Chapter 145
That incident had caused Alyssa pain for a very long time,
Two years ago, she lost her child in an accident. Since then, she had been consistently
avoiding shops that sold infant products.
She stayed away whenever the lople of children came up. She couldn’t even stop herself
from breaking down when bables appeared on television
It was Christmas Eve, and she had driven to the beach with Newton as they wanted to
look at the snow displays there. They had a car accident on the way there.
However, Alyssa had saved him first before checking on her own lojales. They were rushed
to the hospital soon after.
At that point in time, the rest of the Becketts had gone overseas to celebrate, whereas
Jasper had joined Liana for a holiday.
Alyssa had withstood the immense pain in her belly while waiting for Ben to turn up. She
ended up collapsing, thoroughly exhausted.
“Madam Alice, you’re bleedingl
She vaguely remembered bleeding profusely down there, the warm sensation bringing
with it a deep terror. Only then did she realize she had been pregnant, Later, they found
out she had been pregnant for two months. 1

It was hers and Jasper’s child.
1–I’ll have Mr. Jasper come home right away!” Ben had frantically pulled out his phone, but
Alyssa stopped him before he could make the call.
“Please please don’t She had been terrified amidst the despair of the situation. She
sobbed weakly as she said, “Jasper he doesn’t know. He’d just get mad at me if he knew.
So please, keep this a secret from him
Back in the present, Alyssa clutched her belly as if the pain from that night was recurring.
Seeing this, Colene hugged her tight, with Mandy and Lyla following suit. The three women
formed a protective blanket around Alyssa as she relived the pain from those years ago. 1
“I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault! I won’t bring it up again, Alyssa. I won’t! Please don’t cry,”
Colene mumbled.
“I should feel happy for the child, really,” Alyssa rasped, a bitter smile surfacing on her
face. “Better to stay away from a lifetime of witnessing its parents‘ broken marriage and
never getting its father’s love.”
Alyssa didn’t get any sleep that night.
When she closed her eyes, that familiar sight of blood would appear in her mind. She
remained curled up in bed until morning, trying to hold onto her sanity while memory
ravaged her mind.
After losing her child, she spent the days crying until she had no more tears left.
She could withstand the slaughters of war but not the loss of this precious life she had
nurtured inside her. It felt like her soul had been
torn in half.
Alyssa said quietly to herself, “I’m so sorry, baby. Mommy’s so sorry. I don’t know If I’ll
ever be able to see you in this life again.”
The following day, Alyssa dragged her tired body out of bed. She then cleaned hersell up
before going downstairs, so no one could tell she had just had one of the most distressing
nights of her life.
“Lyse dear, I’ve made your favorites for breakfast. Have some before you go.” Lyla came
over to greet her, still in an apron. Her heart ached. for Alyssa upon seeing her slightly
bloodshot eyes.
“Could you pack it up for me, please? I’ll eat on the way out.” Alyssa gave her a kind smile
in return. “I need to attend a board meeting at
the hotel in two hours.”
“Alright,” Lyla bearned. “I’ll pack some for Sean too.”

Thank you, Madam! Sean, who had entered the kitchen just in time to catch the
conversation, quickly expressed his gratitude.
Alyssa left the manor with Sean without alerting Winston, heading back to Solana City.
“Alyssa, you must tell us if you face any problems or get into any trouble while managing
the hotel, especially if the Beckett family tries to do anything to you. We can always back
you up.”
Mandy gritted her teeth, recalling how Sophia Kirkman and her gang of bitches had
attacked Alyssa the last time they were at the auction event. “I’ll make sure they never
get another chance to speak to you like that again. I’ll slip a good poison in their drinks so
their tongues fall out of their mouths!”
“You should give them one that paralyzes them from the waist down!” Colene called out.
“How dare they bully our dear Alyssa?
Alyssa laughed, finding the two women incredibly amusing.
Though their statements were not entirely without credibility.
Mandy grew up surrounded by apothecaries and doctors. Her family exerted significant
influence over the medical industry in both Belbank and Solana City. So, Mandy really
wasn’t exaggerating when she said she could make Sophia’s tongue fall off.
