One was thrown into utter disarray by his son's words. The other, clueless about the specifics, couldn't fathom the other's logic, looking at him as if he were a fool.

If I say he can't be your son, then he can't be your son!" Elysia retorted through clenched teeth, "Letmake this clear: my decision to be Elijah's mother is solely for his benefit, and it has nothing to do with you! Elijah is suffering from psychological issues stemming from his mother. Now that we've found a way to divert his attention, you, as his father, should be grateful, supportive! If you want Elijah to recover quickly and are againstbeing his temporary mom, then I suggest you find a way to bring back Elijah's biological mother!" Tarquin clenched his jaw, fury written all over his face.
Elysia stood her ground. "If you can't bring her back, then shut it!" With those words, she stormed off.
Meanwhile, Elijah had already received a message from Elliot: [The DNA test results are in; you and Mommy are biologically related!] Elijah bolted upright in bed, his eyes immediately welling up as he stared at the message from Elliot. Though he had been almost certain the night before, now there was no room for doubt.
Elysia was indeed the mother he had longed for! He was Elysia's biological son! Elliot sent another message: [Elijah, can you talk now?] Quickly wiping away his tears, Elijah eagerly called Elliot.
"Elijah, I'm so glad you're our real brother! It's not just the three of us anymore; we're now a band of four brothers!" Hearing this, Elijah beceven more emotional, struggling to speak through the lump in his throat. Elliot continued, "Evan and Emmett already know, and they're thrilled, too. Let's meet up this afternoon." "Yeah!" "We're currently at preschool, but we're planning to sneak off to the amusement park later. Find a way to get Mommy to take you, and we'll meet there." "Yeah!" After hanging up, Elijah took several deep breaths, still unable to calm his racing heart. The joy of having a mother and brothers was overwhelming! He now had four family members who, unlike the Bradfords, didn't wish ill on him but loved and cherished him! Brimming with excitement, Elijah eventually went to seek out Elysia and Tarquin.
Both adults were delighted at the idea of visiting the amusement park. For a child grappling with mental N.
health issues, expressing a desire to go out was a significant step forward! Elysia was still peeved at Tarquin for his earlier remarks and would have preferred not to have him tag along.
