His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1277

The seconds ticked by agonizingly slowly.

Yet Emeric merely stared into Evadne's beautiful, tear-filled eyes with empty confusion. There was surprise in his gaze, but the deep, bone-deep adoration he had always held for her was entirely gone.

"Who... are you?"

In a flash, Evadne's vision went dark. The entire room seemed to violently spin around her.

Refusing to believe that the father who loved her most had forgotten her, she lost control. She grabbed Emeric's shoulders and gave him a hard shake, as if he were an old, glitching television set and she could physically jolt his memories of her back into place.

"Dad! I'm Evadne! I'm your darling Evadne! Look at my face... how could you possibly forget me?!"

"Child... stop shaking me... I feel sick..." Emeric groaned, looking deeply uncomfortable.

The family rushed forward to pull her back. Cassius wrapped his long arms securely around Evadne's trembling shoulders, pulling her into a tight, protective embrace. He whispered soothing words in a rough, gentle tone, but the girl in his arms continued to shake violently.

Bennett stepped up, fighting back tears. "Evadne, we know how much it hurts, but Dad just woke up. His body can't handle this right now!"

"No... No!"

Driven entirely by panic, Evadne's tears broke free. They rolled down her cheeks like shattered pearls. "Emeric Ashbourne! I am your daughter! Your own flesh and blood! Look at me! You are not allowed to forget me! I won't let you!"

When Thaddeus had forgotten her, the heartbreak had been like a knife slowly twisting in her chest.

If her father forgot her too, it would rip the very soul and life force right out of her body. If she lost the core motivations keeping her going, how was she supposed to survive?

"Daughter... daughter... I can't remember. My head hurts so much..." Emeric's expression twisted in pain, and he squeezed his eyes shut.

Myra stepped forward with red-rimmed eyes to comfort her. "Evadne, don't panic. Don't force him right now. If we just let him rest for a while, maybe the memories will naturally come back?"

Aviana had clearly been crying too, but she forced herself to stay strong for Evadne's sake. "Your mother is right. Let him rest. A lot of patients wake up disoriented like this. Once the initial recovery phase passes, he might be completely fine."
