Chapter 117:

Jayden whisked Elyse off to the helicopter, which promptly soared towards the city’s premier hospital. Peyton, having been alerted earlier, had made all the necessary preparations at the hospital and successfully suppressed any news of the incident to prevent investigations. Doctors immediately rushed Elyse to the emergency room upon her arrival on a hospital bed. At the end of the queue, Peyton performed a swift check and confirmed Elyse was not in immediate danger, which prompted Jayden to make his exit.

“Where are you headed? Won’t you stay by Elyse’s side?” Peyton inquired.

Looking down, Jayden held a purple rubber band – Elyse’s, which had slipped from her hair as he had carried her. “There’s something I need to handle before she wakes,” he explained.

Although Peyton didn’t attempt to detain him, he eyed Jayden’s legs critically and warned, “Stay under the radar. The Owen family has noticed your search for Elyse. My contacts tell me Brook is monitoring you. Have they figured out the truth about your legs yet?”

“What does it matter if they have?” Jayden retorted dismissively.

“Have you lost your senses? We’ve concealed that for an entire year,” Peyton argued, trying to persuade him. “The culprit behind the car accident hasn’t been caught. They’re still lurking in the shadows, waiting. We need to draw them out. You should maintain a low profile until we’re absolutely certain of your situation.”

Jayden stood with his back to Peyton for a few moments before departing. Peyton sighed internally, unsure if his words had made any impact. He knew well that Elyse’s condition profoundly affected Jayden. It was crucial to ensure her recovery soon, or Jayden might lose himself completely.
