Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509 

Just then, thunder sounded in the skies, followed by a strike of white lightning. 

It seemed to have struck Jasper to the ground, making his entire body numb and fixed to the spot. Only 

his heart remained tossing and turning in turmoil. 

“How long has she been joining you on your hikes, Mr. Forrest?” Jasper inquired restrainedly as if he were 

suppressing some emotion. 

“For the past three years now, actually.” 

The past three years. 

That meant since the start of their marriage. 

Jasper’s heart lurched once again. Bile filled his throat, flooding his senses. 

Alice… Alyssa … 

Jasper came to realize that Alyssa had been keeping that from him all these years, even though they were 

doing the same thing. 

While Jasper had his own reasons for his actions, he couldn’t help but wonder about Alyssa’s motivations. 

His head throbbed painfully. All these lies and secrets were driving him insane! 

“Oh dear. The rain’s a-coming.” Elijah glanced at the gray clouds gathering above the mountains and got 

his walkie-talkie out. 

He said, “Elias, it looks like a thunderstorm is on our heels. Please have the team be extra careful during 

the patrol, especially Alice! Over.” 

“Don’t worry, sir. Over,” came Elias’ reply. 

Jasper’s jaw was clenched worriedly. He turned and ran right into the park. 

“Mr. Jasper, where are you going?” Elijah cried. 

Jasper kept running, with only five words on his mind right now-“I need to find her!” 

The sky darkened considerably as thunderclouds gathered as far as the eye could see. It felt like the sun 

has taken a holiday.

Blinding strikes of lightning crackled through the sky as the wind picked up, howling in the rangers’ faces. 

“Damn it!” someone cried, “We already warned these hikers about potential thunderstorms! Why did they 

still decide to go on a hike?” 

“Let’s just focus on the present, shall we? Our duty as park rangers is to keep the hikers safe no matter their personal decisions!” Elias yelled through the torrent of rain and wind. 

“Over here, Mr. Parker!” Alyssa called, noticing a hiker’s phone caught between some rocks. 

“It must have belonged to that missing hiker! We must be on the right track!” 

Elias noticed how fast the weather was turning south. If they continued staying there, they might be the 

ones in danger next. 

He hurriedly instructed, “Split into two formations! Ms. Alice and Team A will go north with me while 

Team B heads west!” 

“Yes, sir!” 

The raincoat and windbreaker Alyssa had on were nothing compared to the violent tearing of wind and 

rain. She was shivering right now. Even her breath came out as a wispy mist. 

The two teams went on their separate ways to search for the missing hiker. It was a dense and large 

mountain, paths nearly indistinguishable from one another in the torrential rain. 

“Help … Help me! Help me!” 

“The hiker is nearby. I can hear her already!” Alyssa announced, stopping to gauge her surroundings for
