Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 724

They just held each other in silence, not speaking of the day's events or what lay ahead...

The next day.

Elysia woke up early, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Tarquin staring at her.

Without a word, she slipped out of bed and went to check on Elliot.

Tarquin quickly followed, “Should I call a doctor?”

“Not for now.”

“Can we transfer him to another hospital today?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

“…I’ll have breakfast ready for you.”

“Okay.”

As Elysia began examining Elliot, Tarquin watched her for a few seconds, frowned, and then, not wanting to disturb her further, he left the room.

He would respond to anything she said, but her demeanor still had Tarquin's heart in a vice.

He stepped outside the hospital room to make a call, arranging breakfast for Elysia.

That morning, Gideon Bradford made an unexpected appearance.

It was the first time the grandfather and grandson had seen each other since the chaos of the Thanksgiving dinner.

If it weren't for Elizabeth’s ashes still being in Gideon's possession, Tarquin would have erased him from their lives for good!

But with the ashes at stake, Tarquin had no choice but to deal with him.

At the end of the hospital corridor, Tarquin lit a cigarette, clearly annoyed, "Cut to the chase!"

Tarquin took a harsh drag from his cigarette and shot back, “Your existence is a tragedy!”

All Gideon could see, even at his age, was power and influence. Tarquin couldn’t grasp it.

Chasing fame and fortune might be normal for the young, but to still be obsessed with power at his age? Pitiful!

Gideon scowled, “Don’t be so quick to dismiss my offer. Think it over, and contact me when you’re ready.”

As Gideon wheeled away, Tarquin didn’t even spare him a glance.

Right after Gideon left, Elijah suddenly appeared, “Daddy.”

Tarquin quickly snuffed out his cigarette, “How did you come from the stairwell?”

Elijah didn’t explain, simply stating, “I heard everything between you and great-grandpa. I think it’s worth considering, Daddy.”

Tarquin was speechless…
