Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

Elysia’s day took a turn for the better after a video call with her sons, recharging her spirits. Her mind immediately drifted to Tarquin. 

The encounter with the rugged stranger was just a hiccup; Tarquin was the prize she had returned for. Sure, he had told her not to bother him, but a phone call wasn’t exactly bothering, was it? She hadn’t shown up on his doorstep unannounced or anything. 

With her mood in check, Elysia dialed the number for the Royal Community. 

She swallowed her pride, asking meekly, “Excuse me, is Mr. Bradford available for a quickie divorce today?” 

The response was polite enough, “No, if he happens to free up, Mr. Bradford will reach out to you. Just wait for his call, no need to ring us up.” 

With that, the line went dead. 

Elysia pouted. Wait for his call? Till when, the twelfth of never? 

She still thought that pressuring Tarquin through Keaton was the best play. But Keaton was no pushover, and he definitely wasn’t a fool. How to leverage him was the real puzzle. 

“Ring, ring, ring…” 

Lost in thought, Elysia was pulled back by the sound of her ringing phone. It was Zane. 

She answered, “Hello?” 

“Elysia, you free today?” Zane sounded downcast. 

“What’s up?” 

“If you’re available, could you swing by the hospital and talk some sense into Sarah ?” 

“Sarah? Your cousin?” 

“Yeah.” 

“What happened?” 

“She’s… given up on life. Tried to slit her wrists. Thank God the nurses found her in time, or she’d be gone.” 

Elysia gasped, “Over the baby?” 

“Maybe. I’m just her cousin and a guy to boot. I’m not cut out for this, and my mind doesn’t always catch the subtleties. Don’t really know how to comfort her, and Winona’s out of town. I’m clueless about who else to turn to.”

“Have you not reached out to her folks?” 

“She forbade it, threatened to jump out the window if I so much as contacted her mother. 

Elysia sighed, “I’m free today. I’ll head over in a bit.” 

Zane sounded relieved, “Great, great. Need me to pick you up?” 

“No, stay with her. I’ll grab a cab.” 

After hanging up, Elysia’s brow furrowed in thought. She had always been curious about Zane’s cousin, and today seemed like a fitting chance to meet her. 

Half an hour later, Elysia arrived at Heart Hospital. 

Zane was waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing her, he rushed over and asked, “Aren’t you cold dressed like that?”

In her haste that morning, Elysia had thrown on a thin down jacket, which seemed insufficient now.*
