Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1091

At that moment, Elysia and her three little companions were all worried sick about Blossom. And with the woman wearing a mask, they hadn't noticed anything off about her behavior.

Seeing Emmett was unharmed, Elysia replied with a "It's okay."

She dusted off Emmett, hoisted him up, and continued towards the hospital wing.

The woman watched them go, her breath catching in shock.

She stayed rooted to the spot until Emmett's figure disappeared, then turned her gaze away.

Settling her daughter on a bench,

"Maria, sit tight and wait for mommy, okay? Don't wander off. I'll be right back."

The little girl obediently nodded.

The woman adjusted her daughter's coat, fitted her with a beanie, and dashed off in the direction Emmett had gone.

After a clumsy search, she finally found Elysia and the trio in a hallway.

The police were in Blossom's room, questioning him alone, leaving everyone else outside waiting.

Upon seeing Emmett, the woman's emotions surged once more!

She stood a few meters away, her eyes gradually reddening as she panted.

Elysia noticed her shortly after.

Even with the mask, Elysia recognized her as the woman who had accidentally knocked into Emmett downstairs.

Elysia approached, "Were you looking for me?"

The woman quickly looked away, wiping her tears, her voice choked,

"I was in a rush earlier and felt the bump was quite severe. I couldn't stop worrying and wanted to check on the child again. I think I might have hit his head."

Emmett, having walked over, politely shook his head,

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing how anxious she was, Elysia couldn't help but worry a little. She reached out to feel the back of Emmett's head, "Emmett, does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt."

"Excuse me, have you seen a little girl sitting here? She's wearing a pink jacket and a yellow beanie, very thin and frail."

A family member responded, "A man took her away, looked like her father. I heard the girl call him 'dad.'"

Hearing this, the woman's body shuddered violently!

Her complexion turned deathly pale, as if her daughter had been swept away by some monstrous flood.

She hastily thanked them and ran towards the hospital entrance, pulling out her phone to make a call.

Her hands trembled so much that it took her ages to find and dial the correct number.

The phone rang endlessly, but there was no answer.

Undeterred, she kept calling.

Finally, when the call connected, she urgently asked, "Cecil, is Maria with you?"

The man's voice was icy cold, "Come back!"

Shaking all over, she asked again, her voice quivering, "Is... Maria with you?"
