Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 344

"Cough cough!" Tarquin coughed twice, frowning and rubbing his chest, looking quite uncomfortable.

Elijah, seeing this, quickly ran over. "Dad?"

He squatted down, rubbing Tarquin's chest. "What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling bad?"

Although Elijah was mad at him for making Elysia sad, and a bit frustrated at his cluelessness for not realizing Elysia was his true love and repeatedly causing drama, his love for Tarquin was genuine.

Elijah wasn't much for words, but he knew well who treated him kindly. Seeing Tarquin in discomfort, he was worried.

Elysia really didn’t want to deal with this jerk, but if she didn’t, it would only upset Elijah more. And seeing how anxious Elijah was, she felt sympathy too.

"Drinking too much is bound to make him feel sick, but don't worry, it's a normal reaction. He'll feel better once he's sobered up."

No sooner had Elysia finished speaking than Tarquin made a vomiting gesture, startling her. She quickly came forward, pulling him up.

"Don't just throw up here! Get to the bathroom!"

Tarquin's eyes were still closed, clearly not awake yet, but he must have heard Elysia, as he staggered up, letting her guide him to the bathroom. As soon as the toilet lid was lifted, he began to throw up violently.

Elysia was disgusted, but she didn't leave him alone. She stood by his side, gently patting his back, hoping to help him sober up a bit more smoothly.

Elijah, feeling very sorry for his dad, quickly ran to the kitchen to fetch a glass of warm water.

Elysia asked, "Do we have any hangover remedy at home?"

"I don't know, should I go buy some?"

"The pharmacy's closed by now, never mind, it's okay not to have the hangover remedy. He'll be fine after sleeping it off."
