Landon and Xavier transferred Jasper to another hospital under Jasper’s persistent

requests.

Jasper lay on a pristine white bedsheet in his room, hooked to an IV drip. The ordeal had

taken its toll on

him, but he still appeared remarkably handsome, much to Landon’s envy.

“You scoundrel. I bet you’ll be a casanova even in the afterlife. Tsk tsk, you sinner,” teased

Landon with an

amused expression. He sat facing the back of his chair with his legs spread and his arms

folded on the

backrest.

“You’re mean.” Jasper slowly opened his eyes with rage. He couldn’t breathe properly from

the pain. “I

was puking blood, and here you are, talking about my looks. I’ve always been better-

looking than you.

Does that annoy you?”

“Ah, come on now. I was just trying to lighten the mood in case you were getting bored,”

Landon

responded.

Landon was concerned for Jasper’s health but hesitant to delve too deeply into that

conversation, fearing

it might come across as cheesy.

“Don’t worry, you’re not going to die. I’ve arranged for the best experts to treat you. I

even shelled out 100

thousand dollars for a one-time use of a lung machine.

“And if that doesn’t work, I’ll reach out to international experts. I can do anything with the

money I have-

even negotiate with the Grim Reaper!”

Jasper furrowed his brows, annoyed by Landon’s endless chatter.

Landon slapped his chest confidently and declared, “Even if you were paralyzed from head

to toe, I will bring you everywhere by my side and make you my lucky charm!

“You might have lost a wife, but you still have a friend in me! I will never abandon my

bro!”

Jasper went over Landon’s words and couldn’t help but wonder if his friend was subtly

cursing and

mocking him.

“We can still be friends if you keep your mouth shut,” replied Jasper.

Landon smiled sheepishly with a heavy feeling within. Still, he gathered himself and

encouraged Jasper, Hang in there! If something happens to you, not only will your family

lose their bloodline, but your grandpa

will not have anyone by his side!

‘Your family is a group of devils. They would totally usurp your success and exploit your

grandpa without

Jasper felt his chest tighten. He had flashbacks of the moment he coughed up blood.

He had been gripped by despair then, and his life flashed across his mind. Two faces

appeared in his

mind. One was Newton’s, and the other was Alyssa’s.

Jasper inhaled deeply to calm his nerves. He casually remarked, “If something bad

happens to me, my

brother will be the one who takes over the presidency.

“To be fair, I took what was supposed to be his. I wouldn’t have become the heir of Beckett

Group if it

weren’t for his health issues.”

“Nonsense! Primogeniture has no place in the modern world! Your grandpa would have

chosen you for

your talent and capability, even if Justin were in good health,” objected Landon, who had

been watching

too many family dramas with his mom.

Jasper smiled softly, feeling fortunate to have an optimistic friend in his otherwise dreary

and boring life.

“Why did you request for a hospital transfer, though? You got hurt because of Lyse!”

questioned Landon.

Still seated, he rowed himself to Jasper’s bedside with his legs.

“Wasn’t that a great chance to talk to her? I might even put on a little show at her

doorstep if I were you.

Perhaps I’d pretend to vomit blood all over, just to show how much I’ve sacrificed for her!

You should

evoke her maternal instincts by parading your misery!”
