Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1410

Pamela asked, “Is this about Punikon? I heard from your dad that the school already expelled him.”

“Yeah, the whole Punikon thing is over now. You and Dad don’t have to worry about it.”

Elysia instinctively knelt down to check Pamela’s pulse, just like she always did.

Pamela was stable these days—as long as nothing too upsetting happened, she was doing pretty well.

Her mind still wasn’t as sharp as it used to be, but there had been a lot of improvement.

After finishing, Elysia smiled and said,

“You’re doing great, Mom. Your health’s looking really good today. Gold star for you.”

Pamela beamed at the compliment,

“I’ve been doing everything you said—taking my medicine, eating on time, going to bed on time. Oh! And I’ve been sticking to those after-dinner walks. Your dad can vouch for me.”

Clayton came out of the kitchen carrying dinner plates,

“She’s right, I can back her up. She’s been doing fantastic. Irene, come on, dinner’s ready!”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

With a smile, Elysia followed her mom to the dining room.

She started eating, while Clayton and Pamela sat with her, chatting as they ate.

“Tarquin called me at lunch,” Clayton said, “He wanted to check if you were awake. He didn’t call you himself because he was worried he’d wake you up.”

Elysia asked, “He didn’t come home for lunch?”

“Nope.”

She figured he must've eaten at work, so she didn’t think much of it. She asked,

“Did he need something?”

“No, just wanted to check in on you. Oh, and he said you don’t need to pick up the kids today—he’ll grab them on his way home.”

“He’s picking them up?”

“Yep.”
