Chapter 698
The Beckett family remained gathered outside the surgery room until 9:00 am the next
morning.
Javier and Newton stared fixedly at the door, with the former helping the latter stand.
Sophia had used the excuse that she was tired to return home to rest. Newton despised
her, and she
didn’t give a damn about Jasper. So there was no point faking her concern any longer.
“Why isn’t Lyse out yet? It’s been so long.” Winston gazed at the surgery room, feeling
uneasy.
“Brain surgery isn’t a small feat. Some take entire days to complete.” Jonah consoled his
father, patting
his back.
“Don’t worry. Lyse is stronger and more capable than you think. This surgery will definitely
be a success.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m not worried about that. I’m just concerned that Alyssa won’t be able to handle staying
up for an entire
night without rest.
“Isn’t she tired? Did she have time to eat a bite or drink some water?”
If Jonah hadn’t stopped Winston, he would have barged into the room to check on Alyssa
himself.
Jonah smiled lightly, “Here I thought you were worried about… the one being operated
on.”
Winston glanced at Newton who remained anxiously worried in the distance, frowning
lightly.
“The kid … gets a point for saving my darling daughter. He’s gone from a negative one to
zero now.”
Jonah pursed his lips. He didn’t tell Winston anything more because he had promised
Alyssa to keep
those secrets.
This wasn’t the first time Jasper had saved Alyssa. There was that time at Crater Mountain
Park too,
which had nearly killed him.
“Dad, let me ask you a question. If
“Jasper! Oh, Jasper!”
Before Jonah could finish speaking, a whining, sobbing voice cried out.
The atmosphere in the hallway swiftly changed. Both Newton and Javier turned to the
source of the noise.
Zoe was running over to them sobbing terribly, her high heels clicking loudly on the floor.
“What are you doing here, Zoe?” Landon hurriedly went up to stop her.
This is no place for you to cause a scene. Hurry up and go home!”
The moment Zoe glanced up at him, he jolted in shock.
There was a sheer coldness in her eyes Landon had never seen before. It was so alien and

as if Zoe was no longer his sister of 20-something years.
He no longer saw the trust and faith she used to have for him.
Zoe then gritted her teeth and shoved Landon away before running over to Javier and
Newton.
“Grandpa Newton! Uncle Javier! How is Jasper? Has he woken up yet?”
Zoe’s eyes had turned swollen red with her crying, creating quite the pitiful sight with her
hitching sobs.
“Who is…?” Newton asked, confused.
“Dad, this is Landon’s kid sister, Zoe Harper,” Javier introduced, feeling touched at how
upset Zoe was all
because she was worried for Jasper.
His tone grew gentler as he spoke. “She always came over to visit us when she was a
child. She was
close friends with Jasper, too. He always treated her as his own sister.
“Zoe went to study overseas afterward. She got back this year.”
“Oh… Landon’s sister, huh.” Newton nodded, but he said nothing else.
