Chapter 699
“Jasper has… always been really nice to me since I was a kid. He looked after me a lot,
and so, he’s the
most important person to me right now…
Zoe wiped her tears, shoulders quaking as she sobbed. “After hearing that he got hurt last
night, I was so
worried I didn’t sleep a wink.
“I wanted to come over first thing last night, but Landon wouldn’t let me. He was worried I
would cause
more trouble for you.
“I’m so sorry, I should have come over earlier. That way I might still have been able to
help out some…”
“Poor thing. We see your efforts, dear girl,” Javier said with a sigh, approval apparent in his
eyes.
“I’m really grateful that you still care about my son. I’m so glad you two have been friends
since young.”
“We still have a close bond now, too, not just when we were kids.”

There was no doubt as to what she was implying.
Landon’s expression turned ugly. Zoe’s outright confession and attitude toward Jasper
really was
embarrassing to her status.
“Is Mr. Harper’s sister interested in Jasper, too, Jonah?” Winston asked curiously, nudging
his son, who
was sitting beside him.
“It looks like it, yes.”
“What does Jasper feel about her then? Is he interested?” Winston narrowed his eyes.
Jonah shook his head. “As far as I know, no.”
It wasn’t that he was helping to put in a good word for Jasper. He had just come to
understand just what
kind of man Jasper was.
Jasper was a single-minded creature, really. When he had liked Liana, all he had cared
about was her.
Not even someone as wonderful as Alyssa had been able to move his heart.
Now that Jasper had realized his faults, he only had eyes for Alyssa and no one else.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sacrificed himself again and again for her.
“I really don’t understand what these young girls are thinking these days. What’s so fine
about the Beckett kid? They’re all lunging at him like bees to honey.”
Winston wrinkled his nose, grumbling, “My sons are all still single and just as handsome as
Jasper
Beckett.
“The Harper family are a decent lot. If they have a daughter, why don’t they consider one
of my sons? Go
and win her over, Jonah!”
Jonah’s heart clenched. “I don’t like women.”
“What? What did you say?” Winston’s brows furrowed.
“What I mean is, Ms. Harper isn’t my type.”
Jonah cleared his throat and said wryly, “Can’t you tell she’s already set her eyes on
someone else? Drop
the matchmaking and leave us in peace, Dad.”
“What misfortune befell upon me to have none of my sons grow up to become like me?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“All you and your brothers care about is business, not women!” Winston grumbled,
shaking his head and
dropping the topic.
“I’m grateful that Ms. Harper still cares about my grandson at this time. You can go back
home now.”
Newton remained distant. There wasn’t even a hint of a smile on his face.
After all, he had no patience to deal with outsiders when Jasper was still in critical
condition.
“I heard… Jasper got hurt because he was saving Ms. Alyssa.” Zoe wasn’t going to let her
golden
opportunity to make a good impression in front of Newton go to waste.
“I can’t do much for Jasper right now, but… I can pray for him here. I won’t leave until he
wakes up.”
“No need, Ms. Harper.”
Newton forced a smile on his face, saying kindly, “I accept your gesture, but I’m a
materialist. I would
rather believe in the doctors’ capabilities and science than prayers.”
