Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 211

At that moment, Alyssa so wanted to be Colene's pet, Bobo, and tear that bastard into pieces!

In the three years of marriage, they had slept in separate rooms and never held hands. She was disgusted at how he shamelessly initiated the skinship after the divorce.

His heart seemed to have broken into half.

"Mr. Beckett!" A Porsche stopped in front of them. Xavier hopped out worriedly. "Are you mad? You should have gone to the hospital after the car crash! You're not taking your health seriously!"

"It won't kill." Jasper struggled to open his eyes. Still, he couldn't see Alyssa clearly. "You're the mad one."

Alyssa was stunned. She finally learned the reason behind his tardiness and why he was so out of it to the point that he couldn't hold a pen.

He had been involved in a car crash!

"You should have gone to the hospital! Do you think you're invincible? What if there's internal bleeding? The delay might lead to paralysis, do you know that?" She glared at him as her heart leaped to her throat.

He said in a low voice, "I thought you were looking forward to today. If I went to the hospital, we would have to postpone the divorce. That wouldn't have sat well with you."

Caught by surprise, she flashed him an icy smile. "Of course I wouldn't have wanted that. I guess I should thank you."

"Lyse!"

She turned around when she heard her nickname and found two luxury cars in black parked nearby. Jonah and Silas stood in front of the cars, looking smart in their suits. Silas even brought a bouquet of eye-catching red roses. He was wearing a wide smile on his face.

"Jonah! Silas!" She skipped her way to her brothers with joy in her eyes. Jasper stared bitterly at the scene.

He recalled the time he foolishly waited outside the Taylor residence for the entire day, enduring the outside elements and the cold shoulder while the Taylors were enjoying their family time indoors.

He wondered if he should blame himself for being dumb or Alyssa for lying to him.

"Why are you here?" She lifted Jonah's bandaged left hand. "You should have rested at home. Why did you tag along?"

"I'm not that weak. I am fine now." Jonah wrapped an arm around her waist and looked at her warmly. "This is your big day. That means it's an important day for us too. We weren't there when you were married, but we would definitely be present at your divorce."

"Jonah ..." Touched by his gesture, Alyssa felt a rush of emotions.

"Congrats, Lyse, for getting rid of that heartless bastard. Time to shine like a queen!" Silas grinned and handed her the bouquet of roses.

"Thank you, Silas! Love you!" She sniffed at the scent of the flowers. Silas raised his voice when he was speaking. Jasper's face fell when he heard himself described as a heartless bastard.

"Lyse!" Mandy Lovelace, Lyla Nelson, and Colene Waters emerged from the second car and crowded around Alyssa with smiles.

"Why are you all here?" Alyssa was pleasantly surprised and close to tears.

"Of course we will be here! We care about you!" Colene gave Alyssa a big hug right away.

"Your dad wanted to drop by, but that might cause a commotion. So ..." The thoughtful Mandy attempted to explain the situation.

"Got it." Alyssa gave her an understanding smile.

Jasper was tortured with a head full of questions when Alyssa was surrounded by her loving family. Why did she stay by his side and endure his emotional abuse when he did not show her a tiny fraction of the love that her family showered her with?

He was driven crazy by all the questions without answers.

"Oh, my God! That's the retired actress, Lyla Nelson!" Xavier gaped at Lyla, who had aged like fine wine. "I want her autograph! My mom is a fan of hers!"

Jasper shot him a look. "Back to the company now!"

However, he gave in and blacked out in the next second.
