His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Acacia got dragged outside, catching the attention of many medical staff around her. Her dignity was totally trashed. But hey, she had lost everything already, so what was another slap in the face? “Ah!” Gordon and the bodyguard let go of her in unison, sending Acacia tumbling to the ground. “Hey, buddy, you got a tissue?” Gordon asked the bodyguard. “Sorry, Mr. Gordon, I don’t have any on me.” “No worries, we’ll snag a few alcohol wipes from the nurse later. We’ve got to clean our hands after touching… well, something filthy.” With that, Gordon spat at Acacia, then turned around with the bodyguard and headed back inside. At that moment, the sky erupted with a thunderous boom. Within seconds, the heavens opened up, pouring rain as if trying to wash away everything. Acacia, repeatedly hit by one blow after another, sat there stunned and lifeless, without the strength to stand up in the rain. Her carefully styled hair for the birthday party was a mess, and the makeup on her face was washed away by the rain. “Thaddeus… I saved your life! How could you be so heartless, so ruthless?!” In agony, Acacia slapped the puddle, splashing muddy water all over her face. Her beautiful manicure was also broken in the process, causing her to scream out in pain. Then, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up at the hospital entrance, splashing Acacia all over with mud, even in her mouth. “Hey! Can’t you drive?! Are you blind, not seeing people around you?!” Acacia yelled angrily at the luxury car, looking like a lu natic screaming in the pouring rain. The car door opened, the driver got out first, and then he respectfully opened the back door for the pa**engers to come out.

Arnold got out first, took the umbrella from the driver, who had his back drenched in the rain but held most of the umbrella over the car door.

Then, Cas sius stepped out of the car with indifference. The two brothers shared one umbrella. Despite the gloomy sky, their figures still looked formidable. The moment Acacia saw the two of them, she was instantly scared, and she was left speechless. The foul words got stuck in her throat, making her face even more unsightly. “Ms. Acacia, your father is not in this hospital, right? Are you crying at the wrong place?” Arnold looked at the drenched Acacia coldly, a smirk on his lips. “Let’s go, Arnold, Evadne is waiting for us,” Cas sius, only caring about his sister, lightly patted Arnold’s shoulder. Without giving Acacia another look, the two brothers walked into the hospital together. “Evadne Ashbourne… why… why are you so loved and cherished by everyone, while I end up with nothing, even Thaddeus abandoned me because of you… why does it always have to be me?!” In the thunder and lightning, Acacia’s pale face looked even more distorted as if her features were twisted! “Evadne! One day, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to go… I definitely will!” After putting Marilla to sleep, Evadne sat by the bed, lovingly stroking the girl’s soft cheek, and sighed deeply. The little girl had been scared enough that night, and she was exhausted. After tucking Marilla in, Evadne got up and walked to the door with worry. Just as she opened the door, she was met with Thaddeus’ beautiful and melancholic eyes. He stood there, still impeccably dressed, but there was a new level of despair and defeat in his demeanor. Evadne frowned slightly, her gaze slowly moving down. The man’s collar had a gorgeous, eye-catching pin, which hurt her eyes. That pin was a gift she had prepared for him on Valentine’s Day in the first year she married into the

Abernathy family. She had personally taken care of everything from the design to the material selection, and it even had two high-quality rubies embedded in it. Just like Thaddeus, who had painstakingly prepared the Ruby Enigma for Acacia. Evadne’s gaze deepened, but a mocking smile played at the corners of her lips. The thing that man used to treasure was casually worn on him. No matter how she looked at it, she found it ridiculously ironic. “Acacia has left, she won’t bother us anymore.” Thaddeus looked deeply into her indifferent eyes as he a**ured her. “Really? Mr. Thaddeus, congratulations then. At least you got rid of a nuisance tonight.” Evadne’s smile was sharp, like a proud red rose as she continued to mockingly say, “I know Mr. Thaddeus is quite skillful in handling affairs with women. I wonder if Ms. Acacia got her two million dollars and a villa this time?” The lightning outside seemed to strike Thaddeus. His shoulders trembled, and his chest ached. The scene of him throwing the divorce agreement in front of Evadne cruelly resurfaced in his mind. Back then, he was hopelessly stubborn, only wanting to escape from the contract marriage, without considering how deeply it would hurt her, nearly shattering all her pride and dignity. The tear-stained divorce agreement was still on his bedside table. He didn’t even dare to imagine how she sat alone in the room, signing her name on the agreement with a heart-wrenching pain, after he left her like a scoundrel to find Acacia. Thaddeus felt even more sorry for her. Perhaps the whole world was wrong, and the only thing that wasn’t was Evadne’s love for him. Even if he didn’t love her back then, he shouldn’t have shattered her genuine heart like a diamond. Now it was in no condition to be pieced back together. “I heard from Mr. Murray, you saved some time for Grandpa with your ma**age. Thank you,” Thaddeus’ voice became h oa rse.

“You’re welcome, he’s like my own grandfather. Let me pa**.” Evadne didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She lowered her eyes coldly trying to leave, but he blocked her way. “Hmph, even a dog knows not to block the way. Are you even worse than a dog. Mr. Thaddeus?” She gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. “Evadne, I want to make it up to you.” Thaddeus was staring at her with piercing eyes as he wanted to know how to get rid of the tension between them, “Tell me… what should I do to make it up to you?” “Are you out of your mind or something? Since you’re in the hospital, why don’t you get your head checked while you’re at it?” Evadne scowled, squeezing out a smirk, feeling insulted to even hear his words. “I admit it was my fault… for the harm I’ve caused you…” “Stop!” Evadne waved her hand impatiently as she continued to say, “Thaddeus, stop apologizing to me from now on. I really don’t want to hear your apologies anymore. And just to be clear, I’ve realized, you’re head over heels for Acacia, she’s the only one for you. What’s wrong with the promises you made to her? You’re just being faithful to the one you love. Thaddeus, you’re not in the wrong here. I’m the one who fell for the wrong person. It’s my fault. But I promise, I’m only making this mistake once in my life, I swear, I won’t screw up like this again ever again.” Thaddeus felt his eyes getting watery, his fingers trembling as he clenched his fist. Every word she said was like a sharp throwing knife, nailing him to the pillar of shame. They both fell for the wrong person. The difference was, Evadne had seen the light and escaped that emotional prison, living freely. While he was falling deeper, seemingly doomed to struggle endlessly in his self-inflicted pain. ‘Evadne!” Hearing her name being called, Evadne quickly turned her head to see Cas sius and Arnold coming her way from the other end of the corridor. “Cas sius, Arnold!”

She joyfully rushed over from the stiff Thaddeus and couldn’t wait to throw herself into her brothers’ arms. “I’m starving, Cas sius, can you make me some late-night snacks when we get home?” Evadne pouted, acting coquettish as she held onto Cas sius’ arm. “Cas sius, I’m hungry too, whip up something for us!” Arnold mimicked Evadne, grabbing Cas sius’ other arm as if they were back in their childhood. “Alright, alright, I’ll cook for you two when we get back,” Cas sius looked at the two of them, his smile full of adoration as he a**ured them. Watching them disappear down the corridor, Thaddeus felt the world suddenly go quiet, his heartache unbearable. Without him, she still had others who loved her. But without her, why did he feel like his soul had been completely hollowed out?NôvelDrama.Org © content.
