Chapter 848 Elysia rubbed her nose and frowned, stating, "I'm a doctor myself, I know my own body. I haven't eaten in over a day, and the shock was just too much, that's why I fainted. My body's fine. We need to go find our daughter, right now!" With that, she threw back the covers, ready to jump out of bed! She was determined to go with Tarquin to find their daughter, not wanting to wait another second! But Tarquin stopped her, "You can't go!" Spirit Village was Keith's stronghold, and for them, venturing in was sure to be dangerous! Besides, Tarquin had only just rescued Elysia from Keith's clutches; he couldn't possibly take her into enemy territory and risk it all over again! What if, in the chaos, Keith managed to take Elysia back? However, Elysia insisted, "I have to go! Keith won't tell her I'm her father; at best, she'll see you as an uncle and won't go with you! She's been raised by Keith; she's bound to be attached to him. Even if you find her, you won't be able to bring her back easily.
If we force her, it'll scare her and leave a lasting, terrible impression! But she's been waiting for me. Keith told her I'm her mother, so she won't be afraid when she sees me, and she'll be willing to cback with me." Tarquin felt a pang in his heart, his own daughter preferring Keith, recognizing him as a father figure.
It was a bitter pill to swallow.

Compared to him, their daughter was likely more attached to Keith, and even if he found her, she might not be willing to leave with him! After sthought, Tarquin agreed to Elysia's suggestion.
He decided she would wait outside the village, not letting her enter.
He wished Elysia would rest a bit longer before setting off, but she couldn't wait a second longer! Not knowing her daughter's whereabouts was agonizing for her.
Now that she knew, she was desperate to see her daughter immediately! Understanding her, Tarquin made arrangements, and after ensuring Elysia ate sfood and snacks in the car, they set off to Spirit Village to find their daughter! Before leaving, he made sure she had a hearty meal of sandwiches and cookies in the car, watching over her as she ate.
After all, a person needs their strength, and he wouldn't be at ease until she had sfood in her.
Once Elysia had eaten and seemed more spirited, Tarquin finally asked her, "Keith mentioned a feud with my father?" He was almost certain Keith held a grudge against the Bradford family.
But what did this hatred have to do with his own father? Elysia furrowed her brows and recounted the events at Hill Village to Tarquin.

Tarquin explained, "I know what kind of man my dad was. He had and principles, was kind-hearted strong gentle: He would never do something as cruel as neglecting a child." The idea of Kendrick dragging a child by the leg into the dangerous mountains on a stormy night was something Tarquin couldn't accept.
In the entire Bradford family, except for Kendrick, he might believe it of anyone else. But Kendrick? He refused to believe it!
Tarquin continued, "My mom was intelligent and kind-hearted, not blinded by love. The man she chose had to be virtuous and principled. There were many who pursued her, but she chose my dad, proving his character was sound. Moreover, when you truly love someone, you love everything they love, even to the point of irrationality.
Just like how I loved Elliot and Evan before I knew they were mine, or how I still love Emmett even though we're not related by blood." word wor word ord ord ord ord mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
