Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

It Must Have Been Tough Without Yo...

Morgan watched as Elyse walked away. Noticing the man's behavior toward Elyse, she inquired Tracy, "Who is that man? Is Elyse safe with him?"

Tracy dismissed the concern with a wave of her hand. "No need to worry. That's Jayden Owen, Elyse's husband. They've just had a disagreement but they'll make up soon."

"Jayden Owen?" Morgan repeated the name, pondering it as several images surged through her mind.

She envisioned a couple holding hands, walking ahead of her. They glanced back at her, said something, and then shared a smile before looking away.

In another vision, the man was in a hospital bed, connected to a ventilator, and the woman was beside him on the bed.

Both looked very pale.

Taking a deep breath, Morgan's mental images began to swirl, and the background noise faded

away.

Suddenly, she couldn't hear anything. A moment later, she collapsed.

Tracy was shocked and cried out urgently, "Morgan's fainted! Someone call 911!"

They quickly arranged for Morgan to be taken to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Elyse got into the car with Jayden.

The driver sensed the tension and immediately set up the partition, separating himself from the

couple in the back.

Elyse turned her head to gaze out of the window, remaining silent.

Jayden looked over at her and felt a twinge of annoyance. He inquired, "Are you upset with me?" "No, you're overthinking it."

Jayden sensed her irritation and asked, "Is it about what happened last night? I didn't mean to upset you. There was a reason behind it."

Hearing this, Elyse's annoyance grew. She closed her eyes, seemingly unwilling to listen to him any further.

Realizing she was truly upset, Jayden wondered why she was angry.

He was at a loss and unsure how to soothe her, so he chose to remain quiet.

After closing her eyes and resting for a bit, Elyse opened her eyes, curious to see where they

were, only to realize they weren't headed home.

"Where are we going now?" Elyse asked.

"To the nursing home," Jayden responded.

Hearing this, Elyse closed her eyes once more.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon reaching the nursing home, Elyse swiftly exited the car, catching the driver off guard as he

was about to open the door for her. He turned to Jayden in surprise.

Jayden remained silent and exited the car, maneuvering his wheelchair.

After a moment, the driver said, "Sir, Mrs. Owen seems upset. It might be wise to coax

her."w

Jayden shot him a look and responded, "I'm not blind. I noticed."

But he didn't understand why she was so angry. Could she possibly be jealous?

Inside the nursing home, Elyse was greeted by a nurse at the entrance. After verifying her details, she followed the nurse to that elderly woman's room.

The elderly lady was neatly dressed, her silver hair combed back, her eyes behind presbyopic glasses. She was busily knitting.

As Elyse approached, she noticed the old lady was making tiny baby socks.

She was confused and asked, "Who is she knitting socks for?"

The nurse shrugged. "I'm not sure. She's been knitting with wool for the past couple of days, and she's been calm. Sometimes, she steps outside to enjoy the sun."

Having heard this, Elyse slowly approached the elderly woman, crouched down, and gently asked, "Ma'am, who are you knitting these little socks for?"

With a loving gaze fixed on the socks, the old lady replied with a smile, "For little Elyse. She likes them."

Elyse was surprised.

"But I'm too grown up for such tiny socks."

The elderly lady turned to Elyse, studying her face for a moment as if recognizing her for the first time. Excitedly, she exclaimed, "Elyse! My Elyse! You're all grown up! How have you been all these years? It must have been tough without your parents."

As Jayden approached, he heard the part about Elyse "being without her parents" and narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Unsure of what was happening, Elyse assumed the old lady was confused and reassured her, "I

have my dad and mom. Don't worry, I'm doing well."

The elderly woman shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Poor child."

Elyse wrapped her arms around the old lady, offering comfort.

Jayden entered and asked the elderly woman, "Ma'am, may I know your name?"
