His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 416

Everyone, as if by some unspoken agreement, looked up at the sky, all struck dumb.

If this world had angels descending to earth, then this woman was one; if this world had goddesses descending to earth, then this woman was one!

And in the midst of their stunned disbelief, Evadne's eyes hardened, a bullet loaded, and she fired three shots at Ward!

Bang, bang, bang!

Didn't hit him? She'd try again!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Right now, Evadne was seeing red, taking aim at Ward and firing relentlessly!

The recoil from a Desert Eagle was a lot for a girl to handle, but Evadne held the gun steady, her movements professional, demonstrating her extensive training.

Unfortunately, her aim was off and not a single bullet found its target.

Ward was like a badger, darting through the jungle with an agility that was almost eerie!

"Elvis! Can you fly a little lower?! It's still too far!" Evadne shouted, her brow furrowed in frustration, to Elvis who was piloting the plane.

"I'm already flying as low as I can! Any lower and we'll be landing in the dirt!"

Elvis was pushing the plane to its limits, the continuous sound of gunfire making him break out into a cold sweat, his heart pounding like it was about to leap out of his chest, "Evadne! Are you serious? Who told you to show yourself? Get back here!"

"No! I want them to know what happens when they mess with my man!" Evadne's eyes were glowing crimson with rage as she fired another shot, hitting one of the assassins.

Thaddeus' eyes were narrowed, his gaze following her every move, his entire body on high alert, his blood rushing in his veins.

He was both captivated by her courage and worried for her safety. He hated that he was too far to protect her, his fingers tingling with anxiety, his heart tightening in fear!

"Damn! I shouldn't have listened to you and brought you here! This is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life!" Elvis was filled with regret, his insides churning, on the verge of tears.

With no other choice, he changed direction, preparing to forcibly take his sister away. To him, nothing was more important than his sister's safety!

However, Evadne wasn't about to give him that chance. Seeing an opportunity, she let go of the ladder and leaped!

"Evadne!" Elvis' heart skipped a beat, his face turning deathly pale!

The howling wind pulled her in, rushing past her ears. In the moment she jumped, her mind went blank. All she wanted was to be by Thaddeus' side, fighting alongside him, facing life and death together.

Just like when Thaddeus had fought off the terrorists to protect her in the battlefield of Zenithia, carving a path for her with his bloodied blade.

Now, she wanted to protect him with the same selflessness, never leaving his side!

In that moment, Evadne's breath hitched in her chest, her eyes blurry, as if she had just woken from a dream.

Actually, Thaddeus never owed her anything.

Thirteen years ago, he had saved her young life. On the battlefield of Zenithia, he had helped her escape from danger.

Although she had also tried her best to bring him back to camp, without him, she wouldn't have the slightest chance of survival.

Her three years’ failed marriage suddenly seemed so insignificant in the face of life and death.

What's more important than life? Than survival? Without Thaddeus, there would be no Evadne!

As her thoughts swirled, her body, falling like a shooting star, was about to hit the ground.

"Evadne!" Thaddeus' heart pounded in fear!

At this moment, he forgot about the excruciating pain from his wounds, and without a second thought, he ran forward, opening his arms and catching the woman he loved.

The gunshot wound on his left shoulder was torn open again as he caught Evadne, his black shirt soaked with blood, but he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt relieved and a small smile crept onto his face.

He remembered when he was a kid, whenever he got hurt or had to get a shot at the hospital, his mom would give him a piece of candy, and eating the candy made the pain go away.

Right now, Evadne was his candy. Holding her, he could endure anything.

Evadne, held in the man's arms, smelled the strong scent of blood on him, heard his heavy strained breathing, and her heart ached. Uncontrollably, hot tears spilled onto his heaving chest.

"Liar! Fool! Why did you come alone?! You could have died!" She sobbed, pounding him on the chest, her body trembling.

"I'm sorry, Evadne."

Thaddeus held her as if she was the most precious thing in the world, his hand gently stroking her neck, his smile filled with indulgence, "But I was afraid you'd follow me. I was afraid you'd get hurt."

