Jonah immediately rushed forward to support Remy. At the same time, Alyssa
leaped out of bed, but since she hadn''t fully recovered, the sudden movement made her lightheaded and caused her to stagger.
Suddenly, she felt a strong, steady arm wrap around her supple waist as Jasper''s warm, reassuring presence surrounded her.
"Be careful."
Almost instinctively, Jasper tightened his arms and pulled her closer.
A single tear rolled down Alyssa''s cheek as she leaned against his chest and wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist.
She had decided to go all in. Even if the world were to end the next moment, she wanted to hold him close. He was Jasper Beckett-the person she loved the most.
"W-Whenever I-I try to think about the past... even for a moment... I get struck by an agonizing headache."
Though Remy felt slightly better after drinking some warm water, he still trembled from the pain. "All these years, whenever my headaches hit... Justin would give me a medication he imed could cure them.
"The strange thing is, my headaches would ease up every time after I took it. Now that so many years have passed, I can barely live without it. And whenever the headachese..... fragments of unfamiliar memories appear in my mind.
"But once the medication takes effect, those fragments disappearpletely."
Alyssa''s heart clenched painfully. She pulled away from Jasper and rushed toward Damien with tears streaming down her face, throwing her arms around him. "Damien... Don''t be afraid. I''ll find a way to treat your headaches. I''m sure we can cure it!"
"Damien''s condition is the same as Jasper''s."
Jonah''s heart sank, his chest tightening painfully. "The medication Justin gave him wasn''t a headache medicine at all. It''s an extremely addictive drug that affects the cranial nerves.
"Recovering memories naturallyes with intense psychological reactions. But Justin used the drug to suppress Damien''s brain function, preventing him from regaining his memories."
Alyssa''s eyes zed with fury. "That damned bastard!"
Yet Justin never expected that Damien would still betray him and choose the side of justice, even without recovering his memories and while living as Remy.
Abandoned by all and forsaken even by his own-this was the end destined for Justin.
Holding back her tears, Alyssa urged, "You have to contact Jul. I''m sure he''ll be able to help Damien."
Knowing he could no longer hide the truth, Jonah answered honestly, "Julien... he''s in trouble."
"What?"
Alyssa turned pale with shock. "Since when?"
A sharp pain pierced Jonah''s heart,
elné
face. "Cyrus and I have been trying
draining the color from art
track him down since two days ago, but we still havent found anything:
"Could it have something to do with the man Justin recently recruited, Uri?"
Withbored breaths and beads of sweat lining his brow, Remy continued, "He has always held a
grudge against the Taylors. Atel
same time, Dr. Lovce is the on one who can stand in the way of Justin''s ns.
"So Justin would definitely use him to get rid of Dr. Lovce. As for where Uri might
have taken him... I truly have an idea."
Just as everyone was consumed
with worry, Jonah''s phone suddenly
rang. He quickly pulled it out of his
chest pocket, thinking it was Cyrus calling However, the number, disyed on the screen was
unfamiliar.
In an instant, Jonah felt as if a boulder had been dropped onto his chest, making it
hard to breathe. The air in the room turned cold and silent.
Alyssa and Jasper watched him anxiously as he answered the call and lifted the
phone to his ear. In a low, hoarse voice, he said, "Hello?"
"Jonah, don''t listen to anything he says! Don''te for me!"
The first thing Jonah heard was Julien shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Don''t fall for his evil plot! I don''t want you to save me. If youe here... I''d rather take my own life!"
