His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1019

The Abernathy father and son stood there, utterly taken aback. Evadne, though quieter in her surprise, was no less affected. Her dark eyes, however, held a hint more of scrutiny and suspicion.

"Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Frederic, here's the situation," Alexia spoke from behind Chad, her long lashes casting shadows over her worried brow. "Eighteen years ago, after the kidnapping, the young master suffered organ failure and nerve paralysis. He endured many hardships in Country M, trying various treatments just to stabilize his condition. Every day, he relies on numerous medications to live a normal life."

Frederic felt a pang of sorrow at her words and murmured, "My child, you've been through so much."

Chad simply responded with a light, nonchalant smile and shook his head.

Alexia's eyes softened with sympathy. "Back then, the nerve damage left him unable to control his legs like a normal person. His damaged organs meant his physical abilities were greatly diminished. That's why he's relied on a wheelchair for so many years..."

Evadne's gaze was steady on Chad's straight, strong legs, her emotions hard to read.

Frederic hurried forward, concern etched on his face. "Chad, how are you feeling now?"

"Dad, I'm much better. You saw me standing just now, didn't you?" Chad's lips curved slightly. "I just can't run or jump like most people. Daily life isn't a problem."

"That's wonderful news!" Frederic was overjoyed. After all, his younger son was still unconscious, but his eldest had returned to the Abernathy family at such a crucial time, and his health seemed much improved.
