Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1568:

But Rickey was gone. Had he lived, Elyse’s path might have been gentler.

Jayden’s gaze drifted toward the woods, wondering what storms of emotion were brewing in Elyse’s heart. What path would she choose?

Deep in the wooded sanctuary, Elyse found her way to a solitary bench. As she sank onto it, a weary sigh escaped her lips. She tilted her head back, watching the branches sway gently in the breeze, nature’s silent lullaby calling to her weary soul.

Exhaustion crept over her like a gentle tide, and before long, sleep claimed her consciousness.

Her dreams transported her once again to that familiar void of darkness. This time was different—she stood neither lost nor afraid. After two decades of silence, words she’d kept locked away finally found their voice.

“Dad…” Her whisper rippled through the emptiness, and in response, a soft luminescence bloomed before her. The light slowly coalesced, taking on the unmistakable silhouette of a human form.

Warmth radiated from the ghostly figure, and Elyse’s eyes welled with tears, their redness betraying decades of buried grief.noveldrama

“Dad,” she called out again, her voice cracking under the weight of suppressed emotions.

The luminous figure stood before her, and somehow, she could sense the tender smile it emanated.

“Dad…”

The walls Elyse had built over the years crumbled in an instant. Every fiber of her being yearned to throw herself into her father’s embrace. All these years of solitude had carved deep channels in her soul. Her path had been a relentless uphill battle, each step heavier than the last.

She knew she had no parents, so she couldn’t afford the luxury of letting her guard down or relying on anyone else. Every step, every decision had been hers alone to bear.

But now, standing before this ethereal light, everything changed. Her father was here—even if only as a luminescent form in a dream, she was, in this precious moment, a daughter with a father once more.

An avalanche of emotions threatened to overwhelm her. She longed to share everything—her professional triumphs, the bitter sting of Glenda and Lanny’s machinations, and the unexpected gift of finding love with Jayden. Twenty years of unspoken words burned in her throat, desperate to be heard.

When she rushed forward, she expected to grasp nothing but air, remembering how her hands had passed through the light in dreams past.

But this time was different. Her father caught her.

Looking up, she couldn’t distinguish his features through the radiance, but she felt his smile enveloping her, his gaze holding her with that uniquely paternal tenderness that had left an indelible mark on her soul.

Though her heart ached with years of accumulated pain, she chose silence, savoring this precious moment of warmth she’d been denied for so long.

After what seemed like both an eternity and a heartbeat, she lifted her face and voiced the question that had been consuming her thoughts. “Dad, what path should I choose?”
