Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Spat

Upon returning home from the hospital, Elyse seemed slightly weakened. Driscoll approached her with a worried expression, asking, "Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm just a bit weak," she responded, patting her stomach gently and smiling.

Observing her, Jayden commented, "That's what happens when you act foolishly." "Lam not foolish!" Elyse's smile faded, and she stood up abruptly, clearly upset.

Ignoring her discomfort, Jayden coldly added, "Had you been smarter, you wouldn't have landed in the hospital."

"Jayden!" Elyse exclaimed, feeling wronged. "You're so annoying!"

She stormed upstairs with a snort, and the sound of her slamming the door echoed down to the first floor.

Stunned for several seconds, Jayden finally grasped that Elyse had rebuked him. His face took on a bewildered expression as he mumbled, "How dare she call me annoying! Who was it that cared enough to bring her home? Haven't I cared for her enough?" His frustration mounted.

Noticing the tension, Driscoll stepped in to calm the situation. "Sir, she has only just recovered. She's understandably upset. You hurt her feelings."

"I hurt her feelings? I've done so much for her, and yet she calls me annoying!" Jayden exclaimed,

slapping the armrest of his wheelchair.

Elyse's words continued to haunt him. How could she say that about him?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yet, he couldn't understand why her words affected him so deeply.

Sensing Jayden's turmoil, Driscoll attempted to offer some advice, "Sir, your approach was rather harsh. Perhaps you should go upstairs and

comfort her. She was just upset."

"I did nothing wrong. If she had been more cautious, none of this would have happened," Jayden retorted stubbornly.

Driscoll gave a resigned smile and tried to explain, "She is not you. She doesn't approach things with the same level of caution, and her life hasn't been fraught with danger like yours." Jayden fell silent, considering Driscoll's words.

Driscoll continued, "I know you've done a lot for her in secret, but you've never told her. You shouldn't have spoken to her like that."

"What did I say that was so wrong? It's true, she was foolish," Jayden muttered, still unconvinced. "Consider this. She has never spoken II of you. She's always been supportive," Driscoll reminded him.

"Nonsense." Jayden dismissed his advice, pressing the button on his wheelchair to veer off toward the garden.

Once there, despite the beautiful surroundings, Jayden's thoughts were consumed by Elyse.

From a distance, Driscoll and the household staff watched him with concern.

A maid whispered worriedly, "I hope they don't stay angry for long They were just starting to build something together."

The gardener chimed in, "Driscoll, you need to step in. Mr. Owen has never been good with women; he doesn't know how to please them. If this keeps u

Another maid added anxiously, "And how will they ever have a baby if things continue this way? We need a little one around here."

Overhearing their conversation, Driscoll's frown deepened. He straightened his jacket and declared firmly, "I'm going to speak with him. He was determined to help them reconcile.

Just as Driscoll was setting his plans into motion, the gardener quietly noted, "Driscoll, Mr. Owen

is heading back inside. Is he going to seclude himself in the study again?"

Approaching Jayden, Driscoll said with a serious tone, "Sir, there's something important we need to discuss."

Jayden gave him an indifferent glance. "Is it about Elyse? I'm not interested."

"I still think you should talk to her. Just a few words, and I'm sure she'll forgivePlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Jayden dismissed the suggestion and maneuvered his wheelchair into the elevator.

Watching this, the servants lurking nearby were puzzled. "It's odd. Mr. Owen didn't head to the study this time. Could he be going back to his room?"

"You fool! Maybe he's going to see his wife. He might shy away from acknowledging it, lest he lose face."
