His eyes bulged with anger as he yelled, “I don’t care who he was in love with at the time. If he didn’t fancy you, he could have chosen not to marry you! Since he married you, he should have been responsible husband!
“But what did he do? He was an illegitimate child, unloved by his family. He also couldn’t take the pressure from Mr. Walsh Senior. But did that mean he could abandon his old flame and marry a woman he didn’t love?
“It is exactly this sort of weak loser behavior that makes me have no respect for him! He is not good enough for you and has no right to be my son-in-law!”
Alyssa curled her fingers into tight fists on her knees. She felt like a boulder was weighing her heart down, and couldn’t catch her breath.
“It’s not like what you’re thinking, Dad.
“That’s enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you! I want you to break up with him immediately! It must be a clean break! Don’t make me do it for you!”
Winston showed no sign of slowing down on his rage.
In a cold and decisive tone, he shouted, “Now, news about your marriage in secret and divorce has already spread. So, you shouldn’t be entangled with the Walsh’s anymore!
“And yet, you have blurred the lines in your relationship with Jeremy. What do you think people will say about you?
“They wouldn’t care about whether you are both in love. They will simply assume that you had no choice but to return to your ex-lover after your divorce. They will think that no one else wants to take you in. No one other than Jeremy! Even if you don’t feel ashamed about that, at least think about your family!”
“You know me. I have never cared what people think about me. No. one can stop me as long as it is something that I want to do. Neither can anyone stop me from loving the man I love,” Alyssa responded firmly but coldly.
“You!”
Winston felt the blood pressure rise within him. All of a sudden, his vision became black. He stumbled and quickly grabbed onto the armrests on the sofa to balance himself.
“D-Dad!”
The blood drained from Alyssa’s face. She rushed forward and kneeled on one knee in front of Winston. She held his trembli ody and tried to support him.
“Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell, Dad?”
“Winston!” Mandy, Lyla, and Colene jumped. Their hearts were pounding, and they also rushed over to check on Winston.
“I’m fine… Don’t make such a big fuss,” Winston answered. He close his eyes and forced himself to suppress the massive headache he was getting. He could barely balance himself.
“Dad! Lie down, quick!”
Alyssa and Colene quickly helped him. They laid him on his back on the sofa. With eyes full of tears, Lyla whipped out her cell phone to call 911.
As for Mandy, she seemed to be unusually calm. In a flash, she retrieved two bottles of medication from the drawer under the desk.
She poured a few tablets onto her hand and fed them to Winston.
“Winston, take your medicine, hurry!”
Winston swallowed the pills and drank some water. As he lay back down, he began to relax his furrowed brows.
Alyssa picked the medicine bottle up and took a closer look. The next moment, she covered her mouth in utter shock. She was on the verge of tears.
“Cerebral ischemic stroke. This medication is to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Lovelace Pharmaceuticals developed this and only produced a limited amount yearly. Even people loaded with money can’t buy it.”
Mandy looked at Winston painfully. Her heartache was hard to conceal. ‘However, this year, the medication couldn’t stabilize his condition anymore. When your father fell sick twice at the beginning of last year, he pulled through with this medication.”
“D-Did all of you know about this? Am I the only one who is clueless?” Tears streamed down Alyssa’s face. Her heart was shattered.
“No. Jonah and Silas don’t know either. Your father didn’t want to tell all of you. He was afraid you would panic and worry.
Mandy squatted down. She took a square silk handkerchief and dabbed the sweat from Winston’s forehead. “Lyse, don’t be angry at your father. He loves you too much. He was afraid you would get hurt or be looked down upon. He cared for you too much and didn’t know better.”
“Look down upon? Who would dare to do that?”
Colene’s voice was hoarse. Her eyes were red from the tears, but her gaze was fierce. “Lyse is the eldest daughter of the Taylor family. If anyone dared to look down on her, I would scratch that person’s eyeballs out and rip their tongue off.”
Alyssa held her father’s cold hand tightly. She lowered her head uceply.
She should have known better.
She should have been more behaved.
She was too reckless. She went everywhere for Jeremy and didn’t even care to ask about how the family was doing. She was completely clueless about her father’s condition.
She wondered why she behaved this way.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Mandy collected herself and went to the door. “Who is it?”
“Mrs. Taylor, you have a guest. He is waiting outside the door,” Clark said respectfully.
“A guest at this hour? Who is it?”
“Mr. Jameson.”
Alyssa’s eyes dimmed. She slowly got up. It was as if a cold breeze had swept the place.
“Mandy, you stay here with Dad. I will go and meet him.”
Alyssa walked out of Heightsnew Villa with heavy steps.
Under the dazzling door light, Jameson stood there alone as he waited patiently. He looked tall under the light. His face looked gentle, and his eyes were bright.
From every angle, he didn’t look like a malicious man who only did the worst things.
When Jameson heard the door open, he looked up abruptly. The pair of beautiful eyes behind the gold- rimmed glasses smiled delightfully.
“Lyse.”
He called for her longingly.
Alyssa’s gorgeous face was cold and glum as she stepped closer to the man.
“Lyse, I…”
“What do you want?” Her tone was icy. She was no longer as warm and friendly as she used to be.
Jameson felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. He clenched his fingers. He was concerned. “I met Uncle Winston at an event I attended today. He didn’t look too well when he rested in the VIP lounge. He was struggling to complete the event. I was worried event after I went home. So I came to check on him.”
Alyssa’s eyelashes cast a shadow under the light as she lowered her head.
Back then, she thought Jameson was genuinely concerned for her father. Now, she felt he had ulterior motives.
He was willing to murder her sister and brother-in-law. Her father was nothing, but another body count to him..
Jameson was a vicious man all along.
He desired her so badly. However, he was unwilling to mess with her before getting her and fulfilling his desire.
“My dad is fine. He is as vigorous as a tiger.”
A cold smile hung on Alyssa’s face. He doesn’t say no to food, though. His stomach isn’t the strongest and often gives him problems. He probably had a craving, ate something he shouldn’t, and had a stomachache. You don’t need to worry about it. Go home.”
“Really? But I saw how terrible Uncle Winston looked. His head was hurting badly. It looked serious. It seemed like a cerebral ischemic stroke or something like that…”
“Jameson, are you cursing my father?” Alyssa interrupted lowly.
A sharp glint appeared in her gorgeous eyes as she asked, “Or did you. look into the Taylor family or something?”
“Lyse, I didn’t. You’ve misunderstood.”
Jameson saw how annoyed she was. He panicked so much that his eyes reddened. He went to her and grabbed her arm. “I’m just worried for Uncle Winston. I only wanted to see you!”
As if she was stung by a scorpion’s tail, Alyssa swatted him away. She staggered backward in anger, creating distance from the man.
“But I don’t want to see you.”
“Lyse, what is up with you?”
