Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2247

Justin seemed to embody every word that defined gentleness, composure, and grace. Despite his physical imperfections, he never gave up on himself or resented others.

Even so, Alyssa felt an inexplicable sense of unease around him. Standing beside him left her feeling oppressed in a way she couldn't quite put into words.

"I'm fine, thank you." Alyssa raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

She remembered how she used to cry so freely, especially in front of Jasper. She'd ruin her entire image, sobbing into his shirt or tie. Unlike Justin, Jasper never offered her a handkerchief. He was more like a giant tissue—always there, letting her cry on him, no matter how disheveled it left him.

Even so, he would still coax her tenderly and plant kisses on the tip of her reddened nose. He made space for her boundlessly.

Justin smiled slightly. He stuffed his handkerchief back into his suit pocket. In a soft voice, he said, "Jasper has now regained consciousness. I heard that his brain was damaged, so he's changed as a person. I'm afraid that the problem couldn't be solved even if I managed to find out what that medication was.

"Give him some time, Ms. Alyssa. He will recover eventually."

"I don't care how he changes." Alyssa choked back her tears. An optimistic and determined smile spread across her face. "I'm still young. I have plenty of time to stay by his side while he recovers. Is a lifetime enough?"

The look in Justin's eyes dimmed. However, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I've never envied anyone in my life. Jasper is the only exception."

Alyssa looked toward him again.

He leaned forward slightly. A subtle, cool scent wafted around Alyssa. In a deep voice, he continued, "It's only because he has you."

…

On the way back from the hospital, Justin maintained his usual composed posture. For some reason, that made Sheryl's heart race as she sat next to him. She felt like the air in the car was thin, making breathing difficult.

"What's wrong, Mr. Justin?" Sheryl probed gently and cautiously.

"As expected, Jasper became like a different person after he woke up. He treats Alyssa differently from before too. Aren't all these within your prediction?

"Didn't you want Jasper to lose everything and for him to become a useless man in Beckett Group, so that you can overthrow him completely?"

With an indifferent expression on his face, Justin gazed out the window with a deep, frigid, and sharp look in his eyes.

He answered, "However, even if he loses everything, I believe that there's one thing that he will never ever lose."

Sheryl asked, "What is it?"
