His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1036

Because they managed to save her in time, Evadne’s stomach hemorrhage wasn’t as serious as they’d feared. By evening, she’d been moved to a regular hospital room to rest.

Cassius stayed by her side, refusing to leave his little sister for even a minute. Even Aaron—usually a workaholic—had called in and taken the night off to be with her.

When Arnold Ashbourne and Camille Evert heard the news and wanted to visit, Cassius gently but firmly turned them away.

He knew Evadne was shattered, drained—completely spent. If they came, she’d only force herself to put on a brave face for them, pretending to be okay.

She was exhausted. Maybe being stuck in the hospital was actually a blessing in disguise—a chance to rest. At least she couldn’t throw herself back into the fire right now.

“Aaron…” Evadne’s voice was weak as she leaned against the headboard, blinking her swollen, red eyes. “Now… can you finally tell me?”

Aaron’s eyes went glassy. His words were thick with emotion. “Evadne, you never listen, do you?”

“I never have,” she replied, a faint, wry smile tugging at her lips. Even now, even pale and tired, her smile was beautiful—if only because it was so fragile. “Otherwise… how could Thaddeus and I have ended up like this?”

She paused, swallowing hard. “Big brother, Aaron… don’t blame him, okay? Thaddeus didn’t do anything wrong. It was me—I’m the one who lost him. It’s my fault…”

Her voice cracked, tears brimming over again.

“My Evadne didn’t do anything wrong either. Neither of you did.”

Cassius wrapped his big, calloused hand around her trembling fist. His chest ached. His heart felt like it was being squeezed. “But, Evadne, you have to promise me something: look forward. Please. Thaddeus isn’t the only thing in your life. Love isn’t everything. You have a father, and brothers, and sisters. If you fall apart, what are we supposed to do? Mom—wherever she is—she wouldn’t want this for you. You know I’m right, don’t you?”

Mom…

For the first time in days, a spark flickered in Evadne’s eyes.
