Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 

Elysia paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement

You’re right. I’ve been carrying a lot of worries lately, but I didn’t want to trouble you kids with them.

Well rather be involved than worried sick. Besides, haven’t you always said two heads are better than one? You should share what’s on your mind. Together, we might just figure it outsaid Elliot 

Elysia sighed deeply, hesitant to bring up Winona’s situation

After all Winona’s troubles might be linked to a criminal investigation, and she didn’t want her children getting involved

She then mentioned Elijah, Lately, I’ve been trying to help this kid, the one I told you about before, who’s struggling with mental health 

issues.” 

Eljah?” 

Elliot was aware of Elijah’s existence but didn’t know he was his own brother. He had always thought Elijah was the child of Tarquin and 

another woman

Yes, exactly! But now, there’s a complicated issue. Some people seem to not want Elijah to get better, so they’re against me treating 

him.” 

Elliot knew Elysia was talking about Allegra. He pretended to be clueless. Did they threaten you?” 

Yes

And what about Elijah’s dad? Didn’t he step in to say something, to warn those people off?” 

Tm not entirely sure. He did say that no one would treat me like that again.” 

Elliot frowned slightly, realizing that Tarquin’s handling of Allegra had been kept from Elysia

Why isn’t he speaking up

Elysia, not fully understanding their family dynamics, would naturally still be afraid

So, you want to keep helping Elijah but are afraid of getting hurt, right?” 

Elysia quickly nodded. It was one thing if it was just her, but now Elliot and Evan were involved too. She couldn’t just think about Elijah without considering her sons

Elliot thought for a moment and then said, Actually, this problem isn’t too hard to solve.” 

Really? Do you have an idea?” 

Yes. Think about it, Mom. Those people’s goal is to stop you from treating Elijah. If you stop treating him, they wouldn’t care about you seeing him anymore.” 

Elysia was puzzled, But I’m seeing Elijah to treat him.” 

You can still treat him, just without letting anyone know.” 

*Secretly?” 

Yes!” 

No, that’s too risky. If those people find out, it would be even more dangerous.” 

Then make sure they don’t find out.”
