Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2489

After settling Jasper down for the night, Xavier left the bedroom and nervously dialed Julien's number from the living room.

Julien picked up after only a few rings. As always, the background noise on his end was chaotic. "Mr. Hall, is Mr. Beckett unwell?"

Xavier felt bad for only reaching out to Julien whenever he needed help, especially since Julien had always been kind to them. Nonetheless, he asked politely, "Dr. Lovelace, we're running low on Mr. Beckett's medication. Could you provide two more bottles?"

"Already? I gave you three bottles last time!"

Though shocked, Julien didn't treat Xavier like an outsider. He spoke bluntly, "Has Mr. Beckett been taking my meds like candy? Listen—nervous system depressants like these are harmful to the nerves and kidneys.

"Too much can damage his brain and his sexual function. If he's not careful, he might not be able to get it up in the future!"

"But we really don't have a choice right now. Mr. Beckett can't go without it, and his condition could flare up at any time. If anyone captures that on camera and it gets out, it'll be over for him!"

Anxious, Xavier blurted, "Besides, Mr. Beckett lasts so long in bed that he'd still be ahead of most men even if his stamina dropped a little. Madam Alyssa actually ends up suffering every time. It might be good for her to get a break."

Julien was so stunned that he burst out laughing. "If I were Alyssa, I'd shove your head down your pants the moment I heard that."

Xavier was left speechless.

"I don't have much of that medication left right now. The research center in Mosgravia is still developing a new formula. This time, we're trying to minimize the side effects on the nervous system.

"My goal is to neutralize as many of the remaining toxins in Mr. Beckett's body as possible. I'll deliver the new batch next week once it's ready."

Deeply moved, Xavier thanked him repeatedly. "Thank you, Dr. Lovelace. Thank you!"

After ending the call, Julien sat alone in the corner of a noisy bar. Tilting his head back, he downed another drink.

Ever since leaving Jonah, he had gone back to his messy old life—except for one thing. He no longer chased love or believed in it.

Even though Uri had told him the truth about Jonah and Blake, that didn't mean Julien wanted to see him again.

"I'm not a kid. I don't believe this meeting is a coincidence. What do you want, Mr. Holland?"

"Dr. Lovelace, I heard you've been running your own research lab in Mosgravia," Uri said as he signaled for a glass of whiskey. "It's been quite successful, but I also heard it's facing some financial struggles."

Julien's eyes darkened. "How do you know about that? Did you dig up information on me? Who told you?"

"My employer is very interested in your lab, and he greatly admires your talent." Uri picked up his drink and took a casual sip. "He'd like to invest in you."

Julien frowned. "Who is this employer of yours?"

Uri swirled the amber liquid in his glass, a proud smile playing on his lips. "The president of Beckett Group, Mr. Justin Beckett."
