Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1133

Cecil didn't mean for it to happen, but Claire was really gone!

It was a fatal mistake by Cecil's hand!

The cameras caught it all, streaming live online.

The whole nation became witnesses, Cecil had no chance to deny it!

And those with ulterior motives trying to clear his name stood no chance either!

In an instant, the whole situation escalated to a new level.

At the same time, the police issued a lengthy statement summarizing the facts:

Cecil’s involvement in illegal gambling, confirmed!

Cecil’s history of domestic violence against his wife and daughter, confirmed!

Cecil trading his son for gambling debts, confirmed!

Cecil’s involvement in a kidnapping case, confirmed!

Cecil exploiting his son’s custody for blackmail, confirmed!

Elysia and Tarquin kidnapping children, false!

Elysia and Tarquin preventing Emmett from seeing his siblings, false!

Elysia and Tarquin using their power to bully Cecil, false!

The official document, in blue and white, silenced the online trolls.

It was like a merciless slap to their faces, smacking them so hard their faces almost twisted!

Those who had been the most vocal felt the sting the most!

When Elysia and Tarquin heard about Claire's death, they rushed to the hospital, only to find Claire had already been taken to the morgue.

Cecil had been arrested by the police.

Maria, unable to cope with Claire's death, was overwhelmed with emotion and fainted on the spot.

She was being resuscitated in the emergency room.

Elliot and Evan waited outside the emergency room, and upon seeing Elysia and Tarquin, they ran over,

"Daddy! Mommy!"

They hoped Maria could stay strong and truly experience the beauty of life!

It wasn't until the early hours that Elysia emerged from the emergency room.

Tarquin was waiting in the hallway. Seeing her, he quickly approached,

"How is she?"

Elysia, drained, replied, "We managed to stabilize her, but she's still unconscious. She'll be moved to the ICU soon. Whether she wakes up or not is now up to fate."

Tarquin frowned, handing her a cup of warm water,

"Everyone has their fate, don't be too hard on yourself. You must be exhausted, have some water."

Elysia was indeed tired, the recent stress and hours standing in surgery had taken their toll.

She took a few sips from the cup, "Where are ElliotEvan?"

"I sent them home to look after Mom and BabyEmmett. Are you heading back to the hotel now?"

"I can't leave, Maria is still not out of the woods. Anything could happen, I need to stay."
