Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 288 Temporary Lucid State

The elderly woman remained silent in response to Jayden's question, her focus fixated on the phone. But when she laid eyes on Glenda, her expression transformed into one of shock. "Glenda! Give back my daughter! Give her back!" Her voice cracked as she snatched the phone from Jayden's grip, tears streaming down her face.

Jayden watched in astonishment as the woman clutched the phone tightly, her gaze piercing Glenda with accusation.

Approaching cautiously, Jayden inquired, "Your daughter? I can help you find her. What's her name?"

The woman's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope at Jayden's offer. "Can you truly help me find her?" she asked

Jayden nodded reassuringly.

After a moment of contemplation, the woman spoke softly. "My daughter's name is Janet Lawrence."

'Acknowledging the information, Jayden affirmed, "Alright, I'l help you locate

Suddenly, the woman gripped Jayden's hand tightly, her eyes brimming with tears. "Find my daughter and keep her safe. Someone wants to kill her, and I can't let them find her. Otherwise,

they'll..." Her voice faltered as she succumbed to another wave of tears, her sorrow evident

through the streaming tears.

Jayden waited patiently until the elderly woman had somewhat posed herself before gently probing, "Who wants to harm your daughter?"

With a trembling finger, she pointed at the phone, where Glenda's face stared back from the screen. Anguish etched on her features, she seemed reluctant to revisit painful memories. With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes and whispered, "Murderer! She's a murderer. She killed my daughter!"

Jayden was left stunned, grappling with the weight of her accusation and uncertain of its validity. Acting swiftly, he took the phone from her trembling grasp, concerned that revisiting the video might agitate her further.

He motioned to a nearby nurse, who approached and gently guided the elderly woman back to her room to rest.

As she followed the nurse, the elderly woman paused, a sudden curiosity gleaming in her eyes as. she turned back to Jayden.

"Young man, what's your name?" she inquired, her voice gentle yet filled with urgency.

Jayden was caught off guard by the question-it was the first time she had asked for his name. "Jayden Owen," he replied, slightly taken aback.

"Jayden," the elderly woman repeated softly to herself, a hint of nostalgia coloring her tone. Then,

with a wistful smile, she remarked, "It's a good name."

She paused, her gaze fixed on Jayden. "Are you Elyse's husband?" she inquired once more.

"Yes, I am," Jayden affirmed with a nod.

Unbeknownst to him, a subtle warmth and affection softened his typically stoic demeanor as he spoke.

Observing this transformation, a rare smile graced the elderly woman's face. "Then you must take good care of her. She's had a challenging life. Don't let her suffer."

Before Jayden could respond, he noticed a remarkable change in the elderly woman's eyes-they were no longer blank but clear. She had regained her sanity!

However, the moment was fleeting. Her eyes darkened once more, and she began to falter, needing the nurse's support to

Tobin, noticing the sudden change, exclaimed in surprise, "She's back to her senses!" Recalling the doctor's earlier explanation, Jayden retrieved his phone and played the video of Glenda. "The doctor mentioned she might experience a temporary lucid state after a stimulus." Tobin was taken aback. "But Glenda was the one who triggered her. Does that mean Glenda caused her mental illness?"

"1m not certain, but we can't rule out the possibility," Jayden replied thoughtfully. As he pondered,NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

he saw it was a call from Driscoll.

Answering with urgency, Driscoll's voice sounded relieved. "Thank goodness, Mr. Owen, you

finally answered! Mrs. Owen saw the news online and was so distressed that she fainted. We're at

the hospital now."

Jayden's brow furrowed in concern as he asked, "What happened?"

Driscoll swiftly briefed Jayden on the situation and sent him the hospital address.

Without delay, Jayden left the nursing home and hurried to the hospital. Upon arrival, he found Elyse still unconscious in the ward.

Peyton, standing by her bedside, was absorbed in his notebook. Upon noticing Jayden's arrival, he voiced his frustration, "Your wife collapsed. Why did it take you so long to get here?" Ignoring Peyton's accusatory tone, Jayden rose from the wheelchair and approached Elyse with deep concern etched on his features. Observing her pallid plexion, he anxiously inquired, "Is she going to be alright?"

Peyton explained, "She merely fainted. However, the bination of excessive sleeping pills taken yesterday, coupled with lack of rest and recent stress, overwhelmed her."

Jayden sighed. "I've tried to persuade her to stay home and rest, but she refused."

Peyton nudged Jayden gently and offered advice, "You really need to take better care of her."
