His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 622

Avery's eyes darkened, his cheeks burning with a searing shame.

Chasel's sharp tongue could shred one's dignity without a single curse word – an art form in its own right.

Ultimately, Avery had no choice but to leave behind the things he brought, taking Harvey and departing the hospital.

"Why did you snake Avery's stuff, Chasel? We Ashbournes don't need his charity!" Evadne's anxiety was palpable, her thoughts racing with suspicion. "Besides, how can we be sure Avery's offering medicine and not poison?"

"I can be sure," Chasel said, his expression suddenly grave.

It was rare to see him so serious, and it silenced both Evadne and Thaddeus.

"I can have the drugs tested. And he wouldn't dare bring poison to the hospital to see his lover's father. He's not that foolish," Chasel said, arms crossed, shaking his head in disbelief.

Cassius, with his deep-set, dark eyes, coughed softly, a glint of amusement in his gaze.

This little fox had certainly learned some tricks.

Evadne's eyes reddened, her stubbornness unwavering, "Even if it is legitimate medicine, I won't accept anything from Avery!"

Chasel grew impatient, blurting out, "We have to try it, don't we? What if it works?"

In moments of crisis, Thaddeus was the more composed one. His mind racing, he pressed, "Dr. Bright, what do you mean by that? Isn't Mr. Emeric past the critical phase? Is there something else?"

Evadne's heart clenched, breath hitching, unable to calm the tumultuous waves of emotion as she gripped Thaddeus' hand for support.

Chasel, ever the candid one, had struggled to keep this secret for days, especially in front of Cassius.

Now that he'd accidentally let it slip, he decided to lay it all out.

"Chairman Emeric is only temporarily out of danger, but his prognosis isn't good. At his age, after one stroke, the next one is likely to be more severe. I've spoken to my aunt about his previous condition and reviewed his medical records. He's been experiencing numbness and motor difficulties for the past couple of years, managing only with targeted drugs developed by Bright Biopharmacy. But that's just control, not a cure."

Suri looked downcast, her heart aching with sorrow.

She was a proud and strong woman, striving for perfection in all things. Yet, she couldn't protect the man she loved from his sufferings.

She had tried everything, to little avail. She would have gladly borne the pain herself.

"Moreover, after the recent emergency, Chairman Emeric has been unconscious for three whole days. This is the longest he's been out since his stroke. If he doesn't wake up in the next couple of days, we're looking at a dire situation."

Chasel's words sent shockwaves through the room!
