NovelFinishChapter 562 Elysia looked noticeably unwell, her complexion pale and her body weak.
Tarquin's face was etched with concern and tenderness as he gently scooped Elysia up, lifting her in his arms to carry her to the infirmary. He carefully settled her on the hospital bed, then watched as Benjamin started an IV drip for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Benjamin was done, he said, "You go handle your stuff, I've got this covered." Tarquin remained silent, his gaze fixed on Elysia for a long moment before he finally spoke, "I'm not going after all." "Huh?" Benjamin was taken aback, "Why the sudden change of heart?" Elliot was also surprised, looking at him.
After all, Tarquin was supposed to investigate the culprit, a matter of great importance! Tarquin offered a half-hearted explanation, "Lowell and Axel are on it. They don't needthere." Benjamin glanced at Elysia, realizing Tarquin's reluctance stemmed from his concern for her.
"Alright then, I'll leave this in your hands. I'm heading to the lab to check on the progress with the poison analysis. I'll cfind you when I have something." "Okay." " After Benjamin left, Tarquin turned to the kids with a serious tone, "I appreciate how worried you've been for Elijah. Thank you. Elijah is lucky to have friends like you. Once Elijah is feeling better, I'll treat you guys to dinner." Evan mumbled under his breath, "We were worried about Elijah, not doing it for you." "Either way, I know you're all good kids, full of loyalty and heart. Elysia raised you right." Evan beamed with pride, "My mom is the best, the best in the whole world!" Tarquin turned to look at Elysia, appearing to be asleep, and said from the bottom of his heart, "She really is." She was kind, optimistic, strong, and independent, with a heart full of love and solid morals. Despite being non- confrontational, she wasn't afraid to stand up for her children, going head-to-head with the formidable Nola, and even taking on the Bradford family women for Elijah.
After facing so many setbacks and raising her children on her own, she never harbored any resentment. She still loved life, was hopeful for the future, and radiated positive energy.
Her children were well-raised, too-clear about right and wrong, full of optimism, and brimming with life.
She was a great mother! And a wonderful woman! Ordinary at a glance, but truly one of a kind! Tarquin shifted his gaze back from the window to the kids, "It's almost dawn. You guys should get srest in the next room. I'll take care of her." The kids glanced at him, then at Elysia, clearly worried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTarquin's tone was gentle, "The doctor said she's just exhausted. A good sleep will do her wonders. Don't worry about her. And don't worry abouttaking advantage of her while she's out. She saved Elijah, which means she saved me. She's my savior, and I would never betray her trust." Elliot looked at him with mixed emotions, "What about you? Don't you need to rest?" He had been through a lot as well. Wasn't he tired? "I'm not tired. You kids go get ssleep, alright?"
After a moment of hesitation, Elliot didn't say anything more and ushered e his brothers to rest. Suddenly, Tarquin asked, "Do you guys need help getting to sleep? If so, I can help." The kids blinked at him, not quite understanding.
Tarquin explained, "Do you need a bedtstory or something? If you do, just letknow." The kids: "..."
Tarquin added, "Elijah doesn't see your mom as a stranger, and youn don't have to be formal witheither. If there's anything I can help with, just say the word."
Elysia truly loved Elijah, and he would genuinely reciprocate that love for her children. He might not have Elysia's attention to detail or her knack for caregiving, but he was willing to try. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
