Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1116

Evan pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to hide his emotions.

"It's nothing, bro. Just got a bit sentimental for a moment. Let's head out. We'll swing by the hospital to drop off some food for Mom and Blossom. Big bro and Elijah will stay back to look after Grandma and the little one."

"Got it."

As soon as Evan and Emmett stepped out, Elliot immediately rang Tarquin to update him on the situation.

Tarquin had just finished settling Maria's hospital bills.

He made it clear to the hospital staff that if someone attempted to discharge Maria, the remaining balance should be refunded to the original account.

He had discovered that Cecil had gambled away the money meant for Maria's care!

He wouldn't let Cecil get his hands on another dime using that tactic!

Hearing Elliot's rundown, a flicker of disdain passed through Tarquin's eyes.

Cecil thinks he can extort money from him? He really doesn't know his place!

"Don't worry about things here. Focus on taking care of Grandma and the baby. I've got this under control," Tarquin reassured.

Elliot voiced his concern, "But what about Emmett's custody? It's still in their hands..."

"It's fine. Emmett won't be separated from us. Trust me, Dad's got this."

...

By the time Evan and Emmett arrived at the hospital, Blossom was in the middle of a rant.

"I've never seen such irresponsible parenting. Even if they did arrange for their daughter to be seen at a hospital out of town, shouldn't they at least check if she's fit for transfer?!"

"She was just in the ER this afternoon, and by evening, they're processing her discharge. Are they insane?!"

"And then, instead of rushing her to the new hospital, they let her stay home for a night. Unbelievable!"

Blossom, single and childless, was appalled.

How could anyone be such terrible parents?!

"And, ready to take their daughter for treatment without even knowing which hospital? Please! I'm telling you, Elysia, they're probably just trying to scam you, thinking you're easy targets!"

Elysia also sensed something was off, her brows furrowed in concern.

"Emmett's father is no good."

Just as Elysia finished speaking, Evan and Emmett burst through the door.
