Chapter 1428:

Velma remained behind, her tears falling silently now.

Shaun, clearly annoyed by the sobbing, shot Velma a look of disdain and dismissively turned his back on her.

At that moment, Driscoll walked to the elevator with a maid who pushed a cart loaded with food.

Realizing Elyse was still around, Shaun sprang up, eager to find her. Elyse was lounging against her headboard.

After Driscoll set the food on the bedside table, he and the maid exited.

Just as Elyse was about to dig in, Shaun barged into her room.

Startled, Elyse blurted out, “Why are you barging into my room?”

Shaun, misunderstanding her condition, said, “I was wondering why you hadn't cout to greet me. Looks like

you're not well.”

Embarrassed yet too shy to confess she was merely recovering from a night of passion with Jayden, Elyse rubbed

her nose and decided to play along with Shaun's assumption.

With a sigh of resignation, she asked, “So, when will you leave my room?”

Shaun exhaled deeply, his voice soft. “Don’t givethe cold shoulder. It's been ages since we've caught up. I'm

not keen on rushing out.”

Elyse, a bit startled by his tone, replied, “You okay? You're kind of givingthe creeps.”

Shaun waved off her concern. “It’s just that my mom’s meltdown in the living room was too much. Had to escape

the waterworks.”

Elyse, finding herself at a loss, simply stared back at him, bewildered. After a thoughtful pause, Shaun shifted

topics. “There's something important we need to talk about.”

Eager to change the subject, Elyse sipped her soup and asked nonchalantly, “What's on your mind?”

Shaun, his gaze distant, shared, “I can’t pin down the exact day, but recently, during an evening stroll in the

hospital garden, | spotted a woman. Something about her silhouette struck a chord.”

Elyse sipped her soup, the spoon gently clinking against the bowl. She leaned forward, a curious tilt to her head.

“So, you saw a silhouette that seemed familiar, and then what happened?”

“It felt too familiar, almost hauntingly so. My heart raced, and everything aroundjust faded. It was as if | was

losing myself to the memory.” Shaun clutched his chest, his frown deepening as he recalled the uneasy

heartbeats of that moment.

There was a heavy pause, laden with tension, before he continued. “My eyes were locked on her back, and then

this sharp, bitter pain pierced my heart, filled with sorrow.”

“What did you do next?” Elyse’s voice was soft, almost a whisper.

Shaun touched his throat, a gesture of uncertainty. “I wanted to shout to her, but my words were stuck. Instead,

my legs decided for me, racing towards her.”

His eyes clouded with confusion. “I just blurted out a name, and when she heard, she sprinted away and

disappeared into the crowd.”

Elyse looked up, her expression clouded with confusion. “What ndid you say?”

Shaun's fists tightened reflexively, his heart racing. He answered with a slight tremor, “Tracy. | said Tracy.”
