Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 814

Elysia's hands trembled with excitement, a rush of elation swiftly followed by a wave of panic. Where was her daughter?!

"Ding—" Another message arrived, this time a video.

Elysia hurriedly opened it to find footage from an operating room. A team of doctors and nurses, clad in scrubs, were performing a C-section on her.

One after another, cries filled the room as four babies were safely delivered!

Four nurses, each cradling a baby, were busy with the routine post-birth procedures: clocking the time, weighing, and bathing...

Soon, the four little ones were snugly wrapped and placed side by side in a warming unit.

A nurse commented, "Three boys and a girl, all in good health, though the little girl's a bit on the small side..."

As the video ended, Elysia was left in shock, taking a long time to snap back to reality.

When she finally did, tears were streaming down her face. Overwhelmed with joy yet fraught with fear, she realized:

She had a daughter!

She and Tarquin had a daughter!

But someone had taken her away!

Through her tears, Elysia tried to reach out to the sender, her vision blurred. Wiping her eyes roughly, her hands shaking, she attempted to call back.

No answer. Then, another message came through,

["Want to know where your daughter is? Divorce Tarquin first."]

Unable to reach them by phone, Elysia replied,

["Who are you? Who exactly are you? Why did you take my daughter? Where is she now?"]

The reply was chilling,

["I was the one who took your daughter from you. Divorce Tarquin, and I'll take you to her. She misses you."]

Elysia was frantic, ["I want to see her now!"]

The sender replied, ["Then divorce Tarquin now. As soon as you do, I'll take you to her."]
