Chapter 751

Elysia Thorne woke up before dawn, startled from her sleep.

Realizing she was still in bed, she quickly got up to check on her son.

Tarquin Bradford was still by the hospital bed, surprised to see her up so early, "Awake already?"

Elysia's focus was on her son, "Yeah, just woke up naturally. How's Elliot doing?"

"He's been quiet, sleeping soundly."

Elysia checked Elliot's pulse to make sure everything was normal before she could relax.

"You should get some rest, Tarquin. I'll stay with Elliot."

Her words were polite, but Tarquin couldn't help but chuckle, pinching her cheek, "Still half-asleep? Forgot Elliot is my son too?"

"Huh?"

"Why the thanks? He's my son too. You've been taking care of him for years without a word of complaint. Why would I find a single night hard?" Elysia froze for a moment before awkwardly smiling, "Guess I got too used to handling everything on my own, forgot I'm not alone in this." Tarquin gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his eyes filled with affection, "He's our son. Whatever it is, we'll face it together from now on. You're not alone anymore."

It was still dark outside, but Elysia felt like she'd just had a sweet treat, her heart blooming with warmth, "Alright, but you need to rest too. Staying up all night isn't good for you."

"I'm not tired yet. I'll rest when I feel like it. You should go back to sleep for a bit."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead.

Elysia blushed, instinctively glancing at Elliot before scolding him softly, "Don't start with that in front of our son."

Tarquin grinned, revealing a set of perfect white teeth, "Can't help wanting to kiss you..."
