Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 2048

Nicholas stood frozen in place. His mind was buzzing.

It wasn't until the nurse called out to him that he took slow, heavy steps toward the ward.

Natalie appeared frail and gaunt as she leaned against the bed. Her eyes widened with panic, mirroring a startled deer, as she tightly held Alyssa's hand.

Standing by the window, Alyssa gently stroked Natalie's back. She whispered soothing words to help calm her emotions.

Nicholas watched dumbfoundedly at the door.

Phoebe, who had been tending to Natalie for almost a decade, sometimes struggled to manage Natalie due to the torment of her illness. Alyssa had just met her, so how could they already get along so well? And under Alyssa's comfort, Natalie's emotions stabilized entirely without the use of tranquillizers. It was simply unbelievable.

"Nat!" Nicholas walked over with a pale face. He pulled Natalie into his arms and held her tightly.

"Mrs. Novak, you kept asking me where your husband was just now, right? He's here now." Alyssa's voice was extremely soothing.

Natalie stared blankly at Nicholas' face for a moment before parting her lips sluggishly. "Nic... you're here. Have you eaten?"

Nicholas' eyes brimmed with profound love as he gazed deeply at Natalie. He then glanced in amazement at Alyssa, who was smiling. "My wife, she..."

"The caregiver said your wife hasn't recognized you for a long time."

Alyssa clasped her hands behind her back as she gazed gently at Natalie. "But you see, despite the illness taking its toll, as long as there's love between you two, she'll never forget you." These simple words deeply moved Nicholas. His voice turned hoarse with emotion. "Thank you for saving my wife, Ms. Alyssa."

"It was nothing."

Alyssa smiled faintly, but her gaze grew deeper. "Chief Novak, could I have a word with you privately?"

The touch of gratitude Nicholas felt moments ago was instantly buried beneath a cold layer of ice.

As the two walked out of the room, Sean, looking concerned, immediately approached.

"Ms. Alyssa..."

"I need to talk to Chief Novak alone. Sean, you stay by the door and watch over Mrs. Novak. If anything happens, tell us at once," Alyssa instructed seriously. Nicholas was taken aback by the use of "us", which inadvertently closed the gap between them.

On the sun-drenched rooftop, the early winter wind felt particularly biting.

Facing the wind, Alyssa stood tall and graceful, allowing her long hair to sway in the breeze. She squinted her eyes and tilted her face upward to feel the sun's warmth on her cheeks. Despite the cold weather, she didn't feel cold at all because her heart was heated with passion.

"Ms. Alyssa, if you have something to say, please do so quickly. I need to go back to take care of my wife," Nicholas coldly said while staring at her figure with a dark expression. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I believe someone with your track record of achievements, coming from a background in drug enforcement, must be a person of integrity and a seeker of truth."

Alyssa opened her eyes and turned around to face him slowly. "You must hate drugs more than anyone else, right?"
