Chapter 1562
Alyssa exclaimed, "He even went through a critical stage. How could I not panic?”
Alyssa broke out in a cold sweat that made her back damp. She felt numb. "Why didn't you call meat that time? Dad went through something like that... I'm his daughter. How could I not be by hisside?"
Jasper saw that her eyes had filled with tears. He felt as if his heart was being crushed. Immediately,he took her shaking hand and gave it a tight squeeze.
Under usual circumstances, she would playfully tease Winston, occasionally displaying indifferencetowards him. But in times like these, her genuine anxiety for her father was clear. Jasper fullyunderstood where she was coming from.
Jonah looked into Alyssa's eyes. He sighed helplessly. "It was Dad who made us keep it from you."Alyssa felt a sharp pain in her heart. "Dad..."
"When Dad was having the stroke, he instructed Mr. Benton not to inform us, especially you."Jonah tried his best to speak in a neutral tone. "Dad knows that you've been busy and tired. Hedidn't want you to go through trouble after trouble. It would only make you feel disconcerted.”
A father's love was as steadfast as a mountain—solitary, formidable, and covert.
He didn't want his children to worry for him. So, it didn't matter if the suffering was too much. Hewas determined to grit his teeth and endure the pain
A ball of fury rose within Alyssa. Her voice became hoarse. "Mrs. Rosie, please pack my things. I willmake my way to Belbanks now."
"Got it, madam,” Rosie answered immediately.
Jasper put his arm around Alyssa's shoulder. He frowned and said, "Mrs. Rosie, pack some of myclothes too. I'll be going with Lyse."
Alyssa met his concerned gaze. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid we won't beable to go to Swizo for our vacation."
"That's alright. Winston's health is more important. We can always go another time.” Jasper cuppedher face.
"Also..."
Jonah paused. His eyes turned dim. "Jameson is back.”
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became tense. The sound of his name was equivalentto hearing words like "jinx" or "the plague”.
"His private plane just landed at Solana City International Airport this afternoon.”
The look in Jasper's eyes was cold. "Jonah, where did Jameson return from?"
Jonah replied, "Mosgravia."
Alyssa was shocked. She rubbed her chin with her fingers.
"Jamiper didn't go to Kontina or Tsulu, where he's more familiar. What did he go to Mosgravia for?Is that country a suitable place for his mother to recuperate? I've also never heard about him havingany business over there."
Jasper's face turned glum at the mention of recuperation. He was suddenly reminded of Justin.
An inexplicable feeling of doubt started to grow within him. He kept getting the nagging feelingthat something was amiss.
Jonah elaborated, "Mosgravia has medical standards and medical facilities that are more advanced.Moreover, I heard that there is a medical center that has been set up specially for Parkinson'sdisease and Alzheimer's. I'm guessing that Jameson went over there because of his mother's illness."Alyssa jeered. "I hope that's the case. All's good as long as he's not hatching another evil plan.”They headed toward Belbanks with Sean behind the wheel.
Along the way, Alyssa was clenching her hands tightly. She was unable to feel at ease.
"Don't worry. You can have confidence in Julien's medical skills. Winston will be able to regain hishealth.” Jasper caressed her back gently. His heart ached for her.
Jonah, who was seated across from them, nodded slightly. He agreed with Jasper's words.
"Jonah, about Dad... Why did he suddenly have a stroke?"
Alyssa posed the question in a low voice, "Was there something that triggered him? Or did hebecome overly agitated? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so serious.”
Jonah pursed his lips as he tried to replace the right words.
Just then, Sean interrupted angrily, "It was all because of that fool, Mr. Dominic!"
