Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 13 You Really Disappoint Me

"Well, I've told you what I can. The next steps are up to you. I can't be of much help, especially since he won't even cooperate with a basic examination," Peyton said, shrugging helplessly. "I'm sorry. He didn't mean to be difficult. I apologize on his behalf, Elyse replied, her voice filled

with regret.

Even apologizing for Jayden? That brat didn't deserve such a nice girl! Annoyed, Peyton stormed out of the garden.

Relieved to have found a way to help Jayden, Elyse let out a deep sigh of relief.

Back in her room, she lay on the bed and began searching on her phone for massage techniques. Peyton had mentioned that Jayden's legs still had nerve responses. Regular massages could potentially help him stand again.

After watching several instructional videos, Elyse felt ready to try.

Jayden was in his room, lounging and reading a book. Hearing Elyse, he responded coolly.

Elyse, holding the door open, smiled at him.

"What's up?"

"May I come in?" she asked gently.

Jayden's eyes narrowed. "Come in."

Elyse entered his room, met his gaze, and crouched in front of him, placing her hands on his shins.

The contact made Jayden sit up straight instinctively. He abruptly grabbed her hand and snapped, "What are you doing?"

"I want to give you a massage, Elyse said, blinking as she pulled her hands back.

Jayden looked down and replied coldly, "Has no one told you that it was my thighs that were

injured?"Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Embarrassed, Elyse moved her hands up to his thighs. Her technique was unpolished, and he felt little comfort, only the touch of her hands

After enduring it for a while, Jayden grasped her wrist again. "Do you even know how to give a massage? Are you trying to tickle me?"

"Ill use more force now," Elyse announced, applying greater pressure with her other hand. Jayden inhaled sharply, clenched his teeth, and exclaimed, "Who taught you to press there?"

"I learned from some videos. They said that pressing the inner thighs could help stimulate the nerves, Elyse explained.

She looked at him eagerly and asked, "How does it feel? Do you feel anything? Did it help? I can do this every day for you."

She wants to do this every day? Jayden felt a surge of frustration but was powerless to stop her. He wasn't disabled and didn't need her help. Her

persistence seemed utterly pointless. She might as well focus on herself.

Just as he was about to ask her to leave, he caught the expectation and kindness in her eyes. He realized she genuinely wanted to help.

The harsh words he had ready died in his throat, and he swallowed them.

However, another problem troubled Jayden. Elyse knew that the inner thighs were effective spots

for massage, but for a man, it was also a sensitive area. Continuing to press there might provoke an involuntary physical response.

Noticing his physical reaction, Jayden exclaimed, "Enough! Stop pressing!"

Startled by his outburst, Elyse stepped back, her eyes wide with confusion.

"What are you trying to achieve with this? Just tell me."

I don't want anything. I just want to help with the massage. Did you feel anything when I applied

more pressure just now? That means there's hope for your legs to recover, Elyse explained earnestly.

Jayden suddenly felt a flicker of curiosity. "Why are you so determined to give me these massages? Did Peyton say something to you?"

Excitedly, Elyse pulled out her phone, played a video, and said, "Yes, he told me that regular massages could help you stand again."

"Boring," Jayden muttered, unimpressed by the revelation. He suspected Peyton was behind this whole scenario. He had no interest in indulging these games with Elyse. They seemed to serve only her sense of self-satisfaction.

"Massages are pointless. Please leave and let me read in peace."

Witnessing Jayden's dismissive attitude, Elyse's temper flared instantly. She snatched the book from his hands and exclaimed angrily, "Jayden, you really disappoint me!"
