"I did lie to you before, and I don't actually know your mom. I have no idea who she is. She and I... we had a one- night stand, and that's how you cinto existence." Elijah's breath hitched, and his eyes widened in disbelief! He looked incredulously at Tarquin, "What?" Tarquin continued, "When I returned to the country to take over the Bradford Group, I upset spowerful interests. They sent someone after me, and I was drugged. In the urgency of the moment, going to the hospital wasn't an option, so that's how I ended up with your mom. It was dark, and I couldn't make out her face. By the tthe danger was over and I went to look for her, she had vanished. So for the past six years, I've been searching for her, but to no avail. I don't even know what she looks like." Elijah paused, stunned. This sounded just like Elliot and Evan's mother's story.

Elliot had said Tarquin met their mommy on the day he returned to the country, at the airport! Now, Tarquin was saying he met Elijah's own mommy under the scircumstances! What did this mean? Elijah's breathing becrapid, "How many women did you... encounter that day?" Seeing his son so worked up, Tarquin grew anxious, fearing for his well-being, he stood up as well, "Elijah, you need to calm down. Getting upset could make you sick, you..." "Just answer me!" Elijah nearly roared, his face turning beet red.
Tarquin, looking earnest, said, "That day, it was only your mom... She's the only one I've ever been with!" Elijah held his breath, staring straight at Tarquin! He had only been with her...
So, Elysia was his mom! Elijah trembled all over, even his lips quivered.
"Hah!" Suddenly, Elijah laughed, and the next second, he burst into tears.
Tarquin was taken aback and quickly pulled his son into his arms, "Elijah..." He was both shocked and confused. He had just said he had only been with Elijah's mom, why was he crying? Elijah had never cried like this before! In the past, Elijah's tears were during his episodes, amid extragitation and discomfort.

Today, he seemed not to be having an episode but crying like any other child would when their emotions peak. His cries were filled with grievance, joy, and something indescribable.
Tarquin, unable to understand, tried to soothe his son, "Elijah, you can talk to Daddy about anything on your e mind. Whatever you say, I will listen carefully, and I'll answer any question you have. I won't lie to you anymore. Can you try to calm down?" "Elysia! Elysia..." Elijah sobbed uncontrollably. Tarquin hurriedly asked, "Do you miss Elysia?" Elijah nodded frantically, "Yes! I miss her so much." "Then I'll call her over to be with you right now!" Elijah shook his head just as frantically, "It's dark, the roads are slippery!" "You're worried about her safety coming over now? How about I take you to her, would that be alright?"
"Yes! Find her!" Elijah buried himself in Tarquin's embrace, crying fiendely.
