Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Do You Still Want To Get Married...

You said your sister and Shaun were in love. How could they have broken up if that was truly the case? I don't think your sister really loves Shaun, does she?" Elyse challenged Lowell with a

steady gaze.

Lowell, infuriated by her words, darkened in expression. He dismounted his motorcycle, marched up to her, and demanded in a hostile tone, "Say that again!"

"I said it! Your sister doesn't love Shaun at all. How many times do I need to repeat myself?" Elyse, undaunted, placed her hands on her hips and countered, "If she truly loved Shaun and wanted him back, she wouldn't have sent you here to do her bidding. She's a

coward!"

She had always believed that they were making a mountain out of a molehill. If the love between Dolores and Shaun had been as profound as claimed, how could they have possibly broken up? To her, their breakup was a clear sign of insufficient love. In her view, all these were just excuses to mask the lack of genuine affection.

Lowell, feeling both personally and familialy insulted by Elyse's bold accusations, had never before been pointed at and berated like this. As a member of the Ruiz family, this was uncharted territory for him.

Overwhelmed by anger, he lashed out, reaching his hand towards

Elyse in an attempt to strike her. But suddenly, he screamed and collapsed to his

knees.

Lily, who was standing nearby, let out a scream when she saw Lowell collapse. She rushed over,

her face etched with worry, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lowell's face turned ashen, and the veins on his neck stood out starkly. He clenched his lips

tightly, struggling to hold back cries of pain.w

Elyse, observing his agonized expression, feared he might blame her. < She quickly grabbed Tracy and they hurried over to Jayden.

Upon reaching him, Elyse noticed pebbles in his hand, which left her stunned. "Did you do this?" she asked.

A few minutes later, Lowell began to recover. He massaged his numb, painful leg and scanned the crowd with a fierce glare. "Who did this? Come forward!"

No one responded to Lowell's demand. Just as he was about to continue, an Aston Martin screeched to a halt in front of them. A tall man stepped out. His gaze was piercing as he

immediately spotted Tracy among the crowd and began walking towards her.

'As he approached, Tracy's anger subsided, replaced by a nervous tension. "Shaun, how did you

know I'm here?"

Elyse realized in surprise that this man was Shaun, the central figure of all the drama unfolding. Shaun, with his tall frame and commanding presence, walked up with a dignity that seemed to ward off any challenge.

He stopped in front of Tracy and asked coldly, "Stop making a scene."

Tracy looked away, her voice faltering as she explained, "I didn't. They are making trouble for me." "So, you decided to engage with them? Do you still want to get married tomorrow?" Shaun challenged.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Tracy lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes."

Without another word, Shaun took her hand and led her towards his < car. As they passed by Jayden, Shaun paused to give him a sidelong glance. Jayden returned the look with calm composure.

Their silent exchange briefly chilled the atmosphere, leaving Elyse feeling inexplicably tense. Moments later, Shaun turned away, got into the car, and drove off with Tracy.

Once Tracy had left, Elyse found the atmosphere deflating. She whispered to Jayden, "Let's go.

Jayden nodded, signaled to the bodyguards to take care of the motorcycle, and he started to move towards his car with Elyse.

Just then, Elyse remembered something. She turned back to Lowell and said calmly, "By the way, don't forget our bet. You wouldn't break your promise, now, would you?"

Lowell grimaced at the reminder of the bet that would cost him three hundred thousand dollars, especially since he had failed to stop Tracy's wedding.

"You're going to break your promise, aren't you?" Elyse teased with a smile.

"L will send the money there on time tomorrow," Lowell snapped back.

Elyse nodded, pleased. She was exhausted from visiting all the motorbike shops in the city today. "Thank you for your gift then," she said. Then she climbed into the car, and they drove away. "Don't be sad, Lowell. We can figure this out," Lily said, trying to console him.

"Go away. I don't need your pity!" Lowell retorted sharply. He picked up his helmet, adjusted his motorbike, and rode off without a backward glance.

Lily remained where she stood, fists clenched, dissatisfied with how things had turned out.
