His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 818

Elvis stood, his gaze deep and unwavering as he stared toward the thicket. The figure in the woods seemed to sense his scrutiny and deftly slipped behind a tree trunk.

Seated in her wheelchair, Marilla gazed at a photograph of Lily, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. She wept without a sound, her gaunt face streaked with tears, but void of sobs.

Evadne, fearing the grief might be too much for her fragile health, moved behind her and gently placed her hands on Marilla's shoulders, offering silent comfort.

Marilla's swollen eyes trembled as she slowly pulled a brand-new teddy bear from the blanket wrapped around her. Evadne was taken aback.

The bear was identical to the one she had given Marilla.

"These teddy bears are sold out back home. I got this one abroad, following Ms. Marilla's instructions," Murray's voice was hoarse with shared sorrow.

Marilla attempted to rise from her wheelchair, but perhaps due to lying in bed for too long, her legs wouldn't muster the strength.

Aaron instantly read her intent and instinctively moved forward, but it was Jareth who lifted Marilla gently to the ground, his hand supporting her lower back, a sturdy pillar for her to lean on.

With a sniffle, Marilla placed the teddy bear before the gravestone.

"Lily, let this clumsy bear be me, let it keep you company. So you won't be lonely as you rest here."

After the funeral, the mourners slowly departed from the cemetery.

"Chasel!"

Evadne caught up with Cassius and Chasel, whispering, "Could I ask a favor?"

"We're family, no trouble at all. Just say it," Chasel replied warmly, his fingers interlocked with Cassius' in a subtle gesture. Cassius looked ahead, indulging Chasel's childlike fiddling with his hand.

"Once we're back, could you test the medication sent by Mr. Chad? If it's not from someone we trust, I can't rest easy."

"Leave it to me," Chasel patted his chest confidently.

"Evadne, have you seen Elvis?" Arnold approached, holding Camille's hand. "He was here a moment ago, then vanished in the blink of an eye."
