His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1317

"Impossible... That's absolute bullshit!"

Evadne's red-rimmed eyes flared. Like a wild, uncontrollable force, she broke down entirely, losing every ounce of her usual composure in a fit of agonizing hysteria. "The Ashbourne family has money! All we have is money! I want my brother's eye back to the way it was! I want it perfectly healed, and you're going to fix him, damn it!"

"Ms. Evadne... we truly did everything we could."

The doctor hung his head in defeat. He didn't fault her for lashing out; he completely understood her devastation. "You have to look on the bright side. Mr. Ashbourne still has one good eye. Plus, our hospital's prosthetics are state-of-the-art. The surface looks almost identical to a real eye, so it won't affect his appearance..."

But Evadne couldn't hear a word of it.

She cried, she thrashed, she screamed. Her devastating sobs echoed down the length of the corridor.

"Don't do this, Evadne. You need to calm down, please calm down!" Thaddeus wrapped his arms tightly around her, his own eyes red as he pulled her flush against his heaving chest.

"Thaddeus... what do we do..."

The dam broke, and Evadne's scalding tears soaked into the man's firm, reassuring chest. "What's my brother going to do... what is he going to do... He's not whole anymore..."

Thaddeus's breath caught in his throat. Suddenly, his icy heart gave a violent jolt, and an indescribable warmth flooded from its very core.

His trembling hand pressed against the small of her shaking back, rubbing soothing circles as his lips parted slightly, his breathing growing increasingly ragged.

The rest of the Ashbourne family hung their heads in grim sorrow. Even a hardened, iron-willed man like Hans had tears welling up in his eyes.

"I'm sorry... Thaddeus, Evadne... This is all my fault. I'm to blame..." Chasel was already sobbing uncontrollably. His chest felt like it was being ripped apart. He was a doctor, yet he was powerless to fix Cassius's eye.

He had never felt so useless, so entirely incompetent in his entire life.

"Don't blame yourself, Chasel. It's not your fault. You're a victim here too."

Elvis stepped forward and pulled Chasel into a tight bear hug. "You have to live a good life. Only if you're okay will my oldest brother have the will to keep going."

Hans's voice was hoarse. "This is all on that animal, Ian. But at least he's dead. We avenged Cassius."

"No... not even close."

Going limp in Thaddeus's arms, Evadne slowly stopped crying, her eyes radiating an overwhelming, murderous hatred. "I want... Chad to die!"

She wanted him to suffer a gruesome death.

"Don't waste your thoughts on that filth."
