Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 275 Mom, Did You Drug Me

After waiting in the private room for what felt like ages, there was still no sign of Glenda, so Elyse went out to go look for her.

She was making her way down the corridor when Glenda suddenly rounded the corner and rushed towards her. Confused, Elyse asked, "Where have you been? What took you soContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Glenda dodged Elyse's inquisitive gaze and muttered, "Oh, er, nothing."

Without even bothering to e up with a decent excuse for her absence, she suddenly grabbed Elyse's hand and dragged her into the elevator.

Elyse felt that something was off, so she tried to shake off Glenda's hand, but this only served to make the latter tighten her grip. Frowning, Elyse questioned, "Where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere we can talk alone." Wearing a fake smile, Glenda led Elyse out of the elevator when they made it to the seventh floor.

Glenda unlocked one of the rooms with her key card and beckoned at

Elyse to e in. Elyse glanced around the empty room in suspicion

and asked warily, "Mom, did you book a room just to talk with me?"

Glenda nodded. "Yes. I didn't want anyone to interrupt us. Here, have some water. You must be thirsty!"

She shoved the glass of water at Elyse, who hesitated for a moment.

Knowing that Glenda was never this nice to her, Elyse felt extremely wary. However, after mulling over things for a while, she figured that Glenda likely just wanted to ask her for help with Mabel's issue; and if Glenda wanted her help, then she couldn't hurt her, right?

So, she accepted the glass of water and took a sip.

The second her lips touched the glass, Glenda's eyes triumphantly. Wearing a smug smile, she

made Elyse sit in ach

Glenda then tried to strike up a conversation with Elyse as though she was a normal, loving mother. "How're things at work? Is everything going well?"

Elyse smiled to herself bitterly.

She was trending online because of her recent violin performances and had even been

interviewed by the local TV news station.

If Glenda actually cared about her, then she would've known about these things.

Even after all this time, Glenda still only paid attention to Mabel.

In the end, Elyse could only force a smile and say, "I'm good, Mom. Everything's going really well." Glenda asked a few more questions and Elyse answered them one by one, until she started to feel abit dizzy.

She shook her head in an attempt to stay alert, but her brain gradually started to wind down. She touched her forehead and asked in a slurred voice, "Did I not get enough sleep last night? I feel so sleepy..."

Seeing that, Glenda couldn't help but grin. She stood up and led Elyse to the bed, saying, "Here, take a nap. Anyway, I've already paid for the room."

At that moment, it dawned on Elyse that something was terribly wrong.

However, she was too sleepy to figure out what it was exactly. It was like her brain was shutting

down way too quickly... But why was this happening?!

Suddenly, she thought about the glass of water she just had.

The water must've been laced with some kind of drug!

Desperate to stay awake, Elyse bit down on her lower

But the sleepiness overwhelmed her. She tried to shout, but it came out as a whimper. "Mom, did you drug me?"

Elyse figured it out; Glenda had drugged her. Sure enough, Glenda said with a sneer, "You ruined my daughter's career. You owe her. I had to do something!"

Elyse's heart sank. Her own mother was willing to hurt her for the sake of her sister's career.

At that moment, she really wanted to ask Glenda whether she was her biological daughter or not. Why else did Glenda only love

But Elyse didn't have the chance to ask. She felt like she had cotton in her mouth, and her eyelids felt as heavy as lead. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep in bed.

Seeing that her work was done here, Glenda took out her phone and called W-

Mabel was very excited when she received Glenda's phone call. She couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, did you make it? Did you get Elyse to fall asleep?"

Wearing a placent smile on her face, Glenda said proudly, "Yes, < she is fast asleep. Now,

onto the next step of our plan."

"Mom, you're the best! I love you so much!" Mabel gushed excitedly, "You can leave the room now. The guy I picked will be there soon."

"Okay. I'll be right out." After hanging up the phone, Glenda turned around to take one last look at the sleeping Elyse before leaving.

Her expression turned vicious. "! raised you for decades, yet you ruined my daughter's career. You bitch!"

Glenda sneered at Elyse and then left the room without looking back.

Elyse lay in bed unmoving, a stray tear falling from her eye.

Meanwhile, in Jayden's house.

When Jayden got home from work, he found that Elyse was nowhere to be seen, so he asked Driscoll, "Where is Elyse?"

"She hasn't e home yet. The driver did report to me that her mother treated her to dinner at a hotel, so she's likely still there."

"Glenda? Took her out to dinner in a hotel?" Loosening his collar, Jayden immediately realized that something was wrong.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jayden asked, "Is the driver still with them?"

Driscoll nodded. "Yes, he's in the parking garage, waiting for Mrs. Owen's call."

Jayden's expression darkened. "Tell him to go and find Elyse right now. Make sure he sees her

with his own eyes before reporting back to me."

Driscoll arched his eyebrows in surprise. "Are you worried that her mother did something to her?" Jayden nodded. "Knowing Glenda, she'd never treat Elyse to dinner."

Driscoll was a little confused. "But it's normal for a mother to treat her daughter to dinner, right?" Jayden didn't answer. It was indeed normal for any mother and daughter to do so. But what if Glenda only had one daughter, Mabel?
