Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1640

After lunch, they all chatted in the room until a little after three in the afternoon.

Janelle and Richard had to leave to prepare dinner. Before they left, Janelle asked, "When will the paternity test results be ready?"

They didn't know that Winona had knocked Beatrix out and brought her here; they thought Beatrix had fainted on her own and been admitted to the hospital.

"Benjamin said this evening at the earliest," Tarquin replied. "You and Janelle should go home and rest. We'll have Keaton call you as soon as there's news."

Richard and Janelle nodded together. "Alright."

It was obvious how nervous they both were. Elysia and Winona exchanged a look, their hearts aching for them.

After Janelle and Richard left, Tarquin sat by the bed, talking with Keaton. Winona and Elysia settled on the sofa to watch a show together.

As they were watching, Winona's head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep on Elysia's shoulder.

"Winona?" Elysia said, surprised.

Winona was already breathing deeply, completely unresponsive.

Elysia was speechless. "..."

Tarquin turned his head. "She's asleep?"

Elysia nodded, whispering, "She used to be such a light sleeper. Now she just conks out instantly."

Tarquin walked over. "There's a bed in the other room."

Keaton's VIP suite had an adjoining room with a cot for visitors.

Elysia carefully supported Winona's head as she gently stood up. "It's fine, let her sleep on the sofa for a bit. We have to go pick up the kids soon anyway. If she's out here, Keaton can keep an eye on her."

Keaton glanced at the time. It was already past three o'clock. The kindergarten let out around four, and the hospital was some distance away. It was time for them to go.
