His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1133

Cassius sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze soft as he looked at Evadne's pale face. "Is this your bleeding heart acting up again, Evadne? He's just an inmate who has nothing to do with you. Do you really need to get so involved?"

A faint, humorless smile touched her lips, her beautiful eyes curving slightly. "I do. What if he's actually innocent?"

Cassius fell silent, his eyes darkening. He was her brother, and he knew her well. He sensed there was a deeper meaning behind her actions.

…

After talking with Evadne for a while, Cassius and Jason noticed her energy was fading. They knew she was still incredibly weak and needed to rest, so they quietly left the hospital room.

Once they were in the hallway, Jason finally let his anguish show. "Our precious Ms. Evadne… why has she suffered one disaster after another since she met Thaddeus?" His voice cracked with emotion. "The frostbite on her hands… it's severe. I'm terrified it'll affect her mobility long-term. She’s one of the country's top surgeons, a master sculptor… if her hands are ruined…"

Cassius cut him off, his voice heavy and his eyes rimmed with red. He clenched his fists, the pain in his heart sharp and visceral. "They won't be. We'll find the best medicine for her. She'll heal completely, without a single scar."

"Sir, I'm going to say something that might be hard to hear," Jason said, rubbing his exhausted face. His voice was thick with unshed tears, and he looked like he was about to fall apart. "I know Thaddeus is a good man… and I know they love each other deeply. But if this is how their story is going to be, so cruel and relentless, then I'd rather Thaddeus disappear from Ms. Evadne's life completely. I'd rather they had never met at all!"

Just as the words left his lips, the sound of leather shoes echoed from behind them.

Cassius looked up sharply, and Jason spun around.
