Chapter 547

Thaddeus’s heart sank as he quickly turned to Evadne. “Evadne, I’ll handle this.”

After all, the rumors swirling about her were like a relentless tide, and the denigration showed no signs of abating. And here they were in a hospital, a sensitive place where a confrontation with the relatives of a witness could do her harm.

He could deal with this, shoulder the burden.

But he didn’t want his woman to face such ugliness. It would hurt him too much to see her in pain.

“Thad, i get it,” Evadne said, capturing his hand in hers and offering comfort with her calm demeanor. “But they want to see me, and if I hadn’t insisted on meeting with Beverly, we wouldn’t be in this mess. So I need to step up, apologize, and show sincerity. You know me, the word ‘retreat‘ isn’t in my vocabulary.”

“Coincidentally, it’s not in mine either.”

His gaze was deep and affectionate as he clasped her hand tightly. “So, I’m going with you.”

Although Beverly was tucked away in a private room with a high degree of security,

Jason still feared the relatives might cause a scene in the hospital, damaging the lady’s reputation, so he had them brought over posthaste.

Side by side, Evadne and Thaddeus stood in the corridor.

Beverly’s mother and the parents of another victim approached swiftly, and while Evadne kept her composure, her heart was in turmoil.

The trio halted before them.

Thaddeus’s eyes were a cold and alert, Jason too kept a vigilant watch, ready to intervene should they lash out at the lady.

Beverly’s mother, with cheeks stained by tears and eyes red with the ferocity of a lioness deprived of sleep, hadn’t spoken yet, but her face was a canvas of blame and anger directed at Evadne!
