As the call connected, Jameson sat upright in anticipation.

Sir."

"Mr. Schmidt, isn't it late at night in your time zone? Haven't you slept yet?" The person whoanswered the phone was Sheryl.

Jameson's heart skipped a beat. He said in surprise, "Ms. Gillis?"

"It's morning in Mosgravia now. Sir is visiting the Jesseltons and can't take your call now."

Sheryl's tone carried a hint of contempt as she said, "If you have something to say, you can tell me,and I'll convey it to him."

Frowning, Jameson clenched his fist.

He had been working with that man for so many years and devoted himself tirelessly, but he still feltan emptiness in his heart. He felt that there was an invisible barrier between them. He even doubtedwhether the man truly regarded him as a confidant.

And yet, this Sheryl woman, who had only recently joined the man's side, had gained such greattrust from him, even being allowed to answer his calls.

Could someone as wise and mighty as him have a weakness for women?

"Mr. Schmidt, if this is nothing urgent, I must return to sir's side.” Sheryl showed no patience forJameson.

"I've delivered the medicine sir gave me to Lyse. She accepted it."

"Oh, that's good. Congratulations, Mr. Schmidt. She finally accepted your kindness for once.” Sherylchuckled sarcastically.

Jameson hesitated for a moment. "The medicine won't cause any issues, right?"

"Haha! Mr. Schmidt, are you suspecting that sir will ruin your relationship?”

Sheryl's mockery became more pronounced. "Do you think he has that much time on his hands?And if it weren't for him intervening several times at your request, Alyssa would have reconciledwith Jasper long ago and perhaps even have had children by now.

"You would have lost your chance long ago. Oh, I forgot. Alyssa's uterus is already useless. Jasperhas ruined her. She can't have children anymore. Haha..."

Jameson's clenched fist trembled uncontrollably. "Ms. Gillis, please watch your words. Lyse is thewoman I love, and she has never offended you."

"How do you know she hasn't offended me?" Sheryl's voice suddenly turned deep.

"What?"

"Haha! Just kidding. The medicine is suitable for Winston's symptoms. Even LovelacePharmaceuticals’ medicines aren't as effective as the one sir gave you. You can rest assured. Once herecovers, the Taylors will all thank you.

"Alyssa is the type who responds better to kindness than force. Saving her father is a great favor.Her attitude toward you will surely change.” Without waiting for a reply, Sheryl coldly hung up.Jameson's pale face turned dark, and a bead of crimson blood seeped from his bitten lower lip.

In the blink of an eye, it was already morning.

Upon learning the truth, none of the Taylors dared to sleep. They all anxiously waited outside theward. Their eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, and they were all dejected.

Lyla, Colene, and Tatiana brought a lot of breakfast and rushed to the hospital, but no one had anyappetite. They sat silently, waiting for news.

Alyssa sat in a chair with Jasper's oversized suit draped over her. She had been sitting motionless forhours, not even bending once.

Jasper had messaged Xavier and Landon, asking them to come up with a solution. After all, it was amatter of great importance. He couldn't entrust it to anyone he didn't trust, fearing leaks.

For now, all he could do was accompany Alyssa. He held her ice-cold hand tightly in his.
