Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2459

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.

Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up.

His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying.

She was sound asleep.

Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.

Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.

A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers.

The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let go of.

Mandy stirred slightly, her brow furrowing.

Remy swallowed hard and withdrew his hand.

…

Still, disappointment settled in her chest—Remy had been their best lead to finding Amber.

"Mrs. Taylor, the test results are out!"

Neil burst into the room, breathless with excitement, clutching a report. He faltered upon seeing Alyssa, his enthusiasm dampened by hesitation.

"It's fine," Mandy said softly, her gaze steady. "Lyse is one of us. Go ahead."

"It's alright. I know." Alyssa drew a deep breath and met Mandy's tear-filled gaze. "I know you've been investigating Remy's identity. And you're right. He's Damien Taylor, your son, my brother—the one we've been missing all these years."
