Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin)

The hospital room was in chaos, but Elysia didn't sweat it. She knew Winona was faking it.

Doctors and nurses were in a frenzy, quickly reaching out to Zane.

"Are you Winona's family? You need to get to the hospital right away. Winona and your mother have gotten into a fight, and things aren't looking good."

Before the doctor could finish, Winona snatched the phone.

"Honey, come back quick! There's an old witch here trying to ruin me, saying you should divorce me. I'm so scared, please come back!"

Priscilla couldn't believe Winona had the nerve to blame her after hitting her. She shouted into the phone,

"Son, come back! Winona's trying to beat me to death! My dear boy!"

Zane was driving, his head pounding with frustration. If he wasn't stressed before, he sure was now!

He ended the call and rang Elysia,

"Elysia, what's going on? How did Winona end up fighting with my mom? Everything was fine when I left."

Elysia, clearly irritated, replied,

"After you left, your mom went on some kind of rampage, demanding to see my phone messages!"

"I told her no, and she got all upset, yelling at me."

"Winona's already on edge, and when your mom started shouting, Winona lost it, thinking she was in danger!"

"If you don't believe me, check the hospital cameras. I'm still mad, Zane. What's up with your mom?!"

"I barely know her, and she thinks she can just demand to see my phone?"

"And what's all that nonsense about women who've had kids being worthless?"

"She even said I couldn't step foot in the Livingston family home. When did I ever say I wanted to?"

Zane felt like his head was about to explode-not at Elysia, but at his own mom! Trying to keep his cool, he reassured Elysia,

"Calm down, don't worry about her. I'll handle this when I get back!"

"I don't need you to handle anything for me! Just get your mom in check! I've

never met anyone like her before!"

After Elysia's outburst, she hung up.

Soon, Priscilla's phone rang again.noveldrama

Seeing it was her son, she answered, brimming with indignation,

"My dear son..."

Zane cut her off, "What on earth are you doing?! I told you Winona's not well, she's paranoid! Why would you provoke her? And why are you going through Elysia's phone? Are you out of your mind?!"

Zane's voice was so loud it was practically shaking the phone.

Priscilla felt wronged,

"I didn't provoke anyone! You can't just listen to them and scold your mom!

They're practically killing me here, and you don't even care?"

"I raised you from a baby, you can't forget your mother now that you have a wife, my dear boy!"

"You... just stay put in the room until I get there!" Zane hung up.

Priscilla's cries were heart-wrenching.

The phone's volume was so high, everyone in the room heard it.

The doctors and nurses exchanged bewildered glances.

Winona and Elysia shared a secretive look, giving each other a wink.

Neither of them thought much of Priscilla and Zane. Let them fight it out!

A little while later, Elysia's phone rang again. It was Zane.

Elysia pursed her lips and ignored it.

Zane kept calling, but she didn't pick up.

He texted her, but she didn't reply.
