“Lyse…” Liam teared up, feeling bad for Alyssa. He attempted to get her out of Jasper’s arms.
Jonah might seem the gentlest among the four sons by Alyssa’s mom, but that wasn’t true at all.
Liam always projected a stoic and aloof image due to the requirements of his profession. Yet, in reality,
he was the most soft-hearted and emotional among the Taylor siblings.
He had even shed tears beneath his blanket the year he couldn’t make it home for Alyssa’s birthday due
to a mission, which went to show his sensitive nature,
“I’ll hold her,” Jasper refused to let go of Alyssa as he looked at her.
“You have no right to touch her!” Liam growled at him upon thinking of his poor, divorced sister. “Don’t
forget the way you abandoned and hurt her! Stop pretending to be a saint. I wouldn’t thank you even if you
saved her.”
“I never wanted to be thanked.” Jasper paused before adding, “She means a lot to me. I admit that I had
hurt her in the past. What I’m doing now is making amends.”
“No, you can never make amends,” Liam interjected sternly. “If you knew this would happen, you should
not have hurt her in the first place. You took the light out of my bright, carefree sister. You will never make
up for that, even if you put your life on the line!”
Jasper froze on the spot, as if he was struck by lightning.
“Home… I want to go home…” Alyssa trembled and murmured feverishly in her sleep, cradled in Jasper’s
arms.
“Lyse, I’ll take you home!” Liam took Alyssa from Jasper without another word. The moment he scooped
her soft b*dy up, she surprisingly grabbed Jasper’s black shirt tightly and wouldn’t let go.
“Don’t go… Don’t …” she mumbled between consciousness.
“I’m not leaving. How could I leave you behind when you’re running a fever?” Jasper whispered. His usual steely demeanor gave way to a softer side.
He turned to Liam and pleaded, “Let me send her to the hospital. I’ll leave once she’s there.”
“Dream on!” Liam glowered at him and barked.
“Liam,” Jonah called out to his sibling and approached him. “Let’s send her to the hospital with Mr.
Beckett ”

“But Jonah-”
*Anyway, Mr. Beckett, I’ll have to thank you for saving Lyse. Do get on the plane with us,” Jonah calmly
extended an invitation.
Jasper felt his heart squeezed and replied dejectedly, “Thanks.”
Once again, he gently wrapped Alyssa in his arms like recouping something he had lost.
The helicopter Xavier sent over had arrived then, but Jasper gestured at it to return. Then, he boarded the
helicopter with Jonah and Liam.
The helicopter took off into the night. All the while, Jasper never let go of Alyssa.
Liam touched her warm forehead. He breathed heavily as tears brimmed in his eyes. He called out to her,
“Lyse, open your eyes. I’m by your side. I’m back.”
“Liam, it’s just a fever. Don’t worry too much,” Jonah reassured his brother despite his own worries.
“Ms. Alyssa has gone through a lot. She almost fell off the cliff today,” Jasper stated, his gaze fixed on
her. The memory of that harrowing moment still haunted him.
That caught Jonah and Liam off guard. They were gripped by lingering fear in the aftermath.
“I merely offered her a helping hand. She saved herself,” Jasper explained.
“Jasper Beckett, you’re really a piece of shit,” seethed Liam. “You are the source of all her suffering.”
“I know. It’s all my fault,” admitted Jasper. After all the ups and downs in life, he finally grasped the cruelty
of his actions toward Alyssa. Hence, he humbly accepted all criticisms directed at him.
“Why did you marry her if you didn’t love her? Why did you give her false hope?” Liam glared at him. through tears that had rolled down his cheeks.
Liam added, “She is fond of this mountain. It’s a special place for her because of you! She’s lived her life for you, but what have you ever done for her?”
