Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Just as Elysia was about to say something, the woman suddenly picked up the little girl and ran off.

She was in such a hurry that she knocked the hotdog right out of Emmett's hand.

Emmett, bewildered, turned to Elysia, "Mommy...?"

Elysia was just as puzzled. She watched the woman's retreating back for a few seconds before turning her attention back to Emmett.

Gently ruffling Emmett's hair, she explained, "Don't worry, Emmett. Her daughter is very sick, and she's upset. That's why she's crying."

The hotdog had fallen to the ground and was now covered in dirt, making it inedible. Elysia picked it up and tossed it into a nearby trash can, then took Emmett's hand and headed towards the hospital wing.

Emmett glanced in the direction the woman had run off and asked Elysia, "Mommy, can't that little girl's sickness be cured?"

"Well, it seems like it can't be cured right now. But she's not a little sister; she's an older sister. She's older than you."

“Ah? But she looks so small, even smaller than a baby."

"That's because her illness and not getting enough to eat have made her look tiny and thin."

Emmett murmured, "They look so pitiful. Is it because they don't have enough money for good food?"

"Maybe. Their family probably spent all their money on the sister's treatment."

Emmett furrowed his brows, "Mommy, can I give them my allowance?"

Elysia smiled, "Of course, you can."

Emmett wanted to help, and she naturally wouldn't object to such a kind gesture.

"If fate allows us to meet them again, we'll lend a hand."

"Yeah."

As mother and son chatted away, they didn't notice the woman watching them from behind.

She kept her gaze on them until they entered the hospital wing, then walked over to the trash can.

She retrieved the slightly dusty

hotdog, dusted it off, and took a bite

before quickly offering it to the waking little girl, "Maria, try this. It's tasty."

The little girl took a bite, “Mmm, it's really good."

The woman's eyes were red, "This was given by a little boy."

"A little boy?"

"Yes, a little boy. You were asleep and didn't see him, but he looked a lot like your brother. I think he was your brother.” Just then, the woman's phone rang. She quickly answered, "Hello? The results are in?... I'm free now, I'll come right away." After hanging up, the woman looked once more in the direction of the hospital wing, then left with her daughter in her arms. Inside Blossom's room.

Enjoying the breakfast Emmett had made, Blossom was nearly moved to tears, "This is so delicious. It's been a long time since I've had food this good."

Hollis, also in the room, nodded in agreement, "is tasty. Ever since Blossom arrived, she's been

complaining about the food here et

was puzzled because I know she' loves to eat, but she's not picky. Now it seems Emmett has spoiled her taste."

Elysia laughed, praising Emmett, "Our Emmett is quite the chef."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Feeling wronged, Blossom added, "Being away from Emmett for over a month, my stomach has really suffered!"

Emmett blushed with pride at the compliments, "Then let's never be apart again, just like Mommy and Emmett, forever." "Deal! Wherever Emmett goes, I'll follow. But if I stick to Emmett every day, won't you get tired of Blossom?"

"Never! Emmett loves Blossom."

Blossom's face lit up with pride and emotion, "See, see, what a

sweetheart! Once I'm out of here, I'll take you out to explore. Silver City has so many places to see

"Yeah, Blossom has to get better soon. No more being sad."

“Blossom won't be sad. Just seeing Emmett makes me happy, and eating Emmett's cooking has made me even happier."
