Chapter 1025

Evadne's eyes shimmered with tears, her whole body jolting in shock.

She looked down, staring blankly at her empty hands.

Once, every precious moment had started with Thaddeus reaching out to hold her. When they kissed, cuddled, or intertwined their fingers, he'd whisper promises in her ear-promises that no matter what happened, he'd never let go.

But now, his hand slipped coldly from hers, leaving nothing behind.

In that split second, pain sliced through Evadne, sharp as if her very bones were being torn from her flesh.

Gordon, standing nearby, looked utterly stunned-his face drained white.

No one knew better than him just how much Thaddeus had loved Evadne before the accident. They'd been inseparable. But now, after waking from his coma, Thaddeus hadn't lost his memory, yet it was as if he'd become a different person. He was distant with everyone: Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Frederic, and worst of all, with the woman he once loved so fiercely.

"Grandpa, Dad."

Thaddeus finally broke the silence, shifting his gaze from Evadne's devastated eyes. His voice was low and flat. "I'm tired. I need to rest. Can you leave me alone for a while?"

Frederic froze, caught off guard.

His youngest had always been reserved—not like his older brother, who was charming and endlessly diplomatic. Thaddeus had always kept his feelings close, never letting his emotions show.

But since he'd woken up, it was like something inside him had frozen solid.

Frederic could only nod, trying to keep his voice steady. "Of course, son. You rest up, and we'll come back to see you when you wake."

Thaddeus didn't answer. He simply lay down, turning his back to everyone. Shutting them all out.
