His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 696

The hospital corridor was quiet, with the lights in the operating room aglow for ten long hours and still on.

Thaddeus, with his striking figure, sat motionless on a bench, his expression calm. Yet, the intensity in his eyes and the tension in his clenched fists on his knees betrayed his inner nervousness.

More nervous than him were the siblings from the West family. Elva and Allen.

Allen had no idea of the hardships his sister had endured at the Chambers Group, nor could they believe that their it was Ma Ashbourne, not the Chambers Group they had always relied on, who ultimately Intervened to save their father.

After another half–hour, the operating room lights went out..

The West siblings grasped each other’s hands tightly, while Thaddeus also rose to his feet.

The door swung open, and there was Evadne, draped in green surgical garb, walking out of the operating room with the weariness of the marathon surgery.

Her face was hidden behind a large mask, revealing only her clear, gentle eyes.

Suddenly, Thaddeus‘ heart raced!

He didn’t notice it typically; but with Evadne wearing a mask, she looked so much like Paloma, who had fought alongside him on the battlefield and saved him amidst bullets and gunfire!

But how could that be possible?

Evadne was the darling of the Ashbourne family; how could she have been on the front lines in Zenithia? And to encounter him by such a coincidence?

Moreover, she had never been to Zenithia according to her history, they were in love, and he had told her everything, honestly. Why would she never mention such a profound experience?

But if there were one in ten thousand chances.

Could Evadne possibly be Paloma, whom he had been searching for so painstakingly?

Thaddeus‘ hands trembled as he clenched his fists, the air breathed turning into invisible blades stirring inside his organs.

He dared not make such a supposition, feeling a strong bitterness stuck in his throat.

Even a slight thought threatened to tear his soul apart and shatter it completely.

“Ms. Evadne, my father?”

Elva’s voice broke the silence, full of anxiety, her pale lips quivering with fear of bad news.
