NovelEnglishChapter 502:
Hearing the voice, Elyse slowly opened her eyes and asked in a soft voice, “Irving, why are you here?”
Now that Elyse was awake, Irving hurried over to her side and, with a concerned touch to her belly, he
stammered, “Are—are you pregnant? Is it true? How far along are you? Could you actually have the baby next
month?”
His barrage of questions brought a smile to Elyse’s face. She gently patted the back of Irving’s hand and
responded, “Irving, pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks. How could | possibly give birth next month?”
Irving scratched his hair, embarrassed. “Oops, I'm just too excited.”
He then turned, pointing to Clive who stood behind him, and asked with a hint of annoyance, “Is this your
husband? Did he get you pregnant?”
Clive, looking rather helpless, reiterated, “I'm really not her husband. You've got it all wrong.”
With a sullen turn, Irving asked, “He isn't?”
Elyse shook her head. “No, he’s a friend of my husband.”

Irving shot Elyse a piercing look, slumped into the chair, and demanded, “Where's your husband? Tell him to
chere. | need to speak with him.”
“He’s in the next room over,” Elyse responded, her eyes wide with sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Irving leapt to his feet and strode toward the next ward.
Clive scurried after him, worried Irving might harm Jayden, especially since Jayden was defenseless.
As they entered the adjacent ward, Irving caught sight of Elyse’s husband. Realizing Jayden was in a coma, his
anger subsided somewhat. Approaching the bedside, he inquired, “What happened to him?”
Clive, anticipating Irving's impulsive nature, quickly interjected, “He was injured.”
Irving frowned, puzzled. “How?”
“It's complicated, but he took a risk to save Elyse,” Clive added after a brief pause, implying there was some
good in Jayden. “He’s not all bad.”
Irving nodded slowly, digesting the information, then asked, “When is he expected to wake up?”

“It could be any moment now.” Clive glanced at the clock on the wall, noting that it had been about five hours
since the surgery. Jayden could indeed regain consciousness soon.
Irving fell silent, his gaze fixed on Jayden for an uncomfortably long stretch. Abruptly, he struck Jayden across
the face while Clive was momentarily distracted.
A chill of fear ran down Clive’s spine, drenching him in cold sweat. He blurted out, “What are you doing? You hit
him!”
Irving's eyes burned with indignation as he retorted, “Elyse is climbing the ladder of her career, but now she’s
pregnant. Doesn't he deserve that slap?”
Clive opened his mouth to argue, but he paused when he saw Jayden’s eyelids flutter. “He’s waking up! I'll get
the doctor!” he exclaimed, darting out of the room.
Left alone with Jayden, Irving smirked and whistled. “A slap woke you up? Maybe what you need is a good
beating.”
Jayden, his mind a fog, took a moment before asking uncertainly, “Who are you?”
“I'm your worst nightmare,” Irving snapped back, rudely.
This left Jayden stunned. After a brief pause, his expression turned lethal. “Say that again.”

Irving was already seething, and he was about to escalate the situation when Clive burst back into the room with
a team of doctors and nurses, effectively halting the brewing storm between him and Jayden.
The exam confirmed Jayden was unharmed. After the medical team departed, his thoughts immediately turned
to Elyse. With a palpable sense of urgency, he inquired, “Where's Elyse? Is she all right?”
Upon hearing her name, Clive and Irving exchanged looks, their expressions laden with complexity.
Jayden, puzzled by their silence, sensed their reactions spelled trouble, perhaps more serious than he feared.
Striving to maintain his composure, Jayden probed further, “Where is Elyse? | saved her, didn’t I? Why hasn't she
cto see me?”
Irving bristled at the question. The idea that Jayden expected a pregnant Elyse to visit was preposterous to him.
Annoyed, he retorted, “Elyse is in the next ward over. If you want to see her, you'll have to go there yourself.”
Ignoring the doctor's earlier cautions, Jayden, unable to contain his emotions any longer, wheeled himself to
Elyse’s ward.
He quietly opened the door to find her sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, her eyes gently closed.
He approached her bedside and took her hand, yearning to speak. Yet, his voice failed him.
Just then, Elyse sensed his presence. Her eyes fluttered open, landing on an anxious Jayden.
Noticing him still in his wheelchair, she asked nonchalantly, “You can walk, can’t you? Why are you still in the
wheelchair?”
