t! What would happen to Winston if I did?

To Jonah and

Silas and Liam and … If I’m still alive, that means it’s not my time yet! I decide when I

want to go!”

Just then, the branch above her let loose a loud snap.

Alyssa dared not say another word. She quickly pulled herself out from the rock and

climbed onto safer

ground. Just as she did, the branch above her snapped in half.

The longer end fell right into the bottomless pit of the mountainside beneath her feet.

Alyssa’s heart nearly leaped from her throat at the sight, but she couldn’t be bothered to

feel scared. She

needed to find a way to make it to higher ground so she could call for help!

The wind and rain picked up, water clouding her vision while chills racked her limbs.

The only thing keeping her climbing right now was her determined will to survive.
