Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 144

After sharing lunch together, Blossom headed back to school, and Elysia made her

way home.

Once there, Elysia fired up Blossom’s laptop, coaxed the password out of her, and logged in. She furiously began scouring the internet for information on Elijah’s condition.

She just couldn’t shake her concern for him.

Was it because he bore such a striking resemblance to Evan, or was it something else?

Every time she thought about his current plight, her heart raced.

She hoped to stabilize his condition before she left, if not fully cure him.

Sadly, despite her efforts from dawn till dusk, she couldn’t find a shred of useful information.

With Blossom and the kids due to return, Elysia shut down the laptop.

She stood up and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
