Can't Win Me Back



Alyssa squinted through bleary eyes. After staring at Jonah briefly, she squirmed a little before closing her eyes again.

"Either you forget Jasper or step up and make him fall for you all over again."

Jonah's gaze was fiery, like twin flames dancing in his eyes. "Look at yourself right now. You're just wasting your life away right here!"

"You're really noisy..." Alyssa mumbled, burying her head into the pillow. Her dark hair fanned out across the white sheets, making her seem all the more fragile. "Go away... Let me sleep.'

As her older brother, Jonah felt a mix of frustration and helplessness. His heart ached to see her like this.

The key person involved had to be the one to solve the problem. Persuasion coming from anyone else was meaningless.

Jasper was the only one who could help her with overcoming her troubles.

'Ms. Alyssa, if you're hungry, you can get the chef at the hotel to whip something up for you. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Why must you have instant mac and cheese?"

Sean was extremely worried. "It's not good for your health to have so much mac and cheese cups. What would you like to have? I'll make it for you."

"Mac and cheese cups are yummy... I like it,' Alyssa answered in a monotonous voice. She was not completely disheartened yet. She was still capable of answering questions thrown at her.

Cyrus was well aware that Alyssa was a drama queen. Instead of employing a conventional approach, they needed to go with something more unexpected.

So, he walked to the side of Alyssa's bed, leaned into her ear and whispered like a devil, "I found out who came in contact with Jameson."

A few seconds later, Alyssa sat right up in bed suddenly. She widened her eyes and asked, "Who were they?"

"My goodness... You stink!"

Cyrus pinched his nose and pretended to be disgusted. "The cleaner will think that it's a crime scene when she comes in tomorrow morning and call the cops immediately."

Sean burst out laughing when he heard Cyrus' exaggerated response.

"Go take a shower and have a proper meal. I will tell you my findings if you do as I say."

As expected, this tactic worked.

Alyssa crawled out of bed swiftly. Barefooted, she stumbled toward the bathroom.

Looking at Alyssa from behind, Jonah's frown deepened. He noticed that she had her arms crossed in front of her chest and was leaning forward by her hips slightly. He also saw that her skinny legs were trembling.

"Lyse, what's wrong?" he asked in a worried voice immediately.

*I'm fine... I'll take a shower. I'll be quick," Alyssa replied in an especially soft voice.

It was obvious to Jonah that there was something off about the way she breathed. His chest tightened. He walked toward her quickly.

"Lyse, are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital right now."

'I'm no-'

In the next second, Alyssa felt an intense cramp in her stomach, as if there was a spiky ball rolling around in herNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

abdomen.

Right after that, her muscles tightened. She bent forward suddenly and threw up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Lyse!" Jonah and Cyrus yelled and rushed forward immediately.

Sean was scared out of his wits. As quickly as he could, he picked up his phone and called for help.

Alyssa fell into Jonah's arms. Her vision went dark and fresh blood pooled in her mouth. Bit by bit, she lost consciousness.
