?<strong>Chapter 380:</strong>
Jayden narrowed his eyes. “That person must be Kaelyn. After all, Kaelyn was a celebrity too, increasing the odds she’d be at the TV station.” He couldn’t imagine anyone else harboring such animosity towards Elyse.
With renewed purpose, Jayden dialed a number and said to the phone, “Find Kaelyn Bet. Bring her in no matter what.” Gavin, witnessing the scene, offered a hopeful thought. “At least we can track down the culprit.”
Jayden’s face hardened. “Ipletely missed that woman. It was my bad.” Gavin attempted to soothe him. “I can tell how much you care about Elyse. She’s lucky to have you.”
Jayden remained silent for a moment before inquiring about Elyse’s condition in the studio. “Elyse is set topete in the Champions Cup,” Gavin replied sincerely. “With the first round just days away, I hope she recovers quickly and achieves her dream.”
Jayden respected Gavin’s concern. Reaching the hospital, Jayden spotted Theo by the operating room doors. To his utter surprise, it was Theo who had saved Elyse. A dark cloud descended upon Jayden’s face. Thinking that his wife was rescued by the man who clearly desired her, a cocktail of emotions swirled within him.
Theo, equally stunned by Jayden’s presence, had his own agenda. He’d hoped saving Elyse would guarantee her unwavering attention upon waking. Jayden’s appearance threw a wrench in his ns. Theo sneered at Jayden’s wheelchair. “You’re so useless. You wouldn’t have been able to save her.”
Jayden clenched his fists but kept silent. This time, Theo was the hero, leaving Jayden in his debt. His voiceced with ice, Jayden responded. “If you need anything in the future,e to me. Now leave. My wife doesn’t need you around.”
Just as Jayden was about to retort, his phone buzzed. After listening intently, he spoke with chilling indifference. “Perhaps you should settle this with Kaelyn.” Theo’s blood ran cold. Could Kaelyn be involved?
“I just received word,” Jayden continued. “Kaelyn boarded a ne and left. Do you believe it’s a coincidence? You can ask her yourself.” Theo grasped the implication. “Are you saying Kaelyn poisoned Elyse?” “Precisely,” Jayden confirmed. “Kaelyn wants Elyse dead.”
“Impossible. Kaelyn wouldn’t go that far, no matter how much she dislikes Elyse,” Theo vehemently denied the usation. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing more to say,” Jayden stated coolly. “Leave. I’ll handle this.”
Sensing Theo’s defiance, Jayden countered. “When Elyse wakes up, she’ll want to see me, not you. Spare yourself the embarrassment and leave.” Unable to bear the tension any longer, Gavin stepped in.
“Sir,” Gavin interjected, “why not investigate this Kaelyn woman and see if she truly intended to harm Elyse?” Confused and troubled by Kaelyn’s potential motive, Theo opted to leave for answers. He needed to confront Kaelyn and get some rity.
With Theo gone, Gavin sighed as he looked at the still-lit operating room sign. “Why does Elyse have such rotten luck? I just brought her here for a show filming. Who could have predicted this?” A worried crease appeared on Jayden’s forehead. “She’s like a delicate flower who needs my protection. She can’t be alone. Anyone could hurt her.”
Inside the operating room, Peyton worked tirelessly to stabilize Elyse’s erratic heartbeat. Despite his efforts, she remained unconscious. “Keep monitoring her vitals,” Peyton instructed his team. “I’ll have a word with the family.”
Exiting the room, Peyton approached Jayden with a grim expression. “Do you know what Elyse ingested? Has it been analyzed? Knowing the toxin is crucial for treatment.” Jayden shook his head. “Samples are already at the testing agency. They’re working around the clock to get results.”
