No sooner had Evadne stepped into the hospital room than Jason received a call from Bennett.

“Mr. Bennett.”

“Jason! As Evadne’s assistant, how could you not report her whereabouts to us immediately?”

Bennett began interrogating, “Why are you and Evadne at Elmsworth Second Hospital now? Is she there to see Thaddeus?” Cassius’s calm voice followed, “Bennett, cool down.”

Actually, Bennett was usually mild–mannered, but anytime Evadne was involved, he would instantly lose his cool.)

Jason was taken aback, blinking in confusion, “Mr. Bennett, how did you know?”

Evadne’s visit to Thaddeus was supposed to be top secret!

“Satellite tracking.”

Cassius sighed helplessly, ‘Bennett is practically using all the tactics for hunting down fugitives, and still can’t keep track of one person?”

Jason was silent.

“Calm down, Bennett. You know Evadne well enough, no amount of scolding or shouting will make her come back obediently.”

Cassius seemed to have accepted the situation, saying nonchalantly, “We’re all adults here, let her do as she pleases.”

“I’ll immediately dispatch a security team to surround the hospital, hands–on at the door of the ward. Jason, it’s going to be a long night for you. If that beast Thaddeus does anything evil to Evadne, you tell me immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Bennett!” Jason could feel the pressure from the young colonel, standing at attention.

Bennett was furious, his voice full of chilling intimidation, “If Thaddeus dares to lay a finger on my baby sister, he won’t be able to leave that hospital in this lifetime!”

Evadne agreed to stay with him, Thaddeus happily took his medicine and applied his ointment.

The hospital’s dinner was bland and unappealing.

But with Evadne by his side, Thaddeus was enjoying every bite, feeling like the simple meal was the best thing he’d eaten in years.

Seeing Thaddeus wolfing down his food as if he hadn’t eaten in days, Evadne decided to order something for herself as a late–night snack.