"Aren't you afraid that I worry about you?" Evadne asked, gripping his shirt, her voice choked with tears.

Thaddeus was taken aback, a strong current of shock running through his heart, his eyes welling up with tears. He had never considered that before, because he knew he wasn't worthy.

But now was not the time for sentiments. In the next second, Thaddeus stood in front of Evadne, picked up a machine gun, and wiped out the assassins in front of him.

And Evadne was not to be outdone; standing back to back with him, she fired her gun and took out the assassins behind them!

In a daze, Thaddeus felt a jolt in his heart, a familiar name flashing through his mind - Paloma!

Back in Zenithia, he had fought alongside a girl in a white coat to break out of their encirclement.

They hadn't seen each other since, but Thaddeus never forgot her, considering her a friend for life.

He thought he would never have the chance to see Paloma again, but why did he feel that Evadne was so similar to Paloma, the woman who saved his life?

"Ward is getting away! Let's go after him!"

Seeing Ward running into the seemingly endless darkness of the jungle, Evadne shouted and ran after him.

"Evadne! Don't run off; it's dangerous!"

Just as Thaddeus was about to follow her, his vision blurred, his tall body swaying, almost collapsing!

“Evadne! Thaddeus!”

“Evadne! Elvis is here! Evadne!”

“Thad! I'm here!” At that time, Cassius, Elvis and Jareth finally arrived.

Cassius fired two shots, one shattering Ward's kneecap, the other hitting his arm, causing him to drop his crossbow.

Even so, Ward wasn't ready to give up yet; he started to crawl towards his weapon, intending to fight back.

Elvis was quick. He stepped on Ward's hand, twisting his heel.

“Ah!” His cries echoed in the soul-stirring darkness, the sound of bone cracking frightening.

Ward's hand, which had been used to conduct countless vile crime, completely useless.

The rest of Ward's accomplices were either dead, injured or captured. Ward himself was apprehended, and the Star Island hideout was taken over.

Not only that, dangerous weapons with high destructive power were found by the Fairhaven Group’s men. As a matter of fact, Jareth was thinking to take them all back to Elmsworth, but he didn’t have a large vessel at hand. Moreover, right now the most important thing was to send Thaddeus to the hospital as fast as possible.

There was no time to delay, or his condition would get more severe!

“Thaddeus, wake up, please wake up!”

Evadne clung to Thaddeus's hand as they boarded the helicopter. Her face was tear-streaked and her eyes bloodshot from crying; her grieved sobbing distressed her brothers extremely.

Until then she learned, Thaddeus had been shot in the left shoulder. At that time, he was already losing blood profusely, but he stood firm in front of the thugs, refusing to show any signs of weakness. Even when she jumped from the helicopter, he caught her in his arms, ready to shed his last drop of blood to protect her.

Why was she so stubborn, so willful? Thaddeus was one of a kind. Why couldn't she value him?

"Evadne."

Cassius and Elvis stood behind her, watching her cry inconsolably, their hearts aching with sympathy.

Jareth was also full of worry. Usually, he was the life of the party, but now he could not even crack a smile. His fists were tightly clenched, his heart pounding with fear.

After Thaddeus was loaded onto the helicopter, Jareth personally escorted him, leaving Star Island before the others to seek the best medical care in the capital of Country T.

Evadne covered her face with her hands, trying to suppress her sobs, but tears still slipped through her fingers.

"Evadne," Cassius walked over and hugged her. She buried her face in his chest and finally let herself cry, "Thaddeus will be okay. God will protect the kind and brave, those who live for love."

"Really?" Evadne's voice was choked with sobs, her words coming out in fragments.

"Yes."

Cassius closed his eyes and prayed silently for Thaddeus. He wished for Thaddeus to pull through this ordeal, for him to reconcile with Evadne, and for them to spend the rest of their lives together.

If he could, he would give up his own life to ensure their happiness and peace for the rest of their days.
