“Jeremy?” Winston frowned.
“There is no one else but him.”
“Does that rascal have anything to do with Alyssa’s accident?”
Jameson adjusted his glasses slightly. His gaze turned gloomy.
“I know Alyssa went to see Jeremy the day she got into an accident. I don’t know what terrible things happened between them, but it must have troubled Alyssa deeply. She was distracted, and that was how she got into the accident. The car was totaled. Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt badly.”
“Jeremy … What is he after that he won’t leave my daughter alone?” Winston’s car door bore the brunt of his frustration as he bellowed.
“Oh, there is one more thing, Uncle Winston. But, I’m not sure if I should tell you.” Jameson wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
“Tell me! Tell me everything you know about what that rascal did to my daughter.” Winston glared at him with reddened eyes. He was livid.
Jameson blinked briefly. He lowered his voice and told Winston how Jeremy claimed Alyssa as his own to Winston. Alyssa was not conscious at that time. 1
Jameson was quick-witted. From the day Jeremy came to apologize to Alyssa, he keenly observed what Jeremy said and how Alyssa responded. Subsequently, he scrutinized their interactions, delving into the dynamics between them.
He had a pretty good hunch about what happened back then. It didn’t matter if he had a few pieces of missing information.
Whatever Jeremy couldn’t explicitly say, Jameson filled in the gap for him.
Winston listened attentively to everything Jameson said, maintaining silence throughout.
The car was filled with the sounds of deep, resentful inhales and exhales.
“Please calm down, Uncle Winston. You need to be mindful of your health.” Jameson’s face was filled with concern.
“That Walsh rascal… How could he humiliate my daughter?” Winston held his chest in agony. It felt like his heart was bleeding.
“Lyse may have experienced tragic events. However, those are in the past. I will take care and protect
Lyse from now on.”
Jameson looked at Winston with a passionate gaze. “I swear I will love Lyse only. To the best of my ability, I will ensure she is the happiest woman alive.
“Uncle Winston, my love for Lyse has nothing to do with you being her father, the Schmidt Group, or the
Taylor Group.
“It’s her unique qualities, personality, and the essence of who she is that I love. No other woman had ever been able to replace how important Lyse is to me. Not a single one.”
Shock painted Winston’s face. He stared at the sincere and dazzling pair of eyes, unable to move an inch.
In the past, Winston didn’t fancy Jameson or the Schmidts. He had never entered into marriage for business reasons. Consequently, he did not wish for Alyssa to marry someone she didn’t love and lead a life of unhappiness.
However, he could tell Jameson was serious about Alyssa. He had once been there before.
Besides, there was no way Jameson could fake the passion in his eyes when he talked about Alyssa.
Perhaps he shouldn’t let Alyssa do whatever she wanted.
She said she wanted to look for happiness. Yet, what did she find? She found a greedy scumbag who couldn’t even keep it in his pants./
“Jimmy.”
Winston rarely addressed him so affectionately. Yet, his eyes looked dead serious. “You know what is up with my daughter. She had once loved Jeremy with all her heart and soul. She gave
“She might take a very long time, and she might never heal the hurt in her heart bat man.
Lyse is my daughter. I know her like the back of my hand.
“You might be able to persist for a year or two. But can you do it for ten years, even twenty? Can you accept her while she’s like this? Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“I know she still thinks about Jeremy, but I don’t care.”
Tears welled in Jameson’s eyes. His gaze was resolute and sincere. It was a painful sight to see. “I want to make Lyse my wife, no matter what happens to her. I don’t care. I can only have Alyssa as my wife and no one else.”
Winston frowned deeply. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved.
“Uncle Winston, I want you to give me a chance. Please give me your blessing.”
When Winston arrived at the hospital, Alyssa was sound asleep.
He kept everything he wanted to say to his daughter throughout the journey. As he looked at her sunken cheeks and pale face, whatever he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. He couldn’t utter a word. All he wanted to do was to keep her company and care for her quietly.
What else could he say?
He couldn’t turn back time to change what had happened. Saying too much would only hurt her more.
It was still early in the morning when Jonah and Silas walked in together.
“Go back and rest, Dad. Alyssa is getting discharged tomorrow. We will send her home,” Jonah said lightly.
“I’m not tired.” Winston was indifferent. He was holding a grudge.
“It’s our fault, Dad. We shouldn’t have kept this from you.”
Silas sighed glumly. “But we were concerned about your health. Plus, you have so many sons. We’re trained to help share your burden in a time like this. Don’t worry. We will deal with Alyssa’s situation.”
“Can you even handle it? Haha! If you had dealt with it correctly, Alyssa wouldn’t be lying here suffering undeserving punishment,” Winston scoffed.
The glint in Jonah’s eyes darkened. He was rendered speechless.
Silas pursed his lips. He always had a way with words but had nothing to say now.
“Jonah, come with me. I want to talk to you.” Winston straightened his stiff back as he got up. He felt a tingling pain after sitting too long.
“Yes, Dad.”
Jonah came to help his father quickly. Then, both of them left the ward.
They arrived at the lounge.
“What did you say?” Jonah was dumbfounded. He narrowed his eyes as he questioned, “You want Lyse to be with Jameson? Why?”
“I think the best way to get Lyse to walk out of the trauma Jeremy had caused her is to have her start a new relationship. She should be with someone who cherishes her.”
Winston’s eyes darkened. He had made up his mind. “Anyone could tell how head over heels Jameson is for Lyse. Plus, our families are a perfect match.
“I’ve watched this kid grow up, so I know him like the back of my hand. I thought I could cut some slack and let them try it out. Maybe he could heal the hurt Lyse is carrying. Lyse shouldn’t bask in her misery anymore. She should have a fresh start.”
“You know him like the back of your hand? Do you think you know Jameson that well?”
Jonah panicked. His tone turned serious. “Jameson didn’t exactly have his hands clean during his time in Kont¨ªna. Some of his businesses were off the books. Are you sure you will be okay allowing Lyse to be associated with someone like him?”
“That was in Kontina, not here. Plus, if he truly cared for Lyse and they could succeed, I don’t mind cleaning his businesses up.”
“Dad, how could you…
Jonah was so furious that he choked on his words. “Why are you acting this way? L
“And is she happy now if I don’t do it?”
Winston got up abruptly. He was so consumed with anger that his eyes reddened. He snarled, “I didn’t even interfere when she joined the Doctors Without Borders. I gave her the freedom to do whatever she wanted. But was she happy?
“Her marriage has fallen apart, and she’s faced both loss and physical torment. Now, Jeremy’s mistreatment adds to her pain! Is my daughter condemned to a lonely existence? Is she so undesirable that nobody wishes to be with her?”
Jonah widened his eyes in shock.
He could tell Winston knew everything about Alyssa and Jeremy that was kept secret.
However, he was the only one who knew other than Alyssa and Jeremy. He had never let loose a word to his father. How did his father know about this?
Who tattled to him?
