His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 275

When Thaddeus was discharged from the hospital, the backlog of work that had piled up during his hospital stay kept him busy for three straight days and nights. These days, his health had been fluctuating. He was surviving on medications and the IV drips Evadne had given him, hoping and praying for a swift recovery. After all, how was he supposed to protect the ones he loved with his frail health?

“Mr. Thaddeus, it’s time for your meds,” Gordon said, placing the medicine and a bottle of mineral water on a tray in front of Thaddeus.

Thaddeus was engrossed in his documents, “I’m busy. Later,” he said without looking up.

“Well, if you don’t take your medicine on time, I will have to report your disobedience to Mrs. Abernathy,” Gordon said, giving Thaddeus a stern look. “She contacted me the other day and asked me to ensure you take your medicine on time. If there are any issues, I am to report them to her immediately.”

Thaddeus reluctantly picked up the medicine and the water bottle. Gordon nodded in approval, a wry smile formed on his lips.

He felt a pang of regret thinking about how obedient Thaddeus has been recently. If only he had been this obedient three years ago, he and Mrs. Abernathy might have already had given birth to a bunch of children.

“What’s the latest with Mrs. Abernathy?” Thaddeus asked, swallowing his medicine with a grimace as the bitter taste hit his tongue. He reached into his drawer for a piece of chocolate, hoping to wash away the unpleasant taste.

He had found the chocolate, a leftover snack from Evadne, and had kept it treasured in his office drawer. It was his comfort food whenever he felt stressed.

“I heard that Chairman Emeric’s daughter, Myra, is having her birthday soon. Mrs. Abernathy seems to be busy planning for it at the hotel,” Gordon informed him. “Myra, the former actress?” Thaddeus asked casually.

“Yes, that’s her! My mother’s idol! I remember watching her shows every day when I was a kid. My mother even had a dress made that was identical to one Myra wore in a show. It was a shame that she retired early,” Gordon reminisced with a tinge of regret.

“Why did she retire unexpectedly?” Thaddeus asked.

“Apparently, she was accused of using illegal drugs. The scandal almost ruined her career. Chairman Emeric managed to clear her name, but the damage was done, and she decided to retire,” Gordon explained. “Oh, I really admire Chairman Emeric. They all say that he is proud of his love and has a beautiful woman back. He will lend a helping hand when the beauty needs help the most. No woman can withstand it!

Gordon said as he glanced at Thaddeus expression, his tone inevitably a bit sarcastic.

Sure enough, Thaddeus’s jaw line was stiff, only feeling that Gordon’s words were slightly harsh.

The result was even harsher. “With all due respect, your former father–in–law can deal with so many wives in the family and they are all obedient to him. Why can’t you handle Mrs. Abernathy alone? Otherwise, why don’t you even make an appointment with Chairperson Emeric to learn from him?”

Thaddeus‘ handsome face was deep, and he bit out a few words between his teeth. “Learn from him? Do you want me to ask Chairman Emeric how to handle his daughter? Are you insane to say such nonsense?”

Gordon was scared, “Ahem. Mr. Thaddeus, I’m worried for you too! With the speed at which you and Mrs. Abernathy have pressed the slow–motion button, will I be able to see you two reunite in my lifetime? You saved Mrs. Abernathy last time, but Mrs. Abernathy is still cold to you. In the past two days, except for calling me to ask about your situation as a routine, she hasn’t come to see you once. I really feel sorry for you and feel sad for you.”

In the past, whenever she heard that Mr. Thaddeus was coming back from outside, Mrs. Abernathy would prepare a table of good dishes early and then stand outside the villa eagerly, waiting for Mr. Thaddeus to come home.”
