Chapter 1081:

Elyse’s eyes welled with sorrow as Corrie reveled in her anguish. Elyse had never mentioned her miscarriage to anyone, but that silence didn’t mean the pain had faded. The wound remained deep and raw beneath the surface. She knew she lacked the strength to confront the monsters who had torn her world apart.

Rage surged through her. “Corrie, if you want to die, I’ll gladly help you!” Her voice was venomous, her eyes red with fury as she lunged forward, ready to end Corrie’s life. Before she could act, Corrie’s bodyguards quickly stepped between them. Jayden rushed to Elyse, grabbing her firmly to prevent her from doing something irreversible.

Elyse, rarely losing control, fought against Jayden’s hold. “Why are you stopping me? I need to avenge my child! Let me go!” Jayden held her close, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead to calm her. “Don’t let anger take over. You can’t do this, Elyse. Please, be calm.”

Despite his soothing words, Elyse refused to be pacified. Seeing no other choice, Jayden scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the ward before things escalated further. As they left, Corrie kept laughing. To Elyse, Corrie’s laughter felt like cruel mockery, a relentless reminder of her powerlessness. She was profoundly disappointed in herself. Her baby had been taken from her, and all she could do was watch, unable to prevent the tragedy.

Biting her lip to suppress the sobs threatening to escape, Elyse failed to stop the tears streaming relentlessly down her face. Jayden carried her into the corridor, gently setting her down, only to realize her face was already soaked in tears. She sat in a chair, wiping her cheeks, breathing deeply as if trying to regain control. “Go do what you need to. Don’t worry about me. I just need some time alone.”

Jayden knelt before her, taking her hand tenderly. “Don’t be sad. I’ll handle everything. I swear.” Elyse didn’t respond, her vacant eyes staring ahead, as though the light within her had been extinguished. The sight of her in such a state tore at Jayden’s heart. He leaned closer, his voice soft yet resolute. “Just give me a little more time. I’ll make sure you get the justice you deserve.”

But Elyse remained motionless, as if she hadn’t heard a word. With a heavy sigh, Jayden stood, his chest tight with sorrow, and headed back into the hospital room. Corrie noticed that Jayden had entered the hospital room alone and burst into wild laughter. “Jayden, you truly have no heart. The mere mention of that child sends Elyse into a frenzy, yet you remain as cold and composed as ever.” . . .
