Chapter 534
‘M-Mr. Beckett? Xavier exclaimed in panic and hit the emergency button.
Xavier grabbed some napkins and wiped the blood off Jasper’s lips as he pleaded, “You
can’t keep going like this! Please put an end to your confrontation with Madam and take
the medications she sent you.”
“I won’t,” Jasper replied adamantly despite the throbbing chest pains.
His eyes carried a deep sadness as he declared, “This is the only way to get Alyssa back to
my side. It’s
my only chance to spend time with her. I’ll put my life on the line just to see her once.”
“What did you say? That bastard refused to take his medications? But why?” Alyssa
growled when Sean interrupted her family dinner to update her. She immediately lost her
appetite from all the frustration.
“He said he’d only take his medications if you meet with him,” Sean fumed. “Give him an
inch, and he
takes a mile!
“Not only is he ungrateful for your help, but he’s also resorting to threats. Who does he
think he is? Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlyssa, you have done all you could to help. If I were you, I’d let him be. You should move
on.”
“Get the car ready. I’m going to Solana City,” Alyssa ordered furiously and vanished in no
time to change
into a new outfit
“M-Ms. Alyssa!” Sean called out to Alyssa, who had left in a hurry. Bitterness coursed
through his heart.
Jasper did not tell anyone in the Beckett family about his injuries and subsequent
hospitalization. He had
reached a point in his career where he needed to maintain the confidentiality of his health
status.
Many, both within and beyond the Beckett Group, had their eyes on his presidency. If
anything were to
happen to him, it would give them an excuse to remove him from his position.
For years, he had been walking on thin ice. He dealt with internal and external threats
over the years, all
because he was not Javier’s favored son.
As usual, Landon was his only visitor that night. Jasper did not confide in Landon that he
coughed up
blood so as to not worry Landon. He was determined not to let Landon waste time
searching for medical
help on his behalf.
“Aw, you poor thing.” Landon gleefully remarked as he slouched on the couch.

Seeing Jasper’s pale face, he jested, ‘Look how miserable you are. Mr. Beckett was on top
of the world
just a few months ago.”
Jasper lifted his gaze and wondered aloud, ‘What are you trying to say?”
“You had a gentle wife at home and a passionate lover out there. Life was good back
then.”
“Ahem, Landon Harper, Jasper warned. His face was rather dull. Landon’s provocation
almost triggered
another bout of coughing up blood.
“I still remember your complaints. You grumbled about going home to your overly zealous
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwife, which
made you uncomfortable. I was so freaking jealous of you at that time! Having a doting
wife is way better
than countless servants, don’t you know?” Landon lamented with a hint of disgruntlement.
He felt indignant for Alyssa and sorry for Jasper, who lost a good woman.
“At that time, I wasn’t truly bothered by her,” confessed Jasper. His heart ached at the
thought of Alyssa’s
kindness to him during their marriage.
“I’m not heartless. I could see how much she cared for me and loved me during those
three years. I gave
her the cold shoulder to show her the harsh reality and push her toward getting a divorce.
“At the time, I wasn’t in a position to secure her future. Staying with her would have only
been a waste of
her time.”
“What about now? You are practically clinging to her. Do you like recycling your women?”
Landon
quipped He cocked his head and placed a cigarette between his lips.
