Chapter 847

"Evadne, didn't she know you were coming over?" Elvis lowered his voice, his breathing slightly uneven.

"Evadne's already fallen asleep."

Thaddeus eyed him closely, his brows furrowed with concern. "Elvis, you look terrible. Are you feeling okay? I can call my grandfather's personal doctor to check on you right now."

Elvis let him in and shut the door firmly behind them. He then took a deep breath and walked over to the couch.

In the dim light, he gritted his teeth and removed his tattered black shirt.
