Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Vicky Was Reprimanded

Darren was very indifferent. He replied to Vicky's question, "If you had listened to me, you'd have retained your position as the concertmaster. But you just wouldn't listen. Bring your

down first, okay?" He had earlier reminded Vicky to put on a jacket instead of a thin dress should the weather get cold.

Yet his thoughtful suggestion and help was seen as meddling in her affairs. Darren kept his opinion to himself, he shouldn't have meddled in her business.

Vicky was full of resentment. She sneered, "Am I wrong? You help Elyse because you like her, He gave a cold smile as he said, "Seems like you are no longer as awesome as you seemed to right?" Darren was vexed. Why would she say a thing like that?

be. You are no different from normal people now. You are the concertmaster and your health is paramount. But your stubbornness made you end up with a fever on our first date of the tour. You hold grudges against Elyse. You feel she stole your position as the concertmaster from you, didn't you? You should blame yourself instead of Elyse. You didn't value this tour, so you were replaced with someone who did." Vicky trembled, she was not willing to accept she was to blame

Furious, she retorted, "I'll deliver, even if I'm sick. I've been in such a situation and trust me, I

delivered of course."

Darren said with a nod, "Yes. I know you've had such an experience in the past, but you had only stood on the stage for three minutes. The case is different here, you will perform with a lot of people. Can you cope for two hours?"

His eyes were full of disappointment. "Or do you intend to pass out in the course of the performance? Do you want to embarrass our orchestra before the media? Say you don't care, do you think we don't too?"

Those words switched off Vicky's arrogance. She leaned against the wall in physical weakness. She wasn't sure how long she could endure when she mounted the stage, especially in her condition.

She was unhappy coupled with the fact that the person she hated the most, Elyse had replaced her

Darren looked at the wall clock. "You'd better pray it went well:" With her mouth twisted, she said

"Are you scared it won't go well? I thought you had so much confidence in Elyse?"

Darren couldn't hold back his displeasure any longer. He said coldly, "Do you think Elyse would be happy to take up your role? Have you thought about the stress and inconvenience this must have caused her? She had to go through the troubles of memorizing the blocking and other etiquettes barely a quarter of an hour before the performance started."

Vicky was speechless. She sat everyone out from municating with her.

With anger surging in his heart, Darren picked up his violin and went to the backstage. Their performance was about to begin. He had hoped it went well. Elyse glanced at the audience who walked in one after the other from the corner of the stageNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

where the manager had led her to. The manager carefully explained every step, pointing to every position. She noticed Elyse was nervous. She said to her, "Don't be nervous, just enjoy the stage." Elyse couldn't believe it, she looked at her in disbelief. Her heart beat faster every time she looked She encouraged herself, "I'll enjoy it." The audience arrived one after another and made themselves fortable. Clive and Peyton

who had e after Jayden could not contain their excitement. "Can you find your wife in the crowd?"

Clive sat straight and said, "I'm not interested in classical music, but since your invited me, I'll watch it this once."

Jayden couldn't stand the two friends he had. "Just go ahead and watch it. It really is a waste for someone like you that doesn't value

Clive retorted, "You don't like this kind of music either. Didn't you make a last-minute research so as to get relevant information on it?"

"Why exactly are you both here?" Jayden asked as he helplessly touched his forehead.

To watch your wife perform," they both chorused. Jayden wanted to ask them to leave when the performance began.

They paused to watch the performance. Clive noticed Elyse was not there, so he asked, "Where is your wife? I have not seen her, have you?"

Peyton too searched. He added, "I can't see her too. Jayden, have you seen her?"

There was no sign of Elyse whatsoever. Has something bad happened? Jayden worried for her.
