His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 656

Dylan strode over and swung the front door open, only to be met with a startling surprise.

“Mr. Abernathy?!”

“Mr. Dylan.”

There on the doorstep, looking weary from the road yet carrying an air of urgency, stood Thaddeus, his breath uneven from haste, “Are Mr. Ashbourne and Evadne inside? I’ve brought the medicine!”

At the sound of his voice, Evadne leapt to her feet and rushed to greet him, her heart swelling with uncontainable longing.

“Thaddeus!”

She hurled herself into his open arms, the dam of her pent–up emotions threatening to break as tears welled up in her eyes.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Thaddeus wrapped his sturdy, trembling arms around her, his own eyes reddening slightly, “Sorry for making you wait, Evadne. But it wasn’t for nothing. The medicine is here.”

He fumbled with one hand into the depths of his coat, producing a slender box of medicine. “There are six doses in here, even more than last time. It should last Mr. Ashbourne a while, just in case.”

Taking the medicine box from him, Evadne was choked with gratitude, her throat tightening with emotion.

She didn’t need him to say it; she knew all too well the lengths he must have gone to get this medicine. The cost in money was one thing, but the thought that Thad might have had to swallow his pride–to get it was unbearable.

How could she feel at ease on using it?

“Thaddeus, thank you,” she clutched the box as feeling a lump in her throat.

“Don’t be silly, Evadne. There’s no need for thanks between us. I’d do anything for you.”

With a tender smile, Thaddeus took her hand, “Let’s get this medicine to Mr. Ashbourne, shall we?”

“Hold on a second!”

Suri approached with urgency, her brow creased with worry, “Thaddeus, I appreciate what you’re doing. Evadne, I think we shouldn’t give this to your father just yet.”

“Why not?” The couple asked in unison.

“Haven’t you noticed? Your father’s been increasingly drowsy and his spirit’s been low – not like before at all.”

Suri’s expression was grave, “We all know the risks of cerebral infarction, but as for how this state of illness develops in the end, I think we’re all aware. This medicine seems to mask the symptoms rather than treating them. And we can’t predict what side effects might follow. So I suggest we stop using it, and wait for a while to make further decision!”

whispered gravely into Evadne’s ear, “I think Suri has a point. Maybe we should hold off on the medicine.”
