Chapter 811

Evadne's heart skipped a beat as she locked eyes with Thaddeus' deep gaze, feeling her heart thump heavily against her chest.

At this moment, Thaddeus' muscles were coiled tight beneath his crisp suit, visible even without him shedding a layer.

"Ahem, Thaddeus."

Chad coughed weakly, his face pale, breaking the silence as if to cover for Evadne, as though they were hiding something from him, "Don't overthink it. I just ran into Ms. Evadne outside the hospital. I wasn't feeling well, so she kindly

offered to wheel me up."

"Chad, overthink what?"

A faint smile tugged at Thaddeus' lips, not quite warm, but still a smile, "You're my big brother, Evadne is your sister-in-law; we're family. It's only natural for her to help."

With that, he strode over to Evadne, eyes softening as he took over the wheelchair from her, "I'll take it from here."

"Thanks, Thad." Chad's lips curled slightly, his eyes deepening in color.

Thaddeus bent down and whispered in his ear, his voice low, restraining his emotions, "You're my big brother; it's the least I can do."

Outside the hospital room, Frederic was anxiously discussing Marilla's condition with the attending physician.

"Dad!"

Chad called out frantically, seated in the wheelchair yet seemingly desperate to stand and walk over.

"Chad! You're not well; why did you come out so late?" Frederic's heart lurched upon seeing his son's pallor.

"I'm worried about Marilla, so I came to check on her. I ran into Thaddeus and Ms. Evadne downstairs, and we came up together."

Chad's expression was filled with concern, "Dad, how is Marilla doing?"

Evadne's face was also ghostly white with worry, while Thaddeus tightly gripped her cold hand.

"Jareth is in there with your sister. Thank God for Jareth, otherwise."
