Chapter 1020

Evadne's brows furrowed as she caught a whiff of a scent that unsettled her for reasons she couldn't quite place. It was faint yet familiar, slipping away before she could pin down where she'd encountered it before.

"Ms. Evadne, you seem to have something on your mind," Chad Abernathy drawled, turning his chiseled face towards her, his voice curling softly into her

"Mr. Chad, you've been living in the States for quite some time. In your quest for health, you've had extensive dealings with pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions, haven't you?" she asked, her voice steady.

Chad nodded, "Yes, I've had some dealings. When your father had his stroke, Thaddeus flew out to the States to consult me about medication."
