Silas inhaled sharply in disbelief.
In the hospital ward, Winston and his three wives settled down a bit after reading Alyssa’s latest checkup report. “Mr. Justin, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine what would’ve happened to my daughter if she had been at the hospital alone.”
Even though Winston felt troubled by that amorous sight he saw when he entered the room, Justin did help his precious daughter out, and it would be rude of him not to express his gratitude.
“No worries at all, Mr. Winston. Just call me Justin. I only ran into Ms. Alyssa because I was having a checkup at this hospital.”
Justin’s charming face was like a delicate sculpture. With an elegant and humble smile, he remarked, ‘Ms. Alyssa and I were destined to meet.”
Winston pursed his lips.
If Alyssa were single, there wouldn’t be any harm in him saying that.
However, she was already attached. That was an uncomfortable comment to hear.
Alyssa steadied her breathing. She peered over at Justin, who also happened to be glancing at her with a warm look in his eyes.
As their eyes met, the atmosphere in the room turned really peculiar in the eyes of the Taylors.
“When we came over, we heard that the culprit ran off after sending Lyse to the hospital. He didn’t even show any concern about her?”
Colene was furious. “What an asshole! Even if he didn’t want to take any responsibility, he should still give us a proper explanation and apologize to us in person!
“How could he escape just like that? This is a hit-and-run! Our family doesn’t need his compensation, but he should at least give us an explanation!”
Mandy’s eyes were still red. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Lyla, just be grateful. If he were really an asshole, why would he send her to the hospital after hitting her? What would truly be terrifying was if he ignored her altogether.”
Lyla furrowed her brows. “Let’s check the surveillance footage. Lyse went through so much suffering. We have to capture that person. We can’t let him off just like that.”
Colene seconded, “That’s right! We cannot let it go just like that. I’ll have people from The Ivory look into it. They will find that person within three days!”
Lyse, where’s Jeremy? Look at the state that you’re in. As your man, why isn’t he by your side?” Winston questioned anxiously. He knew nothing about all that happened before this.
He was indeed quite perplexed to see Justin taking care of Alyssa instead of Jeremy when she had been unconscious for an entire day.
Suddenly, Alyssa’s heart dropped. She forced herself to hide the pained look in her eyes.
Just as she pondered how to hide the truth from Winston, Sheryl pretended to exclaim in shock, “Mr. Winston, didn’t you know? Mr. Jeremy and Ms. Alyssa have broken up.’
Sheryl’s words came like a bolt from the blue, catching the Taylors off guard.
Alyssa shuddered. She curled her scabbed fingers around her blanket into a tight grip.
*Say what… Jeremy and my daughter have broken up?” Shock filled Winston’s eyes. He couldn’t believe his ears. Sheryl confirmed, “That’s right. Your sons know about this too. Though, it seems like you were truly unaware.” Lyla was on the verge of tears. She shook her head continuously. “That’s impossible… Why would they…”
Mandy trembled. She widened her eyes in disbelief. “They broke up? Why did they break up out of the blue? They share such a good relationship. How is that possible?”
Sheryl blinked. A hint of maliciousness lurked in her eyes.
“You shouldn’t be asking me this. You should ask Mr. Jeremy because from what we heard, he was the one who wanted to break up-
*Break up my foot! He would never do that to Lyse even if someone pointed a gun at his head!”
Colene blew her top and flew into a rage. She pointed at Sheryl’s innocent-looking face. “Where the hell did you get that information from? Stop spreading rumors and sowing discord! If you have any ideas about Jeremy, I will rip your mouth out and break your legs!”
*Madam Colene, I was just stating a fact. Why are you shouting at me? As an elder, this shouldn’t be how you present yourself, don’t you think?”
Sheryl’s eyes gleamed with contempt as she spat through gritted teeth, “Ms. Alyssa has already accepted the truth. If you are truly an elder who cares for her, you should honor her decision instead of lashing out at others.” “Damn it!” Colene was almost going to rush forward to slap Sheryl, but Mandy and Lyla held her back.
Justin’s gaze turned cold. In a frigid voice, he reprimanded, “Sheryl, shut up! Do not be rude toward Ms. Alyssa’s family members!”
Sheryl lowered her eyes immediately and took a step back.
