Chapter 816
The Schmidts exchanged funny looks with each other, suspecting a relationship between Alyssa and Jameson, given their
intimate behavior.
However, given Jameson’s standing in the family, he was not an ideal match for Alyssa.
“I’m okay,” Alyssa replied, steadying her breath before struggling to free herself from Jameson’s arms.
She refused to cause any misunderstanding under the many watchful eyes. Jameson awkwardly froze and clutched his fingers
stiffly.
Victor rushed to the scene at that moment, followed by his staff. He inquired, “Lyse, how’s the situation?”
She wiped away the sweat on her forehead and sighed helplessly. “Uncle Victor, I tried my best, but I only saved his left leg
because his injuries were too severe.”
“W-What about the other leg?”
“It has to be amputated,” she dropped a bomb that nearly caused Victor to faint.
He mustered, “It’s... It’s alright. I know his legs.”
you gave your best. I’m grateful that you managed to save one of
Alyssa revealed in honesty, “By the way, David woke up toward the end of the surgery. He told me that someone had beaten him
up and crushed his legs.”
Shocked, Victor demanded, “Who did that to him?”
“You’ll have to ask him about that when he has calmed down.”
Thanks to Alyssa’s exceptional skills, the surgery successfully concluded. News of her leg surgery spread through the hospital
like a miracle story.
After David was transferred to the VIP patient room, his family entered the room to keep him company. Only Jameson stayed
with Alyssa by the bench.
He handed Alyssa a cup of hot coffee. “Lyse, you must be thirsty. Have a drink.”
“Thanks,” she mumbled and received the coffee.
She looked at him sideways with an unreadable look in her eye.
Jameson added with sincerity, “I should be the one to thank you for saving one of David’s legs. He might
be crippled and need prosthetics, but it’s still better than being wheelchair-bound.”
His heart leaped into his throat. “What?”
She refrained from interrogating him. She slowly rose from the bench and announced, “I’m hungry. I’ll go get some food.”
Worried about her, Jameson rose from the bench and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Suddenly, Alyssa pressed against her forehead. She felt dizzy, nauseous, and frail. Due to a lack of food intake, her blood sugar
was dangerously low, causing her to suffer from fainting spells.
Thankfully, Jameson quickly held her, saving her from a fall. “Lyse...”
A familiar voice echoed in the hallway. “Alice?”
She opened her eyes and turned slowly, only to be taken aback by what she saw.
Not far away, Jasper, looking stoic, wheeled Newton over to her. Newton looked astonished to see her at
the hospital.
