Chapter 2282
Watching Jasper being unperturbed, Newton slumped back against the couch. A disappointed look filled his eyes. How could everything get back to square one just like this? Even if he couldn't accept this outcome, how could Alyssa take it?
In a deep voice, Javier prompted, "Jasper, you have your regular meeting in the morning. It's about time for you to leave, isn't it?'
Jasper tumed around without showing any emotions on his face and strode out the door.
Alyssa was still in a stage of recovery. She had been feeling groggy and had slept the entire morning away. She didn't even have breakfast or lunch. It was in the late afternoon that she gradually stirred.
When she saw Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus watching over her by her side, her heart was warmed despite being badly wounded by Jasper.
"Lyse, do you feel better now?" Jonah asked in a husky voice. He gave her bony hands a gentle squeeze.
Looking at Jonah's face, Alyssa suddenly felt like he had weathered through so much overnight. She couldn't help but feel for him.
"Jonah, how about you? Are you alright?" she asked in a soft voice.
"I'm okay." Jonah forced a smile.
He was not okay at all. He was doing terribly.
"Jonah, leave this place to us, brothers. Hurry up and get yourself a plane ticket to Mosgravia to win Jules back!" Silas pressed his hand firmly on Jonah's shoulder. "You're both so in love with one another. After going through so much together, I don't believe that it's the end for both of you the moment someone instigates something!"
Jonah closed his heavy eyelids and shook his head. He knew that the mistake he made this time was unforgivable.
Julien was a prideful man who loved himself very much. He didn't hesitate to hurt himself so that he could break up with Jonah. He was indeed determined to break their relationship off. Would he still be able to win him back?
Alyssa could see what was on Jonah's mind. In a gentle voice, she comforted, "It's probably a good thing to give Jul some space for a while. Sometimes, pushing someone to a corner will just be counterproductive."
Noticing that the atmosphere in the room had become awkward, Cyrus changed the topic.
"Lyse, I've taken that cigarette butt back to the station and gotten my colleagues at the Forensics Department to perform a DNA comparison for me. They'll be able to give us the results in a couple of days."
The hospital could only perform DNA tests using blood samples. They weren't able to perform tests using physical objects.
It was fortunate that the Taylors were talented people.
"That's great! Once the results are out, we will know if Remy is Damien!" A fire of hope lit up within Alyssa's heart. This was the only news that made her happy during these recent times.
Jonah and Silas had never seen Remy, so they couldn't relate to the shock that came with seeing his face. Even so, emotions surged within Cyrus.
"If... If Damien is really still alive, our entire family can truly be reunited!"
With tears in her eyes, Alyssa nodded.
"If that man whom the few of you were talking about is indeed Damien, how did he survive? Why did he end up
becoming acquainted with Jameson? Also, why didn't he remember anything when he saw Lyse?" Silas questioned anxiously.
"As we know, Damien had a genuine and kind heart. Even if he had lost his memory because of the accident, why would he have become an entirely different person? Why is he completely unlike what he used to be?"
Silas' questions left Alyssa in deep thought. If Remy was indeed Damien, why would he have become a changed person even if he lost his memory? Unless...
Suddenly, a knock came at the door.
Silas hurried over. The moment he opened the door, he couldn't stop his face from falling.
"Mr. Justin?"
"Hello, Mr. Silas."
Justin was sitting in a wheelchair with a thermal lunchbox on his lap. He tilted his head up slightly and looked at Silas with a smile on his face. "Is Ms. Alyssa awake yet?"
An alarmed look flashed across Silas' eyes. "Why do you ask?"
Justin's smile was slight but not unnatural. "I brought some soup and dishes that we cooked at home. I thought of sharing some with Ms. Alyssa. They're plain, but they're very nutritious for her body."
"It's alright. My sister is-'
"Is it Justin?"Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
To their surprise, Alyssa said tenderly, "Please invite him in."
