Chapter 422

In less than half a month’s time, Thaddeus had gone from being critically injured to regaining consciousness.

Most people would not have made it past the emergency room, and even if they did barely survive, it was probable that they would be in a coma for one and two months, or even more. According to Chasel’s analysis, Thaddeus‘ inherent physical strength and his previous long time military training played a significant role in his survival and recovery.

The next morning, Evadne accompanied Thaddeus for a comprehensive medical check–up.

Throughout the process, Thaddeus was as docile as a child who was led by his mother to a doctor’s appointment, following Evadne’s instructions without any complaints.

“Have you ever seen Evadne like this before? Full of maternal warmth, I feel like I should bow down to her in salute,” Elvis said, his eyes filled with envy as he watched Evadne tuck Thaddeus who was sitting in a wheelchair into a blanket.

“Unfortunately, once she finds a man, her brothers become as significant as forgotten dolls in the attic.” Elvis continued, “Evadne won’t even spare a glance for us now”

“Well, can’t blame her. Who wouldn’t feel for a man like Thaddeus? Jareth retorted, taking his chance to mock Elvis, “Perhaps if you mutilate yourself, Evadne might shift her attention back to you”

Tim Evadne’s brother. I grew up with Evadne! I have been there for her since childhood, made toys for her, tied her shoelaces, cleaned up after her meals, and took the blame for her mischief!” Elvis exclaimed, growing more frustrated. “And Thaddeus just came along and stole her away from us. Why should we compete for her attention with him?”

“Because Evadne loves him. Jareth replied nonchalantly while yawning, “You better accept this fact, Elvis. No one can break them apart now after what they’ve gone through”

“Elvis, you’re not a petulant kid. Stop being like one, Cassius and Chasel approached them, their silhouettes illuminated by the soft morning sunlight.

“Mr. Fairhaven is right. You will have to admit Thaddeus is your future brother–in–law. Unless Evadne decides never to marry, you won’t have another brother–in–law in this lifetime‘

They were of same gender, yet they seemed a match for each other in Elvis and Jareth’s eyes. One was wild and alluring, the other refined and reticent; One looked charming and steadfast, the other attractive and gentle.

It was a shame that Chasel was a man. If he were a woman, they surely were a perfect match.

“You just wait and see!” Elvis was fuming. In the future. Thaddeus must many into the Ashboume family.”

“Well? Sounds absolutely great Jareth spoke on his friend’s behalf, “The Ashbourne family have nine kids and Chairman Emeric has three wives. Even so, he’s able to support your daily life without difficulty. Adding Thad wouldn’t hurt.”

Chasel dissolved into laughter, “You seem to be more eager than your friend himself when it comes to getting married.”

Hearing that, Cassius gazed at this charming company next to him. As if they had mutual affinity, Chasel looked over their gazes met unexpectedly

Cassius pretended to be unruffled, though his heart fluttered unwittingly, his dry throat exposed his nervousness anyway.

“So sweet, huh? Wait until Thaddeus marries into our family, Пl order him to cook for us, wash dishes and do the formalities every day he wakes up. Not only that, their kids would be surnamed Ashbourne instead!” Elvis exclaimed in frustration.

“That’s just a slight to Thad. Only let him cook? You should make him wash your feet and give you massage,” Jareth couldn’t help feeling thrilled, as if he had already pictured Thaddeus future life in the Ashbourne family.

Meanwhile, Evadne finished Thaddeus‘ check–up, and rolled him over to the group.

“What are you guys laughing about? You’re not gossiping about us, are you?” Evadne asked suspiciously, gazing at Jareth and Elvis. Luckily, Arnold wasn’t there; otherwise, it’d be a boisterous scene.

“Oh, how dare I mock the beloved Thaddeus? Elvis replied enviously.

“Enough, Elvis,” Cassius warned.
