Chapter 525
However, Landon obediently stumbled backward after Alyssa shot him a death glare, like
one of
Cleopatra’s many male lovers.
Xavier swiftly went up to her and said, “M-Madam-”
“Madam? What?” Alyssa frowned.
“Uh, Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Beckett switched hospitals because he didn’t want you to worry about
his injuries. He
wanted you to focus on your recovery,” Xavier muttered meekly.
Xavier felt nervous every time he had to face Alyssa, who had grown assertive and
abrasive. She had
become the complete opposite of her past acquiescent self.
“He’s overthinking, then. I am not going to worry about him,” replied Alyssa with a snicker
and a lift of the
brow.
“But you wouldn’t have quickly located him if you weren’t worried about him, right?”
Xavier bit the bullet
and retorted.

“You-” She glared at him.
Jasper secretly grinned as he rested against the headboard.
Xavier might be a little slow and clumsy and didn’t always do his job right. However, he
had redeemed
himself and pleased Jasper with his words just now.
Jasper secretly decided to increase Xavier’s bonus pay.
“Leave, all of you,” Alyssa instructed coldly.
Sean mumbled with a troubled expression, “But Ms. Alyssa-”
She promptly cut him off, “You too, Sean.”
Nobody dared defy Alyssa’s orders. Landon, Xavier, and Sean shuffled out of the room
with their heads hung low.
When the door closed, Alyssa marched up to Jasper. Her face was a mix of anger and
concern.
She began, “looked at your patient records. You’ve got a serious concussion. If you’d
waited just one more minute for treatment, you could have risked a hemorrhage and your
life.”
“But I got help on time. And I’m still alive,” he replied calmly with a hint of nasal voice.

Jasper then cast a tender and heavy look at her. “Don’t forget, I’ve served in wars. I
endured all sorts of suffering and injuries. This is nothing.”
His intense gaze burned into her, triggering memories of their time together on the
Luminara battlefields.
Despite her composed demeanor, those memories tugged at her heartstrings. Her palms
grew sweaty,
and her breaths became ragged.
“I’m thankful to you for saving my life, but you don’t have to handle everything on your
own. Just let me
know if you’re hurt, and I’ll get you help. Why hide it from me?” She looked squarely at
him and said
shakily.
“Xavier just explained the reason,” Jasper answered coolly. He seemed nonchalant about
his injuries.
“You’re hurt on your back, aren’t you? Take off your clothes and turn around,” she
instructed, her tone cold
and authoritative, ignoring the meaning behind his words just now. “Hurry up! What’s with
the dilly-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdallying? Scared I’d take advantage of you?”
He smiled bitterly at her. “Of course not. You would have taken advantage of me three
years ago if you’d
wanted.”
“Well, I had the intention, but you never gave me a chance. You avoided me like the
plague…” She trailed
off when she realized her words had come out wrong. An embarrassed blush crept onto
her face.
Jasper was taken aback by the slip of her tongue. A heavy sense of guilt washed over him.
The awkward
tension in the room grew palpable once more.
He silently unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, revealing his bare, muscular top with
attention-catching
scars all over.
That wasn’t the first time Alyssa had seen him half-naked, but she still found herself
admiring his toned
physique. Swallowing hard, she ordered with an icy tone, “Lie face down.”
