<strong>Chapter 1430:</strong>


    He hurried back to Elyse, his toneced with concern. “Did he trouble you in any way?”


    Elyse shook her head. “No, but he did share something disturbing.”


    “What’s that?” Jayden probed.


    With a hesitant pause, Elyse replied, “He saw a woman’s silhouette at the hospital. He thinks it might have been Tracy.”


    Jayden’s eyebrows shot up, prompting her to continue.


    Elyse’s expression was fraught with concern. “Tracy showing up at the hospital… She wasn’t there out of concern for Shaun, was she? If she was indeed there, and not for Shaun, then she must havee for…” She trailed off, leaving the name unsaid, yet Jayden caught on immediately.


    “You think Tracy went to the hospital aiming for Dolores?” he concluded bluntly.


    Elyse bit her lip and nodded.


    Jayden fell silent for a moment before speaking again. “It’s usible. Her appearance likely spells out her intentions. She’s targeting those who’ve wronged her. I can’t see any other reason why she wouldn’t approach you directly.”


    “No way, impossible!” Elyse shot back, her voice thick with disbelief. “Tracy would never do something like that. She has a kind soul.” The tension in her voice hung heavily in the air, a clear sign of her struggle toe to terms with the usation. Jayden, sensing her turmoil, decided it was best not to push her further.


    He gently ced his hands on her shoulders, his toneden with regret. “I wish it weren’t true, Elyse. But all the evidence points to Tracy. She’s our main suspect now.”


    g?lnσν????s is where dreams unfold


    Tears welled up in Elyse’s eyes as she looked up at him, her voice wavering. “But you know Tracy, you know her heart. She couldn’t possibly be involved in something so heinous.”


    In response to her distress, Jayden softened his approach. “Perhaps she had to go to the hospital. Maybe she was just sick,” he offered, hoping to ease her mind.


    Grasping at this new thread of hope, Elyse brightened a bit. “Yes, that has to be it! She must be unwell. Tracy is gentle, a truly good soul.”


    Jayden rubbed her back in a soothing motion. “You’re right. Let’s not dwell on it anymore, okay? Try to eat something. You’ve barely touched your food.”


    Elyse let out a heavy sigh. “I’m just not in the mood.”


    “No dice. If you don’t eat, I’m not ying nice.” His tone was half-teasing, but his hand moving under her skirt was not.


    Elyse gasped, a mix of surprise and irritation. “What are you doing? Stop that!”


    “Eat up and be good, or you’ll regret it,” Jayden replied, his voice calm but firm.


    Elyse shot him a re, then reluctantly picked up her fork.


    Seeing her start to eat, Jayden allowed himself a moment of relief. The Tracy situation was a gnarled mess, but he couldn’t let it spoil Elyse’s meal.


    “I’m going to have a word with Shaun,” Jayden announced, rising from his seat.


    Elyse nodded and continued to eat in silence.


    Jayden stepped out to find Shaun lingering by the door, his posture one of deep contemtion. Annoyed by his presence, Jayden delivered a sharp kick to his rear.


    “Ouch!” Shaun yelped, tumbling to the floor.


    Jayden’s expression twisted with distaste at Shaun’s clumsy reaction. As Shaun rubbed his sore backside and stood, heined, “What was that for?”
