Chapter 490
Thaddeus stared at the unfamiliar number flashing on his phone screen, momentarily immobilized. Not many people had his private number, and he never bothered with wrong numbers or cold calls. But this time, his heart inexplicably raced out of control.
Pressing the answer button, he brought the phone to his ear, “Hello?”
On the other end, the tumult of a storm mixed with static.
“Hello? Who is this?”
Usually, Thaddeus would’ve hung up by now. But today, he uncharacteristically waited for a reply.
“Thaddeus, it’s me.”
Evadne’s frail, soft voice came through in fits and starts, torn to shreds by the howling wind. Like a dagger, it pierced straight through the man’s heart.
“Evadne?!”
Thaddeus’s eyes sparkled with a mix of surprise and joy as he shot to his feet, his breathing laced with an intense tremor. It was almost unbelievable to him that he was receiving a call from her.
“Thaddeus. I want to see you. I’m so tired,” Evadne’s fading voice was nearly imperceptible.
“Evadne, where are you?! I’ll come to you right away!” Thaddeus’s eyes reddened, a nameless agony churning within.
“I don’t know where I am.”
The woman on the other end couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, “I’ve walked so far. I can’t go on. My head’s spinning. I just want to sleep.”
“Evadne! Don’t sleep, please, stay awake!”
Thaddeus’s heart clenched, spasming wildly, “Don’t hang up. I’m tracing your call right now! Stay with me!”
Hamilton, overhearing, tensed with concern.
“Granddad Hamilton, I’m sorry.”
“Thaddeus, you don’t need to explain.”
With an understanding wave of his hand, Granddad urged, “Go now! Nothing is more important than finding llana!”
Gripping his phone, Thaddeus dashed out of the hospital room.
“You’ve got to find llana! Keep her safe!” Hamilton cried after him, tears in his eyes.
Thaddeus nodded heavily, his steps heavy. He got into his car, taking Gordon with him as they sped off into the stormy night towards Skyrim.
He quickly gathered his men; a convoy of sleek black sedans raced behind Thaddeus’s lead, struggling to keep up with his breakneck speed.
