"Mr. Benton! What's going on? Dad was fine earlier. Why is his condition flaring up?" Alyssa sat bythe couch. She held Winston's icy hands in hers. Her heart ached for him as a lump rose in herthroat.

"Lyse... I'm fine.” Winston saw that Alyssa had come. He lifted his spirits and smiled.

Alyssa's eyes reddened. She was extremely worried. "You're fine? Your face is even whiter than aSamoyed!"

Jasper, Neil, and Winston were speechless.

The tense atmosphere became a little lighter.

Alyssa questioned angrily, "Jamiper came by earlier? Was he the one who caused this?"

Winston and Neil stayed silent.

"Winston, just now, I noticed that Jameson was carrying a medicine box with him. Did he use themedication as a means to threaten you?" Jasper asked with a twinkle in his eye.

Neil blurted softly, "Yes, Mr. Jameson did bring the drug over. He also said that Mr. Taylor was onlyable to survive because of him. He came to strike a deal with Mr. Taylor. He promised Mr. Taylor thathe would be able to have access to the medication in the future, but only if Mr. Taylor agreed to hisproposal.

"Mr. Taylor was already feeling weak. Plus, he was provoked by someone like Mr. Jameson. Heended up like this because he reacted in fury. Fortunately, he took his medication on time. He hasstabilized now."

Alyssa probed, "What did Jameson propose?”

Winston gave Neil a sharp glare.

Thus, Neil gave a vague answer. "It was about business collaborations. The conditions he gaveweren't important. The important thing was that he was being imprudent. He was completelydisrespectful!”

"That son of a bitch received a golden collar and thinks that he deserves to be so proud! What ashameless beast!"

Alyssa gave Winston's hand a squeeze. "Dad, Jasper and I bumped into him earlier. He put on aninnocent look on his face and pretended to be nice to us.

"Don't be afraid. We will solve the issue with your medication. You don't have to listen to hisrubbish. If he could get his hands on the medication, so can we!"

Winston fixed his eyes on Alyssa. She looked cute when she was angry. No sickness or pain couldbother him now.

Indeed. For Lyse's sake, he would strive to live for a few more years.

Jasper exhaled deeply. He uttered, "Winston, Lyse. I have to make a call. I'll be back.”

Jameson and Carl were at the underground parking lot. Jameson was walking toward his car. He hada glum expression on his face.

"Mr. Schmidt, Winston is such a hypocrite, isn't he?"

Carl was behind Jameson. He insulted, "He got sick and is almost knocking at death's door. Eventhough he's already at this stage, he's still refusing to accept your kindness. Sooner or later, he willcome crying and begging you on his knees!"

"It's fine even if he doesn't beg me. I don't want to be a bully to an elderly man who already has onefoot in his grave.”

Jameson smirked and added, "Moreover, it doesn't make any difference whether or not he uses thisdrug. He will just end up suffering in a different way.”

"Jameson."

A deep and stern voice came from behind Jameson.

He stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Jasper was standing a few steps away from him. He looked elegant and proud. His eyes wereburning with rage. He was like an extremely handsome version of Hades.
