Chapter 459

Chapter 459:

Elyse stared at Peyton as he babbled incomprehensibly. She approached the bedside and asked, “What's wrong

with him? Why is he talking nonsense?”

Before Jayden could answer, Peyton pointed at Elyse and giggled. “Like this one! She will drink with me!”

Jayden smacked Peyton's cheek, leaving him blacked out again.

With a stern look, Jayden reassured, “Don’t worry about him. It's just the anesthetic.”

Elyse’s expression grew complicated. Did Peyton often invite escorts to drink with him at nightclubs?

After waiting a bit, Peyton fell back asleep. Jayden exhaled deeply, relieved.

He then turned to Elyse and suggested, “You can go hfirst. I'll head hafter Peyton wakes up.”

Biting her lip, Elyse replied, “I want to go back with you.”

In a serious tone, Jayden warned, “Don’t stay withrecently. The killers might cback. I'm afraid you'll get

hurt because of me.”

“You're afraid I'll get hurt, so you want to keep your distance? If you're so capable, why can’t you catch them? |

can’t even go hwith you now,” Elyse said, feeling hurt.

Jayden massaged his forehead, struggling to explain the extent of the enemy’s knowledge about him. He had

even suspected that the enemy could be someone close to him.

“Just go hfirst. I'll have Driscoll pick you up,” Jayden finally said, choosing not to explain further. He pulled

out his phone and called Driscoll.

He didn’t feel the need to elaborate to Elyse; it would only make her worry more. Despite her concerns, she

would be powerless to change the situation. Thus, Jayden believed he didn’t have to explain to her.

Seeing that Elyse was visibly upset, Jayden looked at her intently for a long while and eventually relented. “Or

you can wait withand we'll go htogether.”

Elyse sensed Jayden’s concession. She wasn’t sure if he genuinely wanted her company or if it was merely a

compromise. But at least, for now, she felt less inclined to cry.

The two waited for over two hours until Peyton finally awoke.

Peyton yawned and inquired, “That was a good sleep. What tis it now?”

“It’s nine o'clock in the evening. You had surgery for two hours. You had a bone fracture in your shin,” Jayden

replied.

Reflecting on this, Peyton remarked, “So I'll have a holiday? That's amazing!”

Elyse, surprised by his reaction, asked, “Don’t you like your job?”

Peyton responded, “Actually, | wanted to be a scientist when | was a kid, not a doctor. If you don’t believe me,

ask Jayden.”

Elyse turned to Jayden.

Jayden responded with a hint of exasperation, “How would | know what your dream was? The only thing I'm

aware of is that you desired an attractive escort to drink with you while you were unconscious.”

Looking down at his shin, Peyton expressed his regret. “What a pity! | should be at a club drinking right now if it

weren't for this.”

Jayden had enough. “No clubs. Stay here.”

Peyton turned his face away, defiantly stating, “You can’t stop me.”
