Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2227

Jameson was arrested on the spot by the Kontinian authorities. They also found massive amounts of drugs and firearms on Rose Island.

At the same time, that beautiful rose garden was proven by the relevant authorities to have been used for planting poppies in the past.

The news of Jameson's arrest spread like wildfire throughout Kontina. Cyrris also caught wind of this news, which made headlines and became a trending topic.

The media was flooded with comments from Kontinian citizens, all echoing the same sentiment-overjoyed and relieved. It was as if Christmas had come early.

The evil influence of the Schmidt Group had once seemed like an impenetrable web, shadowing all of Kontina's skies.

Jameson had maintained the guise of a charitable businessman, but countless people had suffered under his power, oppression, and violations.

It was just that no one had dared speak out before, harboring their resentment in silence.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Now, with this cancerous blight finally being cut out, the people's long-held wishes had come true. The dark clouds over Kontina began to clear, revealing bright skies once more.

Though Jameson had long been a Kontinian citizen and should have faced justice there, Jeremy, as president of Kontina, made an exceptional decision, allowing him to be extradited to his home country, where he would face prosecution and sentencing.

The fight against such evil was bloody and fraught with danger, but Jameson's empire had finally fallen, and justice had prevailed.

However, a heavy fog still hung over the Taylors. There was no sense of victory in their faces. Despite combing Rose Island, Alyssa remained missing. Meanwhile, Jasper, gravely injured, had been lying unconscious in the ICU for 48 hours.

As the men of the Taylor family continued the search for Alyssa, Jonah, Jeremy, Miley, and Amber kept vigil outside the hospital ward. Even Landon, who had been abroad, rushed back to watch over Jasper.

Worried that Lauren might be overwhelmed with the news of Jasper's condition, Landon had kept her in the dark. He accompanied her back to Cyrris and left Jordan to stay with her, only then returning to Kontina.

'Jameson's been arrested, and I had to find out from the news!" Landon fumed, his shoulders trembling with anger, eyes bloodshot. "Do none of you see me as your friend? How could you keep this from me at such a crucial time? Just because I got married doesn't mean I'm dead! You're all treating me unfairly!"

Everyone looked at him, speechless. If this had been good news, maybe they could understand his frustration. But with Jasper's life hanging in the balance, they hadn't told Landon out of concern for him and Lauren.

Landon, however, seemed to feel left out, as if he had missed out on something significant.

His thoughts were bizarre indeed.

"Sorry, Landon," Jonah said, stepping forward. The dark circles under his eyes spoke of sleepless nights. "But everything happened so fast. We didn't have the time to inform you. Jasper is unconscious, Lyse is missing, and

we-

"You don't need to explain, Jonah. I get it." Landon's voice cracked, his eyes filling with tears. "I just feel terrible for not being here to help when you all needed me most."

"We understand," Jonah said, pulling Landon, who was like a brother to him, into a hug.

At that moment, the clinical professors attending to Jasper stepped out of the ward, and everyone rushed toward

them. Jonah spoke anxiously, "How is he?"

The lead professor hesitated. "Rather than saying the situation looks bad, it's... strange."

Everyone was flabbergasted. "Strange?"

"We conducted a full body check. His organs show signs of reacting to stimulants, but there's no evidence of poisoning. We examined his brain and found that the issue is there."

Landon, impatient, snapped, "Could you just get to the point?"

"We suspect Mr. Beckett's brain has suffered a severe blow, but we can't figure out why he's still unconscious."

Their hopes were dashed. Furious, Landon punched the wall in frustration.

"We're not neurology experts," the professor continued. "You'll need to bring in a neurologist to treat Mr. Beckett. We're sorry, Mr. and Madam President."

The other clinical professors bowed deeply to express their regrets.

Jeremy, holding Miley close, reassured her. "At least we know where the problem lies. That's a step forward." "Julien!" Jonah was immediately reminded of his lover at the mention of a neurologist. His eyes lit up with hope." I'll get Julien to come to Kontina immediately to treat Jasper. He's a specialist in this field!"

Just then, Jonah's phone rang. It was Axel calling. He answered, putting the call on speaker so everyone could hear.

"How did it go, Axel?"

"Jonah, we found her!"

Axel was so agitated that his voice quivered so much. He choked back on his tears and said, "Lyse.... We found Lyse!"
