His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

hapter 392

“Bennett, the mess I’ve caused this time, the debts i owe, I’ll never be able to repay them in this lifetime.”

With that, Evadne closed her eyes in anguish, sobbing uncontrollably in Cassius‘ arms.

They had seen their little sister cry before.

In fact, they had seen her shed tears countless times since their childhood. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that their little sister, despite the image of a fierce and proud queen that she projected to the outside world as the Ashbourne family’s young miss, was just a ordinary girl who was fragile and needed affection.

But this time was different.

They could sense that the blow to Evadne was not a normal one. It might take a long time for her to recover from this painful emotional state.

On the way there, Arnold and Bennett had already learned the full details of the whole incident.

Jason was severely injured, but thankfully, he had preserved his life and had the possibility of recovery.

However, the girl named Erica had almost lost all signs of life when she was taken to the ICU.

Evadne was on the verge of kneeling down, begging the doctors to save Erica’s life.

They all prayed silently, hoping that the brave and unfortunate girl could survive this ordeal.

“Big bro, I heard that Jason is also seriously injured. Have you informed the Dempsey family?” Arnold asked with concern.

Cassius‘ expression slowly darkened, “Jason repeatedly asked me to keep this matter secret from his parents before he was taken to the operating room. His parents are getting old, and Mrs. Dempsey has been in poor health. If they know about this, they might not be able to accept it, and this might worsen her condition.”

“But with Jason’s injuries, it will take at least a few months of rest to recover, right? Keeping it a secret for a day or two is one thing, but it’s bound to come out if we wait too long,” Arnold pointed out.

“In that case, let’s wait until the surgery is done. Then, we will inform the Dempseys when all aspects of the his situation are stable. By then, they might find it easier to accept.” Elvis suggested seriously.

“Brothers! You’re all here?!” Aaron rushed over, looking flustered.

All brothers finally gathered, each of them excelling in their own fields. Now, standing together, they seemed capable of summoning dragons for Evadne. But even with all her brothers present, they couldn’t comfort Evadne.

How could they console her?

A delicate young girl took a bullet meant for her; witnessing Erica fall right before her eyes. Anyone with a shred of conscience would be engulfed in overwhelming guilt, unable to escape its grip

“Aaron, weren’t you supposed to give your statement at the police station?”

Elvis froze when he noticed a tall figure standing a few steps away.

At some point, Thaddeus, with his upright and unmoving figure like a pine tree, stood a few steps away. He silently watched, not disturbing the harmonious atmosphere of the family.

Gordon stood silently behind him, looking at the group of men, couldn’t help but feel anxious for Thaddeus.

Even if Thaddeus and Mrs. Abernathy had reconciled, the life ahead of them would not be easy.

The Ashbourne brothers looked at Thaddeus with complex expressions.

Evadne wiped her red eyes and walked towards the man with heavy steps.

Thaddeus watched her coming closer, his heart pounding like a drum.

“Are you okay? Have you taken care of your injuries?” He asked, his voice hoarse.

Evadne didn’t answer his question. She just met his worried gaze, saying, “Erica is still in the emergency room.”

“Okay, she’ll be fine. I’ll wait with you. We’ll wait together.”
