Chapter 622

Meanwhile, Jasper was recuperating at a private villa in a nearby suburb.

On that particular day, he had taken the medication, marking the conclusion of his first

round of treatment. He was aware that Alyssa’s employees would deliver the medication

for the second round

later on.

He believed Alyssa was only repaying him for his help, not doing it out of genuine affection

for him.

Throughout the day, he had experienced mild chest pains. To his surprise, a high fever

struck him during

the night.

“Xavier? Xavier?” he croaked, his throat parched and sore, as he struggled to keep his

eyes open.

After a while, he remembered that he had sent Xavier on an errand to pick up some

important documents

from Beckett Group. Xavier was probably on the way right now.

He managed to rise from the bed, only to discover that his sheets were soaked in sweat.

his forehead, and his entire body was drenched, as if he had fallen into a pool.

Changing into fresh pajamas, he went downstairs to get some water. The doorbell rang

just then.

Puzzled, he approached the intercom and turned on the video feed. When Alyssa’s radiant

face appeared

on the screen, his eyes brightened with excitement as his heart raced.

“Jasper Beckett, I know you’re in there. Open the door,” she demanded, her gaze

unwavering as she

stared into the camera.

He remained silent, his lips pressed together.

Her anger flaring, she threatened, “Are you faking your death, or are you truly dead? Open

the door now! If you want to draft a will, go ahead. If you don’t have one, I’ll come in and

take care of your affairs.”

Jasper coughed, taken aback by her words.

Growing concerned, Alyssa began banging on the door, saying, “I see through your little

game. If you

refuse to open the door, I’ll just stay here until-

open, her off mid-sentence. Jasper, dressed in navy pajamas and looking pale,

stood before her, smiling weakly but still managing to look good.

He welcomed her, “Ms. Alyssa, it’s cold outside. Please come in.”

It would hurt his heart to make her stand in the cold.

Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat as she saw Jasper, who had visibly lost weight and appeared

sickly.

Hadn’t he been taking his medication on time? He had seemed fine not too long ago, so

how had his

condition deteriorated so quickly?

She bit her lower lip and went in. He tried to pull himself together as he led her to the

living room.

He inquired, “What brings you here? Did Xavier tell you my address?”

“Don’t blame him. He did it for your own good,” Alyssa replied. She took a seat on the

couch and fixed at

In a chilly tone, she continued, “You don’t have trustworthy people around you. It would be

“Besides, there’s no point working for a loser like you. If you fire him, I’ll hire Xavier to

work at KS Group.

You’d better not cry over losing him.”

“You’re overthinking it, Ms. Alyssa,” Jasper said, locking eyes with her.

Despite his attempt to contain his joy, a smile crept onto his face. He added, “I would to

Jameson. She had seemed averse to him.

Because of that, he dared not vocalize his thoughts.-

“Wow, you keep calling me Ms. Alyssa. Why did you stop calling me ‘Lyse’?” she wondered

with an

amused squint.

“I know you hated it when I called you ‘Lyse”,” he replied.

Her eyes widened. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a pang of sadness and pain.
