Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1154

Tarquin was mid-sentence when Elysia suddenly went silent.

His heart skipped a beat, panic setting in. "Elysia—"

...

In the hospital room, Elysia lay quietly in bed, an IV drip attached to her arm.

She was okay physically—just fainted from being too emotionally overwhelmed.

Pamela and a group of little ones were gathered around her bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

Tarquin stood nearby, eyes red and brows furrowed with concern.

After a while, Tarquin called Lowell over to take Pamela and Baby Emmett home.

They didn't want to leave, but Tarquin gently reasoned, "Elysia will wake up soon, and she's going to be hungry. If we're all here, who'll prepare her some delicious food? Go home, whip up something tasty, and bring it back later."

The three nodded and left with Lowell, heading back to prepare a comforting meal for Elysia.

Once they were gone, Elliot wiped away his tears and asked, "What happened? Mom's always been healthy. How did she just collapse like that?"

Tarquin frowned and explained the situation with Winona.

The three little ones were shocked. "Winona's in trouble?!"

"Yes, her fate is uncertain at the moment."

The room fell silent for a moment before Elliot asked, "Do we have any suspects?"

"Winona's husband seems suspicious."

"Mr. Zane?"

"Yes."

The kids frowned. They knew of Zane. When he first appeared around Elysia, they were worried he might pose a threat to their mom and had even done some investigating.
