Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 45 A Call From Zandra

"Do you truly wish for me to stand?" Jayden inquired calmly.

Elyse nodded earnestly. "Absolutely. You were once able-bodied. Wouldn't you like to stand up

again?

Then, adopting a serious tone, she added, "Truly? You looked so striking in my dream. I was captivated by you."

Jayden lightly stroked his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips. She was indeed naive and easily swayed.

Shortly after, Driscoll returned with warm milk and placed it in front of Elyse.

"Thank you, Driscoll," said Elyse, Settling into her chair, she savored the milk, relishing its warmth. Observing her enjoyment, Jayden's appetite was piqued. He had eaten alone earlier, but seeing her delight in the milk now made him somewhat hungry. "Could I have a serving as well?" he requested...

Driscoll, aware of Jayden's lack of appetite earlier, was pleased to see his newfound interest. He promptly headed to the kitchen and returned with another glass of warm milk.

"Did you eat breakfast today?" Elyse queried.

"I woke up too early and had no appetite," Jayden explained.

Elyse chuckled. "Then you'd better join me for breakfast."

Jayden glanced at her, issuing a reminder. "We have a dinner party tonight. Try not to overdo it
