Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 848

Elysia rubbed her nose and frowned, stating,

"I'm a doctor myself, I know my own body. I haven't eaten in over a day, and the shock was just too much, that's why I fainted. My body's fine. We need to go find our daughter, right now!"

With that, she threw back the covers, ready to jump out of bed!

She was determined to go with Tarquin to find their daughter, not wanting to wait another second!

But Tarquin stopped her, "You can't go!"

Spirit Village was Keith's stronghold, and for them, venturing in was sure to be dangerous!

Besides, Tarquin had only just rescued Elysia from Keith's clutches; he couldn't possibly take her into enemy territory and risk it all over again!

What if, in the chaos, Keith managed to take Elysia back?

However, Elysia insisted,

"I have to go! Keith won't tell her I'm her father; at best, she'll see you as an uncle and won't go with you!

She's been raised by Keith; she's bound to be attached to him. Even if you find her, you won't be able to bring her back easily.

If we force her, it'll scare her and leave a lasting, terrible impression!

But she's been waiting for me. Keith told her I'm her mother, so she won't be afraid when she sees me, and she'll be willing to come back with me."

Tarquin felt a pang in his heart, his own daughter preferring Keith, recognizing him as a father figure.

It was a bitter pill to swallow.

But sadness aside, Elysia was right.

Compared to him, their daughter was likely more attached to Keith, and even if he found her, she might not be willing to leave with him!

After some thought, Tarquin agreed to Elysia's suggestion.

He decided she would wait outside the village, not letting her enter.
