He closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. “I am only making amends for wronging her in the last three years.”"With your life?”“Well, I can't make amends with money, can I? Do you realize how wealthy her family is?" Jasper's temper flared.Landon scratched his head. Right, Alyssa could afford anything with her wealth.Jaspers thoughts drifted to the memory of her pale face in his arms, which only intensified his heartache.He wondered if she was awake now and if her fever had subsided. He also couldn't help but worry if she suffered any fractures from hanging onto the cliff.She was all he could think about.Taking a deep breath, he clutched his bedsheet tightly as if trying to kill a budding urge.Had he truly fallen for her? 2His heart raced at the thought of it.

Answer me!” Though she appeared emotionless, she silently observed his pale expression, which only fueled her anger.Her irritation grew as she scolded him, “What's your plan? Keeping your injuries hidden from me andavoiding me physically? Is this your way of grabbing my attention?”Landon was caught off guard by Alyssa’s domineering air. On the other hand, Jasper looked like a disgruntled spouse as he weakly sat on the bed and shot a begrudging look at Alyssa.Once the idea crossed Landon’s mind, he suddenly saw the situation in a comical light.
