Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1134

"Alright, I'm with you."

The couple spent the entire night in the hospital for a little girl with no blood relation to them.

As dawn broke, Tarquin received a call from Hollis.

There was a snag in wrapping up the excavation project, and Hollis couldn't handle it alone. He needed Tarquin's help.

Axel was off with Folly and Clayton, transporting artifacts, while Lowell was babysitting at the hotel.

Tarquin let Elysia know before heading out himself.

Elysia stayed at the hospital, keeping company with Maria.

They thought that with Cecil's crimes brought to light, this chapter was finally closed.

But then...

Someone decided to stir the pot again for the sake of keeping the drama alive and pulling in more views, making Emmett the topic!

People said Emmett was a curse. His appearance marked the death of his mother, his father's arrest, and his sister's uncertain fate.

Tragedy followed him, they claimed, he was bad luck incarnate!

Others argued, what good was Emmett's talent when he had such a father? Growing up, he'd be no better, a waste of potential!

Some went further, claiming bad seeds ran in the family. Cecil was scum, and Emmett was bound to be just as rotten, if not worse.

They even suggested sending Emmett off to a juvenile center, to have the state keep an eye on him, preventing him from evolving into a high-IQ criminal.

Elysia was furious upon seeing these reports.

She couldn't fathom how people could slander a child so viciously. Didn't they fear karma?

Then, at a little past seven in the morning, disaster struck Emmett!

Because they hadn't figured out how to explain Claire and Maria's situation to Emmett, they had kept it from him.

He was still in the dark.
