Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2283

Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus were dumbfounded. Even though Alyssa didn't seem to express much on her face, her tone was obviously much gentler.

Her voice didn't have that coldness and distance that she used to keep all men, other than her brothers and Jasper, at a distance. Could a traffic accident have led to her enlightenment and transformed her as a person?

Silas clenched his teeth. He had no choice but to allow Justin to enter the room.

"Thank you."

The smile reached Justin's eyes as he beamed. He maneuvered his electric wheelchair before Alyssa and placed the thermal lunch box on her bedside table.

Alyssa pursed her pale lips briefly. "Thank you for the effort, Justin, but I'm not very hungry now."

A gentle gleam shone through Justin's clear eyes. He chuckled. "You didn't have breakfast or lunch. Are you sure that you aren't hungry, Ms. Alyssa?"

Alyssa widened her eyes. "How... How did you know?"

"I'm staying right next to your ward. I've been waiting for you to wake up."

Justin looked down and chuckled slightly. He continued with a hint of awkwardness, "I know you're not in need of anyone else to look after you. I stayed back only so that it would be convenient for my checkups. At the same time, I could help to watch over you too.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I've hired the best surgeons in all of Cyrris to gather in Solana City so that they can give you a professional consultation. Don't you worry, Ms. Alyssa. I will ensure you recover fully and not suffer any side effects. After all, you still have so much to live for."

The Taylor brothers shot purposeful looks at one another.

After hearing that, Alyssa calmly turned Justin down. "Thank you, but I don't think there's a need for that because I'm a surgeon myself."

"I know that you are the famous Dr. White in the field of surgery. But, as the saying goes, don't play doctor with yourself."

Justin curled his lips into a relaxed smile. His rich voice was captivating. "Ms. Alyssa, you're a strong, competent, and independent woman.

"Even so, you should allow yourself to pause and take a break at times too. While giving others opportunities, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.

"I know that you're exhausted. Use this time at the hospital to clear your mind and have a good rest, okay?"

There was a slight quiver in Alyssa's lashes. She heard the message he was implying. Any regular woman who wasn't determined enough would let their guard down easily when a gentle and caring man from a prominent family flirted with them like this.

At the same time, while Justin was being nice, he also possessed an additional trait that others didn't-tact.

He wasn't overly attentive or overly cautious. He was nice to an appropriate extent, making others feel comfortable and causing them to desire to become closer to him.

While she was in a daze, Alyssa was reminded of Jameson.

To make her his, he first approached her as a friend. Eventually, he revealed his intention to win her over. Each time he approached her, he would be able to find suitable excuses for himself, ones that even made it difficult for her to turn down.

Both men had different approaches that were aimed to achieve the same results.

It was just that Jameson couldn't keep his cool in the end. Driven by a relentless desire to succeed, he continually hurt the people around her in his quest to hurt her. Alyssa only decided to connect with him as her suspicions about him grew.

Yet Justin was too mysterious. She knew practically nothing about him, so the only practical way was to approach him and integrate herself into his life.

"Jonah, the few of you should just leave." Alyssa calmed her breathing down, ensuring she didn't give anything away through her facial expressions.

The Taylor brothers had no choice but to exit the hospital ward.

Outside the door, Cyrus rubbed the back of his neck. Feeling worried, he commented, "Lyse treats this Mr. Justin really differently. Did she ever speak with any other man in such a gentle voice other than Jasper?"

"Damn it. That which I dreaded the most has happened!" Silas was furious. He put his palm to his forehead. "Now that Jasper has broken up with Lyse, she's at her weakest point. She's at the point where she needs company the most. Justin is now taking advantage of this situation. His chances of succeeding are really high!

"If Lyse suddenly failed to withstand his advances and ended up letting her guard down, wouldn't that mean Jasper would have no chance?"

Cyrus' heart pounded. He widened his eyes. "That wouldn't happen, would it? Lyse loves Jasper to bits, and they have been through so much together. How could just any man come between them?"

"Why not?"

With a grim look in his eyes, Jonah's tall body leaned against the wall, looking quite dejected. "No matter how deep someone's love is, as it suffers and goes through desolation, their love will eventually grow cold. They will split up and let it go.

"Lyse was also very much in love with Jasper back then. But didn't she also decide to divorce him in the end?" Cyrus and Silas knew that Jonah had just experienced a breakup. Inevitably, his current perspective was more pessimistic.

Cyrus coughed. "Anyhow, Mr. Justin doesn't look like he's lusting after Lyse, does he?"

Cyrus' mind raced. His words broke the awkward atmosphere once again. "Plus, with that body of his, he has to be on medications all year round and sit in a wheelchair. He's such a sickly man."
