Bound By Love: The Disabled Husband

Chapter 1793

Chapter 1793:

In the silence of his mind, he called out to Tracy—a whisper of longing she would never answer. His tears flowed

unchecked.

“Tracy,” he murmured to the void. “Why did it have to end this way? | had it all mapped out—our future, our

family. Why fate...?”

He sat in the quiet cocoon of his car, a cigarette trembling between his fingers as tears continued to carve silent

paths down his face.

A storm of emotions churned within him—regret gnawed at his conscience, sorrow weighed heavy on his heart,

self-loathing twisted his thoughts, and a fog of uncertainty clouded his vision of tomorrow. Yet amid the turmoil,

one truth shone stark and unyielding: the loss of the baby had severed his tether to Tracy forever.

Once the doctor completed Shaun's examination, he delivered the prognosis with unflinching honesty.

As anticipated, Shaun retreated into an emotional fortress, shutting out the world and spurning every morsel of

food offered to him. Within a handful of days, when Elyse returned to see him, she discerned that the flof

his will to live had flickered out entirely.

Velma, Shaun’s mother, lingered in the sterile hallway outside the ward, her quiet sobs muffled as she brushed

away tears. The sight pierced Elyse’s heart, and she settled beside her friend. “Velma,” she said gently, “you

must hold yourself together. Don't let this erode your own strength.”

Before arriving, Elyse had learned of Velma’s ceaseless weeping—tears that seemed like an endless well, spilling

forth day after day.

“We have to find a spark to reignite Shaun's spirit,” Elyse urged. “He is reeling from a devastating blow.”

Velma'’s voice quivered as tears streamed anew. “I know,” she whispered, her words breaking. “But he won't

heed a soul and refuses to eat. We're sustaining him with IVs each day. | live in dread that his despair will push

him to do something irreversible...”

Her tears surged as she spoke, a flood she couldn't stem.

Elyse offered words of solace, but they fell short, unable to pierce Velma’s grief. Resigned, she sat in quiet

companionship, a steady presence beside her.

After what felt like an eternity of weeping, Velma'’s reservoir of tears ran dry. She spoke in a hollow, despairing

tone. “He is my only child. If I lose him, | wouldn't know how to carry on.”

Alarmed, Elyse seized her hand. “Don’t say such things. Shaun will pull through—we’re his friends, and we'll find

a way to lift him up.”

Elyse had devoted a considerable portion of her tto soothing Velma’s frayed nerves.
