Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2256

Initially, Julien had suppressed his emotions the best he could. Yet, the moment he heard Jonah's rich-sounding voice, he broke down.

"I can't take it anymore... I feel really bad for Lyse!"

"Don't cry, my love."

Jonah quickly comforted Julien in a warm, slightly throaty voice, "I know you care for Lyse. So do we. Don't worry. She had acute bleeding in her stomach, but she's already awake now.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

*According to the doctor, it was caused by her irregular eating habits on top of being too heartbroken and consuming too much alcohol. Moreover, Lyse already suffers from gastritis. It's a condition that she developed as a result of having irregular meals when she used to work as a medic on the battlefield."

Julien was astounded. "Lyse... has been on the battlefield?"

*She was with Doctors Without Borders at Luminara that year when they were at war. She saved a good number of citizens and soldiers from the Peacekeeping Forces." Jonah's voice contained heartache and an inexplicable feeling of pride when he mentioned these.

"Oh my god... How is it that you Taylors have such big hearts? Luminara's political situation was unstable. Not only was there war, there were also a number of terrorists wreaking havoc. As a woman, Lyse went to such a faraway place and dove into dire straits every day. How was it that all of you could bear to see her do that?"

Jonah stayed silent for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and answered in a shaky voice, "We couldn't bear to see her there either. But she was so fixed on pursuing Jasper that she wanted to follow him wherever he went. None of us were able to stop her."

Julien was mind-blown. He exclaimed in shock, "Lyse... went to do such dangerous work because of Jasper?"

"Jasper used to be a soldier with the Peacekeeping Forces. He was once dispatched to Luminara for an important mission." Jonah's voice tensed up. "Lyse only applied to go to Luminara so that she could see him. She almost didn't make it back...

*Jasper doesn't deserve her... That brat doesn't deserve Lyse's love at all!"

Julien's captivating, sharp eyes turned red with anger. He slammed his fist onto the railing on the balcony.

*After he regained consciousness, he's become an absolute asshole! I happened to bump into him being all lovey- dovey with that Dr. Gillis, the female doctor who hangs around Mr. Justin. I gave that brat a slap and scolded him for being a jerk. Then, he actually told me that he and Lyse have gone their separate ways!"

As Julien said that, tears started streaming down his face again. He choked with even more emotion, "Jonah, truth be told... With the way Jasper is acting right now, I'd very much rather have him dead!"

*Julien...

"Lyse could only watch as he distanced himself from her even though he was just right before her eyes. She even has to bear with him getting close to other women.

*Jonah, who in the world is able to bear with that feeling of falling from heaven to the depths of hell? I really regret saving him. I should've drugged him and made him comatose at the very beginning. That'll be a million times better than the current situation!"

"Julien, don't forget that Jasper only turned out like this because of Lyse.' Jonah's breathing became heavier. 'It all depends on their fate. If they're still meant to be together, Jasper will surely find his love for Lyse again.

"If this is where it ends, this outcome might turn out to be for the best. All are good as long as they are alive and well."

Julien pulled a handkerchief out and wiped his tears. "When I'm done with work... I'll visit Lyse at the hospital."

'No worries. It's fine if you're only able to make it another day. Lyse is still weak and needs to rest properly anyway."

*Jonah, it's your birthday the day after tomorrow."

Julien sniffled. A blissful smile came across his face as he looked at the wedding ring on his ring finger. "You know me. Unlike you, I'm not always able to come up with unique surprises. Just tell me what you want..."

Jonah chuckled softly. It was as if he could feel his fervent breath even through the phone call. He replied, "In that case, don't work overtime the day after tomorrow."

Julien blinked. "That's all?"

In a deep and gruff voice, Jonah elaborated, "Then, clean yourself up and wait for me."

'Fuck, I knew it! You're a bastard!" Julien cussed. At the same time, he blushed. He had already lost his heart to Jonah.

The skies lit up with a bright red glow as the sun set.
