Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 935

Tarquin was visibly shaken, his face a mask of disbelief. "What?!"

Keith was panting heavily, struggling to get his words out. "It's... it's... it's..."

He couldn't finish his sentence before he suddenly went silent.

Tarquin's pupils dilated in shock, and he urgently called out, "We need a doctor here, now!"

A doctor and a police officer, who were not too far away, rushed over immediately.

After a quick examination, the doctor shook his head grimly. "He's not breathing anymore."

Tarquin's heart sank. Deep down, he knew Keith's chances were slim, but Keith's death still wasn't something he could easily digest.

What puzzled him more was Keith's sudden mention of Elysia's biological parents. What did he mean by that?

Was it just a dying man's wish to reveal all his secrets, or did the mysterious figure have some connection to Elysia's real parents?

Lost in thought, Tarquin was snapped back to reality when Elysia burst into the room.

Her breath caught at the sight of Keith lying motionless on the ground, her eyes widening in shock.

Tarquin quickly put aside his thoughts to wrap an arm around Elysia, offering silent comfort.

Elysia was trembling, her lips quivering. "Keith... he..."

Tarquin spoke softly, "He's gone, Elysia. He died trying to save Baby."

Tears welled up in Elysia's eyes, making them glisten.

She didn't know Keith very well, nor was she fully aware of all the wrongs he might have committed. However, she understood his hardships and how much he loved Baby.

She feared Keith might fight her for custody, but she never wished him dead.

Whether it was out of sympathy for the Inkster family or Keith's love for Baby, she wished he could have lived.

Even if Keith had broken the law, life imprisonment seemed a better option than death.

With Keith gone, the Inkster lineage ended.

Without him, Baby would never see her father again.

Just earlier, Baby was bragging to her and the doctor.

Keith had written that he returned Baby to them, hoping they would cherish her, treat her well, and provide a bright future for her.

He also left a long voice message for Baby.

"Baby, I'm sorry, daddy has to break his promise again. I can't join you for dinner tonight, and we won't be able to visit the zoo soon.

Daddy's got an urgent mission and had to leave without saying goodbye.

You love daddy so much, and I know you'll understand why I had to leave suddenly, right?

Don't worry, Baby. Even though daddy's gone, my heart will always be with you. I'll always think of you.

You're the love of my life, Baby. Daddy will love you forever and ever, always and forever!

No matter where I am, my love for you will never change.

If you miss me, just look up at the sky. Find the prettiest cloud by day or the brightest star at night. Those are daddy's ways of being with you.

Daddy has superpowers, and I can always feel how you're feeling.
