His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1231

Cassius searched the entire hotel, but the man he longed for was nowhere to be found.

"Cassius!" Evadne finally caught up to him, grabbing his rigid arm. "Don't panic. I'll help you look for him."

"He's not here… he's nowhere!" Cassius's strong shoulders slumped. Sweat or tears, he couldn't tell which, dripped onto the floor, creating dark pools of sorrow. "Evadne… I have a feeling. If I don't find him this time… I'll lose him forever."

The finality of it was suffocating.

"No, you won't! If Chasel had truly given up on you, he wouldn't have shown up today! The fact that he came proves he still has you in his heart," Evadne said, trying her best to comfort him.

Cassius shook his head, his eyes burning with pain. "He came back for Thaddeus. He's loyal to his friends… but as for me… I don't have a place in his heart anymore."

"Yes, you do! You do! If he was really over you, he would have faced you calmly. Why would he run away like this? It means he's avoiding you because he—"

"Because seeing me only brings him pain and anger, right?" Cassius let out a bitter laugh, his heart feeling as if it were being torn to shreds.

Just then, a grim-faced Gordon walked towards them.

"Ms. Ashbourne, Mr. Ashbourne." He paused, then looked at Cassius, his voice heavy. "Mr. Ashbourne, you can stop looking. Dr. Bright has already left the hotel."

"Where did he go?" Cassius demanded, his voice raw, his eyes bloodshot.

"He… didn't say. But he asked me to give you a message." Gordon braced himself and said quietly, "Dr. Bright said you should stop looking for him. He… doesn't want to see you right now."

He had softened the blow, omitting Chasel's much harsher final words. He just couldn't bring himself to say them.

The words hit Cassius like a physical blow, his soul seeming to fragment and scatter into the wind.
