Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 832

Keith's voice was calm and reassuring as he spoke, "Don't worry, she's safe. I'll take you to her right now."

He then bowed his head, pouring some tea.

In the middle of the small boat, there was a tiny stove, on top of which tea was being brewed, accompanied by some snacks.

Keith handed Elysia a warm cup of tea and then offered her a tablet, saying, "If you're feeling seasick, take one of these. It should help. Looks like we'll be on this boat for several hours."

Elysia didn't take it. It was only when she looked down at the tablet that she realized her clothes had been changed!

Her eyes widened in shock, on the verge of questioning, when she heard Keith say, "Don't overthink it. I didn't touch you. A lady helped you change before we boarded."

Elysia's brows furrowed in confusion, "Why change my clothes?"

Keith replied with an even tone, "It's to better evade Tarquin's pursuit. Plus, with your medical skills, I was worried you might have needles or poison on you."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Don't worry, I've taken good care of the needles you had with you. I know they're valuable to you, so I didn't dare dispose of them."

Elysia was speechless.

Keith then took a warmed orange from the stove, peeled it, and handed her the segments, "If you don't want the tablet, eat some orange instead. It can help with seasickness and warm you up."

It was late May, a time when spring usually filled the air with warmth, but the temperature over the sea was lower, especially after sunset. The sea breeze felt cool against the skin.

Elysia neither took the tablet nor the orange. She looked around, only to see the vast sea surrounding them.

For someone who couldn't swim, there wasn't the slightest chance of escape!

Her phone wasn't on her either, undoubtedly taken by Keith.

Asking for it back was futile. She had no choice but to force herself to calm down and wait for Tarquin to rescue her.
