Chapter 254 Pointless Concern

Peyton felt a headache and said, "Don't you think you owe Elyse an explanation? She really cares

Jayden's expression was unreadable, showing little emotion. "You know the dangers I constantly face. I can't selfishly involve her in that."

Elyse was delicate, and Jayden felt it was his duty to protect her from the risks of his world, prioritizing her safety above everything..

Realizing Jayden's firm stance, Peyton stopped trying to change his mind and suggested, "I'll take care of Corrie. You should head home."

Jayden looked like he was about to argue, but Peyton cut him off, saying, "You're hurt as well, and you've neglected Elyse today."

Jayden fell silent, confronting the fact that he had indeed let Elyse down.
