Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2230

"Julien, what did you find?"

Jonah approached Julien quickly, wrapping an arm around his waist and gently caressing him. With his other hand, he pulled the CT scan from Julien's grasp.

Julien narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know how to read it?"

Jonah was honest. He answered in a deep voice, "I don't. Please enlighten me, darling.""

Julien pouted, giving Jonah a playful jab in his firm abdomen with his finger.

He knew Jonah's heart was heavy, and he wasn't in the mood to flirt. Regardless, Julien just wanted to lift his spirits after all the exhaustion.

Julien had been tirelessly thinking of ways to help Jasper since the moment he stepped onto Kontinian soil. *Jul..." Alyssa turned her head to look at Julien. With her eyes filled with tears, she looked extremely pitiful. "Lyse, I'm here with you too."

Julien's chest tightened. He smiled. With a gleam in his eyes, he said warmly, "Don't be afraid. With me here, Jasper will definitely wake up."

Alyssa nodded firmly. Even so, she couldn't stop crying.

'Jasper didn't suffer from any external trauma to his head. Plus, I found traces of medications in his blood. So, I can basically determine that his cranial nerves are being repressed by some sort of medication, resulting in him being in a coma.'

Julien let out a frustrated sigh. "But, I have not yet discovered what specific medication it is. Based on the analysis report of his blood sample, its components are extraordinarily complex. At one glance, I could tell that it wasn't some drug that could be purchased through legal channels. Some time is needed to perform a comparison with the sizable database.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Naturally, it doesn't rule out the possibility of drugs. After all, Jameson was the king of drugs in Kontina. He had all sorts of drugs in his hands. It's not impossible for him to release his anger by forcing Jasper to consume any of those.

"If that's truly the case, it makes things even more difficult."

A serious look filled Julien's face. "I say that because drugs will cause serious harm to a patient's cranial nervous system. I've just taken a look at the scans. There has been a slight change in a small area in Jasper's hypothalamus and brainstem. Even though it's not fatal, I'm unable to predict its consequences,

Jonah looked into Julien's eyes and pursed his lips.

Alyssa had cried so much that she could barely open her eyes. "Will Jasper continue being unconscious like this? Will he ever regain consciousness?"

Full of confidence, Julien answered, "With me here to help with his treatment, I am 90% certain that he will wake

up."

*Jul... Thank you."

"That said, I cannot guarantee what he will be like after he wakes up." Julien lowered his eyes. He appeared to have something to say, but he remained hesitant.

Right now, Alyssa no longer cared wish for anything. All she wanted was for him to regain consciousness and be safe. "It's alright... It's okay. No matter how different he may be, I will love him. I will love him forever. I'm willing to bear with it no matter the costs!"

Despite feeling weak herself, Alyssa stayed by Jasper's side the entire time.

Jonah and Julien couldn't talk her out of it, so they could only retreat from the hospital ward.

When they were in the corridor, Jonah suddenly held Julien back. He squeezed his hand tight. In a concerned voice, he asked, "Julien, you didn't tell Lyse the truth, did you?"

Their eyes met. Julien's clear pupils constricted.

'There's no one else here now. You have to be honest with me."

Jonah leaned into him, breathing into his space. "What's Jasper's condition really like? Will he... lose his memory?

His voice was raspy and slightly shaky.

In actual fact, he had a subtle feeling that a brain injury would affect his memory.

But he didn't have the guts to say it out loud. The term 'memory loss" was too cruel for Alyssa to hear.

It had almost cost them their lives before they could get back together again. How could she bear it if the man she loved the most forgot her?

"I can't be sure if he will lose his memory either. It's possible, but it's also not definite." Julien mumbled, "The hypothalamus is closely related to human emotions, while the brainstem plays a crucial role in activating emotions.

'Jasper's hypothalamus and brainstem are damaged to a certain extent. It might affect his memory, but there's also another possibility..."

Jonah's chest tightened. "What possibility?"

"That he will become someone else a stranger who simply occupies Jasper's shell."
