Chapter 1243
“Lyse will get better. She definitely will.” Jonah endured the sorrow,
but when he spoke those last few words, he choked up.
“What can I do… What can I do…”
Silas seemed lost. In his 30 years of life, he had never felt so panicked before. He paced back and forth, speaking to himself.
“Alright, then I’ll destroy Jasper now!”
As Silas said that, he was about to run outside, but Jonah firmly blocked his way.
“That’s enough! Enough!”
A hoarse voice pierced everyone’s hearts.
Everyone looked up and saw Alyssa standing stiffly halfway up the spiral staircase. The soft glow that used to grace her face was gone, replaced by a livid and lifeless look.
Seeing her like this, everyone felt a pang of distress.
“It’s been three years. It’s been three years since everything h I don’t care anymore! Why do you have to bring it up over a again? Why do you keep talking about it?”
Alyssa’s eyes turned a furious crimson. Almost hysterically, she shouted, “Must women give birth? Will I die without children?
“I don’t like kids … I hate them! I never wanted kids, never! I won’t allow you to cause trouble for Jasper. The loss of the child has nothing to do with him! It was an accident!”
“Where’s Clark? Neil, weren’t you supposed to watch her and make
sure she didn’t leave the room?”
Holding back tears, Winston roared, “Bring her back into her room!”
“I want to go back to Solana City! I want to see Jasper!”
“Dream the fuck on! Unless I’m dead, don’t even think about seeing that damn bastard again!”
The previously close father-daughter duo, having shared a good relationship for half their lives, had now experienced a total falling-
out.
Alyssa’s eyes were wet with tears. She stood still for a while, then suddenly laughed. “Dad, are you really so heartless? You married one after another, but I only want Jasper. You won’t allow it, right?”
“Lyse…” Jonah’s heart tightened, feeling her sister was emotionally unstable at this moment.
“Then are you afraid of me dying ahead of you?”
Everyone was shocked. The three ladies even covered their mouths in
fear.
“Lyse! D-Don’t do anything rash! It’s not worth it for that scumbag!” Silas stammered in panic.
“Who are you scaring, Alyssa Taylor?”
Winston squinted his eyes, gritting his teeth. The pain in his ch*st made it hard for him to breathe. “I’m your father. I know you. How could you bear to die?
“If you really wanted to die, you would’ve died on the day you lost your child or the day Jasper divorced you! Saying that you want to die now. Do you think I’ll relent?”
Alyssa almost gritted her teeth into pieces.
Jonah had hit the nail on the head. She wasn’t going to die. She just

But Winston didn’t buy it!
This time, Winston didn’t let things go her way.
“Don’t be anxious. With my current condition, I’m already halfway into the grave. I might just die tomorrow. You want to die ahead of me? It might not happen as you wish.”
“Dad, stop it! You know Lyse didn’t mean that. Why do you have to say harsh words that hurt each other?” Jonah couldn’t bear seeing them hurt each other.
Winston was heartbroken, but he maintained a cold and stern
demeanor. “She’s willing to abandon her father for a stupid man. Why should I consider her feelings?”
