Chapter 522

Xavier, Sean, and Landon were shocked by Jasper's sudden fainting spell. Fortunately, they happened to be just outside the hospital's entrance.

Without hesitation, Landon and Xavier rushed to assist the doctors and nurses in sending Jasper into the

emergency room.

Meanwhile, Sean found himself rooted to the spot at the far end of the corridor. He watched with concern as they wheeled the pale Jasper with blood-stained lips into the emergency room.

Why did Jasper suddenly faint? Was it a ploy to gain sympathy?

None of it added up. Jasper had seemed perfectly fine throughout their journey to the hospital until this

sudden collapse.

"Mr. Landon, is Mr. Beckett going to be..." Xavier clenched his fists, tears welling up in his eyes. "He'll be alright," Landon reassured him. He glanced fearfully at the emergency room sign and mumbled, Jasper will pull through. He's the toughest, coolest, and bravest guy I've ever known. He'll be just fine." At that moment, one of Jonah's bodyguards went up to Sean and informed him, "Mr. Lynch, I've been sent to bring you up."

"Alright," Sean replied uneasily. Before he left, he leaned in and whispered to the bodyguard, "Mr. Beckett from the Beckett Group is in the emergency room right now. Please arrange for two top-tier physicians to

attend to him."

Alyssa finally opened her eyes groggily on the evening of the second day. She felt more refreshed after the long sleep.

"Mmph... Where ... am I ..." She could not move her body and felt that her bones were in disarray. "Lyse, you're up! It's Liam here!" Liam yelped in excitement and hugged her. He had not slept at all. Instead, he held her hand tightly and cried through the night, as evident from his swollen eyes. "Liam? Is that really you? You're back... Liam!" She widened her teary eyes. Her nose turned red from the

emotions.

He gave her a firm nod and a peck on the forehead. Her fever had gone down.

The previous day, the doctor had warned that if Alyssa had delayed treatment any longer, she could have

"Is it okay for you to leave your military duties behind? Do you even have any leave days?" Alyssa was

more concerned about Liam than herself.

"It's not okay to do that, but you're my utmost priority," he answered.

"Liam..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her cheek against his.

Liam hadn't seen her for a while. A bitter taste filled his mouth when he noticed her weight loss and the dullness in her eyes.

"By the way, how did I get here?" Alyssa wondered. She sat up with Liam's help and leaned weakly against

the headboard.

Liam remained silent.

"Where's Jasper?" She spoke in a hoarse voice, her eyelashes fluttering.

"He came here in our helicopter. That fellow is doing just fine. Don't worry about him," Liam coldly brushed off the topic.

Somehow, Alyssa had an ominous feeling. She pressed on, "Where is he now?"

The door to her room swung open. Jonah and Sean entered one after another. Their faces lit up with joy upon seeing Alyssa awake.

"Ms. Alyssa!" Sean exclaimed with joyful tears in his eyes. He had wanted to rush up to Alyssa. But he restrained himself in Liam's presence, choosing instead to kneel beside Alyssa's bed.

"You must have been so shocked last night, Sean..." muttered Alyssa. She looked sickly, but there was a cheeky glimmer in her eyes. "I'm sorry for acting rashly, but I didn't have a choice. I had to save a life." Sean gazed deeply into her eyes and shook his head as he choked on emotions. Based on what he had heard, Alyssa had come dangerously close to falling off a cliff. It was Jasper who had risked his life to

rescue her at that critical moment.

"Ms. Alyssa, there's something I need to tell you," Sean blurted out after a moment of hesitation. "Jasper Beckett suffered severe internal injuries. He coughed up blood earlier today."

"What?" She sat up abruptly, her eyes widening in shock. Her breathing grew heavier. "H-How did that happen?

Jonah and Liam seemed equally taken aback by the sudden news.

His attending physician said that he sustained a major blow to his back, which impacted his internal

wasn't a petty, jealous liar.

A flicker of realization crossed her mind. She recalled that he had slammed his back into a huge rock when he grabbed her from the cliff's edge and rolled away from the rockslide.

But he assured her he was fine back then! What a liar!

Worried and frustrated, she flipped around and wanted to get out of bed. The three men around her were concerned about her health and went up to stop her.

"Lyse, where are you going? Are you going to look for Jasper?" Liam pinned down her shoulders.

"He got hurt because of me. I can't just leave him alone!" she argued, her heart racing with worry. She was determined to get to Jasper.

"Why would you want to see him? He deserves whatever happens to him! I don't care if he lives or dies!" "Liam, I-"

Liam's eyes were sprouting fire. He forcefully pinned her down by the shoulders and schooled her, "You wasted so many years on that guy. Can you just put him behind from now on, please? Can you put yourself first for once?"

"Liam," she mumbled after taking a deep breath. "I can be harsh sometimes, but I can't abandon my

conscience. You have to admit that I'm still here, alive and kicking, only because of him."

In the end, Liam couldn't persuade Alyssa to stay. She found out Jasper's room number and went there with Sean's support.

As they pushed the door open, they were taken aback by what they saw. The room was empty, and the blanket was neatly folded on the bed.

Yet, Alyssa could still detect Jasper's distinct, manly scent lingering in the air, tugging at her heart.

*Excuse me, where's the patient in this room?" Alyssa stopped a nurse and questioned her.

"He was discharged earlier in the afternoon."
