Chapter 692
Winston had no choice but to offer some consolation. “Ever since our hospital started
working with
Lovelace Pharmaceuticals, we’ve become the top hospital in the country. Your son will
definitely make it out safely under our doctors’ care.”
Javier pursed his lips, quietly grumbling to himself about how the hospitals under their
company were just as capable. Even now, Winston was still bragging!
All of a sudden, the ER doors opened. Two of the country’s best neurologists came outside,
sporting
uncertain expressions.
Alyssa immediately tensed up. She wanted to run up to them right away to ask how Jasper
was. But her tumultuous emotions kept her feet locked to the spot.
“Doctor! Doctors, how is my grandson?” Newton rushed over with Javier’s help.
Alyssa’s heart clenched painfully at the sight of the old man’s legs wobbling weakly under
his weight.
“Things aren’t as good as we hoped. Mr. Jasper is still in a critical condition,” one of the
doctors said.
An invisible ray of lightning struck through the Beckett family members. Newton’s legs
wobbled even

further, nearly making him fall backward.
Javier was as pale as a bone. “How … how could this be?”
The doctor reported, “If this had been the first time Mr. Jasper had a head injury, his
wounds would have
been easier to deal with.
“But after doing a CT scan, we noticed old scar tissue in his cranial area. That means he’s
suffered
traumatic injury on his head once before.
“There’s still blood clots near his brain that have yet to be removed entirely!”
“Old… old scar tissue?” Newton was shocked.
“He’s never participated in anything extreme. Why would he have suffered such injuries
before? Who
dared to hurt my grandson?”
Alyssa’s heart pounded furiously in her chest. When she had still been married to Jasper,
she had tried
healing the old injuries in his head with acupuncture.
Every time she had tried asking him how he got it, he had always refused to answer.
Had Jasper gotten those injuries from his time in Luminara? Were they the cause for the
side effects?

“The clots have shifted and are now pressing against his brain’s nervous system. If we
don’t remove them
now, there’s a high risk of brain death.”
The doctors’ words shocked Javier and Newton to their cores.
Javier’s heart slowly fell into a bottomless pit, while Newton nearly collapsed in his son’s
arms.
“Oh Jasper! You’re still so young… why did it have to come to this?” Sophia wailed,
blaming Alyssa as she
did.
“When did Jasper ever mistreat you in your three years of marriage, Alyssa? He only asked
for a divorce!
Why won’t you just leave him be?
“He didn’t even come to my own birthday but went to your father’s third wife’s instead!
Now look at what
happened to him! Are you trying to torture him?”
“What are you talking about, Madam Sophia?” Jonah finally’ snapped, his expression dark.
Though he was usually calm, he couldn’t stand hearing the insults directed at his sister
any longer.
“Jasper owes my sister for all she did during their marriage. You and your family know just

sister was to him during those three years!
“We’re just as worried for Jasper now that he’s hurt, but don’t start blaming my sister for
things she didn’t
do and ruin her reputation.
“Another word from you, and I can’t promise what I will do to you!” Jonah hissed.
Winston approved his son’s words and went to stand behind Alyssa protectively.
Sophia’s heart skipped fearfully, though she still used Javier as a shield.
“Did I say anything wrong? Do you dare swear upon your heart that Jasper hasn’t suffered
plenty in all these days that he’s been involved with your sister? Your sister clearly wants
to make his life hell!”
“You got it wrong, woman! Jasper is the one who won’t stop bothering Alice, so just shut
the hell up!” Newton cried, still adamant on protecting his dear Alice.
Sophia’s expression turned all sorts of ugly colors before she finally shut up.
“What can be done to save my son now, doctor? He has to regain consciousness!” Javier
asked worriedly.
He didn’t have any patience to deal with Alyssa and Sophia right now.
His eldest was crippled, so Jasper was the only heir he had left who was still whole and
healthy.
Javier didn’t want anything to happen to Jasper now. That would jeopardize his family.
