Chapter 53:

Gazing at Peyton, Jayden couldn’t help but marvel at his acting prowess for the first time. “You should consider a career in acting rather than medicine. It would be a waste of your talent,” Jayden suggested.

Peyton blinked, then smirked, gesturing towards Elyse. Following his gaze, Jayden noticed the concern etched on her face. She feared that without his active cooperation in the massage, he might never regain mobility.

It was the first time Jayden felt the weight of stress after feigning disability for a year. Perhaps moved by Elyse’s anxious expression, he relented. “Fine, let’s head to the study for the massage.”

Elyse nodded eagerly, then inquired, “Why do you always prefer the study? Does it offer you a sense of security?”

Jayden remained silent, while Peyton burst into laughter.

“Really? That’s wonderful, Dr. Ellis, please teach me!” Elyse exclaimed with excitement.

Jayden couldn’t help but smirk when he heard Peyton’s instructions. He knew Peyton was gearing up to make things difficult for him. Did Elyse truly buy into it?
