Jasper had not let go of his hatred for Sophia, nor had he become indifferent to the pain his motherhad suffered. However, if he dwelled on the hatred, it would not only cause him to sink into miserybut also make those around him unhappy.

Alyssa nodded in agreement, sighing. "Landon, I know you and Jasper are like brothers, but youhave Lauren now. You two are a family. Can you put her first next time? Don't always think about myman."

Jasper and Landon were both speechless at her words.

"Also, don't think that Lauren wanting to see Sophia is a betrayal to us. She just wants to see Sophiaone last time. This actually shows her pure heart and kindness. If Lauren were as resentful as Betty,wishing to deny her own origins, then you should be afraid."

Considering Lauren's unstable condition, Alyssa decided not to return that night, even if it meantnot sleeping to take care of her.

Since she wasn't leaving, Jasper naturally had to stay with her.

Knowing Alyssa's high requirements for sleep, Jasper called Xavier and asked him to bring over herpajamas, skincare products, and aromatherapy oils, even if it was just a one-night stay. He wantedto set up the bedroom for her to ensure she could sleep peacefully.

At night, Alyssa went to replace Angelina to inquire about Lauren's condition.

On the other hand, Jasper called Landon to the dining room and opened a bottle of red wine toease his mood.

However, Landon, who usually loved drinking, had a dark expression and showed no interest indrinking.

"Landon, I've been thinking. After Lauren wakes up, how about letting her stay with Lyse for a fewdays?" Jasper looked at Landon seriously.

Upon hearing that, Landon was taken aback. He slammed the table. "Jasper, what have I done tomake you distrust me? You want to take Lauren away from me?"

Jasper frowned. "I'm not taking her away. It's just that Lauren's condition is unstable. Staying withLyse for a few days might help ease her mood.”

"Are you all so worried about me being with her? Am I not worthy of your trust?"

After a pause, Jasper replied, "To be honest, given what happened today, you really didn't inspiremuch confidence in us."

"Fuck!" Landon's eyes turned red. He almost wished he could smash the bottle in frustration."You've never been an emotionally stable person, Landon. Being with Lauren, you've been changingand trying to control yourself. But character is something that flows in your blood. You're almost 30.How could you possibly change?”

Lowering his eyes, Jasper suddenly said something almost unacceptable to Landon. "Landon, I knowyou love Lauren, but if this relationship is causing you a lot of pain, then I think it's time for you toreconsider. It's not too late."

Landon's temples throbbed. "What... did you say?"

"But if after the honeymoon phase, you can't bear it anymore and want to withdraw or even neglectLauren, Lyse and I won't let you off. I'll turn the Harper family upside down for my only sister.”
