?<strong>Chapter 595:</strong>


    Elyse made her way back to her ward, her thoughts swirling as she tried to make sense of the conversation she just had with Mabel. After a brief rest, she found herself drawn to Jayden’s room, as if seeking sce in his presence.


    A flicker of warmth danced in Jayden’s eyes as he saw her approach. He closed hisptop, extending his hand toward her with a weing gesture. Elyse’s face lit up with a smile, her eyes reflecting her delight at seeing him.


    Jayden wrapped her in his arms, his voice filled with concern. “Are you feeling cold? Did you wear enough warm clothes?”


    “I’m okay,” Elyse replied softly, though the chill in her fingers suggested otherwise.


    Jayden, however, wasn’t convinced. He took her hands in his, feeling the coldness in them.


    “Peyton mentioned you’re not in the best of health right now. You need to take good care of yourself for a while.”


    Elyse pouted, countering, “I’ve bundled up as much as I can, but it doesn’t seem to help. What else can I do?”, Jayden pulled her closer, gently pinching her cheek. “Have you been eating properly? You’ve lost weight.”


    Elyse gazed at Jayden, seeing the genuine concern etched on his face. His affection for her was unmistakable, and their time together had brought them closer, but she still couldn’t gauge the depth of his feelings for her. Despite her uncertainties, Elyse was wholeheartedly devoted to him.


    Perhaps it was her intense love that made her unable to overlook any imperfections in their rtionship. It pained her that he couldn’t fully open up to her.


    As she looked at Jayden, she couldn’t resist touching his face, pondering how much love was appropriate in a rtionship. Was it a blessing or a curse to love someone so deeply?


    After what seemed like an eternity, Elyse asked softly, “Can you share your past with me? Tell me something about it.”


    Jayden blinked, holding her hand that gently caressed his face, trying to warm her cold fingers. “Why do you want to delve into my past? Those things have already happened, and I couldn’t alter any of it. Do you really need to remember them?” he replied.


    Elyse nodded earnestly, replying, “I believe it’s crucial.


    I wasn’t part of your past, so I don’t understand how your views on certain things were shaped. If you tell me about your past, I can understand you better.”


    Jayden embraced her tightly and said, “It doesn’t matter. Just let bygones be bygones.”


    “Why do you think it doesn’t matter?” Elyse asked curiously, her brow furrowing.


    Jayden, unsure of how to respond, said, “Because I faced those things alone. There’s no need to share it with anyone else. Besides, you wouldn’t understand even if I tell you.”


    Elyse fell silent. She realized Jayden wouldn’t open up because he believed she couldn’tprehend his experiences. Could she really not understand Jayden’s experiences and pains?


    In the stillness, Jayden hoped she wouldn’t pursue the matter further, just as she had retreated many times before when he rebuffed her inquiries.


    Elyse seemed to give up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Jayden looked up to see Elyse still watching him. He hugged her tighter and teased, “Am I so mesmerizing? How long will you keep staring at me?”


    But his flirtation was met with silence. Elyse said slowly, “I’m wondering if we’re truly in love.”


    “Of course. We share an unparalleled love,” Jayden dered confidently. Although they had lost their child, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t have children in the future.


    He envisioned having another child with her.


    In his thoughts of the future, he promised himself he would protect her and their child better, ensuring no harm woulde to them.


    While Jayden was lost in dreams of the future, Elyse counted down time, with different thoughts taking root.


    Now, she finally found her answers.
