Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper did not appear doubtful. Instead, he was riddled with guilt. "I'm not the best brother to Lauren, and I feel sorry about it. I've never fulfilled my responsibility as a brother. I was oblivious to her suffering at home and realized it many years later after Lyse informed me about it. I am a disappointment."

"Don't think of yourself that way. You're a good brother, and I can attest to it." Alyssa gently leaned into Jasper's arms and kissed him on the neck. "Let's not forget that Lauren wouldn't have gotten together with a doting boyfriend without your help. That alone makes you a good brother to her."

Jasper was tempted by her. He looked at her affectionately as he held her by the waist and kissed her on the lips.

A dejected look flashed across Cyrus' eyes. Before he entered the car, he said to them, "I'll send the information to you later. You can do anything you want with the bullies as long as it's not something illegal."

As Jasper and Alyssa were concerned about Lauren, they hurried to Sage Manor but failed to find Lauren there. They didn't even get to step foot in the manor because Landon stopped them at the door.

Looking fazed, he said to them with bloodshot eyes, "Jasper, Lyse, don't worry. Lauren is fine, though she's in quite some shock. Angie has coaxed her to sleep."

Putting aside Lauren's condition, Landon did not look that well himself. They assumed that the hostage situation gave him a good scare.

Jasper had wanted to enter the manor, but Alyssa grabbed his arm and shot him a look. Taking her hint, he had no choice but to ask Landon, "Is Lauren... really okay?"

"She's fine." Landon forced a smile and pretended to look relaxed. "I wouldn't have been here chatting with you if she weren't okay. I would have flattened the earth."

Landon's words made sense. Alyssa agreed, "Fine. Let Lauren rest. We'll drop by in two days when she's calmed down." Then, she took Jasper's arm, ready to say goodbye when Landon suddenly called out to her, "Lyse."

"Hm? What's wrong?"

Landon pressed his parched and pale lips. After some hesitation, he decided to sweep Cyrus' matter under the rug. Instead, he asked, "How's Mr. Winston doing? Is he better?"

"Yes, he's doing better. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Landon." Grinning, Alyssa left the manor with Jasper.
