Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1365:

Hanley stopped, puzzled by the discussion.

Shaun appeared troubled. “I was almost married once. Why were you so harsh to her?”

“Almost married? To whom? Tracy?”

Hanley immediately caught on when he saw Shaun’s serious expression. He retorted with a sneer, “You’re suggesting I drove your fiancée away? You should know, you were the one who drove her away, not us.”

Jayden bit his lip and added, “That’s the reality. You didn’t value or respect her, so why would your family?”

Shaun fell silent for a while, then finally asked, “What’s her name?”

“Tracy Bernard? I think that’s her name,” Hanley replied with some uncertainty.

He never really approved of Tracy as a daughter-in-law. He believed she didn’t seem like the right fit for Shaun. Shaun sought a powerful alliance to ensure his family’s ongoing strength and prosperity.

After a brief pause, Hanley added instinctively, “Tracy isn’t the right one for you. She offers no benefit to our family. You might want to look for a different wife material. If Dolores isn’t to your liking, there are plenty of other affluent women out there.”

After speaking, he realized that Shaun hadn’t replied. Sitting on the hospital bed, Shaun visibly shuddered at the mention of Tracy’s name.

Seeing Shaun like this for the first time, Jayden asked tensely, “Are you alright? Do you feel ill?”

Shaun raised his hands and gazed at his palms. His lips trembled as he stuttered, “Tracy? Who is Tracy, and why does the name sound so familiar? Have we met?”

Jayden responded, “Tracy was the love of your life. You almost got married to her.”

Shaun’s lips quivered, and he whispered faintly, “Tracy… my love…”

Suddenly, he cried out in agony, clutched his head, and started banging it against the wall repeatedly.

Hanley froze in horror as Shaun smashed his head repeatedly against the wall. The bandages wrapped around his forehead were darkening with fresh blood, each impact soaking through another layer.

“Shaun, stop! Please, stop!” Hanley snapped as he lunged forward, gripping his son’s shoulders in desperation.

But Shaun didn’t respond. He kept going, as though he couldn’t feel the pain—or perhaps, as though he welcomed it.

Jayden, standing at a distance, was quicker to act. He jabbed the emergency call button on the wall, and within moments, the door burst open, and a flurry of white coats swarmed in to restrain Shaun and administer a sedative.

Shaun stopped resisting. His body slackened, his head drooping before he collapsed onto the bed, slipping into a heavy, drug-induced slumber.
