His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 448

“It’s me. Evadne, it’s me,” Thaddeus’s mind buzzed, his voice hoarse as if filled with gravel. He clung to Evadne’s trembling form as if she would disintegrate into ashes if he loosened his grip for a mere second, his heart breaking, “Evadne, tell me where it hurts? Tell me, please!”

“Wind!”

Once her thoughts cleared, Evadne immediately thought of the poor creature, struggling to break free from the man’s embrace, scrambling towards Wind, who lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

“Evadne! Come back!”

Thaddeus’s voice was a desperate cry, his chest tightening as he followed her.

The medics, Cassius, and Mr. Dylan had all arrived, but none could stop Evadne, whose eyes were red with determination.

Below, the crowd was stunned to see Thaddeus, normally so composed, rush onto the track and hold Evadne who was in a state of panic, “Good heavens, is that skittish man really the Mr. Abernathy I know? This is unbelievable!”

“I never thought I’d see the day Thaddeus would look so distraught. It seems Evadne is the only one who could knock him off his pedestal.”

“Ahh! I’m dying of envy! I wish Mr. Abernathy would hold me tight like that!”

“But seriously, if Thaddeus loves Evadne so much, why did they divorce in the first place?!”

“Yikes! Could it have been that Acacia and Elspeth conspired against Thaddeus, leading Evadne to misunderstand and that’s why they split? Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, are they getting back together?!”

The murmurs were like a boiling pot, but what they saw was clear. Thaddeus’s love for Evadne was deep, like the thawing waters of spring, flowing unreservedly to his one true love.

“Hey, you did this, didn’t you?” Glynnis whispered cynically to Edith.

Edith’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Evadne, who was being tenderly cared for by Thaddeus, her voice seething with venom, “What nonsense are you spouting?! It’s her own bad luck that got her in this mess. What’s it got to do with me?!”

“Do you think your little scheme may backfire?”

Glynnis couldn’t help but snicker, “Not only is Evadne intact, but now everyone has witnessed Thaddeus’s irreplaceable affection for her. Thanks to your ‘matchmaking,‘ they might be even more inseparable now.”

“You shut up!”

Edith’s gaze was icy as she glared at Glynnis, her cheeks flushed with fury, her resentment dripping, “If you mock me again, I’ll make sure you fall harder than Evadne! Don’t test me! We Fairhavens stop at nothing!”

Glynnis clenched her teeth in a standoff, yet her heart quivering with fear.

After all, her standing at home had greatly diminished, unloved and neglected. But Edith was different; she was Barry’s precious granddaughter. Provoking her could be a costly mistake.

“Evadne! Stop it. Let’s go to the hospital!”

Cassius’s voice was cracking with urgency, and he and Thaddeus, two grown men, seemed powerless against her will.

“I’m a surgeon myself! I know my own body better than any of you laymen!”

Evadne ignored her pain, kneeling beside Wind, who was struggling to breathe, tears streaming down her face as she tenderly touched his weakening body.

“Wind, why did you push yourself like this?! I told you to stop; why didn’t you listen?!”

Thaddeus stood stiffly beside her, watching as she fretted over her horse, his own heart aching in empathy. She was kind to the marrow, and he was deeply in love with her pure, clear soul.
