Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1847

Elysia frowned, her heart racing with overwhelming concern.

Lowell worried that she might misunderstand Tarquin's motives and blame him, so he quickly explained.

"Tarquin values loyalty above all else, and he fiercely protects his own. Axel grew up with us. Tarquin treats him like a real brother."

"Now that those bastards have hurt him so badly, there's no way Tarquin could just sit back and do nothing."

Elysia took a deep breath.

"I know. I don't blame him. Even if he didn't know Axel, I would still support him seeking justice. A hero deserves to be defended!"

"Those cartel members are purely evil. As citizens, if we have the means to help the authorities catch them, we absolutely should step up."

"I'm just worried about him! Those monsters are ruthless..."

Folly had stepped out to take a phone call and happened to overhear their conversation.

He completely agreed with Elysia's sentiment. A hero truly deserved support!

Axel was the son of a hero, and a remarkable hero in his own right. Folly had nothing but respect for him.

But...

Respect was one thing. When it came to his daughter's love life, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Back when he thought Axel was just Tarquin's bodyguard, he already considered the job too dangerous.

Now that he knew Axel was tangled up with the drug cartel, he was terrified.

People were inherently selfish, and Blossom was his only child.

If anything happened to her in the future, how would he and Hollis survive?

Folly walked back into the hospital room, where Hollis was still trying to convince Blossom to return to Jindale City.

"Axel was in critical condition the past couple of days, so your father and I held our tongues. But now that he's out of the woods, they can hire a professional caregiver. You're coming home with us."

Blossom refused without missing a beat.

"I'm not leaving. I don't trust a caregiver to look after him. I'm going to do it myself."
