His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1009

Evadne had no idea that the night she fought tooth and nail with Avery in bed was already three days ago.

After sleeping for three days and nights, she finally awoke, weak and disoriented, on her hospital bed.

"Evadne's awake. Evadne's awake!"

Debby Ashbourne, who hadn't changed clothes or slept in three days, cried out with relief. The family, who had been waiting anxiously outside, rushed in, surrounding their youngest sibling with worried faces.

Evadne's dull, tired eyes struggled to focus as her lips, dry as an autumn leaf, parted to recognize those familiar faces.

"Thank goodness... she remembers us!" Debby exclaimed, gripping her sister's cold hand tightly, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.

Even though Darcy had hired the best medical experts to examine Evadne thoroughly, the doctors had warned them that the prolonged coma might have caused irreversible brain damage.

But now, with her finally awake, the tension that had gripped everyone eased up a little.

"Evadne, I'm so sorry."

Elvis stepped forward, dropping to one knee beside her bed, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at his sister. "I couldn't protect you from that monster Avery. I should've done better. I should've been there."

With a choked voice, he took her small hand and pressed it against his cheek. "Go on, hit me, hit me as hard as you can! I deserve it!"

"Elvis, it's not your fault. I don't blame anyone," Evadne whispered, her long lashes fluttering as she tried to move her fingers but lacked the strength. "How did I get back?"

The family exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from uncertainty to relief and back again.

"Did they catch Avery?"

"They did," Cassius replied, his voice thick with emotion. "He's locked up in Helgen's jail and will be transferred to Elmsworth tonight."

"That's good." Evadne sighed, closing her eyes briefly. A wave of mixed emotions washed over her.

The time she spent on Redwood Island with Avery was a dark, harrowing chapter replaying in her mind. No matter what happened, Avery had succeeded in leaving an indelible mark on her life—a shadow that would haunt her forever.

"And Thaddeus, where is Thaddeus?"

Evadne's eyes darted around the room, searching for the steadfast presence that always made her feel secure. Panic set in when she couldn't find him. "Did something happen to Thaddeus while he was trying to save me?!"
