Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1097

Just as Elysia was about to say something, the woman suddenly picked up the little girl and ran off.

She was in such a hurry that she knocked the hotdog right out of Emmett’s hand.

Emmett, bewildered, turned to Elysia, “Mommy...?”

Elysia was just as puzzled. She watched the woman’s retreating back for a few seconds before turning her attention back to Emmett.

Gently ruffling Emmett’s hair, she explained, “Don’t worry, Emmett. Her daughter is very sick, and she’s upset. That’s why she’s crying.”

The hotdog had fallen to the ground and was now covered in dirt, making it inedible. Elysia picked it up and tossed it into a nearby trash can, then took Emmett’s hand and headed towards the hospital wing.

Emmett glanced in the direction the woman had run off and asked Elysia, “Mommy, can’t that little girl’s sickness be cured?”

“Well, it seems like it can’t be cured right now. But she’s not a little sister; she’s an older sister. She’s older than you.”

“Ah? But she looks so small, even smaller than a baby.”

“That’s because her illness and not getting enough to eat have made her look tiny and thin.”

Emmett murmured, “They look so pitiful. Is it because they don’t have enough money for good food?”

“Maybe. Their family probably spent all their money on the sister’s treatment.”

Emmett furrowed his brows, “Mommy, can I give them my allowance?”

Elysia smiled, “Of course, you can.”

Emmett wanted to help, and she naturally wouldn’t object to such a kind gesture.

“If fate allows us to meet them again, we’ll lend a hand.”

“Yeah.”

As mother and son chatted away, they didn’t notice the woman watching them from behind.
