His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 269

Upon entering, Evadne had heard from Gordon that Thaddeus had coughed up blood again, and quite a bit at that. A wave of trepidation washed over her.

If Thaddeus didn’t pull through this time, or if he contracted a chronic illness that couldn’t be cured, she would be forever indebted to him. She would live with guilt every day.

So, with a stern face, she walked over to his bedside, grabbed his wrist without a hint of kindness, and checked his pulse.

Thaddeus watched her, his eyes slightly widened. The seriousness with which she was going about this was almost comical. She looked like an old, experienced doctor diagnosing his

allments.

“Your current state is pretty critical and you need to take your medicine immediately. If you wait till tomorrow, it might be too late!” Evadne said, irritation seeping into her tone. Just as she was about to let go of his hand, Thaddeus swiftly caught her cool, petite hand in his large warm palm.

Evadne gasped, her breath hitching in surprise.

“Your hands are so cold. Is it chilly outside?” Thaddeus asked, his rough fingers gently caressing the back of her hand. Seeing the scars still present on her hand, he felt a pang of guilt and regret. “I’m sorry for making you come here so late because of me.”

“You should be sorry! And if you are, then take your damn medicine. Stop being so stubborn!” Evadne scolded, trying to regain control of her emotions. She yanked her hand away from his increasingly warm palm, “Are you still a baby? Can’t you take your medicine by yourself? Do you need me to spoon–feed you?”

“No,” Thaddeus replied, his voice soft. “I just didn’t know any other way to make you come see me. I just wanted to see you, Evadne.”

“Fine, you’ve seen me. Will you take your medicine now?” Evadhe retorted, unimpressed by his submissive demeanor.

Frustrated and agitated by Bennett and Jason’s words, she checked her watch Impatiently, “Quickly take it. After that, I need to go back to Skyrim. It’s rare for Bennett to be home and spend time with us. I don’t have time to waste here with you!”

Thaddeus winced at her harsh words. His fingers slowly clenched into a fist.

His ex–wife, who used to be full of love and patience for him, barely had any tolerance left now.
