His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 974

The news of Evadne's abduction by Avery was a secret kept from her family back home, but Elvis was the exception.

He drove through the night with Elsie, rushing from the hospital to the White House.

On the road, Elsie didn't dare to say a word. Instead, she just gently held him, soothing his trembling back with patient, repetitive gestures.

At that moment, Elvis, despite his stoic facade, was on the verge of collapse. She knew that any word from her, even the palest comfort, would shatter his barely held together composure like a dam bursting at the seams.

"Big brother... Thaddeus..."

Upon seeing his kin, the usually unyielding and tough Elvis couldn't stop his body from shaking and finally broke into tears.

"Elvis, don't cry."

Cassius stepped forward to embrace his brother, his large hand gently patting his back, "Tears won't solve anything. Right now, our priority is to bring Evadne back."

"It's all my damn fault... all my damn fault!"

Elvis harshly slapped himself, "I neglected Evadne... I lost our little sister! I damn well deserve to die!"

"Elvis, it's not your fault."

Thaddeus walked over with heavy steps, his eyes red and swollen from lack of sleep, looking significantly more haggard than just a night ago. His once bright eyes now seemed to be covered in dust, "If anyone's to blame, it's me. I'm Evadne's man. I promised to keep her safe... and I failed miserably. I'm sorry."

He had messed everything up. Once before, when Evadne lost their child, he had said the same thing. But now, those words cut him a thousand times deeper, like a relentless bombardment threatening to tear him apart.

"Evadne...?!"
