Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 153:

Elyse noticed a marked change in Mabel’s demeanor. It seemed she’d truly learned a lesson from Theo’s actions. Coldly staring at Theo, Elyse questioned, “Mr. Ward, why are you tormenting my sister like this? She’s done nothing to you. Why bully her?”

Draped in a hospital gown, Theo still maintained an air of handsomeness and grace. “She volunteered,” he stated. “Claimed she’d do anything to be with me.”

Elyse’s dissatisfaction was palpable. “So you plan to kill her and take her heart?”
