EuropeNovelChapter 196: Lanny made his way to the Psychiatry Department hoping to get suseful information from the doctor but cout empty-handed. Finally getting the whereabouts of that old woman, he found himself in the dark about her current location. With a poker face, he headed to the Inpatient Department.
After he arrived at the ward, Mabel greeted him in a sweet tone. Forced to wear a smile, Lanny walked over to her bed. "How are you feeling now?" He casually picked up the medical report from the bedside table and started to read.
Mabel, seeing him, saw her lifeline. She held him tightly and in a choked voice said, “Dad, I've missed you so much these days. I thought I'd never see you again." Glenda, watching Mabel's performance, pretended to wipe away tears, silently applauding her daughter for her acting skills.

Once Mabel fell asleep, Lanny took Glenda out of the ward. "What's going on? Why all the mystery?" Glenda asked, puzzled.
"I saw that old woman just now. She's been sent to a nursing home. But I don't know which one," Lanny said urgently. "You need to find out. We have to track her down or everything we've worked for will be ruined.” Glenda, taken aback, asked, “But why didn't you just kill her when you had the chance, instead of locking her up in a psychiatric hospital?" Lanny, his anger barely contained, lowered his voice. "I wanted to, but there was someone else who knew what happened that year. That person disappeared without a trace. I kept the old woman as bait, hoping that person would return." Glenda hesitated, then ventured, “But isn't that person likely dead since we've heard nothing at all?" "No way. I have a feeling that she's still alive," Lanny's eyes flashed with determination. "Regardless, we have to find that old woman." Glenda hesitated. Seeing her reluctance, Lanny sneered, "If you don't act, things will only get worse. And when they do, you and your daughter won't be living the high life anymore. No more shopping sprees, just a one-way ticket to jail." Magic begins at g al no v☐☐sGlenda's eyes widened at the thought of jail. That was out of the question. She couldn't end up there, and neither could her daughter. Glenda relented, "Fine, I'll try my best. But you need to be more involved in this.” "Of course, I will dig into it," he said, his sneer evident.
Glenda couldn't help but complain, "If only you'd sent Elyse away back then. Keeping her with us was a huge mistake and a major liability." "There's no use dwelling on that now," a ferocious look flashed in Lanny's eyes. He wouldn't hesitate to get rid of Elyse if necessary. After all, he wasn't about to give up his cushy life now.
After a shower, Elyse lay on the bed. When she heard the door open, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. The room was dim, and the only sound was the faint roll of a wheelchair. The closer it got, the faster her heart raced.
"I know you're not asleep," Jayden said, amused, as he climbed into bed beside her.
Elyse opened her eyes in surprise. “I was asleep. Why'd you wake me?" "You can go back to sleep later," Jayden replied. He pulled her close, and their lips met. His hands roamed, moving up her body. When he reached her breasts, he began to fondle them, coaxing them to firmness.
With every touch, her heart raced, and she could only hold his head and looked at him pitifully. "Jayden, please stop," Elyse pleaded, her voice small.

But Jayden buried his head in her chest. "Letenjoy this," he said hparsely, his desire evident.
She sensed a change in Jayden d lately. He interacted with her more frequently than ever before. With no choice, Elyse let him have his way.
But as he continued, she couldn't help but wonder how a disabled man like Jayden was taking charge in their intimate moments. Lost in her thoughts, she lowered her head. Jayden noticed and gently lifted her chin. "You're making a mistake again," he said, his tone meaningful. Confused, she met his gaze, noticing his sudden increase in intensity, almost like a raging storm.
