His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1149

When Evadne changed into a set of medical scrubs, put on a thick mask, and pulled her hair into a neat ponytail, Jason was stunned.

Even though he couldn’t see her beautiful face, her sharp, capable aura was undeniably captivating. In the deepening twilight, her bright eyes shone like a galaxy, so mesmerizing that it felt like one could get lost in them.

“What are you staring at? Never seen me before?” Evadne asked, amused by Jason’s dazed expression. She could tell his admiration was purely platonic.

“No, it’s not that… I just think that even with only your eyes showing, you still look amazing, Ms. Evadne,” Jason said, scratching his head in embarrassment. He then asked curiously, “Is this how you looked when you were with Doctors Without Borders in Country L?”

Evadne adjusted her uniform. “More or less.”

A thought suddenly struck Jason. “I heard Mr. Thaddeus was also stationed in Country L for a special forces mission. It’s not a big country. Do you think you ever met him back then?”

Evadne’s hands stilled, and the little finger on her left hand, still numb from her injury, twitched faintly. “I don’t think so,” she said, her voice tinged with a hidden sorrow. “If we had, he would have recognized me, wouldn’t he?”

Jason’s heart ached for her. He felt there was a heavy secret she was carrying, and her words were laced with a deep sense of regret.

…

Before she left, Jason insisted Evadne also wear a surgical cap. Ms. Evadne’s radiance was hard to conceal, and the more covered she was, the safer she would be.

Fully disguised, Evadne tried to slip in through the back of the hospital. To her surprise, the dilapidated building, which looked deserted, had guards at both the front and back entrances. From their professional stance, she knew they weren’t police; they were Alexia’s men.

That only confirmed her suspicions: this place was hiding something dark.
