His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1325

Over the past few days, Evadne split her time between staying with Emeric and running the KS Group. With Hubery's return, Chasel's safe rescue, and Thaddeus's unwavering support, her mood had visibly improved. She was energized. She knew Ian was just a pawn. The true mastermind who nearly killed Suri, cost her eldest brother his eye, and stripped her father of his memories was Chad. The one thing Evadne hated most in this world was anyone touching her family. At first, she had only wanted to dismantle Chad's criminal empire and bring him to justice. But now, it was deeply personal. She wanted to tear him apart. For every person he had hurt, she was going to make him bleed. After a long day of meetings at the corporation, Evadne visited Emeric, checked on Suri, and finally went to Cassius's room. Cassius was sitting up in bed in his hospital gown, a bandage covering his left eye. He looked like an obedient child as Chasel fed him hot porridge. "Open up," Chasel murmured. A soft light danced in Cassius's eye as he took a bite. "It's delicious." Chasel's beautiful eyes curved into a smile. "Of course it is. I was up at five to buy a fresh fish at the market. I filleted it myself for this porridge. See? I even cut my..." He started to show off his bandaged finger but quickly pulled it back, a sudden lump forming in his throat. In the past, he would have complained about a tiny scrape, demanding comfort and attention from Cassius over the smallest inconvenience. But now, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Because of him, Cassius had permanently lost an eye. Cassius brushed it off, but Chasel knew the internal agony he must be going through. Cassius just didn't want to make him feel worse. But did that make Chasel feel any less guilty? The less Cassius said, the more it shattered Chasel's heart. His beloved was no longer physically whole. How could someone so flawless accept this? Chasel felt he had no right to complain about a scratch. "You cut yourself? Let me see." Cassius anxiously grabbed Chasel's cold hand, inspecting the cut. "A simple bandage isn't enough. If you cut it while preparing fish, there's a risk of infection. That could be serious." Chasel forced down his sorrow and curled his fingers inward. "It's fine. I'm a doctor. I know how to treat it." "No, I'm having a nurse look at this right now." Cassius was sick with worry. Even the slightest injury to Chasel made his chest tight. "Wow, look at Mr. Ashbourne fussing over you. Isn't that a bit dramatic?" Cassius and Chasel turned toward the door simultaneously. "Jareth?" they both said in surprise. They had been so completely absorbed in each other that they hadn't noticed Jareth, Marilla, and Evadne standing in the doorway, smiling at them.
