Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 

“Doctor says it’s a malformation and recommends termination.” 

Elysia was taken aback, “How did they only find out it’s malformed now? It’s quite far along, isn’t it?” “Yeah, I only found out today.” 

Elysia couldn’t help but steal another glance at the girl, her expression a mix of emotions. 

The girl was watching her warily. 

When their eyes met, the girl furrowed her brow, then lowered her gaze to avert her eyes. 

Elysia was puzzled; where was her hostility coming from? 

They had never met before and they didn’t know each other, so why the resentment at first sight? 

Had she done something to provoke her? 

“She’s not in a good mood today, just ignore her,” Zane seemed to read her mind and commented. 

Elysia looked away, “Yeah, it’s a tough break. You should talk her through it. And if possible, do your best to encourage her to go back to school after this. She worked hard to get into college, it’d be a shame to waste that.” 

She knew the struggle of not having a diploma and how hard life could be once you stepped into the real world without it. 

“That’s what I’m thinking. After the surgery and some recovery time, I’ll have her go back to school.” 

“Right, then you better get her to the doctor. We can catch up some other time.” 

“Sure, I’ll call you.” 

“Okay.” 

After saying goodbye to Zane, Elysia continued on her way to the inpatient department, while Zane led his cousin off to the obstetrics and gynecology wing. 

Stepping into the elevator, Elysia’s thoughts were still swirling. 

That girl’s strange look was as if she’d seen a romantic rival. But Zane was her cousin, right? And she didn’t know the girl’s boyfriend. So where was the hostility coming from? 

Was she overthinking it? Or did she misread the situation? 

Or maybe, the girl was just in such a bad mood that anyone would trigger that hostility? 

If there was something between her and Zane, he wouldn’t be so nonchalant, would he? 

Besides, what could possibly be between Zane and that girl? They were cousins. 

Deciding she was overthinking. Elysia shook off the nonsense in her head and went to find Corbin. 

Meanwhile, the girl was looking at Zane with teary eyes and said out of the blue, “It’s her, isn’t it?” 

Zane furrowed his brows, “Let’s see the doctor first.”

Chapter 117 

The girl jerked her arm away from him and looked visibly upset, “I’m asking you, it’s her, right?!” 

Her loud voice was drawing the attention of many onlookers. The people around them cast curious glances with varied expressions. 

Zane eyed the girl, his unreadable face revealed no sign of anger and his tone was neutral too. “If you don’t want my company, I can call your mom right now.” 

His words seemed to hit a nerve, and she shivered, not daring to speak further. Even her sobs were 

quieter now. 

Zane handed her a tissue without any explanation as if she’d never asked anything. “The baby’s not going to make it. Dry your eyes, we’re waiting for the doctor to call us.” 

She took the tissue with her head bowed. She didn’t dare to look at him while tears were streaming down her face. 

In Corbin’s hospital room.
