His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1316

"Cassius..."

Chasel collapsed in front of the man, his trembling hands gently cupping Cassius's blood-stained face. "Why did you do that... How could you be so stupid?"

"I wasn't stupid. It was the smartest decision... I've ever made."

Cassius placed his warm hand over Chasel's. The muscles around his ruined left eye sagged limply, but his right eye curved into a gentle, affectionate smile. "One eye in exchange for our little fox's life.

It was more than worth it."

"You idiot... you idiot..."

Tears streamed down Chasel's face as he leaned in and hugged Cassius tightly, wishing he could fuse himself into the man's very flesh and blood. "Your little fox is back, your little fox was wrong... I'll never run away again."

...

Aaron Ashbourne arrived with his team to remove Ian's body and clean up the gruesome aftermath.

Although there were signs of a struggle, Elvis and his team had jammed all the security cameras in the facility. Besides the fractures and intracranial hemorrhaging consistent with a fatal fall, there were no other lethal wounds on Ian's body.

So, it could only be written off as an accidental death.

Cassius was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.

Completely disregarding his own physical condition, Chasel waited anxiously outside the operating room alongside the rest of the Ashbourne family. His heart felt like it was roasting over an open flame, and a bitter taste coated his throat.

"Chasel!"

Evadne Ashbourne, dressed in a baggy hospital gown, dragged her still-recovering body down the hall and threw her arms around Chasel without a second thought. Crying like a lost child, she sobbed, "You finally came back... Chasel... I'm so glad you're home, I'm so glad you're home..."
