His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1083

They were almost at the door when, suddenly, it swung open-

Chad, seated in his wheelchair, rolled slowly out of the room.

Thaddeus froze mid-step. His breath caught in his chest, rising and falling just enough to betray his tension.

The hallway between them wasn't long-a stretch of empty, sterile space-but the silence that settled as the two brothers faced each other was heavy with everything left unsaid.

Thaddeus stood bathed in the harsh white glare of the hospital lights, every angle of his face chiseled and still, as if he were some timeless statue. Chad lingered in the shadows beyond, silent, nearly blending into the gloom. If not for the sickly pallor of his handsome features, you might not even notice he was there at all.

He looked like a serpent. Or the shadow of something much darker.

For a long moment, neither moved. Finally, Thaddeus broke first, forcing himself forward with measured, deliberate strides.

A faint, unspoken longing twisted in his chest-the urge to see Evadne.

He was almost at the door when Chad's lips curled into a smile. Chad extended his right arm, barring Thaddeus's way.

"Thaddeus, what brings you here so late?" The words were gentle, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Thaddeus swallowed hard, his voice rough. "Ms. Evadne was in an accident today. Is she alright?"

"She'll be fine. Her old injury flared up-doctor says she needs rest."
