His Ex wife is a billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) Novel Full Episode

He popped the pill into his mouth and swallowed it down.

The sound of Evadne's voice in his ears gradually faded away, disappearing into silence.

It seemed like it had been over a year since he last needed medication to soothe his headaches.

He had thought he would never have to rely on it again.

...

Meanwhile, in the study.

Avery clutched the medical report in his hands, his handsome face pale as a ghost, only his eyes red and swollen as if he had been crying blood.

"Mr. Chambers, your current health situation... it's not looking good."

His personal doctor stood beside him, carefully choosing his words, "The medical facilities on the island are far too limited to deal with any emergencies that might arise from your condition.

I recommend that you seek treatment at a major hospital this month. It might provide some relief."

Avery's lips, dry and pale, moved slightly, "Intensive treatment could cure me?"

The doctor looked down, hesitating to speak.

"My condition... it's incurable, isn't it? I don't have much time left, do I?"noveldrama

Avery's laugh was hollow, a mix of weakness and the fear of impending death

enveloping him in an invisible net he couldn't escape from.

"Don't be so pessimistic. With aggressive treatment..."

"Just tell me, how long do I have?"

The doctor choked up, "At most... six months."

"Heh..." Avery closed his eyes and shook with laughter.

"The medication you've been taking... it hasn't been treating your condition but masking it, even damaging your organs."

The doctor sighed helplessly, "To put it bluntly, it's been a slow poison, highly addictive, making it impossible for you to stop using it.

By the time you realized, it was too late, much like how pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages, when it's already..."

Beyond hope.

Avery's gaze dropped, crushing the report in his hand, as if by doing so, the bad news would crumble away with it.

"So, my life is to end like this?"

Avery slowly turned his eyes to the black rose on the windowsill, carefully nurtured for Evadne, his eyes filling with fragmented, dark light, "Indeed, everything comes at a price.

The adulation I've enjoyed for nearly a decade... all of it was bought at the expense of my life."

He thought it was a boon from a benefactor.

In reality, it was merely a deal with the devil.

"I've never feared death. It's just... I can't bear to leave..." Thinking of Evadne, tears suddenly streamed down his face, breaking his heart over and over.

She resented him for what he had become, hated him for his ruthlessness, his hands stained with blood.

But if he had remained the weak, kind-hearted, innocent Ave, how could he have ever made his way back to her?

To be a good man...

Avery laughed through his tears, his expression twisted in pain.

The me of the past, just being human took all I had, let alone being a good person.

Evadne, you had everything from the start, doting parents, siblings, friends who stood by you.

But me?

You could never be me, so you could never understand me.

But before Avery could sink deeper into his sorrow, the frantic voice of a servant came from outside the door:

"Mr. Chambers! It's an emergency! Ms. Evadne has started up the helicopter, she's trying to escape the island!"
