?<strong>Chapter 521:</strong>
Dorothy gazed at Jayden with a look that could pierce the heart. With her bony finger extended, she first pointed at Jayden’s legs and then at his chest. “You look able-bodied, but inside, you’re not well,” she said.
Jayden met her gaze without flinching. After a moment of tense silence, he said, “Get some rest. I’ll leave you to it.”
Dorothy watched him for a while without a word. Then, shey back down on the bed.
“Rest well,” Jayden said, holding Elyse’s hand, and then walked out of the ward.
Elyse turned her head and studied Jayden’s expression, concerned that he might be upset with Dorothy. In reality, he wasn’t all that angry; he simply felt that Dorothy was in need of a CT scan on her head.
Upon their arrival at Morgan’s ward, Elyse approached Morgan’s bed.
Jayden approached her. Seeing the worry etched on Elyse’s face, he took her hand and said, “Don’t fret. She just fainted from mood swings.”
Elyse nodded quietly. “I never imagined Morgan was J, the one we’ve been searching for. But she has amnesia and doesn’t remember anything from before.”
“Just because she forgot everything doesn’t mean she won’t rememberter. I’ll find someone to help her recover her memories.” Jayden believed that once Morgan’s memories returned, the hidden truths of the past woulde to light.
Elyse nodded once more and remarked, “I need to have a conversation with Dorothyter. There are many questions swirling in my mind.”
“She might be asleep again.”
Elyse sighed. “I’ll have to wait for another chance then.”
It was rare for Dorothy to be coherent, and Elyse had so many questions about her parents, Jazmine and Rickey.
Jayden’s phone rang, breaking the moment. He answered it, and Driscoll’s voice came through urgently. “The security guard called, Mabel tried to break into the vi with a kitchen knife, ranting about getting her mother back.”
“Interesting. Did Lannye?” Jayden asked, amused.
“No, he didn’t,” Driscoll replied.
“Tell Mabel that if Lanny doesn’t show up, she won’t see Glenda,” Jayden said calmly.
Driscoll agreed, “Got it! I’ll handle it now.”
“Wait, I’lle with you,” Jayden said, hanging up. He turned to Elyse. “Do you want toe with me? We’re making progress with Glenda.”
Elyse hesitated, touching her belly. “The doctor advised me to rest. I shouldn’t be moving around much.”
“I’ll arrange for a doctor and nurse to apany us. Don’t worry,” Jayden assured her, quickly making the arrangements.
Seeing Jayden’s efforts, Elyse felt her anxiety ease. They soon got into the car and headed home.
When they arrived, they saw Mabel wildly swinging the kitchen knife. She was screaming Elyse’s name and cursing Jayden.
The vi gate, reinforced after Shaun’s attack, stood firm against her assault. Her knife broke, but the gate remained unscathed.
“What a lunatic!” Jayden muttered, shaking his head. He then turned to Driscoll. “Keep an eye on her and don’t let her get near Elyse!”
“Understood,” Driscoll replied respectfully.
Elyse, seated in the car, observed Mabel quietly. Sensing Elyse’s gaze, Mabel abruptly turned, fixing her eyes on the back seat of the car.
Noticing her gaze, Jayden protectively held Elyse, his eyes hardening.
But Mabel couldn’t see inside the car, thanks to the tinted windows.
As the car drove past, Mabel gasped, clutching the broken knife.
“Jayden Owen! Give my mother back, or I’ll kill you!” she screamed, shing at the car.
The driver sped up, and Mabel missed, falling awkwardly. The knife slipped from her hand, spinning away.
Before she could get up, two bodyguards approached. One kicked the knife while the other grabbed Mabel, dragging her toward the vi.
Mabel could go mad with a kitchen knife in her hand and no one intervened.
After being restrained by the bodyguards and forcibly taken into the vi, panic set in. She struggled fiercely. “What are you doing? Let go of me! I want my mother!”
