Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2336

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move.

Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him.

"What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional.

"Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her."

Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?"

"Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman.

"I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all to save you."

Sheryl sounded like she was starting to get emotional. She was even starting to get on edge on Jasper's behalf, influencing him to feel the same.

Jasper's chest tightened, and he closed his eyes tightly.

When he went to Mosgravia to visit Justin in the past, he found out that Sheryl also worked with Doctors Without Borders in Luminara.

Truthfully, he did think of asking her to find out about White Dove. Nonetheless, he figured that it would be rude to make such a request during their first meeting.

He couldn't understand why Sheryl would lend him a hand with his search for White Dove.

Yet, he was well aware that this clue was difficult to come by. He did not want to miss out on it.

"Do you really have news on her whereabouts? Where is she? Is she in Solana City?" As much as Jasper lowered his voice, he could not hide the desperation in his voice.

"No, she's in Skydon City. I have just arrived at Skydon City's airport, but I have sent people to search for her exact location."

Sheryl's voice was urgent yet helpless. "That being said, I have never seen her, so I don't know what she looks like. I just had a feeling that the information on this person closely matches that woman's.

"Also, even if I recognized her, what reason do I have to stop her? I might just scare her if I do. That'd be really rude of me.

"So, Mr. Jasper, I think it'll be better for you to come to Skydon City personally. Don't miss out on this opportunity. We don't know when you'll get a chance like this next."

Skydon City wasn't particularly near Solana City. Even if he went over via a private plane, he would need three hours.

If he went over, he would miss his appointment with Alyssa today.

Jasper pressed his lips tightly together and lifted his well-defined wrist.

As seconds and minutes passed, it was getting closer to the hour when he agreed to meet with Alyssa.

He knitted his brows together tightly. He had a dull gleam in his eyes as he hesitated.

He was never someone who went back on his word or broke his promises.

Nevertheless, this was not a trivial matter.

They could always reschedule the hike, but if he missed out on White Dove, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

"Send me your coordinates. I'll head over to Skydon City now."

Upon saying that, Jasper ended the call. Then, he instructed Xavier, who had frozen stiff behind him, "Get the plane ready. We're going to Skydon City right now."

Aghast, Xavier asked, "Right now?"

In a deep voice, Jasper confirmed, "Yes, right now."

"Didn't you and Madam agree to go hiking? What is Madam going to do if you're bailing on her?" Xavier was mad and anxious at the same time, so much so that he blurted the address "Madam" twice.

Jasper balled his hands into fists. The veins on the back of his hands started popping.

He took his phone out and dialed Alyssa's number. But her phone was engaged.

He made two more attempts to call her but received the same response. In the end, he sent her a text that read, Ms. Alyssa, I'm unable to make it today due to some sudden matters. I'm really sorry. I will make it up to you after I'm back.'

After sending his message, he strutted out the door without further hesitation.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At 3:00 pm sharp, the clear skies had slowly become a dull gray color. It started snowing.

Yet, Jasper had not shown up.

At first, Alyssa was extremely worried about the slippery, snowy roads. Could it be that Jasper met with some accident on the way, which then caused him to be delayed?

She wanted to call him, but to her surprise, she had no reception. The mobile signal in this mountainous area was not stable at all.

Half an hour went by...

An hour went by...

Even after being in the freezing cold, Alyssa continued hoping that Jasper would show up. Yet, she did not see even the shadow of this tall and charming man.

No one knew Jasper better than she did. He wasn't someone who would stand someone up.

He would never be late when he met with his clients and friends, let alone her. He might show up early, but he would never be a no-show for no reason.

Even if he met with an accident on the way, he would make his way to see her even if it meant that he had to crawl his way here. Why wasn't he showing up?
