Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 58 Rickey Owen And Janet Lawrence

The old woman spread her arms wide and wailed like a lost child.

Jayden turned to Elyse, who looked stricken by what she was seeing. "It seems like she only remembers you. She called your name before she fainted the other day, remember?"

Elyse did remember, but then what?

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked over to the old lady. When the patient just kept crying, Elyse crouched and put her arms around her.

The old lady leaned into the embrace, as though she had finally found her saving grace. She wept and wept, her tears soaking the collar of Elyse's shirt.

They remained that way for a while, and when the old lady finally seemed to calm down, Elyse

asked her, "Is there something you wanted to tell me, Ma'am?"

The old lady slowly raised her head, her face wrought with misery.

"Are you Elyse Lloyd?"

"Yes, that is my name."

"You're all grown up now. When I first saw you, you were just a baby."

Elyse was shocked. This old lady had met her in her early years?

The old lady then folded her arms in front of her, as one would when they cradled a baby, then

looked back at Elyse's face. Her brows were furrowed in obvious confusion, as if she was,

wondering how the baby had suddenly turned into a young woman.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-two."

"Twenty-two? So it has been twenty-two years..."

The old lady muttered to herself for a few seconds. Then her face lit up, like she had just been

struck by a realization, and she grew animated. She grabbed Elyse by the arms and cried out, "Don't forget Rickey Owen, and find Janet Lawrence!"

"What?"

"Don't forget Rickey Owen, and find Janet Lawrence!" The old lady kept repeating the same words over and over, her tone getting more paranoid and frantic with each second.

Elyse stiffened, a litle frightened now, and could only stare at the old lady.

"What are you waiting for?" Jayden said to the doctors in the room. "Do something and restrain her."

One of the nurses jumped into action, fetching a syringe of sedative and quickly administering it to the patient. The old lady fell limp and lost consciousness almost instantly.

Elyse pulled away and glanced at her arms. There were marks from how tight the old lady had gripped them.

"Are you all right?" Jayden asked as he walked next to her.\W%W.novélw6rm.org

"I'm fine."

"Come on. The nurses will take over. Let's head home."

Elyse nodded, still in a daze. She followed him out of the ward to the hospital grounds.

They strolled and took their time, but it was obvious that Elyse's mind was elsewhere. Jayden

knew that she was still thinking about what had happened back at the ward.

"Are you concerned about what that old lady said?"

"Yes, very much so. She knew my name, and claimed that she knew me when I was just a baby. She must know about my past, but... How did she become like this?"

Elyse sighed and continued, "Moreover, those two other names she mentioned... I've never heard them before."

ickey Owen and Janet Lawrence," Jayden murmured. "If you want to know who they are, just

say the word, and I'll have my people investigate."

Elyse smiled. "Thank you then."

"You're welcome, honey."

She stopped short at that, her cheeks turning into an alluring shade of pink. "Why are you calling me that all of a sudden?"

"What's wrong? You did it first, back at your parents' house."

"I know I did, but that was-" Elyse pressed her lips into a thin line, her face burning.

"Well, I think it's a good thing for us to be calling each other pet names in public," Jayden said,Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

completely unbothered. "That way, no one will doubt our relationship."

meet with Theo?"

"You don't want to?"

"Why would I? I'm married now."

Jayden cocked his head to the side and peered at her. He could tell she was struggling to remain composed. "It's fine, you can go if you need to. I won't stop you."

Elyse's jaw fell open in disbelief.

Driscoll had warned her that Jayden could be petty and narrow-minded about some things.

Indeed, she had a taste of it once before, and she told herself she would never invite a second time.

"Won't you come with me?"

"And why would I go with you" Jayden countered lightly.

"Because you are my husband!" Elyse decided to use a different tactic. "Theo was so scary the other day. He actually tried to kiss me! I will feel much safer if you're with me." Jayden raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then. I will spare some time to accompany you."

Elyse chuckled under her breath. Jayden looked proud and pleased with himself, but she knew

that if she hadn't buttered him up, he would definitely get jealous. And when that happened, there would certainly be hell to pay.
