Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1378

By the time Elysia and Tarquin left the hospital, it was already past midnight.

Victor was fine-he'd just gotten all worked up, so now Benjamin was looking after him.

Once they got outside, Elysia finally saw Winona's message.

Winona had texted her about half an hour ago.

Blossom was already asleep. Winona told her not to worry, just to finish up and head home to get some rest.

Not wanting to disturb anyone, and knowing the kids had school early in the morning, Elysia decided not to swing by Tanhe Manor. She just asked Tarquin to drive her straight home.

On the way, Elysia stared out the window and let out a long breath.

Tarquin glanced over. "Feeling down?"

"Not really. Honestly, it felt good to put Sabrina in her place. She's a disaster for medicine. Kicking her out of the field is a relief."

"Then why the frown?"

Elysia sighed again, turning to Tarquin. "I just―suddenly, I get where Grandma was coming from."

"No wonder she worries so much about the future of medicine, even at her age. It's kind of sad."

"These days, Victor's the best we've got, but he's not even close to Grandma's level! The Stevenson family doesn't have anyone to carry the torch, and it's not like there's some new prodigy out there. What's going to happen to medicine when Victor's gone?"

"Benjamin told me our standing in the World Pharmaceutical Organization keeps slipping lower and lower. We barely have a voice anymore."
