Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2107

Newton's condition stabilized after getting his fluids replenished. He had a sound afternoon nap at the hospital before Alyssa escorted him home in the evening.

Right as Alyssa and Sean exited the villa, they ran into Jasper, who had just rushed home.

"Lyse!" Jasper wrapped his arms tightly around Alyssa, his labored breathing betraying his urgency. "Thank you. Even after rushing here, it seems I couldn't be of any help."

"Don't say that. It's also my responsibility to look after Grandpa Newton." Alyssa smiled tenderly. She put her arm over his broad shoulders and gently squeezed.

"I'll go see Grandpa."

Jasper was just about to walk away when Alyssa held him back. "It took him a while to fall asleep. Don't disturb him. He's getting old. Having to attend Lauren's wedding took a toll on him. He's physically and mentally exhausted, so just let him rest."

"Okay," Jasper sighed, feeling remorseful.

"Hey, Jasper." Alyssa paused. She had a serious look on her face. "Let's talk in the car."

The couple got into the backseat of Alyssa's Rolls-Royce while Sean took the driver's seat. They convened.

"When I went to the hospital with Grandpa Newton today, I saw Jameson. He's hospitalized there," Alyssa shared.

Jasper's eyes widened. He held her hand tightly, his palm warm and clammy, expressing his silent concern.

"Don't worry. I just paid him a courtesy visit. He didn't do anything. After all, we can't achieve anything without taking calculated risks."

Alyssa frowned and continued, "His secretary said he only had appendicitis. But if that was true, why the tight security? He clearly doesn't want anyone to know he's sick.

"There was also another thing. The diazepam pills. Carl claims that they're for his mother."

Sean chuckled coldly, "But Ms. Alyssa had previously looked into his background. He's an orphan! Just look at that attitude of his. He doesn't deserve to have a mother!"

"Diazepam pills. I know what those are." Jasper pressed his lips tightly together. "Diazepam is also known as Valium. It's a type of inhibitor for the central nervous system. Not only can it relieve anxiety, it can also help with sleep. It is also useful for controlling epilepsy and convulsions.

"When I was in the military, some soldiers would take this medication as a treatment for PTSD."

"Could Jameson have epilepsy?"

Sean's eyes filled with doubt. "So what if he's ill? He killed his entire family. There's no one else to threaten his position. What is there for him to be afraid of?"

"Those were my thoughts exactly. Hence, what he has isn't any illness." Alyssa narrowed her eyes. "I saw track marks on his arm.

"Considering all points of suspicion, I believe he's been injecting drugs long-term, causing side effects that forced him into the hospital."

Jasper and Sean were flabbergasted.

"This is the only explanation for all the irregularities." Alyssa scoffed, "Jameson runs a drug business in Kontina. After returning, he got involved with illegal drugs. Do you think a drug king like him would stay clean after all these years?
