Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

In the nick of time, the world stopped whirling as a warm strength instantly supported his back while another hand grabbed his arm.
"Be careful."
Justin looked up in surprise. His eyes met a clear, sparkling gaze. He felt an unfamiliar rush of emotions like a drop of water plopped into the still lake of his heart and sent ripples across it.
Alyssa used all her strength to push Justin and his wheelchair onto flat ground.
As her body swayed, a few strands of hair inadvertently brushed his face.
Justin's gaze darkened before he smiled wanly, his brows furrowed. "It's all thanks to you just now. If not for you, I would be staying here overnight."
"It was no trouble at all."
Alyssa looked down and kicked away a rock beside the wheelchair. "The wheels must have gotten stuck with rocks. That's quite dangerous. Why isn't Ms. Gillis with you?"
"I'm returning to Mosgravia soon, so I wanted to see Lauren before I left. Initially, I was at the café next to the hospital because I wanted to buy coffee for my dad and the medical personnel in charge of Lauren. Sheryl wanted to buy some things from the grocery store, so I waited alone in the café.
"But suddenly, I received a call from Rory. I couldn't help but worry about Lauren, so I just came over by myself."
It was obvious that Justin came over as fast as he could. His face was still sweaty, and he was trying to catch his breath.
Alyssa only saw him twice, but her image of him as the eldest son of the Beckett family remained the same. He was always elegant and well-groomed. Even when he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still sat with his head held high, like a swan. He never looked like he was caught off guard.
"As the eldest brother, your concern for Lauren is understandable. But judging from your condition, you shouldn't have come alone. It's too risky." Alyssa's expression was neutral, as always.
Justin's gaze was gentle as he smiled at her helplessly. "It's at these times that I can't help but wonder, if I were healthy and whole, I wouldn't be troubling others all the time."
Upon hearing that, a mixture of complex emotions flashed across her face, but they quickly vanished.
"Are you going to wait for Ms. Gillis? I'll go and see Lauren first."
"If you don't mind, may I go with you?" Justin's gaze was pleading. "I'm really worried about Lauren."
"You are Lauren's brother. Of course I don't mind," she said, then quickly turned away.
Suddenly, a hacking cough sounded from behind her. His wheezing breaths made her feel like he was about to drop dead at any moment.
"Ms. Taylor, I'm afraid my condition is... not helping me here."
Justin's face was ashen, and his lips were pale. It didn't look like he was acting. "I don't have enough energy. can you. push me there?"
Although Alyssa wanted to avoid as much contact with him as possible, she was also a doctor. She couldn't be so unkind to a patient, especially since Justin had saved Jasper. No matter what, she couldn't disregard his sufferings.
"Alright." Alyssa walked behind him and pushed his wheelchair along.
"Thank you." Justin placed a hand on his chest and tried to steady his breathing. He looked up to peer at that electrifying gaze that moved his heart.
The sudden intrusion of a deep and cold voice shattered the momentary calm. Its icy tone cut through the air, sending a chill down their spines.
"Lyse."
