NovelXXXChapter 596:
Elyse sat quietly with Jayden for a while before deciding to return to her room.
Despite her reluctance to leave, Jayden grabbed her hand, his voice tinged with a plea, “Please, stay witha
little longer.”
Elyse gently removed his hand with a calm smile. “I'm not feeling well. I'd love to head back to my ward and lie
down.”
Jayden frowned, his concern deepening as he tried to stand up. “You're not feeling well? I'll get a doctor to come
and check on you.”
Elyse shuddered, shoving him back onto the bed. “Just stay in bed and recuperate properly. You sustained way
more injuries than | did. If you don’t listen to me, | won't talk to you anymore.”
Jayden glared at her, feigning annoyance. “You won't talk toanymore? The nerve of you.”
Elyse snorted playfully. “You could give it a try.”
Jayden obediently lay back down, smiling softly. “Okay, your wish is my command. I'll remain here. I'm so scared
of my wife ignoring me.”

anything.
Between the two of them, she was always the one who made the compromises.

As Elyse was about to leave, she suddenly remembered her encounter with Mabel on the 17th floor. She paused
and turned back to Jayden. “Glenda is in the ER, and Mabel is waiting outside. | heard Morgan saying that Lanny
headed hearlier. | guess he must have gone back to meet Glenda.”
Jayden was a bit astonished but nodded. “Okay, got it!”
With that, Elyse left the room and headed back to her hospital ward. She lay down to rest, but her phone rang,
showing Tracy's non the screen. Concerned, Elyse quickly answered.
“Tracy, is Shaun giving you trouble again?”
“No, not at all,” Tracy replied. “I've recovered quite well and can be discharged now. | want to visit you.”
Elyse sighed in relief, her tone calm. “Tracy, I'll be out of the hospital in a couple of days.
There's no need to drop by. Besides, isn’t Shaun's crew always hanging around your villa? Don’t leave the house.
| don’t want you to be taken away by his men again.”
Tracy's voice quivered with sorrow. “To think something so terrible happened to you, and | wasn’t there to
support you. | feel utterly helpless, unable to aid or protect you.”
“Cheer up, girl. Knowing that you're safe at his all | need,” Elyse said, her voice filled with warmth. She
murmured softly, “Out of everyone in Watscar, you're the only one | can’t imagine parting with.”
“Wait, what? I’m not sure | heard that right,” Tracy responded, holding the phone closer to her ear, trying to pay
close attention.
Elyse brushed it off. “It's nothing important. Just focus on recuperating at home. | hope you'll be completely
recovered by the tI'm discharged from the hospital.”
Tracy nodded. “Alright, then. I'll wait for you at home.”
After ending the call, Elyse placed her phone under her pillow and tried to calm herself. The conversation with
Tracy had brought her to the brink of tears, making her want to pour out all the unfair treatment she had
endured.
But she held back, knowing that Tracy had her own struggles and didn’t need more burdens.

Elyse reminded herself that adults should learn to deal with their emotions independently.
Elyse had a restless night. When she finally woke up the next day, it was already late morning.
She hadn't slept well since losing the baby, her nights plagued by tossing and turning until exhaustion took over.
She got up and sat by the window, stroking her shoulders as she basked in the rare winter sunlight. Today’s sun
felt like a warm embrace, something she had longed for.
Just as she settled into her thoughts, Gavin entered the room with a radiant smile. “Elyse, guess who cto
visit you.”
Elyse turned around and saw Cody walking in, holding a bouquet of flowers. He wore a brown coat and a hat, and
behind him was Irving, carrying a bag full of gifts.
Seeing Elyse’s pale, sickly face, Cody felt a pang of sadness. He quickly walked over to her, handed her the
flowers, and crouched down beside her. “Congratulations on winning first place in the Champions Cup! I've never
been so proud of you.”
As Elyse held the flowers, tears welled up in her eyes. Her lips trembled as she asked, “Am | truly your pride?”
“Yes, you're my pride and joy,” Cody said calmly, gently stroking her head with his hand.
Gavin and Irving exchanged a look, and Irving stepped forward with the gifts. “Elyse, look. Mr. Tucker got all of
these gifts for you.”
