She ran over and hugged Mandy tightly, tears streaming down her face.
“Oh, what’s wrong? Our little princess has become a crybaby?” Mandy gently comforted her, casting a reproachful glance at Jonah.
Jonah could only smile wryly in response.
“Mandy… Thanks for taking care of Dad. How’s he doing?” Alyssa forced back her tears and sniffled.
“He’s doing fine. He slept better tonight than the past two days.”
“Are you the only one here? Where are my brothers? How can they be so heartless? They’re not coming back at a time like this?”
The moment Alyssa finished speaking, the door at the end of the corridor opened.
“Silas! Can you please shut your mouth? I swear this is the last time I’ll ever share a room with you.”
Axel’s eyes were dark with exhaustion. He gritted his teeth in frustration. “Your snoring sounds like thunder during a storm. Are you trying to blast me to death?”
Silas followed closely behind, holding a pillow and yawning. Despite being tired and barely speaking in coherence, he retorted, “Do you think you’re innocent? If I’m thunder, you’re the hammer used for construction. And you grind your teeth, too!
“Whoever marries you will surely suffer from premature aging.”
“Silas! Axel!” Alyssa was moved to tears, feeling guilty for her thoughtless words earlier. How could she say such things about her brothers?
The Taylor family’s children had always been reliable. They were always there when needed.
“Lyse!” Silas and Axel suddenly had no trace of sleepiness as they rushed over to Alyssa.
“Silas came over right away, and Axel rushed back from overseas as quickly as possible. Liam is on his way.” Jonah’s voice was gentle.
He walked over and lightly patted Alyssa’s shoulder, giving her a sense of security. “Lyse, don’t worry. We’re all here.”
“Cyrus is on a mission out of town to apprehend an important criminal. He won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.”
Mandy continued with a hint of guilt, “I didn’t dare to let him know about Winston’s condition… I was afraid that he’d¡ª”
“It’s okay, Mandy. I get it,” Alyssa quickly reassured her.
“Cyrus needs to concentrate fully during his missions. Any distraction could be life-threatening. Let’s not tell him for now. His safe return is more important than anything else.”
Jeremy stood quietly to the side, not seeking any attention. He felt content to watch Alyssa surrounded by her loved ones, so he willingly became the man behind her back. As long as she was happy, he was happy.
“Mr. Jonah, Ms. Alyssa!”
Just then, Sean rushed in from outside. His expression was a mix of anger and frustration. “We’ve got a problem. Jameson is here.”
Alyssa’s and Jeremy’s expressions both changed instantly, looking alike.
“Hah! Does he have a death wish? I haven’t slept well for three days, so I’m full of pent-up anger.” Axel squinted, tilting his neck to the side.
Silas also spat out. “At this point, he still has the nerve to come over and pretend like nothing’s wrong? Is he mentally ill or something?”
Alyssa’s voice turned cold as she said, “Tell him to leave.”
“But he said he has something important to give to you personally, something you’ll definitely need,” Sean reported as he dared not get in the way of Alyssa’s business.
“He’s playing these tricks again. Does he think I’ll still trust him and fall for it again?” Alyssa’s eyes turned red with hatred, and her fists clenched tightly.
Jeremy pursed his lips and spoke seriously, “Lyse, your brothers and I are all by your side. He won’t be able to cause any trouble. Why not meet him and see what he’s up to this time?”
Alyssa was somewhat surprised by Jeremy’s unexpected open-mindedness. She knew that he wouldn’t have said something like this in the past.
Hearing that, Axel raised an eyebrow teasingly. “Oh, so you’re being open-minded now? Jamiper is your number one rival, Jeremy. Won’t you be jealous when you see them together?”
Jeremy smiled casually. “I’m not thinking that far ahead. I’m only afraid of missing out on something that Lyse really needs.”
The Taylor brothers couldn’t help but admire Jeremy’s attitude. This brother-in-law of theirs had quite the character.
Frowning, Alyssa thought for a moment before ultimately agreeing with Jeremy’s suggestion.
