Chapter 534

‘M-Mr. Beckett? Xavier exclaimed in panic and hit the emergency button.

Xavier grabbed some napkins and wiped the blood off Jasper’s lips as he pleaded, “You

can’t keep going like this! Please put an end to your confrontation with Madam and take

the medications she sent you.”

“I won’t,” Jasper replied adamantly despite the throbbing chest pains.

His eyes carried a deep sadness as he declared, “This is the only way to get Alyssa back to

my side. It’s

my only chance to spend time with her. I’ll put my life on the line just to see her once.”

“What did you say? That bastard refused to take his medications? But why?” Alyssa

growled when Sean interrupted her family dinner to update her. She immediately lost her

appetite from all the frustration.

“He said he’d only take his medications if you meet with him,” Sean fumed. “Give him an

inch, and he

takes a mile!

“Not only is he ungrateful for your help, but he’s also resorting to threats. Who does he

think he is? Ms.

Alyssa, you have done all you could to help. If I were you, I’d let him be. You should move

on.”

“Get the car ready. I’m going to Solana City,” Alyssa ordered furiously and vanished in no

time to change

into a new outfit

“M-Ms. Alyssa!” Sean called out to Alyssa, who had left in a hurry. Bitterness coursed

through his heart.

Jasper did not tell anyone in the Beckett family about his injuries and subsequent

hospitalization. He had

reached a point in his career where he needed to maintain the confidentiality of his health

status.

Many, both within and beyond the Beckett Group, had their eyes on his presidency. If

anything were to

happen to him, it would give them an excuse to remove him from his position.

For years, he had been walking on thin ice. He dealt with internal and external threats

over the years, all

because he was not Javier’s favored son.

As usual, Landon was his only visitor that night. Jasper did not confide in Landon that he

coughed up

blood so as to not worry Landon. He was determined not to let Landon waste time

searching for medical

help on his behalf.

“Aw, you poor thing.” Landon gleefully remarked as he slouched on the couch.

Seeing Jasper’s pale face, he jested, ‘Look how miserable you are. Mr. Beckett was on top

of the world

just a few months ago.”

Jasper lifted his gaze and wondered aloud, ‘What are you trying to say?”

“You had a gentle wife at home and a passionate lover out there. Life was good back

then.”

“Ahem, Landon Harper, Jasper warned. His face was rather dull. Landon’s provocation

almost triggered

another bout of coughing up blood.

“I still remember your complaints. You grumbled about going home to your overly zealous

wife, which

made you uncomfortable. I was so freaking jealous of you at that time! Having a doting

wife is way better

than countless servants, don’t you know?” Landon lamented with a hint of disgruntlement.

He felt indignant for Alyssa and sorry for Jasper, who lost a good woman.

“At that time, I wasn’t truly bothered by her,” confessed Jasper. His heart ached at the

thought of Alyssa’s

kindness to him during their marriage.

“I’m not heartless. I could see how much she cared for me and loved me during those

three years. I gave

her the cold shoulder to show her the harsh reality and push her toward getting a divorce.

“At the time, I wasn’t in a position to secure her future. Staying with her would have only

been a waste of

her time.”

“What about now? You are practically clinging to her. Do you like recycling your women?”

Landon

quipped He cocked his head and placed a cigarette between his lips.
