His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 270

No sooner had Evadne stepped into the hospital room than Jason received a call from Bennett.

"Mr. Bennett."

"Jason! As Evadne's assistant, how could you not report her whereabouts to us immediately?"

Bennett began interrogating, "Why are you and Evadne at Elmsworth Second Hospital now? Is she there to see Thaddeus?"

Cassius’s calm voice followed, "Bennett, cool down."

Actually, Bennett was usually mild-mannered, but anytime Evadne was involved, he would instantly lose his cool.

Jason was taken aback, blinking in confusion, "Mr. Bennett, how did you know?"

Evadne's visit to Thaddeus was supposed to be top secret!

"Satellite tracking."

Cassius sighed helplessly, "Bennett is practically using all the tactics for hunting down fugitives, and still can't keep track of one person?"

Jason was silent.

"Calm down, Bennett. You know Evadne well enough, no amount of scolding or shouting will make her come back obediently."

Cassius seemed to have accepted the situation, saying nonchalantly, "We're all adults here, let her do as she pleases."

"I'll immediately dispatch a security team to surround the hospital, hands-on at the door of the ward. Jason, it's going to be a long night for you. If that beast Thaddeus does anything evil to Evadne, you tell me immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Bennett!" Jason could feel the pressure from the young colonel, standing at attention.

Bennett was furious, his voice full of chilling intimidation, "If Thaddeus dares to lay a finger on my baby sister, he won't be able to leave that hospital in this lifetime!"

Evadne agreed to stay with him, Thaddeus happily took his medicine and applied his ointment.

The hospital's dinner was bland and unappealing.

But with Evadne by his side, Thaddeus was enjoying every bite, feeling like the simple meal was the best thing he'd eaten in years.

Seeing Thaddeus wolfing down his food as if he hadn't eaten in days, Evadne decided to order something for herself as a late-night snack.

She managed to finish the unappetizing meal, sticking to her principle of not wasting food.

"You should eat more nourishing foods, like clam chowder or some beef and vegetable stew," she suggested casually.

"Can you make it for me?" Thaddeus asked, looking at her hopefully.

"I've cooked for you plenty of times before, but you never seemed to care."

Evadne scoffed, pushing her meal tray aside and picking up her pajamas and toiletries to head to the bathroom, "Alva is a pretty good cook, you can ask her to make it for you."

The bathroom door slammed shut.

Thaddeus swallowed hard, tasting the bitterness of regret.

It turned out that starting from scratch and trying to reclaim everything he'd lost was much harder than he'd thought.

Evadne emerged from the bathroom wearing a peach-colored silk nightgown. Her skin was soft and smooth, looking fresh and radiant even without makeup. Her features seemed more innocent and pure without the sophisticated makeup she usually wore.

She looked more like an eighteen-year-old than a twenty-four-year-old.

Thaddeus found his heartbeat quickening, his gaze fixated on her.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a bare face before?" Evadne spritzed some moisturizing spray on her face, finding the room quite dry.
