The air was thick with tension as the Ashbourne family gathered, their expressions icy and resolute, ready for what was to come.
Evadne's gaze was sharp as a blade as she watched Avery approach, a surreal feeling washing over her. Who would have thought that the boy she grew up with, her childhood friend and confidant, would become her most formidable foe?
The playful nickname "Little Critter" they used to throw around in jest had become a cruel prophecy. He had morphed into a cold-blooded monster, capable of taking a life without batting an eye.
Avery's handsome face was stoic as he drew closer, but upon reaching Evadne, his smile was genuine, pure, and unguarded.
"Evadne, I'm truly happy to see you," he said, his voice light.
At his side, Thaddeus' eyes clouded over, and his muscular arm instinctively wrapped around his beloved, pulling her close. His protective embrace was a clear, unspoken warning - a boundary not to be crossed.
It had been Thaddeus' idea to let this snake into their home, but now, he felt a surge of unease.
Evadne's red lips parted coldly, "Seeing you only makes me feel sick to my stomach!"
Avery, seemingly unaffected by her scorn, continued to gaze at her with undiminished affection. "No matter what you say or do to me, my feelings for you won't change."
Arnold, leaning against a wall, felt his stomach churn as if he was about to vomit.
With a swift motion, Elvis's eyes gleamed with a frigid light, and he flashed a dagger with deadly intent. "I seriously want to see if stabbing him in the face would reveal how thick-skinned this lunatic really is!"
Evadne's frown deepened, a chill creeping up her spine.
"Avery, you come straight back from abroad and show up here. What are you plotting?" Thaddeus' jaw tightened, his stern brows adding an edge to his handsome face.
Avery ignored him, extending his pale, elegant hand to Harvey, who was standing behind him. Harvey immediately placed a securely protected medical steel box into his palm with reverence.
"I heard Mr. Emeric fell ill again, and this time it's serious," Avery said earnestly, offering the box to Evadne. "This medication has helped many stroke patients recover back home. I truly hope it can help Mr. Emeric."