“Let Jamiper come in.”
The Taylors stood there, looking cold and stern.
Alyssa’s sharp gaze met Jameson as he walked toward her, and she suddenly felt as if she had traveled back in time.
Who would have thought that her childhood friend would become her most terrifying enemy?
What started as calling him a “little bastard” as a joke in their childhood had turned into a chilling reality ¡ªhe had become a heartless bastard.
Jameson’s delicate features were solemn as he approached. As he approached Alyssa, he flashed a heartfelt smile. “Lyse, I’m really happy to see you again.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened, and his tensed hand immediately encircled Alyssa’s waist, pulling her into his embrace. He became a formidable barrier for Alyssa.
Letting this viper in was his idea, but at this moment, he was finding it hard to contain his own emotions.
“But seeing you only makes me feel sick, like I want to throw up.” Alyssa’s words dripped with disgust as she looked at Jameson.
Jameson, seemingly oblivious, continued to gaze at her affectionately. “Lyse, no matter how you scold me or what you do to me, my feelings for you will not diminish.”
“I… Ugh…” Silas leaned against the wall, feeling like he was about to throw up.
Swiftly, Axel took out a dagger. “I really want to fucking stab this lunatic in the face and see how thick his skin really is.”
Meanwhile, Alyssa frowned, feeling a chill run through her body.
“Jameson, you came here as soon as you returned to the country. What are you up to?” Jeremy clenched his jaw. His sharp eyebrows added seriousness to his handsome face.
Ignoring Jeremy, Jameson extended his pale hand behind him, toward Carl.
Carl immediately handed him a tightly sealed medical steel box with great respect.
“Lyse, I heard that Uncle Winston had a relapse this time, worse than before.”
Jameson looked sincere as he held out the box to Alyssa. “This is a special medicine I got from a friend in Mosgravia for Uncle Winston. Many stroke patients have seen improvement after using this medicine.
I really hope it can help Uncle Winston¡ª”
Before he could finish his sentence, Alyssa’s eyes turned bloodshot. She angrily slapped the box out of his hand, sending it crashing to the ground.
Get out, right now… Get out!” She pointed to the door.
Her crimson lips trembled uncontrollably, as though her nerves, strained from the entire night, had snapped. “And don’t ever pry about my family’s affairs again. It has nothing to do with you!”
“Lyse…” Jameson’s pupils shrank, and he stood there stiffly. He looked as if he had been grievously wronged. “I have never had any ill intentions toward Uncle Winston or you.
“I only came to deliver the medicine. Even if you hate me… you should think of Uncle Winston’s wellbeing and not delay his treatment.”
Jeremy firmly grasped Alyssa’s trembling shoulders. His cold eyes were filled with hatred as if he wanted to pierce Jameson’s chest with them. “Mr. Taylor’s condition is not that serious. Don’t say such things to scare Lyse.
“Also, Lyse is Mr. Taylor’s daughter. She knows better than you how to take care of her father. You don’t need to teach her.”
The Taylor brothers and Mandy all nodded in agreement.
Axel, always direct, stood tall against the wall and sneered at Jameson. “Besides, who knows if the medicine you brought is life-saving or life-threatening?
“I’m afraid Dad will miss seeing the sun tomorrow along with his three beautiful wives after using it.”
Mandy was accustomed to Axel’s sense of humor, so she didn’t think much of it. But Jonah and Silas glared at Axel, tempted to stuff their socks into his mouth.
Upon understanding Jameson’s intentions for coming here, Jeremy spoke with a low voice, “Take your men and your things, and leave now. Otherwise, it won’t just be a conversation between us.”
As Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with his fingertip, a hint of hidden resentment flashed in his eyes.
“Why did you have to come all the way here, Jameson? You know that Lyse and Jeremy are deeply in love. They have already discussed marriage twice. Yet you persist in coming over and getting a cold shoulder.
“Tsk, tsk… I’m about to shed a tear just watching from the sidelines.”
