Chapter 495:

Peyton was at a loss for words. With a bitter tone, he explained, “You have to trust me on this. I urged Jayden to tell you the truth more than once. It was his choice. He was adamant that knowing would put you in danger. He didn’t want to involve you.”

Elyse’s sadness deepened as she questioned, “Does he truly want to protect me from danger, or is he just unwilling to share his secret, afraid it will draw us closer together?”

Peyton was at a loss. He wasn’t Jayden and couldn’t fathom his thoughts.

After a long pause, he awkwardly suggested, “When he wakes up, let’s confront him and demand an explanation!”

Elyse smiled bitterly. “Does he think I’m a fool? He feared for my safety but forgot my role in his life. I’m his wife. Just being with him puts me at risk. How could he believe hiding the truth was the best way to protect me?”

Peyton forced a smile. “I don’t understand it either. I wish I did.”

Elyse reflected on her past with Jayden, realizing how many things hadn’t made sense. She had never noticed that he was pretending to be crippled. The man she married was perfectly healthy. But he didn’t trust her. This reality suffocated her.

Overwhelmed, she began to sob loudly. Tracy, having returned, tried to comfort her.
