His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1296

"What did you say...? Thaddeus and Aaron... Why didn't you wake me up earlier so I could know?!"

Evadne was shocked and frantic, her pale face slick with sweat. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, determined to leave, but Cassius firmly pinned her down.

"Evadne, stop this nonsense! You're so weak you can't even stand properly. What could you possibly do if you went? Do you want to distract Thaddeus so he can't focus on saving Elsie?!"

"Am I just a burden now? Am I nothing but a burden to Thaddeus?! We're a team! I have to go help him! If something happens to him... what am I supposed to do?!"

Evadne's tears flowed freely, her words broken by uncontrollable sobs. "Dad already forgot who I am... I can't... I can't lose Thaddeus too... Even if things can never be the way they were, even if he doesn't love me anymore, I just want to be near him... I just want to be with him... Cassius, I genuinely can't live without him..."

She didn't care if he pushed her away.

She didn't care if he forgot her.

If she could just see him every day, that would be enough.

Right now, Evadne wasn't just blinded by love; she was desperately grasping at her only lifeline, trying to pull herself back from the brink of total collapse. And the only person who could save her was Thaddeus.

"Evadne, pull yourself together!"

Cassius, who had never raised his voice at his little sister in his life, finally snapped. "Your entire existence isn't just Thaddeus! You have us! You have a massive family who loves you! Dad might have forgotten us, but maybe it's just temporary. And even if he never remembers, so what? He's alive! When he was in a coma, you said you wouldn't care about anything else as long as he just woke up. Now that he's alive, why are you asking for more? You can't have it all. Don't be so greedy!"

Evadne froze, the color draining completely from her face, though her tears continued to fall silently.

"Besides, are you really sure you want to go find him right now?"

Cassius's heart ached. He let out a heavy sigh. "I wasn't going to tell you this, but since we're here... Thaddeus called me this morning. He told me to stop you from going to him, no matter what it took. It's ironic. His brain was damaged by drugs, and his emotional processing is compromised, but without a doubt, he still understands you and cares about you more than anyone else. He just doesn't say it out loud or confess his love the way he used to."

Evadne squeezed her eyes shut and lowered her head. The memory of that bone-deep, tender kiss from the night before flashed through her mind. She could still feel the phantom warmth of his lips on hers.

So what if they had lost the love they used to share?

That didn't stop them from falling in love all over again, starting right now.

Cassius's gaze grew deep and serious. "Thaddeus told me he figured out exactly what your plan is. You intentionally pushed him away to get closer to Chad and earn his trust. Isn't that right?"

Evadne aggressively rubbed her swollen eyes and offered a small, hesitant nod.
