Chapter 800

The imposing frame of Thaddeus froze in an instant, as if gripped by an invisible force that shackled his spirit.

"What did you say? Chad's back?!" Frederic's eyes sparkled with joy, his face brimming with excitement, "Where is he now?!"

"He's down in the hospital's underground parking lot. I ran into him as I was coming back from running some errands."

"Why didn't he let us know he was coming back!" Frederic chided with a beaming smile.

"I exchanged a few words with him. He was worried that if he told you in advance, you'd go all out preparing, and he didn't want to trouble you, so he kept it a secret."

"That boy, always so considerate!"

Without wasting a moment, Frederic turned to Thaddeus, "Thaddeus, go and tell your grandfather. I'll go down to meet Chad!"

As Thaddeus watched their departing figures, his fingers curled inward slightly.

By the time the Abernathy family members arrived at the parking lot, Chad was already sitting serenely in a wheelchair, a gentle smile on his face.

"Chad!" Frederic called out joyfully, hurrying to his eldest son's side.

Not far behind him, Thaddeus and Evadne supported Hamilton, who followed at a measured pace.

"Grandpa Hamilton, Dad, Thaddeus, I didn't mean to cause such a fuss."

Chad's lips curled into a smile, as calming as a breeze over a still lake, his tender gaze finally resting on Evadne's composed face, "And Ms. Ashbourne, coming specially to greet me, I'm truly overwhelmed."

"It's nothing, as Thaddeus' brother, you're like a brother to me, too. It's only right to show you the proper hospitality."
