Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Elysia furrowed her brow as she recalled what Lowell had said. Lowell mentioned how Elijah had been the butt of jokes for years.

Elijah was just quiet, and people mocked him, calling him mute. He was actually struggling with mental health issues, yet they labeled him crazy.

And because of family interests, some were even hoping Elijah would just vanish.

Thinking about the harsh words Allegra had once spat at Elijah, Elysia felt her blood boil.

Some relatives are kin by blood, but utterly heartless in spirit.

"It's all going to be okay." Elysia suddenly spoke up, causing Elijah to turn his head towards her. Before he could react, she had pulled him into a hug!

Elijah shivered, his breathing quickened, and his cheeks flushed red.

This was his first embrace from a woman, ever!

Half nervous, half shy. He tried to wriggle free, but Elysia's grip was too strong, he couldn't escape.

"You..."

"Elijah, believe me, everything will get better! I'll fill your heart with sunshine, turn you into a healthy, lively kid! I'll make all those who mock you, curse you, and wish you ill, shut their mouths!"
