His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 134

At the Elmsworth Hospital, in the emergency room.

Acacia had been given a blood transfusion, but her life was still hanging by a thread.

Word was, when she was brought to the hospital, she was pale as a ghost, with a deep ga sh on her

wrist that didn’t look good.

Out in the hallway, Acacia’s parents, along with Frederic and Glynnis, were all present.

Acacia’s mom, Una, was a wreck. Calling out her daughter’s name over and over, she had already

burst into tears more than once.

“Enough, you’re not a spring chicken anymore. You can’t carry on crying like this. Otherwise, people

will laugh at you!” Acacia’s dad, Mr. Stirling, said sternly.

“Laugh at me? My daughter’s life is hanging in the balance and all you care about is your dignity? Do

you even have a conscience?” Una grabbed her husband by the collar. sobbing uncontrollably, “My son

is already dead! All I have left is my daughter! If anything happens to Acacia, I don’t want to live either!”

Mr. Stirling’s face darkened in frustration. His daughter had harmed herself over a man, and his wife

was making a scene.

He always felt inferior to Frederic, and now he didn’t know how to deal with the two women in his

family. He felt humiliated in front of the Abernathy family, and in his anger, he pushed Una away.

“All you know is to make a scene! This is a hospital, not a fish market! Have you forgotten how to act

like a chairman’s wife?”

“You pushed me?” Una sat on the ground, too shocked to even cry.

“Please stop fighting! The important thing now is whether Acacia can get through this. That’s more

important than anything!” Glynnis quickly helped Una up, but was secretly sneering.

If it weren’t for her mom being investigated by the prosecutor’s office, and her dad insisting on her

coming to help, she wouldn’t give a da mn about this girl’s life.

But since she was here, she had to put on a good show and hide her happiness.

“Mr. Frederic, my daughter is in this state. You owe us an explanation!”

Mr. Stirling, with nowhere to vent his anger, lashed out at Frederic, “My daughter has been entangled

with your son for years. She has spent her best years with him! Now their engagement is the talk of the

town, all of Elmsworth knows my daughter is Thaddeus’s fiancée. It was agreed that they would get

married after Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday, but your son is dragging his feet on divorcing that woman. We’ve

been patient for the sake of Mr. Hamiltion’s health. Now that Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday has pa**ed and

your son is divorced, how can he back out now? Isn’t this driving my daughter to her death?”

Frederic was upset and gloomy, unsure of what to say.

“Although our family can’t compare with Ms. Evadne’s great family and business, we’re still from a

respectable family, and we need our dignity! It’s outrageous how Thaddeus is treating Acacia!”

With Glynnis’s help, Una stood up, her eyes blazing with anger, “Mr. Frederic, we won’t let this go! If my

daughter breaks off her relationship with Thaddeus, we’ll make it public! Your family will never have a

moment of peace again!”

She knew Acacia had tried to kill herself to force Thaddeus to marry her.

Acacia and Thaddeus grew up together. As long as Thaddeus still had a shred of affection for Acacia,

he wouldn’t just stand by!

Even if their marriage was affected in the end, she would try to get as much as she could from the

Abernathy family. It was a risk-free investment!

Frederic sighed heavily, his face full of worry.

With the pressing issue of Elspeth, if rumors spread about the president betraying his fiancée and

driving her to death, the reputation of the Abernathy family would be damaged, and the stock market

would be shaken again.

Having reached this point, he couldn’t ignore Thaddeus’s wishes. He made a promise, “Mr. Stirling, rest

a**ured, once Acacia wakes up, tell her that I’ve made the decision for Thaddeus. Her marriage to

Thaddeus will not be affected by anyone or anything. Everything remains the same!”

Then the couple’s faces softened a little.

But thinking about the past, Una was still worried, feeling that Thaddeus’s position in the Abernathy

Group was at its peak. Thaddeus was no longer the weak illegitimate child. Even if Frederic wanted to

make decisions for them, Thaddeus might not go along with it.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Thaddeus, pale as a sheet, walked towards them with Gordon trailing behind.

“How’s Acacia?”

Before Frederic could answer, Una, with her swollen eyes, rushed over and grabbed Thaddeus by the

collar.

“Thaddeus! What did my daughter do wrong? Look at what you’ve done! Are you trying to kill her so

you can be with your ex-wife?”

*Mrs. Stirling! Please calm down!” Gordon hurriedly pulled Una away.

The commotion was too big. Despite the Abernathy group’s people maintaining order outside, there

were still onlookers, watching curiously.

“Calm down? My daughter’s life is at stake. She’s cried her eyes out and bled dry for this traitor and

now she’s at risk of losing her life! How do you expect me to calm down?”

Una pointed at Thaddeus’s pale face. “Thaddeus! If you’re not sincere about Acacia, why did you

deceive her into marrying you? Marriage is a big deal. How could you keep changing your mind? My

daughter is too kind. When you attempted suicide, you almost lost your life! It was my daughter who

saved you. Acacia has been so good to you, how could you hurt her like this! Where’s your

conscience?”

Thaddeus suddenly felt a headache.

His chest was stirred by the dark childhood memories, and he could hardly breathe.

It was as if he remembered the fragments of memories he tried hard to forget deep in his mind.

Evadne was forcibly taken to the hospital by Avery for emergency treatment on her wounds.

She didn’t let Jason come along, but asked him to stay and take care of Nydia so that her sister

wouldn’t be scared by seeing her wounds.

Nydia was soft-hearted and easily frightened, crying all the way and blaming herself. Jason felt sorry

for her.

Evadne absolutely couldn’t add any more psychological stress to her.

Luckily, she managed to dodge in time when she was injured, so the injuries were not serious and the

wounds were not deep.

When they came out, Evadne’s arm was already bandaged and she had been given a tetanus shot.

The jacket she was wearing when they arrived was torn and could not be worn anymore.

Now she was just wearing a thin red dress, set off by a pretty face.

Avery looked down at her eyes and then took off his own jacket and gently put it on her shoulders. “It’s

a bit cold outside, Put this on.”

“No need. I’m not cold.” Evadne was a bit flustered and tried to take it off.

But Avery held the jacket with both hands and wrapped her body even tighter.

“Your arm is so obviously bandaged. Won’t your sister and secretary worry if they see this? Better keep

it on.”

Evadne bit her lip, hesitated but didn’t resist anymore.

This man was so considerate and sensible. He was doing things for her that she couldn’t refuse.

“Sir, how did you happen to be there?”

“I live in that villa area too,” Avery told a lie. Actually, that villa area was his family’s project, but he

didn’t live there.

“Really? What a coincidence.” Her eyes twin kled a bit, but she didn’t ask further.

“When I saw you treating your wounds, I felt the pain, yet you didn’t show any. You are the strongest

girl I’ve ever seen.” Avery changed the subject, his eyes never leaving her.

“Actually, many girls are strong. You will meet many girls like me in the future.” Evadne gave a polite

smile.

Avery smiled slightly, thinking, “I don’t want to know others. I just want to know you.”

“Thanks for taking care of me all the way, but suddenly hugging a stranger. Although I know you mean

well, I still don’t like being too close to strangers.” Evadne spoke calmly. but clearly bothered by him

hugging her.

“I’m sorry. I got a bit anxious when I saw you injured.”

Avery adjusted his gla**es, his eyes filled with apology, “I’ll control myself better.”

Evadne smiled. Since he was so sincere, she wouldn’t hold it against him.

“By the way, I don’t even know your name. Can you tell me?”

Avery’s heart ski pped a beat, and he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

“Evadne.”
