Chapter 656

Dylan strode over and swung the front door open, only to be met with a startling surprise.

“Mr. Abernathy?!”

“Mr. Dylan.”

There on the doorstep, looking weary from the road yet carrying an air of urgency, stood Thaddeus, his breath uneven from haste, “Are Mr. Ashbourne and Evadne inside? I’ve brought the medicine!”

At the sound of his voice, Evadne leapt to her feet and rushed to greet him, her heart swelling with uncontainable longing.

“Thaddeus!”

She hurled herself into his open arms, the dam of her pent–up emotions threatening to break as tears welled up in her eyes.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Thaddeus wrapped his sturdy, trembling arms around her, his own eyes reddening slightly, “Sorry for making you wait, Evadne. But it wasn’t for nothing. The medicine is here.”

He fumbled with one hand into the depths of his coat, producing a slender box of medicine. “There are six doses in here, even more than last time. It should last Mr. Ashbourne a while, just in case.”

Taking the medicine box from him, Evadne was choked with gratitude, her throat tightening with emotion.

She didn’t need him to say it; she knew all too well the lengths he must have gone to get this medicine. The cost in money was one thing, but the thought that Thad might have had to swallow his pride–to get it was unbearable.
