Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 278:

In the morning, Elyse awoke feeling dizzy and weak. “Are you alright?” Jayden asked, cradling her in his arms.

Confused, Elyse looked around. She recalled being in a hotel room the day before. Suddenly, the memories flooded back. She seized Jayden’s hand, pain evident in her eyes. “Was I…?” She remembered Glenda tricking her into a hotel room and drugging her, likely arranging for someone to assault her. Elyse had not informed Jayden of her plans to meet Glenda. Even if Jayden had intervened, she feared it might have been too late. Tears streamed down her face as she contemplated the events, her hatred for Glenda growing intense.

Jayden tenderly lifted her chin and kissed her forehead. “You’re fine,” he soothed. “I was right here with you. Nobody could harm you.”

Elyse broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. She thought he was merely saying it to comfort her. Jayden sighed deeply and wrapped her more tightly in his arms, trying to ease her distress. Elyse felt tainted and struggled fiercely, but Jayden’s presence grew steadier beside her. Once her tears subsided and exhaustion set in, she quieted down.

Jayden looked at her earnestly and stated in a serious tone, “You are my wife. Have I ever lied to you?”

“You are not lying,” Elyse, wiping her tears away, asked hesitantly, “Did you get there in time?”
