Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2288

Alyssa wasn't yet fully recovered. She was still limping when she walked. Despite that, she wouldn't allow herself to lie in bed like a useless person.

Even though she was still in crutches and her left leg was still in a cast after resting for a week, she insisted on getting discharged from the hospital.

She didn't inform Winston and his wives on the day of her discharge. Still, seeing Jonah, Silas, Rose, and Sean show up to take her home warmed her heart.

"Lyse, are you and Jasper really..." Rose clung onto Alyssa's arm, which had grown noticeably thinner. She welled up with tears.

"Yeah. It's over," Alyssa said with a soft smile, sounding almost relieved. "We were once deeply in love, and that was enough. I have no regrets.

The urgency in Rose's voice made her eyes redden. "How can you say that? After being with him for so long, he never proposed or gave you the grand wedding you deserved. He owes you so much! How can it end like this?"

"Rose, even if Jasper did owe me something, he's risked his life for me many times over the last two years. He's repaid his debts."

Alyssa forced herself to suppress her emotions, managing only a slight, bitter smile. "This time, I'm the one who owes him. Letting him move on without burdens or pressure is my way of paying him back."

Rose wasn't satisfied. She looked pleadingly at Silas.

Silas pressed his lips together. With a troubled expression on his face, he simply shook his head.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Jonah walked over and opened it to find Axel standing there, looking worn out. Tears filled Jonah's eyes as he perked up. "Welcome back, Axel."

"Sorry it took me so long, Jonah. Panting slightly, Axel asked anxiously, "How's Lyse? Is she getting better?"

"I'm glad that you made it. Lyse still has her leg in a cast, but otherwise, she's recovering well. You don't need to worry...

Jonah trailed off as he noticed a beautiful, unfamiliar woman standing quietly behind Axel. Though she looked shy, there was something strikingly familiar about her.

"Axel, this is..."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

With a smile, Axel turned, gently took the woman's hand, and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his arm around her waist, his gaze filled with tenderness. He said, "Jonah, this is Amber."

Jonah looked at the woman in disbelief, his eyes scanning her face again and again. "Amber... You're Ms. Altman?

Amber began to feel embarrassed, and her cheeks flushed red. She nodded slightly.

"Amber!" Alyssa, supported by Silas and Rose, hopped toward them with excitement sparkling in her eyes.

"Ms. Alyssa." Seeing as Alyssa had limited mobility, Amber went up to her immediately.

They held onto each other's hands tightly.

"Is this your real face?" Alyssa's eyes reddened. She was on the brink of bursting into happy tears.

Amber's lips parted slightly, but she was choking back on her tears and couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"How pretty... You're beautiful!" Alyssa exclaimed, her hands shaking as she touched Amber's cheeks. 'I'm so happy you're able to be yourself again, truly."
