His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 661

That evening, Emeric checked into the Ashbourne Group’s hospital in Skyrim.

Evadne and Thaddeus had just brought Emeric in when Cassius and Chasel were already there, anxiously waiting.

Despite not having seen him for several days, Evadne could clearly tell that Chasel had lost a lot of weight, his complexion pallid as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

There was no time for pleasantries; as soon as the medical staff wheeled Emeric into the examination room, Chasel quickly followed.

Before stepping through the door, he turned back for a deep look at Cassius, lips slightly moving as he mouthed silently the words: “I’ve got this.”

With the door’s closure, everyone’s hearts sank heavily.

Cassius watched the door intently, feeling a stifling breath, his heart twisting with worry.

Not only was he concerned for his father’s health, but also for Chasel’s.

Chasel had mentioned earlier that morning that his back wound was still causing him pain. Cassius had wanted him to rest more, but upon hearing that the Ashbourne family was in trouble, Chasel sprang up as if revitalized, insisting on returning to Skyrim.

On the way back, Cassius gripped the steering wheel with one hand, while the other was playfully toyed with by Chasel, who pinched and rubbed it as if he couldn’t get enough.

“You’re barely recovered, and now you’re already taking on intense work. You’ll wear yourself out.”

“I’m a grown man. I’m not fragile as you think. Don’t worry.”

Chasel often reminded Cassius of his masculinity, as if fearing that Cassius was merely enchanted by his pretty face and might one day regret their intimacy or, worse, grow cold toward him like he had once before–a thought Chasel couldn’t bear.

“I know you’re a man,” Cassius said, his voice rough, eyes on the road. “I’ve never been more aware of what I’m doing than I was that night with you.”

Chasel gazed at Cassius‘ handsome profile, with unguarded desire.

In the next second, he leaned over to plant a kiss filled with longing on the man’s cheek.

Cassius‘ eyes swirled with emotion, as he held Chasel’s hand a bit tighter.

“From now on, I’m taking care of Dad’s health. Don’t even think of finding another doctor. You can only have me,” Chasel said with a hint of pride.

The word “Dad” rolled off his tongue bold and genuine.

Cassius gave no outward reaction, but his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, warmth flowing straight to his heart.

“After last time’s unpleasantness, how did you manage to bring Chasel over from the Bright family?” Evadne’s curiosity was insatiable.

Cassius felt a pang of guilt flood his chest.

He had indeed gone to the Bright family’s doorstep that night, waiting for what felt like an eternity.

But ultimately, he left.

Unbeknownst to him, Chasel had been punished according to their family discipline, confined to his room, and he was looking out from his window when Cassius turned away.

When Dr. Winston examined Chasel, he mentioned that his injuries weren’t just bruises from sticks but also included several scrapes and cuts, as if he had fought his way out of a battlefield.
