Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1891

"It wouldn't be too embarrassing for a child to lose to an adult."

Elysia Thorne sighed softly. "I'm mainly just worried about Emmett."

Tarquin Bradford wrapped an arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

"There are bound to be bumps on a child's path to growing up. Some pain is necessary for them to experience. We can't intervene; we can only be there to support and comfort them."

"Emmett is innocent and easy to console. If he loses, he'll definitely cry, but with a little comforting from us, he'll bounce right back."

"Besides, the chances of him actually losing are incredibly slim. Don't overthink it."

Elysia let out a long breath and asked another question.

"But what if he does lose? Will Quincy's life's work really fall into the hands of bad people?"

Tarquin answered immediately.

"No! Don't worry, you still have me. No matter what, I won't let Quincy's legacy be handed over to a sellout."

Seeing how certain he was, Elysia finally felt at ease.

The two of them left Emmett's room together, turned off the lights, and quietly shut the door.

They checked on the other four children before heading back to their own bedroom to rest.

Lying in bed, Elysia asked him,

"I haven't even had the chance to ask you yet. Did you find anything at the Kim residence today?"

Tarquin replied,

"Jae-hyun Kim had a cornea and kidney transplant last year. Supposedly, the left eye and one of the kidneys belonged to Zane Livingston."

Elysia shot up from his embrace in shock. "Zane's?!"

Tarquin pulled her back into his arms, stroking her hair to soothe her.

"That's what Jae-hyun claimed."

Elysia's brows knitted tightly together.

"No wonder Winona and I felt such a strong aversion the moment we saw him!"
