Chapter 264

Thaddeus suddenly collapsed in a pool of his own blood right before their eyes, sending a shock of terror through the three men.

Thankfully, they were right outside the hospital. Jareth and Gordon quickly scrambled to assist the doctors and nurses in getting him into the emergency room.

Jason stood still at the other end of the hallway, watching in disbelief as Thaddeus, his lips stained with blood and his face as pale as a sheet, was rushed through the crucial moment. What the hell had just happened?

Was this another one of his dramatic ploys?

But he had come back from the Misty Mountain with Miss Evadne unscathed. How could this strong, imposing man Just collapse?

“Mr. Jareth, will Thaddeus?” Gordon muttered, his fists clenched and his eyes welling up with tears.

“No.”

Jareth, his eyes bloodshot and filled with fear, stared at the light that had turned on in the emergency room. “Thaddeus will be fine. He’s the toughest, most badass, bravest man I’ve ever met. He won’t let something like this take him down.”

At that moment, one of Cassius’s bodyguards approached Jason and bowed.

“Mr. Jason, President Ashbourne has sent me to escort you upstairs.”

“Okay.”

Jason was feeling rather distressed. He was about to leave when he suddenly halted and turned to the bodyguard, speaking in a low voice. “Mr. Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group is in the emergency room. Tell President Ashbourne to get two of the top doctors here to treat him.”

After sleeping until late afternoon the next day, Evadne slowly opened her eyes, looking as if she had just woken up from a long sleep.. “Ugh, where am I?”

She felt weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained from her body.

“Evadne! You’re awake! It’s me, Bennett!” Bennett cried out, rushing to her side and hugging her tightly.

He had stayed up all night holding onto her hand, his eyes red and swollen from crying.
