Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1517:

Elyse observed his vacant stare, feeling deep fear and debating whether to rush him to the hospital.

Shaun then spoke weakly. “I don’t actually have a girlfriend, do I?”

At a loss for words, Elyse chose silence.

“I’ve always believed I had a girlfriend who would eventually come for me,” Shaun murmured, “but she never appeared, and it left me anxious, wondering why she hadn’t come.”

Elyse, unsure of what to do, scratched her head.

“Just now, I recalled something—I don’t have a girlfriend.” Shaun looked sorrowful as he added, “At the wedding, you took her away, didn’t you?”

After a pause, Elyse, shocked, replied, “Is that all you recall? That I took your girlfriend away? What about events before that? Can you remember anything earlier?”

Confusion clouded Shaun’s eyes. “Before that—”

“Why would I take her without reason? Something significant must have happened at the wedding.” Elyse spoke gravely. “I hesitate to discuss the past—it’s vastly different from the illusions you hold. Reality is much harsher, and I don’t want to distress you.”

After a prolonged silence, Shaun asked softly, “Was I cruel to her before?”

“You were terrible,” Elyse responded coldly. “Your love was less than you believed. You neglected her, demeaned her, making her feel utterly worthless.”noveldrama

Shaun touched his face, realizing it was wet.

He was weeping.

Elyse observed Shaun’s tears, yet her heart remained untouched, her eyes radiating sympathy. I almost wish your memory wouldn’t return, considering the dreadful past deeds that might come with it.

“You were already feeling the weight of your actions before your memory faded, weren’t you?”

Shaun’s eyes slowly filled with tears. “Was I really such a terrible person?”

Instead of responding directly, Elyse shifted the topic. “You might not have treated your fiancée well, but I’m confident you never got intimate with Dolores. You were flawed but maintained your standards. You looked down upon Dolores.”

At Elyse’s words, Shaun’s Adam’s apple moved noticeably. “That’s comforting. Had I betrayed my girlfriend, I would be overwhelmed with self-disgust and wish for my own end.”

Elyse began to speak but only managed a sigh. She stood up. “Alright, try to rest. The doctor will arrive shortly with your medication.”

As Elyse was about to exit, Shaun called out to her, hesitantly parting his lips. “Has my girlfriend been here to see me?”

“Why do you ask?”

“I need to confirm something,” he replied awkwardly.

Elyse remembered the security footage showing Tracy had indeed spent some time in Shaun’s hospital room. She pondered whether to share this with him.

After a brief pause, Elyse decided. “Your relationship was troubled. Whether she visited or not, I cannot say for certain.”

“I feel she was here,” Shaun asserted.

“How can you be sure of that?”
