Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 275 Mom, Did You Drug Me

After waiting in the private room for what felt like ages, there was still no sign of Glenda, so Elyse went out to go look for her.

She was making her way down the corridor when Glenda suddenly rounded the corner and rushed towards her. Confused, Elyse asked, "Where have you been? What took you so

Glenda nodded. "Yes. I didn't want anyone to interrupt us. Here, have some water. You must be thirsty!"

She shoved the glass of water at Elyse, who hesitated for a moment.

Knowing that Glenda was never this nice to her, Elyse felt extremely wary. However, after mulling over things for a while, she figured that Glenda likely just wanted to ask her for help with Mabel's issue; and if Glenda wanted her help, then she couldn't hurt her, right?
