Alyssa picked the medicine bottle up and took a closer look. The next moment, she covered her mouth
in utter shock. She was on the verge of tears.
"Cerebral ischemic stroke. This medication is to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Lovelace
Pharmaceuticals developed this and only produced a limited amount yearly. Even people loaded with
money can't buy it."
Mandy looked at Winston painfully. Her heartache was hard to conceal. "However, this year, the
medication couldn't stabilize his condition anymore. When your father fell sick twice at the beginning of
last year, he pulled through with this medication."
"D-Did all of you know about this? Am I the only one who is clueless?" Tears streamed down Alyssa's
face. Her heart was shattered.
"No. Jonah and Silas don't know either. Your father didn't want to tell all of you. He was afraid you

Mandy squatted down. She took a square silk handkerchief and dabbed the sweat from Winston's
forehead. "Lyse, don't be angry at your father. He loves you too much. He was afraid you would get
hurt or be looked down upon. He cared for you too much and didn't know better."
"Look down upon? Who would dare to do that?"
Colene's voice was hoarse. Her eyes were red from the tears, but her gaze was fierce. "Lyse is the
eldest daughter of the Taylor family. If anyone dared to look down on her, I would scratch that person's
eyeballs out and rip their tongue off."
Alyssa held her father's cold hand tightly. She lowered her head deeply.
She should have known better.
She should have been more behaved.
She was too reckless. She went everywhere for Jasper and didn't even care to ask about how the
family was doing. She was completely clueless about her father's condition.
She wondered why she behaved this way.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Mandy collected herself and went to the door. "Who is it?"
"Mrs. Taylor, you have a guest. He is waiting outside the door," Clark said respectfully.
"A guest at this hour? Who is it?"
"Mr. Jameson."
Alyssa's eyes dimmed. She slowly got up. It was as if a cold breeze had swept the place. "Mandy, you
stay here with Dad. I will go and meet him."
Alyssa walked out of Heightsnew Villa with heavy steps.
Under the dazzling door light, Jameson stood there alone as he waited patiently. He looked tall under
the light. His face looked gentle, and his eyes were bright.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrom every angle, he didn't look like a malicious man who only did the worst things.
When Jameson heard the door open, he looked up abruptly. The pair of beautiful eyes behind the gold-
rimmed glasses smiled delightfully. His lips curled into a smile as warm as the sun.
"Lyse."
He called for her longingly.
Alyssa's gorgeous face was cold and glum as she stepped closer to the man.
"Lyse, I ..."
"What do you want?" Her tone was icy. She was no longer as warm and friendly as she used to be.
Jameson felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. He clenched his fingers. He was concerned. "I met
Uncle Winston at an event I attended today. He didn't look too well when he rested in the VIP lounge.
He was struggling to complete the event. I was worried even after I went home. So I came to check on
him."
