His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 786

The chill of the morgue was deep, which was a constant reminder that the realm of the living and this somber abode were worlds apart, and they were separated by an irreversible divide.

Evadne and Thaddeus stood in the doorway’s shadow, leaving Jareth the solemn space to bid his final farewell to Lily.

Beneath the stark white shroud, Lily’s pallid, yet strikingly beautiful face was at peace; her eyes were closed gently, and her lips were curved in a subtle and serene smile as if she were lost in an eternal dream that she would never awaken from.

Jareth hung his head low; the cold in the room assaulted him like an unseen tide, threatening to crush his spine and choke his throat filled with sorrow.

There was a catch in his voice as he traced her beautifully arched lips with trembling fingers.

He couldn’t understand why she had left this world with a smile.

Evadne couldn’t bear it any longer, she covered her face with her hands and leaned into Thaddeus‘ embrace, weeping without a sound.

Thaddeus held her trembling shoulders and wrapped his arms around her, with his chin resting on her head; his lips were dry and parted, but no sound emerged.

Footsteps approached from behind.

Aaron walked in, with a somber expression on his face, and he was holding a small box in his hands.

The couple understood and stepped aside to let him through.

“Jareth, my deepest condolences.”

Aaron stood behind the stoic figure of the man and spoke softly, “This is Lily’s personal effects that I’ve collected. Take them with you when you leave.”
