Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1004

"Ouch, oh no, it hurts..."

Pamela cried as she tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't break free.

The harder she tried to escape, the firmer Helen gripped, "Dare to bite me? You've turned the world upside down! The worst is yet to come!"

She pulled out a long needle she had prepared earlier, aiming it at Pamela...

She targeted spots hidden from plain sight!

She jabbed the needle into Pamela's hand, into her bleeding knees, and into her fingertips, pushing it under her fingernails...

Each finger connected to her heart, making Pamela scream in agony.

Helen ordered the maid to hold Pamela's arms, restraining her from moving!

She also had the maid cover Pamela's mouth to keep her from screaming!

Helen was like a venomous scorpion, relentlessly stabbing Pamela with the needle, venting her anger.

When Pamela fainted from the pain, she would wake her up just to torment her further.

The commotion was not small and even disturbed the other members of the Hawkins family.

The other women acted as if nothing was unusual, continuing with their face masks and flower arranging in their own rooms, with not a single one offering to help Pamela in the main house.

...

Meanwhile, Tarquin and Elysia had already set off.

On their private jet, Elysia's face was scrunched up, her brows knitted tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Tarquin, worried, touched her forehead, which wasn't hot.

Elysia looked at him with teary eyes, her tears falling before she could speak.

Tarquin, startled, immediately took her into his arms, soothing her gently,

"Don't cry, what's the matter? Talk to me."

Elysia sobbed, "I...I just feel so upset."

"Upset? Are you sick? Should I call a doctor?"

Seeing Elysia cry, they were immensely distressed.

Elliot and Elijah declared, "Mommy, don't worry, we'll protect grandma and grandpa too!"

Evan said, "If anyone dares to bully my grandparents, I'll fight them! I'll be the bodyguard for grandma and grandpa!"

Emmett, emotional, with tears in his eyes,

"Mommy, don't cry. Grandma and grandpa will be so happy to see us, maybe grandma will even get better just from the happiness."

Baby also chimed in with a baby voice,

"Grandma and grandpa will surely love little bunnies too. I'll let Lan play with them and make them happy."

Elysia, moved, sniffled hard,

"Grandma and grandpa will be over the moon seeing you. Mommy won't cry anymore, you don't have to worry about me, okay? Now, head back to your seats, safety first."

The little ones each gave Elysia a kiss, obediently following Lowell back to their seats.

Elysia wiped her tears away, not crying anymore. She leaned into Tarquin's embrace, looking out the window with a sorrowful expression.
