Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 226

Just like Tarquin had eyes only for Elijah’s moin, swearing he’d spend his life with her and no other woman would do,

Elysia frowned, her concern wasn’t his devotion, her heart was set on Elijah!

“It’s been days, can he really go without eating?”

“He’s not completely fasting, just nibbling here and there, barely enough to keep going. I heard he’s lost a few pounds in just a matter of days.*

Elysia was shocked. “Lost a few pounds?”

“Yeah, Elijah’s always had a lot on his mind, and lately, he’s been alck on and off. When he was eating well, he could at least maintain his weight, but now, he’s shedding it fast.”

Elysia’s frown deepened, her heart ached with worry and quilt! The thought of Elijah, pale and thin, plunged her into a sea of self–reproach.

It was all her fault! If only she had made the effort to cook delicious meals for him every day, he wouldn’t be wasting away.

After leaving the hospital, Elysia made a beeline for the supermarket. She filled her shopping cart without a second thought!

Once home, she shed her coat, kicked off her shoes, rolled up her sleeves, and dove into the kitchen. For over two hours, she was a whirlwind of culinary activity, preparing a dozen dishes, all for Elijah.

But then she hit a snag.

How was she going to get the food to Elijah?

After all that had happened, she couldn’t just waltz up to him.
