Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 703

It was not unusual for patients who underwent major surgeries to be in a coma for ten days. However, Jasper had a good physique thanks to his military background. He woke up on day four. "Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett!"

Jasper felt increasingly irritated as someone persistently called out to him. He struggled to open his eyes.

As his vision gradually cleared, he saw Xavier standing before him, appearing disheveled and visibly thinner.

Xavier was agitatedly spamming the emergency button by the bedside. "Mr. Beckett is awake! He's awake!"

"Anyone would wake up if you keep bothering them like this,” grumbled Jasper, his ears ringing and his mind muddled. "Where ... am 1?"

"The hospital, of course! Don't you know you've undergone a life-and-death situation?" Xavier informed him. Tears welled up as he recalled the misfortune that befell Jasper.

"Oh ... Lyse!" The first thing Jasper thought about after waking up was Alyssa's safety. The last scene in his memory was of the attacker aiming the metal stick at Alyssa. He lost the memory of what happened next.

He wondered if he managed to protect her. What if he failed to protect her from the attack? The thought was unbearable.

Xavier pressed him down and coaxed him, "Madam is fine! She's not hurt at all because you saved her. Don't worry.”

Jasper was still concerned. At that moment, the hospital staff and the attending physician rushed in and helped Xavier restrain Jasper.

"Where's Lyse? I want to see her!" Jasper shot up from the bed and trembled in rage. He seemed extremely emotional.

"Mr. Beckett, would you take a good rest for now? We can meet with Madam when you're feeling better. Just look at you now."

"I want to see her now. Right now!" For some reason, Jasper was tensed up. His head felt like it might explode at any moment, and his heart seemed ready to leap out of his chest.

Just as everyone was taken aback by his outburst, a melodious voice cut through the tension. "Jasper Beckett, are you acting like a child now? What's with the tantrum?"

A hush fell over the room as Alyssa stood at the doorway with a stern expression, her beauty still shining through.

"M-Madam!" Xavier grinned at her as if he had run into a savior.

"Lyse!" Jasper called out to her tenderly, but his trembling worsened. His head was heavily bandaged. He looked rather comical with his affectionate gaze.

She gave a faint smile and spoke coolly, "Please leave, all of you. The patient needs some rest." Her tone was professional.

"We'll leave him to you, Ms. Alyssa," the attending physician said respectfully and led the nurses out of the room.

Ever since Dr. White's true identity had become known throughout the hospital, the usually arrogant medical staff showed Alyssa the utmost respect and admiration.

"Madam, I'll leave Mr. Beckett in your good hands!" The sensible Xavier left the room and shut the door after him.

Alyssa was glad to see Jasper waking up. However, she was reluctant to show her joy. Instead, she put on a stoic look.

She reminded him, "Jasper Beckett, you'd best avoid excessive movements after the brain surgery. If you don't listen to me, you might end up an actual fool.”

She crossed her arms on her chest with a mocking expression on her face. "If that happened, I would be too embarrassed to admit I was an acquaintance of yours."

Jasper interrupted her words with his next action.
