Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



In the corner, White flicked its red tongue, eyeing the Cecil couple with intent.

Atop its head sat a miniature camera, capturing everything that unfolded outside the emergency room.

This included the previous exchange between Tarquin, Elysia, and the Cecils.

Back at the hotel, Elliot, Evan, and Elijah were watching everything unfold clearly.

Evan was livid, "Emmett's dad is a piece of work!"

Elliot and Elijah furrowed their brows, already aware of the situation since yesterday.

Emmett's family situation was a mess!

His dad was the epitome of laziness, never holding down a job and indulging in every vice imaginable.

Instead of working to pay for his daughter's medical bills, he'd siphon off the money meant for her treatment!

Emmett's mom's salary, government assistance, and donations from kind-hearted folks mostly ended up funding his gambling addiction.

And Emmett's mom...

To put it bluntly, she was a piece of work too!

She truly loved her child, enduring much hardship to pay for her daughter's medical bills.

But there's truth in the saying, "Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."

She wasn't bad, but her actions were infuriating!

Emmett's grandparents were literally worried sick by her.

They saw through Cecil's facade and urged her to divorce him. Not only did she ignore their advice, but she also conned them out of their savings along with Cecil.

Up until their last breath, they were concerned for their daughter, advising her to leave Cecil.

But she wouldn't listen, and now she's still with him...

How could a family like this ever be warm and happy?

It wasn't a matter of finances, but rather the people involved!

"Bro! We've got to do something. We can't let Emmett be taken away by them!" Evan was anxious.

Elliot's brow was furrowed in thought. They couldn't let Emmett go back to them!

Not for their mom's sake, nor for Emmett's.

It would destroy their mom, and ruin Emmett's life!

But they were Emmett's biological parents, and they had custody.

They needed a solid plan!

Suddenly, a knock on the door, Emmett's voice came through,

"Bro, are you guys in there?"

The brothers exchanged looks, quickly shutting off the computer.noveldrama

Evan went to open the door, his eyes reddening a bit upon seeing Emmett, freshly aware of the situation, "What's up, Emmett?"

"I just wanted to let you know,

breakfast's ready. I've kept it warm in the box, so you can eat anytime.

I'm heading to the hospital to bring Blossom and mom their breakfast."

Evan turned to Elliot, seeking guidance.

With Emmett's biological parents still at the hospital, should Emmett even go?

After a few seconds, Elliot said,

"You've done well, Emmett. Evan, go with Emmett to the hospital."

Evan nodded firmly, "Right! I'll keep Emmett safe."

a way!

If Cecil dared to make a move on Emmett, he'd make sure Cecil regretted it.

No matter who it was, even Emmett's biological father, they'd be Evan Thorne's enemy if they hurt his mom or brother!

Elijah looked at Emmett with a serious expression,

"Emmett, you'll always be our brother!"

Elliot also placed a gentle hand on Emmett's head,

"Emmett will always be our brother, and we'll always be a family."

Unaware of the situation, Emmett looked up at his brothers with wide, innocent eyes, asking curiously,
