Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1230

Ever since Elysia got her hands on those files about the virus, she'd become completely obsessed-eating, sleeping, everything else took a back seat.

To say she worked herself into the ground wouldn't be an exaggeration.

She'd be up late into the night, sometimes staring at her laptop until three in the morning. If Tarquin didn't practically drag her to bed, she'd probably pull all- nighters every night.

Even after less than four hours of sleep, she'd be up at dawn, pouring over the data all day.

That evening, she suddenly announced, "I need to go to the hospital."

She looked so serious that Tarquin asked, “Is it urgent?"

"It's urgent. I have to go now," she replied, grabbing her coat.

Tarquin knew there was no stopping her, so he just got his keys and went with her.

Clayton and the kids all knew she was working on something important-they didn't get in her way, just told her to go and not worry about things at home.

On the drive over, Elysia's brows were furrowed in worry.

Tarquin reached over and squeezed her hand. "Do your best and let the chips fall where they may. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

If she could help beat this virus, that'd be amazing. If she couldn't, it wasn't her fault.

Elysia nodded, but her frown deepened. "Zane is absolutely ruthless," she muttered, shaking her head.
