Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 213 I Care About You

Jayden addressed the elderly woman with a question, "You previously mentioned Rickey Owen and Janet Lawrence; however, I couldn't locate them. Is there any additional information you can provide to help me narrow down my search?"

Upon hearing Jayden's inquiry, the old lady regarded him with a vigilant gaze, clutching Elyse even tighter to her side.

She exhibited profound apprehension, fearing Jayden's intentions of separating her from Elyse. Elyse looked painful. The old lady held her too tightly!

Jayden attempted to persuade the old lady by highlighting Elyse's long-standing sorrow. "Elyse has endured considerable sadness over the years. Although she now has parents, their treatment of her has been less than ideal. Sometimes, I even doubt if Elyse truly belongs with them as their daughter."

He gently coaxed the old lady, saying, "Madam, surely you don't wish to cause Elyse further sadness, do you?"

The old lady's initial vigilance gradually dissolved. Embracing Elyse tightly once more, she

conceded, "Take her away. Those who brought her here are not good people. Her true parents are kind individuals!"

Elyse found herself perplexed, convinced that the old lady's mental affliction had resurfaced. However, Jayden held a differing perspective.

The old lady seemed to possess crucial information, yet her struggles with a mental illness hindered her ability to articulate it clearly.

"Madam, what's your name?" Jayden asked.
