Alyssa stood up slowly, glaring coldly at him. “Jeremy, even if this was a trap, wasn’t it a fact that you went to the hotel to meet Zoe? It seems that Ms. Harper holds a significant place in your heart,” Alyssa said.
‘I didn’t go to meet Zoe! I went to see you!”
Jeremy’s eyes were red as he took a step forward. His warm and shaky breath brushed against Alyssa’s red nose as he reached out to hug her.
‘Don’t touch me!”
Suddenly, Alyssa, like a hedgehog with raised spines, stepped back and threw the ice cream she was holding directly onto his shirt.
“Lyse, I’m telling the truth!”
Jeremy’s arms hung in the air, torn between wanting to approach her and fearing her resentment. He was in such a tangle that he was on the brink of madness.
Jeremy exclaimed, “I called you so many times tonight, but you didn’t answer! I thought something had happened to you, and I’ve been worried about you all night!!
Alyssa was startled.
So many times? When did he even call?
Was he making things up?
Alyssa didn’t receive any calls.
Jeremy was a liar-a liar who didn’t even make the effort to craft a believable lie!
“I received photos from an anonymous number. They showed you being embraced by a stranger, entering a hotel together! I was worried for your safety, so I went to the hotel to find you. That’s when the scene with the reporters occurred!”
Alyssa looked at him with a mocking expression “Jeremy, if you’re going to make up an excuse, at least make it believable. If I had known you were going to say these baseless and nonsensical lies, I wouldn’t have bothered coming to see you at all.”
“I have proof.”
Jeremy gritted his teeth and, with hands shaking from the cold, he pulled out his phone.
Alyssa’s heart raced, her lips pursed. She was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
“These are the photos I received. Look, isn’t the person in these photos.
Suddenly, Jeremy’s eyes widened, fixated on the phone screen, repeatedly checking the messages in the
The photos sent to him via text messages had all vanished!
He swiped the screen frantically with trembling fingers. His perplexed stare gave the impression it could penetrate the screen, but he couldn’t locate the photos serving as evidence
Alyssa couldn’t believe that the photos had all vanished.
She forced a smile, but her eyes lacked any hint of amusement. She spoke coldly, sending a chill through
Jeremy’s heart. “Jeremy, if you haven’t thought of a good reason or excuse, there’s really no need to rush to see me
“I didn’t want to see you before, and I don’t want to see you now or in the future.”
As Jeremy watched her walk past him, Jeremy felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.
“Lyse! Lyse, don’t go!”
He was about to stop her when another voice said, “Lyse.”
Alyssa looked up and saw Jameson standing a few steps away. He was still wearing a patient’s gown, covered only by a sheepskin coat. His face was paler than the snow.
*Jimmy! Why did you leave the hospital? Don’t you realize you’re still injured?”
Alyssa rushed to Jameson’s side, looking displeased. “How did you come here? How did you know I was here?”
“After you left the hospital, I couldn’t stop worrying, so I had someone follow you. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not stalking you. I just want to protect you.”
As he spoke, Jameson weakly breathed and expressed concern, “How could I let you, a girl, go out alone so late at night? That’s against my conscience.”
Jeremy’s features adopted a chilly demeanor, and his gaze became as cutting as a knife. It was as if he wanted to tear Jameson apart!
“Let’s go back. It’s too cold outside.”
Alyssa helped him. She was ready to leave.
“Was it you, Jameson?”
The man’s voice, sharp as a blade, cut through, deep and magnetic, hoarse with a hint of anger.
“Mr. Walsh, you had an affair with Zoe Harper, and the paparazzi captured your hotel rendezvous How
Jameson couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes filled with mockery. “Isn’t this a case of mutual affection between you two?”
“Jameson Schmidt!”
“Mr. Walsh, instead of accusing me without evidence, why don’t you consider how you’ll explain yourself to the Harpers? How do you plan to clarify this with your friend, Landon Harper?
“Ms. Harper is unmarried. Given recent events, I believe marriage might be on the horizon for you.” Jameson smiled.
“Jimmy, quit it. Let’s go,” Alyssa suggested. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart and had the urge to flee the scene. She needed to get away from Jeremy-as far as possible.
As they turned to leave, Jeremy persisted, “Were you with Jameson the entire night?”
“Yes,” she said coldly, her back turned toward him.
“Alyssa, is he more important to you than me?” Jeremy trembled despite trying to control his emotions.
“Jeremy, what’s the point of asking that now?” She chuckled, her eyes dimmed. “To be blunt, you’ve dug your own grave. I was lying to myself. Let’s call it quits now-I beg you.”
With that, they vanished from his teary vision. Alyssa did not turn back at all.
Jeremy stood in the snow for a long time until his knees went limp. He fell onto his knees. It was then Xavier ran to him, panting.
Xavier gasped, “Mr. Walsh! Where’s Madam? Has she left?”
Jeremy hung his head like a defeated soldier. He grabbed the ice cream she had discarded on the floor until it melted in his hands. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
He mumbled, “She’s never trusted me. I don’t mind if she doesn’t have feelings for me, but how could she distrust me?
“Should I keep going? Is there even hope?”
Alyssa and Jameson sat in the back of a luxury car as it sped to the hospital. The air was heavy in the car.
Jameson turned to her with a worried look. “Lyse, are you angry at me? Sorry, I did it because I was worried about you.”
“You’re not to be blamed for my meeting with Jeremy. You don’t have to feel bad about it.”

“Lyse, what’s wrong?” Jameson noted the change in Alyssa’s expression and asked with concern.
She stated, “I’ve never blocked Jeremy on my phone. Why is his contact in my blocked list?” Her piercing gaze landed on Jameson’s innocent face.
“Lyse…”
“Did you do that?” She cut to the chase. “I did not contact anyone except for you tonight. Jeremy claimed that he called me throughout the night but couldn’t reach me because his number was blocked.”
Jameson balled his fists on his knee. There was a glint in his eyes.
She squinted at him and recalled, “I remember that I left my phone when I used the restroom at the restaurant. Did you take the chance to block his number?”
“Lyse, are you suspecting me now?” Jameson stared at her with innocent-looking bright eyes.
“I am not suspecting you. I am merely stating the truth,” Alyssa countered harshly.
