Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 720

Keith was clearly gunning for him!

"Elysia, believe me, this is the last time! I won't let anyone hurt our kids again!"

Elysia didn't reply, just cried and cried until she finally stopped.

Pulling away from Tarquin's embrace, she wiped her tears with a raspy voice,

"Could you leave for a bit? I need some alone time with Elliot."

Tarquin's eyes narrowed, "Elysia..."

"I just need some quiet, some time alone with Elliot," Elysia insisted.

Tarquin felt a pang of pain but nodded, "I'll be just outside. Call for me, and I'll hear you."

Elysia shook her head, "Go get some rest."

"I don't want to leave."

Elysia didn't say more, just hummed in response.

Reluctantly, Tarquin stepped out of the room, gently opening and then closing the door behind him.

He stood in the hallway, looking through the glass window at Elysia's frail figure, his heart aching.

They were in a regular hospital, nowhere near as equipped as the Lawson family's private facilities.

Elliot's room was a single, with just a bed and a bathroom.

No room for overnight stays, no kitchen.

Tarquin had suggested moving Elliot, but Benjamin advised against it, saying rest was crucial after surgery. Any transfer should wait until Elliot woke up.

Suppressing his emotions, Tarquin called Lowell to arrange for an overnight bed.

Elysia was bound to stay the night; he wanted to ensure she had a place to rest.

Neither had touched their lunch. Come dinner, Tarquin ordered all of Elysia's favorites, trying to get her to eat even a bite, but she refused.

With her not eating, Tarquin lost his appetite too.
