Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) -
Chapter 581
Landon escorted Lauren into the car, with Angelina at the wheel as they departed from Seaview Manor's grounds. Inside the vehicle, he tenderly embraced Lauren and ran his fingers through her hair, his heart heavy with pain.
He had dropped by Seaview Manor to invite Jasper for drinks. He'd never expected to run into the fiasco.
He replayed the memories of Nina's indignant speech and Lauren's wounds on her arms with resentment. A searing pain surged through his body, unlike anything he had ever experienced. Although he had endured heartbreak after Alyssa's rejection, this anguish far surpassed any previous pain.
Inhaling sharply, he rested his jaw on Lauren's head and shut his eyes. He vowed that he would keep his word to protect Lauren.
"Mr. Harper, where should we go next?" Angelina whispered, looking at him through the rearview mirror.
Landon was caught off-guard by the question. He had told Betty he'd bring Lauren with him, but he couldn't host Lauren at his place. He'd be in grave trouble if Jasper heard about it.
"Laurie, I'll drop you off at Jasper's. Or how about Alyssa's place? Would you like to spend the night there?" he asked Lauren gently, lowering his gaze.
She winced and held her left ear, offering no response.
"Lauren? Lauren?" Landon called out to her a few times, but she did not seem to hear him. Instead, she incessantly mumbled, "It hurts..."
"Where does it hurt?"
Lauren looked up at him, the red marks still visible on her cheek. When their eyes met, the sparkle in her eyes moved his heart.
"Landon, I'm sorry. I know you are speaking to me, but I can't hear you ..."
"Why can't you hear me?" Landon inquired with worry. Slowly, Lauren removed her hand from her left ear, revealing blood on her palm.
Landon took a sharp breath as his mind went blank. Pained, he instructed Angelina, "Angelina, head to the hospital now!"
In a bedroom at Crescent Bay, Jasper found himself surrounded by Newton, Ben, the physician, and Alyssa.
Even Xavier had shown up after his work hours in his pajamas and home slippers, having no time to change after getting the news about Jasper. Standing next to the men in suits, he appeared quite comical. The five of them stood around Jasper, who was speechless at the sight.
