Chapter 162:

Elyse stared at Jayden’s long legs, lost in thought. “How did you manage to get here without the wheelchair?”

Raising his head to glance at her, he asked, “How do you think I did?”

She stared at him for some time, doubts about his disability stepping into her mind. She always felt Jayden was the one who had come to save her when she was kidnapped by Joanna. Or was it all a dream?

Elyse walked up to him and pinched his thigh with all the strength she could muster. Peyton stood aside and held his breath, afraid Jayden wouldn’t endure the pain but shout. On the other hand, Jayden calmly stared at him as he tried to hold back the pain.

Elyse’s doubts were cleared after the physical examination. “I can’t feel the pain, but I’m sure there is a bruise left. Would you like to examine another spot?” Jayden asked with a sigh.

Not quite satisfied, Elyse withdrew her hand. “How did you get down here?”

“Ask him,” Jayden pointed at Peyton.

Peyton trembled with fear on hearing his name. Why was he being involved in the issue?

“Peyton, why did you come to our house at this time of the night? And of all places, the basement,” Elyse interrogated.
