Alyssa’s gaze was as cold as ice, and a ball of anger rose within her instantly.
Alyssa had already suffocated enough that day, and feeling half-dead from all the walking, who would have expected that she would bump into four jerks like that!
One of the men couldn’t refrain himself anymore. He reached out with his perverted hands toward her full bosoms.
To his surprise, Alyssa reacted speedily. She grabbed his arm and twisted it to the back!
Immediately after, she kicked him behind his knee, forcing him to fall to his knees in front of her. The man yelled in pain, “Ah! It hurts! It fucking hurts!”
“Didn’t you want to get smacked? I’m up for it!”
A crack sounded, and Alyssa had broken the man’s arm. Her glistening pupils narrowed as she shouted back, “I will make sure that you’re all done for!”
This time, Newton ended up in the hospital because of a stroke due to his chronic illness. It was fortunate that Ben had found him in time. That was why he didn’t end up in a critical situation.
Due to the matter with Alyssa, Newton had been losing sleep, and he hadn’t had much appetite these few days He looked haggard and downcast
J _. _ ¡ö ¡ª 3/ – ¡ª –
The incident happened so suddenly. Plus, Javier wasn’t in Solana City. So, the ones who stayed by
Newton’s side were only Jeremy and Ben.
Jeremy held a bowl in his hand. He scooped up some of the chicken soup and blew on it. Then, he held out the spoon to Newton’s mouth.
Newton had no appetite at all. He noticed Jeremy’s bruised face and dejectedness and already had a rough guess of what had gone down.
Although his heart ached for Jeremy, he maintained a frigid tone. “How the hell did you end up like this?
You went to see Alyssa?”
Jeremy felt a lump in his throat. “Yeah.”
“Her brothers beat you up?”
Jeremy pursed his thin lips. He couldn’t bring himself to answer.
Newton understood Jeremy. At a glance, he could already tell what was on his mind. His eye twitched.
“Don’t tell me that you were hit by your ex-father-in-law?”
Jeremy stayed silent. His silence was a confirmation to Newton.
“That serves you right! I would have broken both your legs if I were Winston! You should be grateful that he had shown you mercy, allowing you to return in one piece!” Newton exclaimed. He was not on
Jeremy’s side this time.
“Grandpa…” Jeremy looked up slowly. Through his thin lips, he mumbled bitterly, “Please tell me what I should do. What do I do to have Lyse back by my side?”
Newton shook his head helplessly. “You aren’t the only one who had wronged Alyssa, my dear. Even I don’t know how to face her in the future.
“She is such a good kid. If she hadn’t married into our family, she could have had a liberating and carefree life. We are the ones who ruined her life.”
A deafening silence fell upon the hospital ward.
“If there’s no other way, then just stop thinking of one. You’ll just have to make it up to her slowly with your sincerity.”
Newton rested his wrinkly hand on Jeremy’s shoulder. In a heavy tone, he continued, “From now on,
Jeremy, stop thinking about how you can get her back. What you need to think of is how you will watch over her.”
Jeremy lowered his head in sorrow. He tried hard to hold his tears back.
“I don’t want to let go, Grandpa. But I know that I am really not good enough for her.”
Right as he said that, his cell phone began vibrating in his chest pocket.
Jeremy stared at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen. He was stunned for a moment. Not many people knew his personal number.
Under ordinary circumstances, if unknown individuals had dialed his number by mistake, he would never have answered their calls.
However, for some strange reason, his heart was racing this time. He couldn’t restrain himself.
Jeremy selected the option to answer the call and raised his phone to his ear. “Who’s this?”
On the other end of the call, the winds and rain made it sound extremely noisy.
“May I know who’s calling?”
Typically, Jeremy would have hung up a long time ago. But this was an exceptional time when he actually went along with it. He waited for a response from the other end.
“Jeremy, it’s me^”
He heard Alyssa’s weak, soft voice choppily from the other end. The gusts of strong winds disrupted the sound of her voice. Yet, he felt like a sharp sword had just stabbed right through his chest!
“Lyse?”
Jeremy’s eyes beamed with surprise. He stood up instantly. Every breath he took trembled with excitement. He couldn’t believe that he could still hear from her.
“Jeremy, I want to see you. I’m really tired…” Alyssa’s voice drifted away gradually until it was barely audible.
Jeremy’s eyes turned red in a flash. Waves of inexplicable pain tossed in his heart. “Where are you,
Lyse? I’ll go to you now!”
“I. I don’t know where I am.”
Alyssa couldn’t hold it in anymore. She began to weep softly. “I’ve been walking for such a long time. I can’t walk anymore. My head is spinning. I just want to sleep.”
“Lyse! Don’t sleep! Listen to me¡ªdon’t fall asleep!”
Jeremy’s frantic heart tightened. “Don’t hang up. I’ll get your coordinates immediately! I’ll go to you now!”
Newton overheard the conversation by the side. His expression was tense, and he became extremely worried, too.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I.”
“No need to explain, Jeremy.” Newton waved his hand, urging, “Go on! Nothing is more important than finding Alyssa right now!”
Jeremy gripped his cell phone tight and dashed out of the hospital ward.
“You must find Alyssa! You have to protect her!” Newton shouted from behind him.
Jeremy stopped briefly and responded with a firm nod.
Jeremy drove the car in person. Along with Xavier, he sped through the rain toward Belbanks.
At the same time, he had gathered some people promptly. More than ten black cars followed Jeremy’s lead. They struggled to keep up with Jeremy even though they drove 180 miles per hour.
To them, it seemed like Jeremy was flying a plane rather than driving a car!
Rainy days meant that the roads were slippery and visibility was low. Jeremy was basically putting his life on the line by driving at this speed!
Xavier clung onto the car’s grab handle with his life. Fear had drained all the blood from his face. He felt like his heart was in his mouth!
“Mr. Walsh! Please… please calm down! I know that it’s urgent to locate Madam. Even so, you need to watch out for your safety too!”
“Lyse’s circumstances aren’t great. She could be in danger at any moment!”
Jeremy’s eyes were bloodshot. His shoulders, although covered by his suit, were shaking uncontrollably from the terror that he was feeling.
“Every second I’m late means that Lyse is in an even more dangerous position! How could I possibly calm down?”
Xavier didn’t dare to say anything else. He simply shut his eyes tight and said a prayer.
“Are you still getting the signal on Alyssa’s location?” Jeremy’s voice was hoarse. It was as if his throat had been scalded. His forehead was dripping with sweat.
