He let out a muffled cough and retorted, “Landon Harper, are you thinking straight? Lyse
can give you al checkup, you know. You shouldn’t be wasting Lauren’s time.”
Alyssa crossed her legs on the couch and stared disdainfully at the cheesy Landon. She
quipped, “So, you’re a chef now after retiring from your playboy days? Well, it’s pretty
impressive for you to turn over al
new leaf.”
“Ahem. This will be my first time cooking tonight. I’m kind of nervous,” Landon confessed.

to learn his motives. Am I right?”
Her eyes brightened. She nodded. “Yeah.”
“Lyse, I’ll take care of this for you. When I’m discharged…”
“I can’t wait. Don’t you know how badly Lyla has been affected by the incident?” she cut
him off coldly and cracked her fingers. “I had to put my investigation on hold because of
your surgery. Otherwise, I would have tracked down that man and taught him a lesson.”
Jasper looked at her with a tender smile, his expression unchanged.
