Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1024

Pamela was over the moon, patting the bed, "Tonight, right here, Mommy will sleep with you."

"Okay."

Clayton watched Pamela's joyful expression, deeply moved.

Elysia said, "Her condition is psychological, and it just so happens I know a bit about psychology. If Mr. Hawkins doesn't mind, I could take a look at her."

Clayton was surprised, "Ms. Thorne knows psychology?!"

Evan and Emmett immediately chimed in, "Our mommy is amazing, she even knows medicine!"

Clayton looked impressed, "Then I'd be grateful if Ms. Thorne could check on her when she has the time."

"Don't mention it. Would now be a good time for me to have a moment alone with her?"

"Of course, I'll be right outside. Just call if you need anything."

"Will do."

Clayton led the children outside, and Elysia quickly started to comfort Pamela, removing the bandages from her hands.

The realization hit her - her mother had been mistreated for so long, and her father was oblivious. The family doctor clearly wasn't doing his job right!

They couldn't have properly taken care of her mother's wounds.

Even though Elysia was braced for it, she was still shocked when she unwrapped the bandages!

She trembled as she examined her mother's fingers, then removed the bandages from her legs...

Elysia's eyes widened, she gasped for air, and couldn't help but embrace Pamela and cry, "Mom!"

She understood traditional medicine; she recognized these injuries!

How could they be so cruel!

They were utterly wicked! Utterly despicable!!!

...

Meanwhile, in the west wing, a servant was reporting to Helen,

"She took off her mask, and she looks nothing like Pamela. It's clear she's not Irene! But that lunatic Pamela insists she is. Mr. Hawkins kept denying it, but she was adamant, nearly causing a scene."
