Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 114

Blossom said with a sigh, “I’ve heard that poor kid’s got it rough. Two years back he was kidnapped, and it’s left him with some serious trauma. He’s been living in fear ever since. Imagine being so young and scared all the time, day and night. No wonder he gets sick all the time. And the parents? They suffer too. Mrs. Denton used to be the belle of Jindale City, but after having kids, she put on a lot of weight, ballooning up to 400 pounds. No matter what she tried, she couldn’t shed the pounds. But once Corbin had his incident, she dropped over a hundred pounds in just two months. Word is, she’s been crying her eyes out… When a child gets sick, it’s not just the kid who suffers, the parents do too.”

Elysia just listened quietly, a flicker of another person’s image crossing her mind.

share the burden.

But that other person… he’s got to bear all the hardship alone, playing both mom and dad.

And yet, what of it?

He deserves it!

This time, thinking of him, Elysia felt no pity, only a burning resentment.