That said, she curled the corners of her lips up subtly into a chilling smile. So what if she was told off? She had reached her goal of provoking the Taylors and evoking negative feelings toward Jeremy within them.
“It was me. I broke up with Jeremy.”
Alyssa was extremely harrowed. She felt even more exhausted and heartbroken to see her family members getting worked up over the matter between her and Jeremy.
“Don’t blame Jeremy. Our separation had nothing to do with him. He didn’t do anything wrong…”
With tears in her eyes, Mandy questioned, “Lyse, you were both doing alright. Why did this decision?”
*Just a month ago, in Kontina, Jameson took Ms. Alyssa hostage.” Justin was well aware that Alyssa was not in the mood to explain, so he explained on her behalf.
‘Hostage?” Winston and his wives were staggered.
“None of you have to worry. That crisis is long over. My younger brother saved Ms. Alyssa from Jameson’s hands.
As Justin said that, he exhaled heavily. “It was just a pity that during their confrontation, Jeremy fell into Jameson’s sinister trap. He consumed medications that damaged his brain and caused him to lose the ability to process emotions, so…”
“Stop talking!”
Alyssa’s eyes turned red with anger and became filled with tears. As she struggled to get up, Justin gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
He gazed deeply at her face, which had flushed red with agitation. He explained, “So, he decided to separate from Ms. Alyssa. After all, they aren’t married yet. They can still turn things back.
“Even though my younger brother is no longer in love with Ms. Alyssa, he’s still the pure and kind person that he is. Ms. Alyssa is still young. He didn’t want her to waste the rest of her life, so he made such a decision. This was the reason that they broke up.”
Alyssa stared fixedly at Justin’s calm-looking face, her emotions welling up even further.
Every word he said was true. Despite that, did he need to explain everything so cruelly in front of Winston at this very moment?
Having spent so much time together, Winston had already approved of Jeremy and treated him like his own son. How would he be able to take such a massive blow?
Mandy, Lyla, and Colene couldn’t accept this horrible news. They looked at one another as lumps formed in their throats.
“How’s Jeremy right now?” At the end of it, Winston held himself together. He even became concerned about Jeremy’s wellbeing.
It wasn’t just lip service. He sincerely treated him like a child of his own.
The look in Justin’s eyes dimmed. He smiled slightly. “Not to worry. He’s fine now.”
‘That’s good to know… That’s good to know…” Winston mumbled. His heartache grew as he looked at Alyssa.
However, what was Alyssa going to do?
Winston loved Alyssa the most. She was naturally someone who gave her all when it came to love. In this life, she had chosen Jeremy. She wouldn’t be able to get over this relationship. Yet, Jeremy was no longer in love with her. It was devastating for the person who remained, abandoned in the end.
Just then, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the room. “Mr. Walsh, it’s time for your checkup.
“Alright, I’ll head over now.”
Sheryl held onto the handle of Justin’s wheelchair with both hands while Justin excused himself politely.
He said to Winston, “Mr. Winston, I’m sure that you have a lot to talk about with Ms. Alyssa. I shall give you both some space. The medical standards at this hospital are quite high. Also, I’ve arranged for several surgeons to come by tomorrow. They’ll examine Ms. Alyssa first thing in the morning.
“If you can’t trust them, you may also transfer her to another hospital. I can help you connect with people. These aren’t things that you should worry about.”
Winston steadied his breathing. “Thank you.”
After Justin left, Winston sent his wives out of the hospital ward too. He wanted to speak with Alyssa one-on-one.
Where did that Ms. Gillis come from? She’s really getting on my nerves!”
Colene had a hand on her hip. She stomped her feet angrily. “It was only because Winston was here. Otherwise, I would’ve given her a slap in the face!
“I heard that she’s Mr. Justin’s private physician.” Mandy pulled out a handkerchief from her purse and wiped the tears from her eyes.
“Private physician?
Although Lyla was a quiet woman, she was very attentive and had a great memory. “I’ve heard from Ms. Thompson, the woman who looked after Tatiana, that she really loves doing manicures. However, due to her profession, she isn’t able to go for manicures.
“The doctors in their hospital don’t even paint their nails. Even so, that woman obviously kept her nails long. Even though it isn’t excessive, it’s still out of line.”
Mandy and Colene were too focused on being heartbroken and arguing that they hadn’t noticed this detail at all.
