Chapter 345:

Elyse’s heart sank as she silently entered the ward, her expression tense. Jayden didn’t follow but stood back, watching Glenda with curiosity. He hadn’t expected her to be so persuasive. His gaze made Glenda feel uneasy, silencing her tears. She trembled and looked down, guilt etched on her face. After eyeing her for a moment, he asked, “Are you scared of me?”

Glenda forced a smile, her tone ingratiating. “No, no. You’re my son-in-law. Why would I be afraid of you?”

Jayden glanced at her knees. “So you’re still kneeling so people will think I’m disrespectful?”

“No, that’s not what I meant,” she stammered, clutching the wall to stand. “I thought you were kneeling to pressure my wife into helping you,” Jayden said, a hint of mockery in his voice.

Embarrassment washed over Glenda, and she was momentarily lost for words. But she refused to give up; she wanted Elyse to save Mabel. “I’ll go see Elyse,” she quickly slipped into the ward, smiling.

Inside, Elyse exchanged a few words with the old woman. The woman tried to sit up, so Elyse propped her up and adjusted a pillow for her. As the old woman glanced up, she noticed Glenda entering, her clouded eyes lighting up with recognition. She suddenly grew highly emotional and shouted at Glenda, “Why are you here? Are you trying to steal my Elyse?”

Glenda locked eyes with her. Surprise flickered across Glenda’s face, but there was also a fierce, killing intent and fear. Her gaze hardened. “What are you doing here?”
