Blossom said with a sigh, “I’ve heard that poor kid's got it rough. Two years back he was kidnapped, and it’s left
him with sserious trauma. He's been living in fear ever since. Imagine being so young and scared all the
time, day and night. No wonder he gets sick all the time. And the parents? They suffer too. Mrs. Denton used to
be the belle of Jindale City, but after having kids, she put on a lot of weight, ballooning up to 400 pounds. No
matter what she tried, she couldn’t shed the pounds. But once Corbin had his incident, she dropped over a
hundred pounds in just two months. Word is, she’s been crying her eyes out... When a child gets sick, it's not just
the kid who suffers, the parents do too.”
Elysia just listened quietly, a flicker of another person’s image crossing her mind.
Families dealing with a child's psychological issues, the parents are always to be pitied.
Elijah has psychological issues too, and his mother isn’t even around...
Mrs. Denton’s heartbroken, but at least Mr. Denton’s there with her, someone to talk to, someone to
share the burden.
But that other person... he’s got to bear all the hardship alone, playing both mom and dad.

And yet, what of it?
He deserves it!
This time, thinking of him, Elysia felt no pity, only a burning resentment.
There's truth to the saying: Those who are pitiable often have their despicable sides!
“So, getting back to it, how did you end up helping Corbin?” Blossom asked.
Elysia snapped back to reality and recounted her interactions with the Denton family.
Blossom was surprised. “The missing person notice the Denton family put out was actually looking for you?”
“Yeah, over the years I've read a lot about child psychology, case studies and stuff. | guess I'm sort of a semi-pro
by now.”
After all, without a degree or certification, that’s all she could claim to be.
Blossom gave her a thumbs-up, “You go, girl! And what about that wild man, how did he start trouble again?”
Mentioning him, Elysia was fuming as she recounted the story to Blossom.
Blossom was outraged, “What a scumbag! He actually kidnapped Emmett to scare you?”
“Even though they didn’t hurt Emmett, I'm still furious.”
“Of course, you are. Scaring someone like that is just cruel. If it were me, I'd be scared to death! Elysia, you can’t
let this keep happening. That wild man and your ex, they're both trouble. They've latched onto you. If you ask
me, you should just tell us who they are, or tell Zane. We'll help you deal with them!”

Elysia took a deep breath and said, “Let's wait and see. If there's a next time, I'll ask for help.”
She didn’t want to expose the wild man’s identity for two reasons: she wasn’t sure if he was the child's father,
and she didn’t want to get too entangled with him to avold revealing her child's existence.
As for not exposing his husband Tarquin, she didn’t want Blossom and Zane to cross the powerful. Bradford
family because of him.
you. Whenever you need us, we'll be there, no questions asked.”
Blossom heaved a sigh, “It’s up to you. We won't push you, but just remember we're always here for ”

Elysia smiled. “Love you guys.”
Blossom patted her cheek gently and said, “Alright, no more sadness.”
“Yeah, | didn’t lose out today. | even got a few scratches in on that wild man. He had no leg to stand on, didn’t
dare touchback.”
“You should've scratched him a few more
times to vent!”
Elysia chuckled again, “You go on and keep an eye on the triplets. I'll just pop to the restroom to freshen up, and
I'll be right there.”
“Sure thing.”
Elysia headed to the restroom to wash her face and tidy up her hair, reflecting on the day’s events
with a sigh.
Seems like her streak of bad luck wasn’t over; even a simple outing could stir up so much trouble.
Suddenly, she overheard a conversation nearby.
