Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1113

Tarquin paused before finally saying, "Emmett’s biological parents have shown up."

Elliot and Elijah were shocked, taking a moment before asking, "Do they want to take Emmett away?"

"It’s still unclear; the situation is complicated."

Claire is manageable, but Cecil is a tough nut to crack.

"Mom adores Emmett. If they take him away, it would break her heart!"

"Emmett loves Mom too. He definitely wouldn’t want to part from her, but they are his biological parents. What can we do?"

Tarquin sighed, "Let’s see what they have to say."

Ideally, a peaceful solution would be best since they are Emmett’s biological parents.

If not peaceful, then we’ll have to force a resolution. We can’t let them ruin Emmett!

"Emmett’s dad is a deadbeat, but his mom… It’s hard to say. Dig deeper into her background."

"Got it!"

…

Tonight, Elysia was exceptionally clingy to Emmett.

When it was time for bed, she suggested, "How about we sleep together tonight?"

Emmett, of course, was thrilled and happily agreed.

Although not as sharp as Elliot and Evan, Emmett sensed something was off with Mom today.

After getting ready for bed, Emmett asked, "Mom, are you worried about something today?"

Elysia hesitated before lying, "No worries, honey. I just want to be with you always."

"I want to be with Mom always too."

After chatting for a bit, Emmett said, "Mom, let me tell you a story?"

"Okay."

Snuggled in Elysia’s arms, Emmett retold the bedtime stories she used to tell him, lulling her to sleep.

"Discharged?"

"Yes! I just can’t with this woman. Anyway, you better come over, or she might head to your hotel."

Elysia was speechless.

When she and Tarquin arrived at the hospital, it was just starting to light up.

Maria was in the emergency room, with Claire and Blossom waiting outside.

Cecil was there too.

This was Elysia’s first time seeing Cecil.

Emmett didn’t resemble him much, but there were some similarities in their expressions.

Cecil looked worn, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, clearly from lack of sleep.

Before Elysia and Tarquin could say anything, Claire suddenly fell to her knees, begging, "Ms. Thorne, please help my daughter again. She vomited blood today, so much blood. It scared me to death..."

As Elysia helped Claire up, she heard Cecil speaking.
