“Mr. Jasper! Wait!” Ben called out to him.
Jasper asked, “Do you have something else to say, Ben?”
“Is it really impossible for you and Ms. Alyssa anymore?”
Jasper felt a stab in his heart.
“I don’t know.”
“Ms. Alyssa has something on her that you don’t know.” Ben clenched his fist and struggled with the
words.
Jasper turned back with a look of intense curiosity, “What is it?”
“Ms. Alyssa made me promise to keep it a secret. I can’t say,” Ben looked conflicted.
“But I hope that Ms. Alyssa can tell you herself one day.”
Jasper’s curiosity surged.
Alyssa initially hid her identity as the heiress of the Taylor family, devoting herself to him and loving him

Two days after the amputation surgery, David woke up.
Alyssa arrived at the hospital early that day. She didn’t just finish the surgery and leave.
After all, Victor had entrusted her. She had an obligation to follow up on the subsequent treatments.
Alyssa examined David’s newly reattached left leg in the hospital ward with two attending physicians.
His right leg had already been replaced with a prosthetic.
“My legs… My legs…” David cried desolately with a bleak expression, but the tears wouldn’t come
anymore. “I’m done… My life is over!”

Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears.
“I was in a coma, and none of you could rush back from abroad. The only people by my side were Alice
and Ben! I had no idea then how badly Alice was hurt! Head injuries, blood everywhere… She even
repeatedly instructed Ben not to tell you and me, afraid that we would worry!”
Jasper’s pupils quivered intensely. His heart ached as he absorbed those words.
Upon hearing this, Ben remembered a moment from the past and bowed his head in sorrow.
The concealed truth within him felt suffocating. Yet, as a dedicated secretary, he faithfully maintained
confidentiality, strictly following the instructions of Newton and Alyssa.
“Grandpa, is that true?” Jasper was completely stunned.
“At this point, why would I make up such lies to fool you?”

or disliking you forever, it’s your own fault. You should bear the consequences for what you’ve done!”
Newton finished speaking and pushed the wheelchair forward without looking back.
“Mr. Newton, let me take you back to your room,” Ben said anxiously.
“No need! I’m in a bad mood. Don’t bother me-any of you!”
A chilling stillness gripped the atmosphere, and Jasper felt like he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Ben, you’ve seen it for yourself. Grandpa doesn’t want to see me.”
Jasper’s throat rolled dryly.
His voice was low and hoarse as he instructed Ben, “Tonight, I’ll stay in a hotel near Crescent Bay. Let
me
know if there’s any issue with Grandpa, and I’ll rush over. I won’t stay here and cause trouble for the
old
man. I’ll leave for now.”
