NovelFinishChapter 344 "Cough cough!" Tarquin coughed twice, frowning and rubbing his chest, looking quite uncomfortable.
Elijah, seeing this, quickly ran over. "Dad?" He squatted down, rubbing Tarquin's chest. "What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling bad?" Although Elijah was mad at him for making Elysia sad, and a bit frustrated at his cluelessness for not realizing Elysia was his true love and repeatedly causing , his love for Tarquin was genuine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElijah wasn't much for words, but he knew well who treated him kindly. Seeing Tarquin in discomfort, he was worried.
Elysia really didn't want to deal with this jerk, but if she didn't, it would only upset Elijah more. And seeing how anxious Elijah was, she felt sympathy too.
"Drinking too much is bound to make him feel sick, but don't worry, it's a normal reaction. He'll feel better once he's sobered up." No sooner had Elysia finished speaking than Tarquin made a vomiting gesture, startling her. She quickly cforward, pulling him up. "Don't just throw up here! Get to the bathroom!" Tarquin's eyes were still closed, clearly not awake yet, but he must have heard Elysia, as he staggered up, letting her guide him to the bathroom. As soon as the toilet lid was lifted, he began to throw up violently.
Elysia was disgusted, but she didn't leave him alone. She stood by his side, gently patting his back, hoping to help him sober up a bit more smoothly. Elijah, feeling very sorry for his dad, quickly ran to the kitchen to fetch a glass of warm water.
Elysia asked, "Do we have any hangover remedy at home?" "I don't know, should I go buy some?" "The pharmacy's closed by now, never mind, it's okay not to have the hangover remedy. He'll be fine after sleeping it off." Elijah frowned, "Why did he drink so much?" Elysia shook her head, "I don't know." "Did he drink with you?" "No, he was brought to my place drunk, and then I brought him back here. Does he often get drunk?" "No. He's a heavy smoker, but not much of a drinker. He only drinks heavily when he's really upset. This is the first the's gotten drunk in front of me." The first time? Elysia was somewhat surprised, giving Tarquin another glance. Judging by Elijah alone, he was a decent dad.
Nowadays, there are plenty of dads out there drowning in alcohol, completely disregarding their children's mental and physical health, getting drunk in front of them as if it's nothing. Alcohol is no good thing, and people tend to lose control when drunk, their behavior becoming unseemly, which is not beneficial for a child's upbringing at all! The fact that Tarquin refrained from getting drunk in front of Elijah showed his awareness of this. It also proved that he was a decent dad, at least in front of Elijah! Even if he was nothing in front of Elliot Evan, in front of Elijah, he did quite well! "He's upset tonight," Elijah suddenly said with a hint of sadness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hmm?" "Something must have happened to upset him, otherwise he wouldn't have drunk so much. I know him."
Elysia thought for a moment, recalling their conversation in the gazebo before they parted, and she had an epiphany!
His sadness must be because of Elijah's mother! He must be missing her! What right did he have to miss her? Elysia pursed her lips, but then, thinking from another angle, he did seem quite devoted!
Seeing Elijah with a worried expression, Elysia said, "Everyone has their moments of sadness it's not possible to be happy all the time.
Don't worry about him. Getting drunk is just his way of venting his emotions. He'll stop feeling sad once he's sober." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
