Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 340:

As Elyse learned that Morgan was alright, a lingering worry still clung to her. Gently, she brushed her hand

against Morgan's forehead, finding no trace of fever.

Standing upright, concern etched in her voice, she suggested, “Perhaps we should call a doctor.”

“No need. It’s an old affliction from a fall into a river stback, and I've been struggling with my health

since,” Morgan rose slowly, steadying herself with hands on her knees. “I'm feeling better now. Let's go. | also

want to eat cake.”

Reluctantly, Elyse conceded, guiding Morgan towards the table of refreshments.

In a sudden burst of shock and excitement, Tracy exclaimed, “Oh my! Look! Your sister has been arrested! What

on earth is happening? It’s quite shocking!”

Elyse, barely settled in her chair, nearly toppled over at the news. With a heavy heart, she inquired, “Is this

true?”

“Yes,” Tracy affirmed eagerly, thrusting the phone towards Elyse. “The police have issued a statement with

numerous charges, primarily related to drug use.”

After uttering those words, Tracy seemed to snap back to reality and inquired with suspicion, “Have you or your

parents noticed any unusual behavior from her lately?”

Elyse took the phone, scanning its contents meticulously. “I'm not sure,” she replied after absorbing the details.

Once she finished reading, she handed the phone back to Tracy.

Elyse’s mind raced, recalling her last encounter with Mabel in the basement. How long had she been in police

custody? Then a memory of Jayden’s cryptic words flickered in Elyse’s mind, stirring a suspicion that perhaps he

had orchestrated this.

Though her curiosity regarding Mabel’s arrest tugged at Elyse, an unexpected concern for Jayden surfaced.

Would his involvement bring danger upon him from the Owen family? Or worse, could Lanny and Glenda resort

to extrmeasures to harm Jayden once they becaware of it?

Taylor's presence in the study at that moment deterred Elyse from rushing to see Jayden, despite her burning

curiosity about whether it might spell trouble for him. She reluctantly suppressed her eagerness.

In a sudden realization, Tracy asked, “By the way, do your parents know that Mabel has been detained by the

police?”

Taking a deep breath, Elyse shook her head faintly. “I don’t know either.”

At the police station, Mabel stood clad in the stark uniform of the detained, her countenance a turbulent mix of

fury and bitterness. She traced her fingers along the cold metal frof her bed, her voice trembling with

sorrow. “Why am | arrested? Do you know who | am? I'm from the Lloyd family, and I'm Jayden Owen's sister. Are

you not afraid of upsetting him?”

For over an hour, Mabel’s cries reverberated through the station, her frustration reaching a boiling point. Unable

to tolerate it any longer, the policeman lashed out at her, saying, “How could Mr. Owen have such a relative as

you? Don't flatter yourself.”

Mabel’s complexion drained of color, her voice trembling with urgency as she vehemently asserted her

connection to Jayden. “I am Jayden Owen's sister-in-law. His wife is my elder sister. Releasethis instant! Or

prepare to face the consequences.”

Deeming her assertions as delusional, the policeman shut the door, unwilling to entertain her further. Seeing

this, Mabel’s panic surged. She clutched at the iron bars and yelled, “Don’t leavehere! Bring back the phone!

I'll call my sister. She will help me.”

Despite her relentless cries, Mabel’s pleas echoed unanswered, intensifying her panic with each passing

moment. She retreated to her iron bed, sinking onto its unforgiving surface. Seeking solace in a familiar habit,

she nervously bit her nails, a futile attempt to quell the rising tide of fear and uncertainty.

Confusion clouded her mind as she struggled to make sense of her situation. Recollections flooded her thoughts

- falling asleep in the basement only to awaken to the presence of Glenda and Lanny by her side. Glenda had

enveloped her in a comforting embrace, tears streaming down her cheeks, while Lanny’s eyes betrayed the

turmoil within, their redness speaking volumes of unspoken concern.

Caught in the surreal haze of the moment, Mabel could hardly distinguish reality from a dream. Yet she had

found solace in confiding her recent tribulations to Glenda, imploring her parents to seek vengeance on her

behalf. Drained by the ordeal, she had succumbed to exhaustion, slipping into slumber. Thad eluded Mabel

in her sleep until abruptly interrupted by the arrival of the police at her doorstep. Before she could fully

comprehend the situation, she had found herself shackled, her senses reeling from the sudden turn of events.

Fear gripped Mabel as confusion clouded her mind, unable to fathom the reason behind her arrest. Mabel

resorted to biting her nails until they broke, the pain dulled by the overwhelming fear gripping her. Tears welled

in her eyes as she whispered, “Mom, help me. | don’t belong here. I just want to go home.”

Meanwhile, in the hall of the police station, Glenda sat with tears streaming down her cheeks, her voice choked

with desperation. “Lanny, Mabel is your daughter. You must save her. If we don’t act now, her future will be

ruined.”

Lanny paced the floor with a heavy heart. “You've coddled her too much. With the police uncovering all these

wrongdoings, saving her now seems impossible, even if | wished to.”

Collecting herself, Glenda brushed away her tears. “You should seek help from Elyse. Her husband holds sway.

He'll surely find a solution.”

Lanny halted his pacing, a bitter smile playing on his lips. “Begging Jayden? You're truly naive. Haven't you

realized Jayden orchestrated everything in secrecy? He sent our daughter back, only for the police to swoop in

shortly after. He's avoiding getting his hands dirty.”

Glenda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Jayden? It’s impossible. He couldn’t possibly do such a thing.”
