Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The look on Alyssa's face suddenly turned dark. "Justin, whether or not I can or want to conceive, these are all my personal matters. These are not for you to worry about." "As Jasper's brother, I am one of the people who understand him. I know that he loves children. The way he cared for young Lauren when he was young already showed what a fatherly figure he was. Even if he doesn't say it, I'm certain he would love to start a family with you." Alyssa felt suffocated as a sharp pain shot through her heart.

"I might have overstepped. But I am only wishing the both of you all the happiness in the world in everything I do." Justin's tone was serious and warm. "If you accept the treatment willingly and becwell, Jasper will be happy, and you will not have any regrets. Don't you think so? I will arrange everything after I get back. You may cover for the treatment any time." Upon saying that, he turned around and headed outside.

"I will not go." Without any hesitation, Alyssa spoke in a cold voice. "I get to be together with Jasper. I have no other regrets. Furthermore, not every woman in this world desires to be a mother. I'm one such example. Motherhood is not something I desire.

"I'm still a child at heart. I've also inherited KS Group. I have a whole bunch of shit to clean up every day. I don't have the tto bear a child. You don't have to worry about anything like this moving forward, Justin." Justin smiled slightly as he wheeled himself away from the balcony.

After a short while, he slowed down. He squinted as he glanced toward the shadows behind him.

After Justin left, Alyssa stood alone on the balcony. She felt the cold breeze blowing against her. Yet, she couldn't feel the cold. At this moment, her heart felt colder than the breeze.

If possible, she would want to have a child with the love of her life. There was no doubt about that.

If a different person had said those things to her, she might have considered trying it. However, of all people, Justin offered her his help.

The last tshe had a brief interaction with Justin, Jasper was already freaking out so much. If she accepted his kind offer, Jasper would be dejected.

Alyssa crossed her arms. She looked at the bleak scenery a distance away from her and spaced out.

All of a sudden, she felt a warmth around her body. She turned her head around in surprise.

"Jasper?" Jasper had put his coat around her and hugged her from the back.

He rested his chin on her shoulder and had their cheeks touch. In the sunset glow, they looked like a beautiful painting of a romantic scene.

"Lyse..." The hoarseness in Jasper's voice tugged at her heartstrings.

"What's up?" She put her hands on his hands, which were on her hips.

"I don't want to have children, Lyse... I do not." Alyssa's eyes widened slightly. Her heart throbbed. "Just now... Were you..." "Don't trust what he said. It's never botheredwhether you could get pregnant or not. It's been the sback then and now." Pain rippled through his heart. In an indifferent tone, he continued, "All I want is you. You are all I need." "I know. You've said that many times," Alyssa answered in a relaxed voice.

"But, if there comes a day when you do want a child, you have to tell me. I will be willing to try anything for you. Even if it is to ask Justin for a favor..." "Those are my exact sthoughts." Alyssa's smile was tender and understanding. "If there comes a day when you want children, you have to be honest with me. I'll be open to trying anything." Days passed.

Throughout this period of time, andon had been stabilizing the situation at Harper Group. Othhan that, he had been staying at the ospital. He did all he could to keep auren company and care for her ›ersonally. Content belongs to >wCompanionship and love were indeed the best medicine.

Although the hurt was still there, Lauren was slowly overcoming her trauma. She cooperated with her treatment as best as she could.

At this point in time, she no longer had to be bound to a wheelchair. She could take walks in the hospital's garden and cout to get ssun.

The only thing was that she was still unable to speak.

During this time, Julien had performed a few checks on her. Even so, he was still unable to help her recover her ability to speak.

On this day, Landon had just helped Lauren wipe down her body. He was carrying a water basin out of the ward when he bumped into Julien.

"Hi, Julien." Julien chuckled. He narrowed his eyes and let out a relieved smile, "t see that you're getting more skilled ablooking after someone else. You seem to be even more skilled than the nurses, Landon." "I'm still lacking in many ways. I'm still picking up many of the skills needed to look after her for the rest of her life." Landon had a silly smile on his face. He looked absolutely smitten.

Julien pursed his lips. "It's been so long, but I still haven't been able to help Lauren speak again. I'm sorry." "It's alright." "As much as I hate to say this, I must be frank with you. You must be mentally prepared for the possibility that Lauren may never speak again." As a doctor, Julien couldn't hide his feelings of self-reproach. "That said, recovery is still possible for her in the future. I just cannot pinpoint a specific time." "No worries. I know that you've tried your best, Julien." Landon smiled relaxedly. He continued, "I will always stay by her side. I will never leave her no matter what happens to her." "Mr. Landon!" Jordan hurried over from the other end of the corridor. "I have something to report to you." Julien knew they had something else to discuss, so he excused himself.

Jordan's eyes were dark. He lowered his voice and said, "Tsulu's policee authorities just contacted me. Zoe's body was found in the mountains the morning before yesterday. She has been dead for five days."
