Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1572

Landon was so angry that he gnashed his teeth so hard that it hurt.

The death of his father was the greatest source of pain in his life. He would feel a pang of pain justhearing his father's name. But now, Cornelius was using Bill's death to attack him, all for the sake ofprotecting Zoe.

It was a disgrace to Bill.

"Do you know that your mother fainted on the spot when she heard that Zoe was admitted to theemergency room? Luckily, the servants were there to catch her in time. Otherwise, if she hadcollapsed and hit her head, you might have lost her."

Cornelius continued, "Landon, I know you're close with Jasper and Alyssa, but never forget that youare a member of the Harper family. You're about to become Harper Group's president—mySUCCESSOT.

"At this crucial moment, you should focus on managing the company's affairs. Other matters don'tneed your attention.”

Cornelius stared at Landon coldly. "I heard that you have already taken your girlfriend to propose tothe Beckett family privately and have met with the Becketts."

Landon's heart skipped a beat.

"You haven't arranged for me to meet Mr. Javier because you wanted to wait until the appointmentis official. By then, you'll have enough confidence to formally propose to the Beckett family.”

When Cornelius noticed the change in Landon's expression, he knew he had the upper hand. He satback leisurely in his chair.

"Mr. Javier is a man of high standards. He's renowned for being difficult to please in the businessworld of Solana City. If you want him to fully accept you as his son-in-law, you need to showsincerity. Don't you think so, Landon?"

In the hospital, Julien administered the medicine Jameson had sent to Winston right after he foundout it was safe.

The next morning, amidst the anxious prayers and anticipation, Winston gradually woke up andopened his eyes.

"Dad!" Alyssa couldn't contain her excitement and rushed to hug Winston tightly.

"Oh my... You're suffocating me. It seems that Jasper really feeds you well,” Winston teased weaklyas he patted Alyssa's back.

Inwardly, he was overjoyed. "I just came back from the brink of death. Are you trying to send meback?"

"Dad, don't say such things!"

The mix of relief and joy from their reunion made Alyssa hold Winston even tighter. Her eyes shonewith tears of happiness. "What brink of death? You were just asleep and woke up."

Winston sighed and smiled weakly. "Lyse, this is my body. How could I not know my condition?"I'm getting old... really old. Before, even if the sky fell, I thought I could bear it. But now, withoutanything happening, I've already fallen.”

Alyssa's eyes stung with pain, and she felt a lump in her throat.

"Lyse, thank you for taking care of me. I've frightened you, haven't 1?" Winston gently stroked herhair as he tearfully scanned his children.

"Dad, you're recovering quickly. There's nothing serious,” Jonah said with a forced smile as hewalked to the bedside.

Everyone nodded, pretending to be relaxed.

"Don't try to fool me.”

Winston chuckled. "Look at your three mothers. Their eyes are swollen, as though bees have stungthem. If you're going to pretend, at least make it believable. Your worries are written all over yourfaces."

Outside the ward, Jasper stood quietly at the door. He was just an outsider, after all. Beside himstood Axel, who exchanged awkward glances with Jasper.

After a long silence, Jasper finally spoke. "Axel, why don't you go in?"

"Why should I?" Axel crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow in response.
