His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 1095

"Grandpa."

Thaddeus was breathing heavily, his midnight-dark eyes shadowed with worry.

But the drugs had damaged his amygdala, leaving his strongest emotions trapped inside, beating against the walls with nowhere to escape. On the surface, his striking features looked impassive, almost as if he had no heart at all.

Hamilton and Evadne exchanged a knowing glance. The old man quickly wiped away his tears and forced a gentle smile.

"Thaddeus, you're here... Thanks to Ilana's help, I'm alright. There's no need to worry about me!"

Evadne remembered her grandfather's earlier words, her long lashes fluttering as she drifted into thought.

She didn't snap back to reality until a cold, masculine presence swept past her. Looking up in confusion, she found herself staring straight into Thaddeus's intense gaze.

His lips pressed into a thin line as he glanced down at her.

Evadne's heart seemed to freeze mid-beat. Color crept into her pale cheeks as she quickly looked away, flustered and embarrassed.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

But no matter how many times she tried to convince herself otherwise, she still loved him—again and again. Whether his eyes shone with the brilliance of stars or dulled with shadows, she always found herself falling under his spell...

"You just going to stand there like an idiot? Aren't you going to thank llana?" Hamilton scolded, pretending to be angry. "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have a grandfather anymore!"

Thaddeus had just opened his mouth when Evadne stood up briskly, not sparing him a glance. She gave her grandfather a soft, sweet smile.

"I'm glad you're alright, Grandpa. That's all I needed to know. I have work to get back to, so I'll visit again soon."
