Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 333 Did I Disappoint You By...

Seated in the living room, Elyse was startled by Jayden's sudden laughter. Perplexed, she

hesitated briefly before rising and making her way to the study door. A gentle knock followed her query. "Jayden, < everything alright in there?"

Jayden's silence lingered, but Elyse didn't think much of it. Turning to leave, she was taken aback as Jayden swung open the door, fixing her with an intense gaze.

Elyse took a step back, questioning, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Jayden sidestepped her inquiry, redirecting the conversation. "Would you like to see your sister?" Confusion clouded Elyse's thoughts. Jayden's demeanor seemed unsettling, as though he teetered on the edge of control.

Without a word, she approached him, enveloping him in a forting embrace, his face nestled against her chest.

Jayden offered no protest, allowing her embrace to anchor him. After a while, he questioned, "What are you doing?"

In a hushed tone, Elyse murmured, "You left me for two hours earlier. I missed you, needed to hold you close."

A flicker of amusement danced in Jayden's eyes. He didn't resist the embrace, instead drawing her closer, finding solace in her

It was peculiar. Moments ago, he had felt his world spinning out of control, his breath hitching. Now, in her arms, a sense of tranquility washed over him. He found himself oddly forted by the embrace.

After a moment's contemplation, Elyse broached the subject, "Mabel is locked in the basement. Will she resent me if I visit

At her words, Jayden scoffed, "You're worried she'll resent you? She already does; you just refused to see it."

Elyse sighed. "I know. I'll go see her."

With determination, Jayden guided her out of the villa towards the basement.

Mabel had inflicted harm upon Elyse, putting her in jeopardy. How could Jayden spare her? He was determined to return to Mabel the pain Elyse had endured, multiplied.

Arriving at the basement, Elyse wrinkled her nose at the foul odor. "Where's that stench ing from?"

Jayden shrugged. "Your sister had a panic attack and soiled herself on the first day. My staff refused to clean up, and I couldn't force them. So, she's been left to endure

it!"

Elyse's expression turned plex. How foul and neglected must this basement be if it hadn't been cleaned for days?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

As a bodyguard opened the door, the overpowering stench hit Elyse full force. The odor nearly overwhelmed her senses, but after a moment's recovery, she entered, pinching her nose tightly. Inside, the harsh light revealed Mabel in a desolate state, huddled in a corner, silent and "Mabel?" Elyse's voice quivered with uncertainty.

Startled, Mabel lifted her head, resentment flickering in her eyes at the sight of Elyse. With a sudden surge, she lunged towards her, only to be restrained by the chain shackling her leg, limiting her movement.

Spewing curses, she shouted, "You wretch! This is all your doing. Let me out of here! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess."

Elyse's expression shifted slightly. Despite enduring days of confinement, Mabel's temperament remained unchanged.

"Did I disappoint you by surviving?" Elyse asked a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Casting a disdainful glance at Mabel's restrained leg, she added, "If I were you, I'd be more humble and beg for forgiveness, instead of in my own filth."

Mabel snapped back, "Let me out. I'll make you pay. It should be you locked up here, not me."
