Chapter 1025
Jonah blushed, his heart pounding when he met Julien’s passionate eyes. He remarked, “You look pale. You must have been
overworked.”
“Are you worried about me?” A tender look crossed Julien’s
enchanting eyes.
Gulping, Jonah managed to respond, “Yeah.”
Julien was incredibly elated at Jonah’s curt reply, and he no longer held onto the resentment from earlier. He was easily
appeased, all because he had helplessly fallen for Jonah.
He silently leaned into Jonah’s arms and explained, “I extracted the bullet from Mr. Beckett’s left shoulder and the arrow on his
back. Thankfully, the arrow wasn’t poisoned, or he might not have survived.
“Even so, he is in a critical condition. The arrow narrowly miss organ by half an inch. I’m sure everyone here knows the
consequences of organ rupture. Even if Dr. White were here, she wouldn’t be able to save his life.”
A stunned silence enveloped the group. Alyssa shivered, feeling a crushing weight on her chest. Tears brimmed in her eyes.
As Dr. White herself, she was fully aware of the gravity of Jasper’s situation after hearing Julien’s account.
“How about now? How’s he holding up?” Landon pressed on.
“We’ve extracted the bullet and arrow and performed blood infusion. He has displayed early signs of organ failure. He’s still in
critical condition.” Julien, as a doctor, was honest with his assessment.
A fresh wave of concern swept over everyone present upon that evaluation. Alyssa felt drained as she plunged into an icy depth.

In her moments of helplessness, Jasper would read her emotions. He’d wrap her up in his jacket or offer her a hug to warm her
up.
Despite carrying herself as a strong and invincible woman, in Jasper’s eyes, she was just an ordinary woman in need of
protection and care. “Can I ... check on him?” she asked, turning to Julien with misty eyes.
“He’ll be transferred to the ICU. You may visit him after he’s out of critical condition,” whispered Julien.
She nodded slowly and swallowed hard. “Alright, I’ll wait.”
Julien, not one to be easily moved, found himself sympathizing with Alyssa as he witnessed her dejected look.
After Jeremy donated his blood to Jasper, the medical staff sent him to a patient room to rest.
