His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1153

Alexia stared down the empty corridor, a chill crawling up her neck. She had heard someone call her “Acacia,” a name she had discarded, a past she had killed. For so long, she had believed she was completely severed from who she used to be, but hearing that name, the one that had defined her for over twenty years, she had reacted instinctively.

“Ms. Alexia!” A man who looked like the hospital director approached with two nurses, smiling obsequiously. “The next batch of medication is ready. Shall we administer it to the test subjects today?”

“How many times do I have to tell you? They’re patients, not test subjects,” Alexia snapped, glaring at him. “You make us sound so cruel.”

“Haha, you’re right, of course!”

“By the way,” Alexia asked, “did you see anyone suspicious on your way here?”

The three of them exchanged confused glances. “Suspicious? No. Security here is pretty tight. It’s unlikely anyone could have snuck in.”

Alexia sneered. “This is Elmsworth, not Country M. We can’t be too careful.”

Elsewhere in the hospital, Hans had also arrived on assignment. As he walked down a corridor, two orderlies passed him, pushing a gurney. Hans paid them no mind until he heard a weak voice from the gurney call out to him.

“Brother… help me… please…”

He glanced down dispassionately. The girl on the gurney was pale as death, her body convulsing. Her thin arms, exposed from under the white sheet, were covered in a grotesque pattern of blue and purple needle marks. His pupils contracted, and he stopped in his tracks. The girl’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him in agony.

Hans had seen more than his share of death, but the look in this girl’s eyes struck a blow to his cold, numb soul.

Finally, the girl, her face a mask of despair, was wheeled away.

Hans grabbed one of the orderlies. “She’s still alive,” he stated, his voice low.

“Not for long. Ms. Alexia told us to dispose of her.”

Hans’s brow furrowed, his voice hoarse. “Was it the illness?”
