Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2189

*Jeremy and Miley have considered that possibility and blocked off Kontina's customs. Jameson is also a wanted criminal who is jointly pursued by two countries. There's no way he can leave Kontina."

Jasper placed the brooch on his chest. He forced himself to hold back the immense hurt and make a rational judgment.

"He's definitely hiding in Kontina. He's accustomed to luxury and power, and his pride won't let him live like a fugitive. He'll stay where he's familiar and where resources are useful."

Cyrus was impressed. He almost wanted to applaud Jasper but knew it wasn't the right time.

Despite his acute headaches, Jasper remained sharp, making sound judgments. Those around him couldn't help but feel for him.

*Jasper's analysis is spot-on but presents a huge problem.

The look on Jonah's face was grim and drawn. "At the end of it all, all Jameson wants is Lyse. Now that he's achieved his goal, he might devise a heinous strategy to constrain Lyse physically and hide her away for good. He could force her to submit, even if she'd rather die. With them together now, he has all the time to make her his..." A low groan echoed as Jasper clutched his head. He fell to his knees as pain wracked his body.

*Jonah, now is not the time to get him worked up!" Cyrus' heart ached as he put his arms around Jasper.

"I'm just stating what's likely. We have to be prepared for the worst." Jonah, usually gentle, was emotionless in the face of harsh truths. "Kontina is vast, with forests and almost 100 islands. If Jameson hides, it could take a long time to find him. Anything could happen by then. It's unavoidable.

"But the good news is that Lyse will most certainly be safe. Jameson only wants her. He will not harm her. I truly believe in this."

Jasper's body trembled. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that with Lyse's strong personality, she won't submit to him. She might take it too hard.."

"Absolutely not!" Jonah and Cyrus exclaimed in unison. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

'Jasper, we've grown up with Lyse. She'd never give up on herself," Cyrus said firmly, his eyes unwavering. "No matter how bad things get, as long as she's breathing, she'll hold on. We will find her, Jasper!"

'But Jasper, if... and I'm just saying if, if Jameson ends up..." Jonah turned his face away in extreme pain. His own cruel imagination hurt him.

"I'll still want her." Jasper, pale and tear-streaked, lifted his face. "No matter what happens or what she's been through, Lyse will always be my wife. I'll stay by her side until I die. I will never give up on her.

The sea breeze stirred silver waves around Rose Island, quiet and desolate.

An uncertain amount of time had passed before the effects of the tranquilizer had worn off a little. Only then did Alyssa lift her heavy eyelids and come to slowly.

Even so, her body still felt weak. She couldn't exert any energy at all. She could only lay in bed, curl her fingers, and wiggle her nose slightly.

"Lyse, you're awake?"

The familiar, tender voice made her heart skip. Cold sweat broke out across her skin.

"Ja-'Alyssa tried to sit up but couldn't even do so despite mustering up all her strength.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

All of a sudden, her body was lifted-Jameson wrapped his muscular arm around her waist, pulling her against his chest.
