Alyssa hurriedly held tight onto Sean, who went numb and limp. Had she not done so, Sean would have

"Ms. Alyssa... I'm okay..." Panting, Sean assured her despite losing all his strength.

"How are you okay when you can't even stand up straight?" Alyssa's eyes were furious and filled with worry for Sean.

She shot a death glare at Jasper, who stood there looking unaffected. Then, she accused him, "How dare you lay a finger on my staff before me? Are you still human? You're just a heartless animal underneath

that human skin!"

Jasper winced from the pain. His eyes burned with anger, as if his efforts had all been in vain.

He tried to explain, "Didn't you see it? He was the one who attacked me first! And I didn't even hurt him!

He'll be back to normal at night when his pressure point is relieved!"

"Don't bother explaining yourself. The more you do, the worse you make yourself look."

The tears in Alyssa's eyes pained Jasper. He watched helplessly as she carelessly wiped her lips, her way of steering clear from him. She confronted him, "Admit it! You are regretting the divorce!" Jasper felt his heart tremble and crumble. When they locked eyes, she examined him with a sharp look,

dissecting his thoughts and feelings.

He stayed silent for a long while. He couldn't even bring himself to say no. He clung to his pride by saying

nothing.

"I'll take that as a silent admission."

Her voice quivered as she forced a bright smile and continued, "You know what? Even if you regret the divorce, keep it to yourself. It's a huge insult to me that you're catching feelings for me." He remembered the harsh words he had spoken to her when he served her with divorce papers. They

Jasper stumbled listlessly toward the parking lot. He didn't know how he made it there, with an awful headache and heavy limbs. He was like a dying man who sustained multiple injuries.

He finally gave way the moment he saw Xavier.

Xavier ran up and supported him, noting his pale face. Concerned, he inquired, "Mr. Beckett, is that

headache bothering you again? Hop in the car. I'll get your medication."

A headache would go away by taking pills. But what would it take to heal a broken heart?

"Xavier, I don't get it..." Jasper held his head, gasping for breath.

"I didn't care much for her when we got married. She stood by me, even when I treated her poorly. Why is

she so cold to me now that I'm finally treating her right?" asked Jasper.

Xavier furrowed his brows in shock. He was distressed at the sight of Jasper in agony.

After a long silence, Xavier let out a long sigh and replied, "It's because she used to love you deeply."

But Alyssa did not love him anymore.
