?<strong>Chapter 446:</strong>
Elyse held Dorothy’s hand tightly, her voice filled with concern as she said, “Take your time. I won’t leave.”
Dorothy’s eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to speak. “Find J… She has the evidence.”
After speaking, Dorothy seemed to lose all her strength. She gasped for breath, looking as if she might faint at any moment.
Jayden leaned in closer and asked urgently, “What kind of evidence? What is it about?”
Dorothy’s entire body trembled, and her tongue seemed heavy. She managed to whisper, “Evidence of Lanny murdering…”
Elyse was stunned. Could Lanny really have killed someone? It made sense now why they wanted Dorothy dead. She knew too much.
Dorothy appeared to want to say more, but she was too weak. Shey back on the bed with her eyes closed, panting heavily.
“Rx, you need to rest. The information you gave us is crucial. We’ll find it,” Elyse said quickly, hoping Dorothy could hear her.
She couldn’t tell if Dorothy heard her, but her breathing gradually steadied. Her eyes remained closed as she seemed to fall asleep.
“They really killed someone. What should we do now? Should we find out who the victim is?” Elyse asked Jayden as they left the ward.
She looked at him, her eyes full of confusion and worry.
Jayden stared back at her and asked seriously, “If Lanny and Glenda reallymitted murder, even if we uncover the truth, would you turn them in?”
“What?” Elyse was taken aback, unable toprehend the question.
Jayden repeated calmly, “Even if Lanny and Glenda were murderers, they are also your uncle and aunt. Would you really call the police on them?”
Elyse suddenly realized she couldn’t answer.
Anticipating her hesitation, Jayden didn’t press for an answer. He had no personal ties to Lanny and Glenda, unlike Elyse. He could investigate who they had killed and why they were so desperate to silence Dorothy.
Seeing Elyse’s dilemma, Jayden said gently, “Let’s go home first. We have time. Even if you decide to involve the police, I need time to gather evidence.”
Elyse nodded and left with Jayden, her mind racing with thoughts.
On the way back, she noticed a pharmacy and remembered her recent nausea. She began to worry she might be pregnant. Looking at Jayden, she wanted to ask him what he would do if she were pregnant.
After much thought, she hesitantly said, “By the way, you haven’t always used condoms. What if I’m pregnant?”
Jayden stared at her seriously and asked, “Do you want a child?”
Elyse was taken aback, unable to process the question. “Huh?”
Jayden looked at her thoughtfully and said, “You’ve finished thepetition today. We can make up for lost time.”
Blushing, Elyse replied shyly, “No, I’m tired today. I don’t feel like having sex.”
Jayden raised an eyebrow and said, “Tired? But you didn’t have to do much work.”
Feeling embarrassed, Elyse nced at the silent driver. She closed her eyes, avoiding Jayden’s gaze. All he ever thought about was sex!
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Jayden sighed and stopped teasing her.
Earlier today, he had visited the Owen Group. They were upset about his founding of his ownpany and even demanded that he hand over the Bayzee Group to them. It was a rather ridiculous request.
Jayden had been very busy recently since the exposure of his involvement with Bayzee Group. Even though he wanted to be intimate with Elyse, he was too exhausted.
When they returned home, Elyse sat down on the sofa while Jayden went to the study to work.
Driscoll was busy in the kitchen.
Suddenly, Elyse thought about buying a pregnancy test.
Living in the vi district meant that the pharmacy was quite far away. If she went out now, Driscoll would notice, and she couldn’t let anyone know until she was certain.
After thinking it over for a while, she decided that she would sneak out to buy a pregnancy test tomorrow.
With her mind made up, she headed upstairs.
