Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

I Will Give You Everything In The Future

When Elyse emerged from the bathroom, she noticed Brook was missing. She scanned the area and realized Driscoll was also absent. Curiously, she asked, "Where is Brook?"

"He's gone," Jayden replied, his voice calm as he sipped his tea.

Elyse was taken aback. She had only been to the bathroom. It seemed too quick for Brook to have left. "Didn't he say he was staying for dinner?"

"He did, but he left after receiving a phone call," Jayden explained.

Elyse nodded, accepting his explanation without suspicion. She sat down next to him, relieved. "It's good that he's gone. I never liked him much. Looking into his eyes felt like being watched by a viper."

Jayden chuckled at her comment. "You're quite perceptive. Snakes are actually his favorite pets.

He keeps more than a dozen at his place."

Elyse's expression stiffened as she imagined living with so many snakes. She rubbed the

goosebumps forming on her arms and remarked, "That's a unique hobby."

"It's more than unique. It's creepy. While others might keep snakes as pets, he raises them for

more sinister reasons to foster something repulsive," Jayden stated.

Disgusted, Elyse listened as Jayden offered a word of caution, "Keep your distance when you see

him next. He's not just untrustworthy- he's also a serious contender for the head of the Owen

clan, Anyone in his way seems to get removed."

Frightened by the seriousness of his tone, Elyse nodded submissively. "Don't worry. I'll steer clear

of him." She had no desire to encounter such a repulsive person again!

"After I became disabled and lost my influence in the Owen clan, < those with ambition saw me as insignificant. That's why, up until now, you've only met Brook Owen from my family," Jayden

explained.

She looked at Jayden thoughtfully and said, "! think it's better for us to live peacefully now, without worrying about the outside world and their actions."NeYéDWorm.orgContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jayden seemed puzzled by her comment. "Do you really think it's good for me to be disabled like this?"

"Yes, I do. You were so influential before that it probably made many envious. If you had continued on that path, you might have ended up a creep like Brook," she responded.

Jayden scoffed slightly. "Actually, there's something I've kept from you." Curious, Elyse inquired, "What is it?"

"The car accident a year ago was orchestrated by those ambitious rivals. I actually thrived in that cutthroat environment," Jayden revealed with a calm demeanor, but Elyse was taken aback. She stood up, looking at his legs in disbelief. "How could that be? Who was behind it? Was it Brook, or someone else from your family?"

Elyse's reaction was intense, unlike any Jayden had seen before. He tilted his head, observing her for a moment.

"I don't know who exactly was responsible. I haven't figured it out yet. But you're right. This quiet life is indeed very pleasant. It's free from intrigue and deceit, and I do feel more at ease," he admitted.

Elyse's expression grew complex. She realized that while she voiced those words hoping for his peace, her perspective was that of an observer, not someone living through the turmoil as he was. Jayden had lived through the betrayal. His own family had conspired against him, leading to his disability. It seemed he hadn't yet come to terms with his new reality.

While Elyse was struggling to find the right words, Jayden broke the silence. "I haven't given up

on finding out who did this to me. I can't just let it go."

She understood what he was implying. Jayden was not ready to accept a life of disability. He was

still determined to fight for justice. His peaceful life was perhaps temporary.

After a moment of reflection, Elyse approached him and spoke softly. "If you need me in the future, I will help you."

Jayden was surprised by her declaration. He had assumed she preferred a quiet life away from conflict. Yet, she had decided to stand by him.

"What do you expect to gain by helping me?" Jayden finally voiced the question that had been on his mind for a while.

Elyse looked puzzled by his question. "Do I need to want something in return for helping you? I'm your wife, aren't I? Shouldn't I be by your side and support you?"

Jayden gazed at her and remarked, "You're quite the entertainer."

He pulled her up and continued, "You may not want anything in return, but I must give something. I will give you everything in the future."
