Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1197

Zane rushed back to the hospital, his mind racing.

Winona was lying in the hospital bed, sobbing uncontrollably, while Elysia sat beside her, trying to comfort her. Priscilla sat on a chair nearby, arms crossed, her face bruised and expressionless.

As Zane entered the room, he called out, "Elysia, Winona."

Elysia whipped her head around, eyes blazing, and without a second thought, she stormed over and slapped him across the face.

Elysia gave him a cold, disbelieving look, "I don’t believe you!"

Zane was at a loss.

Priscilla couldn’t take it anymore. She shouted at Elysia, "Fine, don’t believe him! As if we care! Son, stop wasting your breath on her. Look at her attitude! She’s walking all over you!
