Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



"I'll whip up something delicious for Blossom at lunch."

"Yay!"

Right after breakfast, the enthusiastic discussion about what to have for lunch began between the little one and the grown-up.

Hollis and Elysia couldn't help but smile at their excitement.

Due to a sudden plumbing issue in the hospital, the bathroom in their room was out of service, so Elysia and Hollis found themselves washing dishes in the public restroom.

Hollis shared, "Blossom told me Emmett isn't biologically yours, but look at how close he is with you! You can tell by the way he treats Blossom. His love for her, it's all because of you. It really shows that blood isn't what makes a family."

Elysia had a tender look, "Emmett is very sensible."

"Love is mutual. You love him, so he loves you back."

Chatting away, they reached the restroom door, ready to clean up, when that strange woman appeared again!

Elysia was taken aback, "What?!"

This time, the woman was alone, without her child.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Her eyes red, she fixed her gaze on Elysia, clearly there to confront her.

Hollis asked, "Do you know her?"

Elysia shook her head, "No."

But this time, she decided to get some answers.

The woman had appeared too many times, behaving oddly each time!

All Elysia did was accidentally bump into Emmett, and it shouldn't have led to all this.

Elysia set down her thermos and approached the woman.

As Elysia drew closer, the woman clenched her fists tighter, her breathing growing more frantic.

Suddenly, she blurted out, "Leave! Just leave now! Take your child and leave Silver City!"

Elysia froze, "What?!"

The woman became more agitated, "Silver City doesn't welcome you! Leave, today! If you don't, I'lI... I'II... I'll have someone take you down!"

Elysia frowned, "Why wouldn't Silver City welcome us? And what does our leaving have to do with you?"

Without offering an explanation, the

woman kept threatening, "Leave today! Don't let me see you again!

Take your child and leave Silver City, or I swear, I'll fight you tomorrow!"

Hollis had come over, frowning, "Who are you?!"

The woman, as if deaf to Hollis's question, kept repeating her threats.

It was only when she saw Emmett that her eyes welled up with tears, stopping her tirade.

Emmett raced to Elysia's side, shielding her, "Mommy, are you okay?"

Elysia lifted him into her arms, "Don't worry, mommy's fine."

The little guy frowned at the woman, "Why are you being mean to my mommy? She didn't do anything to you."

Hearing this, the woman seemed to crumble under the weight of some unseen burden, covering her mouth as she turned to run. But not before looking back at the stairs to say, "Leave! Leave today!"

Elysia's brows knitted together in concern. She handed Emmett to Hollis, "Emmett, go with Hollis to the room and find Blossom. Mommy's going to see what that woman wants. Hollis, can you look after Emmett for a bit?"

Hollis nodded, taking Emmett, "That woman seems off. Be careful."

"It's okay. I have Tarquin's bodyguards with me. If she tries anything, they'll step in."

With that, Elysia hurried off towards the stairwell.
