Chapter 142

In the hospital room, Una was sitting by the bed, comforting Acacia.

“Frederic pulled a lot of strings and spent a ton of cash to get Jim to help Elspeth dodge the prosecutors. It’s pretty clear that he cares a lot about Elspeth. With her help, your marriage to Thaddeus is basically a done deal! Plus, he’s been visiting you every chance he gets these past few days. He’s been super nice when he talks to you, your relationship has clearly improved!”

Una was all smiles, feeling pretty confident that she was going to be Thaddeus’s mother–in–law, “You know Thaddeus better than I do. If he was really over you, why would he even bother visiting you in the hospital?”

“Even though what you’re saying makes sense, I still can’t help but feel uneasy because of the recent events.”

As Acacia remembered the cold look in Thaddeus’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear down to her spine, “Even though he’s been with me these past few days, taking really good care of me, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s attitude towards me has changed.”

“Ainight, stop scaring yourself.”

Just then, the door to the room opened and Thaddeus walked in.

Acadia quickly put on a weak front, her eyes welled up with tears as she called out, “Thad.”

As Thaddeus emotionlessly walked towards her and she reached out her hand, thinking she could touch him, but he suddenly stopped.

With her hand awkwardly hanging in the air and a blush on her pale cheeks, Acacia was embarra**ed.

“I have to go back to the office to handle some things. I’ll come see you tonight,” Thaddeus’s tone was still gentle, his eyes deep, hiding any indication of what he was thinking.

“Thad, I’m sorry.”

Tears streamed down Acacia’s face as she looked at him weakly and wanted to show him that she was truly ashamed of her doing, “I’ve caused you so much trouble, it’s all my

fault”

“Don’t think too much, just rest.”

With that. Thaddeus turned around and left the room.

Acacia clutched the corner of the blanket tightly, there were so many things she wanted to share with him. But Thaddeus at that time was not the same person who used to dote on her and cater to her every whim.
