Joanna's Cousin
Jayden whisked Elyse off to the helicopter, which promptly soared towards the city's premier hospital.
Peyton, having been alerted earlier, had made all the necessary preparations at the hospital and successfully suppressed any news of the incident to prevent investigations.
Doctors immediately rushed Elyse to the emergency room upon her arrival on a hospital bed.
At the end of the queue, Peyton performed a swift check and confirmed Elyse was not in
immediate danger, which prompted Jayden to make his exitContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Where are you headed? Won't you stay by Elyse's side?" Peyton inquired.
Looking down, Jayden held a purple rubber band, Elyse's, which had slipped from her hair as he had carried her
"There's something I need to handle before she wakes," he explained.
Although Peyton didn't attempt to detain him, he eyed Jayden's legs critically and warned, "Stay under the radar. The Owen family has noticed your search for Elyse. My contacts tell me Brook is monitoring you. Have they figured out the truth about your legs yet?"
"What does it matter if they have?" Jayden retorted dismissively.
"Have you lost your senses? We've concealed that for an entire year!" Peyton argued, trying to
persuade him. "The culprit behind the car accident hasn't been caught. They're still lurking in the shadows, waiting We need to draw them out. You should maintain a low profile until we're absolutely certain of your situation!"
Jayden stood with his back to Peyton for a few moments before departing
Peyton sighed internally, unsure if his words had made any impact. He knew well that Elyse's, condition profoundly affected Jayden. It was crucial to ensure her recovery soon, or Jayden might lose himself completely
After receiving treatment overnight, Elyse woke up around noon the following day. Her eyes fluttered open to find Driscoll by her side.
"Driscoll? Is that you? Am I still dreaming?" she murmured weakly, her hand trembling as she reached out to him.
Driscoll quickly clasped her hand and reassured her with concern, "Yes, it's me You're not dreaming. You're safe now.

hoping to ease her worry about Jayden's absence.
Elyse then closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep
When she awoke again in the afternoon, she found Jayden in his wheelchair, a book in
hand.
The soft afternoon sunlight bathed him in a gentle glow. Watching him for several moments, she couldn't resist reaching out to tug at his clothes.
Jayden closed his book and tightly held her fingers, asking softly, "Are you feeling better?" After pondering for a moment, Elyse said, "I'm hungry. I want to eat
somethingno
Observing her earnest expression, Jayden replied, somewhat helplessly, "There's porridge. You can start with that."
Helped into a sitting position, Elyse gazed at Jayden, feeling groggy. Accepting the bowl of
porridge from him, she murmured, "I thought I saw you come to rescue me."
Jayden looked up briefly but remained silent.
"But I'm not sure it was you, because it seemed like you were carrying me."
Jayden pressed his lips together, as if to speak, but then held back. "It

While she was eating, Peyton dropped by to check on her. "Nothing serious. Rest well today, and

In the evening, Jayden stepped out to take a call and didn't return to the ward. As Elyse sat resting

The door opened to reveal a young man, strikingly good-looking in an almost delicate way. "Who are you?" Elyse inquired, not recognizing him.
The man smiled politely and introduced himself, "My name is Kieran Foster. I'm Joanna's cousin. I should have introduced myself sooner, but I've been tied up with family matters."
Upon hearing he was Joanna's cousin, Elyse's expression clouded. She vividly remembered her abduction by Joanna. How could the Foster family be unaware of the outrageous acts committed by one of their own?
