Chapter 536

Jasper and Alyssa were alone in the room after Landon left. Alyssa had learned from Xavier

that Jasper had coughed up a significant amount of blood earlier that day, and this news

deeply troubled her.

If Jasper couldn’t survive this ordeal, or if he suffered from long-term side effects, she’d

never be able to

make up to him. The burden of guilt would haunt her every day.

She went up to his bed with a sour face and grabbed his wrist. Then, she started checking

his pulse.

His eyes widened. Alyssa looked as serious as an experienced doctor. She announced,

“Your condition is

not looking great. You need to take your medications right away. You cannot wait until the

next day!”

She was angered by his condition. Just as Alyssa was about to release his hand, he

surprised her by

wrapping her small, cold hand with his own.

His action took her aback. Her breathing was caught in her throat.

“I can tell it’s super cold out there from your hand.”

Jasper’s rough fingertips lightly massaged the back of her hand. He felt sorry at the sight

of her scars and

croaked, “Sorry for making you come all the way at this hour.”

“If you feel sorry, you should take your medications on time! Why kick a fuss?” She tried

to calm herself

down and withdrew her hand from his grip. “Are you a baby or what? Do you need me to

feed you your

medications?”

“No, that’s not it,” explained Jasper. He swallowed in frustration and whispered, “I couldn’t

think of any

other way to see you, Alyssa. I just wanted to meet with you.”

“Now that I’m here, can you please take your medications?” Alyssa questioned.

Jasper lowered himself despite his usual aggressive and authoritative behavior, but that

did not sway her.

She recalled Liam and Sean’s warning and felt a growing aversion and impatience toward

Jasper.

She glanced at her wristwatch and urged him, “Hurry up and take your medications. I

need to go home to

Belbanks. We don’t often have Liam back for dinner. I don’t have time to waste on you!”

Her harsh words stung him, and he clenched his fists. She had once been his caring wife,

but now her

patience for him had worn thin.

He had no one to blame but himself for her change. He regretted his past behavior to no

end.

The road to win back Alyssa’s affection was long and tenuous, but he wanted to give it a

go until he could

“Alyssa, I am in the hospital because of you,” Jasper argued.

Since Alyssa did not soften at his pitiful look, he shamelessly resorted to guilt-tripping for

more time together. “I almost lost my life because of you. You can’t just leave me here and

never ask about me.”

“What do you expect me to do, then?” She gave him a scalding glare.

“Take care of me until I’m discharged,” he proposed, his eyes fixed on her radiant face.

Alyssa burst into laughter at the audacity of his request. She retorted, “I’ve never met

anyone as

shameless as you.”

Indeed. Jasper was aghast at his behavior, but he was merely imitating Landon.

He might not have pursued women before this, but he had watched Landon going after

ladies. Any female

would succumb to a man’s passionate pursuit.

He was clueless about the passionate part of the equation, but the least he could do was

to execute the

pursuit.

“Listen carefully, Jasper. I’m not your wife or your house servant. I have no reason to look

after you,” she

began coldly. “You didn’t appreciate my previous attempts to care for you, and you even

found it

annoying. But you’re begging for me to stay now. Is there something wrong with your

head?”

“That’s because I love you, Alyssa Taylor!” Uncertain of the best way to win her heart, he

could only

confess his feelings with a passionate and sincere gaze. “I don’t care what you think of

me. You can hate

me or be disgusted by me. It doesn’t matter.”
