Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 211

Lowell and Tarquin froze, their gazes instinctively shifting towards Elysia

Elysia had just woken up, her mind still foggy, and she hadn’t quite caught the name Lionel had mentioned. She asked again, “Is it that woman who wants to kill me? Because of Elijah?”

The truth was indeed so.

But if they admitted it, would Elysia never dare to involve herself with Elijah again?

Lowell hesitated to speak, waiting for Tarquin to respond.

After a moment of tense silence, Tarquin finally spoke, his brows knitted tightly. “Yes! But only this once. She won’t dare to try anything ever again!”

Elysia stared at him in horror

Was it because of Elijah that he had taken out that woman’s son, and now she was seeking revenge?

But since the woman feared him, she didn’t dare to touch him directly, so she targeted Elysia instead?

So, she almost got run over because of him!

Elysia was already terrified knowing he was a murderer, but now, her fear of him had reached its peak! Looking at him falt like staring at a pathogen, capable of dragging her into the abyss at any moment!

Lowell hadn’t expected Tarquin to just outright admit it, but that was indeed Tarquin’s style.

All he could do was to try and reassure Elysia, “Ms. Thorne, his family situation is quite complicated. A lot of people don’t want to see Elijah doing well, so, don’t be afraid. This sort of thing definitely won’t

happen again, you…”

Before Lowell could finish, Elysia suddenly threw back the covers and sat up.

She wanted to get out of bed, to leave.

As she reached to remove the IV from her hand, Tarquin quickly grabbed her wrist. “What are you doing?”

Elysia, like a bird spooked in its cage, began breathing rapidly, her eyes wide with terror as she looked at him.

That look in her eyes only infuriated Tarquin further, his expression turning even colder.

Elysia became more frightened her eyes brimming with tears. “I want to go home.”

Tarquin replied coldly. “You’re not well enough to leave, so you can’t go home!”

But Elysia shook her head and shouted, “I want to go home!”

“No!”

“I want to go! Let me go! I want to go home!” she cried out like a child throwing a tantrum.

Tarquin’s face darkened with anger, thinking she was simply distressed from the near–death experience and missing her kids. He said, trying to keep his cool, “You need to stay in the hospital right now! If you’re missing your kids that much, I have Lowell bring them

Dver.

Bring her kids over?

Elysia’s eyes widened in alarm as she shouted, “You can’t bring my kids! Stay away from my kids! Leave, just leave! I don’t want to see you! 1 never want to see you again! Just go!”

“You…” Tarquin was fuming now!

He was involved in the situation, true, but it wasn’t him who had so

had someone

And if it weren’t for him, she would have been dead!

o try to run her over!

In that moment, Tarquin felt a level of frustration he hadn’t experienced in years!

But he was powerless to change her mind, eventually releasing her wrist and storming out in anger.

“Tar…” Lowell called out to him, but he didn’t stop or look back

Lowell sighed, not understanding why Elysia was so opposed to them getting her kids but he could empathize with her current state

Anyone would be traumatized after nearly being killed in a hit–and–run.

Allegra had targeted her because of Elijah, but Elysia wouldn’t direct her fear and anger towards a child, only towards Tarquin. After all, the ordeal had started because of him.

“Ms. Thome, please calm down, we won’t go after your kids. He didn’t want you to leave because he’s worried about your health. You fainted from shock today, and it was him who brought you to the hospital. Dr. Benjamin says you need to rest and receive fluids.

Elysia didn’t respond, her gaze fixed on the doct as if fearing the man might return.

Seeing no other option, Lowell called for the doctor before going out to find Tarquin, who was outsidExclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
