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.

In an instant, Thaddeus' dark eyes widened, and he sucked in a sharp breath!

Elvis's muscular torso was covered in horrifying wounds, some crusted over with dried blood, others still oozing fresh crimson.

But what was even more terrifying was the palm-sized burn on his back!

His once honey-colored skin was scorched a sickly red, with large blisters that had swollen and burst, mingling blood with clear fluid.

"How did this happen?!" Thaddeus' heart clenched tight suddenly, and he hurried to support Elvis to sit down.
