Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 6:

Jayden hadn’t expected her to come, so in a panic, he decided to let himself fall to the floor. Seeing Jayden crash down and struggle to sit up with the help of his wheelchair, Elyse shivered. Was Jayden using the solitude of the study to secretly practice standing?

Jayden listened to her footsteps recede and only stood up once he was certain she was gone. Dusting off his legs, he realized he had been too careless. He would have to be more cautious in the future lest she discover his pretense of disability.

Meanwhile, Elyse lay in bed ridden with guilt, unable to sleep. She felt as though she had deeply hurt Jayden.
