Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 383

As dusk fell, a chilly breeze began to howl, casting an eerie shadow over the hospital.

Benjamin was holed up in the lab, working his fingers to the bone on a paternity test. Tarquin had dropped off the samples earlier that afternoon, but then Elijah had taken a turn for the worse. Benjamin had been by Elijah's side, fussing over him until he was called away for an emergency surgery. Now, with time ticking away, he was scrambling to get the paternity test done.

If the results weren't ready by tomorrow, Tarquin was going to have a fit.

As Benjamin hurried off to the ward, a shadowy figure slipped into the lab through the window.

Evan whispered, "Bro, I'm in."

Elliot, orchestrating from afar, instructed, "Good. Do exactly as I showed you. There's someone by the lab door, so be careful and keep it down." "Got it."
