His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 662

Seeing Chasel, the other members of the Ashbourne family were quite surprised.

Suri's eyes widened as she rushed towards him. "Chasel, what on earth brings you here?"

"Cassius' father is in trouble; I’d crawl here if I had to, Aunt Suri," Chasel said, his handsome face glistening with a sheen of sweat, a faint smile touching his lips.

Suri lowered her gaze. Her heart twisted with a mix of emotions.

It was she who had sent him away, causing a scene with the Brights and embarrassing Chasel in front of everyone in the Ashbourne family.

Yet, now that the Ashbournes were in trouble, this young man didn’t hesitate to rush over to help, even risking the wrath of the Bright family.

This showed that his feelings for Cassius were genuine.

But if this genuine sentiment would lead them both into an abyss from which there was no return, Suri wished it was nothing more than a fleeting fling.

"Chasel! How's my dad?"

Evadne, along with the rest of the Ashbourne family, gathered around him, their eyes filled with urgent concern.

"Brace yourselves for what I’m about to say."

Chasel's complex gaze paused on Cassius' stern face before sweeping over the other family members. "Chairman Emeric’s condition is critical. My advice is to halt all his work and come with me to a state-of-the-art clinic abroad for further treatment. From now on, he must prioritize recuperation; there might still be a chance for improvement."

"What do you mean by 'critical'?" Evadne's heart felt like it was crashing down around her.

The Ashbourne family was thrown into panic; Myra, Nydia, and Aviana were already on the brink of tears.

"Chairman Emeric’s incontinence can be attributed to the side effects of the medication he was taking."

"Emeric has only used that medication twice. Even if there are side effects, how could they be so severe?" Suri was infuriated, but thankfully her son Aaron was keeping her steady as her legs threatened to give out.

Chasel hesitated, then decided to lay it all out. "Everyone's body has different tolerance to medication. A young man might withstand such a dosage, but Chairman Emeric’s age and physical condition no longer allow for such aggressive treatment.

The previous time was to save his life, as the alternative, a lifelong paralysis or brain death, was far worse. But now, we should have proceeded with conventional treatments—even if they’re slower in effect, they're gradual. Then the reaction we see today might not have emerged so soon."

Thaddeus' head sunk in despair, his hands falling limply to his sides before clenching into fists.

In the end, it was his fault.

If only he hadn't brought that medication for Chairman Emeric, none of this would have happened.

"Chasel, are you saying that my dad is going to..." Evadne's voice choked up as her chest filled with a tumultuous dread, as if it was filled with countless steel marbles dropping down, pitter-patter, causing her unbearable anxiety.

"Disease progression to a later stage can affect cognitive functions, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities and intelligence. Even if the muscles that control urination work fine, cognitive impairments may prevent voluntary control, leading to incontinence."

Chasel’s eyes fell, shadowing the glimmer of sorrow within. "I've reviewed Chairman Emeric's medical history from Dylan and fully understood his condition over the years. His cerebral thrombosis is already at an intermediate stage; he has been concealing it from his family and the public, refusing to retire early, enduring the pain.

There was a chance for a cure in the early stages, but now we can only rely on the latest equipment and medication to alleviate and delay the progression."

Evadne stared at Chasel's moving lips, unable to contain the overwhelming grief any longer as tears cascaded down her cheeks.

In other words, it can no longer be cured.

The devastating news struck the Ashbourne family like a thunderclap.

The titan of Skyrim, the business tycoon, the king of K Group whose empire never saw sunset.

Was it truly his twilight hour?

Thaddeus' phone rang at that moment. It was Jareth. He turned away to answer in a low voice, "Jareth."

"Thad, I've seen the news. Chairman Emeric’s illness is making quite the stir; it looks serious."

Jareth's voice was full of concern. "Bro, if there’s anything troubling you, tell me first. You and Evadne are more than friends to me; you're like family. Whatever it is, I'll do everything in my power for you."

"Thanks, Jareth."

Thaddeus' voice was hoarse with emotion, a bitter taste rising in his throat. "If you can, when you have a moment, could you look for some leading experts on cerebral thrombosis, domestically or internationally? I want to do everything I can to help Chairman Emeric and Evadne a little more."

"Your concerns, no matter how small, are paramount to me. I'll order our Fairhaven Group to utilize all its resources and contacts to assist you."
