Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 334 Threatened To mit Suicide

Elyse observed Mabel's fierce and menacing demeanor, an unsettling feeling creeping over her. Suddenly, a disturbing notion crossed her mind-was this person truly her sister?

The sorrow in her heart ebbed away, replaced by a cold numbness. "You orchestrated my abduction. Did you ever consider the consequences?" she asked, her voice devoid of emotion. Mabel's response was chillingly indifferent. "Consequences? Why would I care? You've never been of any help to me. You're nothing but useless trash."

Elyse closed her eyes slowly, a chill settling in her heart. She had cared for Mabel since childhood, yet here she was, regarded as worthless. The absurdity of it all struck her deeply.

Fixing her gaze upon Mabel, Elyse uttered calmly, "If you have no use for me, then I have nothing more to say. Your fate is no concern of mine."

Mabel was momentarily stunned. While she despised Elyse and wished her gone, a part of her yearned for her help. The putrid stench of the basement only fueled her desperation to escape. Fearful of Elyse's departure, she crawled towards her, threatening, "You wretch! If you don't rescue me, I'll tell our parents and have them cripple you, locking you away like Jayden Owen did to me!"

'As Mabel reached for Elyse's ankle, Elyse silently stepped back, eluding her grasp.

"Elyse Lloyd!" Mabel cried out in frustration, locking eyes with Elyse, whose expression was as lifeless as her own emotions.

But this time, she refused to succumb to Mabel's tantrum. Her voice icy, she stated, "Consider yourself fortunate to be confined here. Your actions could have landed you in jail."

Mabel seethed, "You think this hellhole is better? I'd rather rot in jail!"

Unmoved, Elyse replied, "Then I have nothing more to say."

With a final glance at Mabel, she turned on her heel and departed the basement.

Jayden, lounging lazily, fixed his gaze on Mabel. "Would you prefer jail?" he queried with a meaningful look.

Disrespectful of Jayden's disability, Mabel scoffed, "Is being locked in your filthy basement any better? Your personality matches the place."

Jayden remained unfazed by her retort. Smiling gently, he turned and left the

basement.

Unaware of Jayden's true nature, Mabel interpreted his smile as confirmation of his ineffectiveness.

In the darkness, she harbored no remorse for her actions, instead blaming her misfortunes on the two individuals she deemed failures.

Elyse hurriedly exited the basement, the moon casting a bright glow overhead. She appeared distressed, taking a quiet deep breath.

Jayden emerged slowly, joining her side. "Are you upset?" he inquired softly.

Elyse shook her head. "There's no reason to be upset. I should have realized sooner. That's how they've always treated me."

Her eyes dimmed with resignation. She should have recognized their mistreatment long ago, but her reluctance to acknowledge it kept her clinging to the facade of familial affection. Wheeling closer in his chair, Jayden reassured her, "Don't despair. I'll ensure justice isPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Elyse nodded in gratitude, walking alongside Jayden. As they proceeded, Driscoll rushed towards them. "Mr. and Mrs. Owen, Lanny and Glenda are back," he informed them urgently. "They're threatening to drink pesticides if they're denied access to Mabel."

Elyse's disbelief was evident. "Drink pesticides? It would kill them."

Driscoll nodded gravely. "Yes. What if they follow through?" w(0}rm.

Jayden remained impassive. "If they do, call an ambulance. Let them not meet their end at my doorstep."
