His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 80

This was the deepest, most painful secret Evadne had ever kept.

Two years ago, she lost her child. For a long time, she couldn't bear to see baby stores, hear people talk about kids, or even watch a baby on television without her heart aching unbearably.

She would always remember that Christmas night two years ago. It was snowing, and she was driving alone to the seaside with her grandpa to enjoy the snowy scenery. But they had an accident on the way. In order to get her grandpa medical help as quickly as possible, she endured her pain, got her grandpa back in the car, and drove straight to the hospital.

At that time, the Abernathy family was vacationing abroad, and Thaddeus was also overseas celebrating Christmas with Acacia.

Evadne bore the intense pain in her abdomen until Mr. Murray arrived. Finally, her strength gave out, and she fell to the ground as if she had fainted.

"Mrs. Abernathy! You're... you're bleeding!"

In her blurry consciousness, she saw blood constantly flowing from her lower body. The warm, metallic-smelling blood became a shadow in her memory that she could never erase. It was only then that she realized she was pregnant, and the baby was already two months old.

But she didn't even have a chance to experience a day of joy as a mother before she lost the child forever. This was her and Thaddeus' child.

"Mrs. Abernathy! I'll call Mr. Thaddeus right away!"

In the chaos, Mr. Murray pulled out his phone but was stopped by Evadne's cold hand.

"Don't... I beg you..." Her heart ached, and she was terrified. Her tears flowed as she pleaded, "Thaddeus... he doesn't know about this... it would break his heart... he would be angry at me... I beg you... Can you keep this secret for me?"

Evadne closed her eyes tightly, subconsciously covering her stomach. Her sadness made her choke up.

Fast forward to the present, she saw the panic and heartache of Aviana, Myra, and Suri as the four women held each other tightly.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Evadne... I won't mention it again... I won't ever bring it up again! Don't be sad... please..." Aviana spoke firmly, but her attempts to seem comforting felt clumsy.

"The child should actually feel lucky." Evadne forced a smile. "If the child were born, it would have to witness the discord between its parents and lose its father's love. Rather than that, it's better... It was better not to come into the world and suffer."

That night, Evadne barely slept. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the blood all over the ground and the unformed embryo. She curled up in pain under the covers, but she couldn't resist the cold feeling.

During the time after she lost her child, her crying was uncontrollable. On the battlefield, she was not afraid of bullets and gunfire, but because she lost the life of that little baby, it felt like her heart was being torn apart, like her entire soul was collapsing.

"My child, I'm sorry. I've lost you forever. I don't know if I'll have the chance in this lifetime to have you again." She muttered to herself in the middle of the night.

In the morning, after a sleepless night, Evadne got up early. When she came downstairs, she was back to being the radiant and noble young lady.

"Evadne, I've prepared breakfast. It's all your old favorites. Why don't you eat before you go?" Myra, wearing an apron, came up to her and looked at her carefully. She could still see the bloodshot eyes and couldn't help feeling a pinch in her heart.

"Myra, can you pack it for me? I'll eat on the way." Evadne lifted her delicate lips, hiding her sadness. "I have a high-level meeting at the hotel this morning, I must attend on time."

"Okay, I'll pack it for you. I'll pack Mr. Jason's plate as well." Myra smiled gently, like a loving mother.

"Thank you, Myra." Jason had just walked in when he heard this, and he thanked her.

Evadne left the villa with Jason. At this time, Emeric was still asleep. She didn't want to disturb him and planned to quietly return to Elmsworth.

"Evadne, you're managing such a big hotel in Elmsworth by yourself. If you run into any problems, you must let us know. If the Abernathy family bullies you, don't swallow your anger. You must tell us."

Suri remembered the last time at the auction when Evadne was surrounded by Elspeth and her gang. She gritted her teeth in anger. "Next time, I'll make them pay the price, and make them unable to live in peace for the rest of their lives!"

"Suri, that's exactly what you should do! Let's see what the Abernathy family can do!" Aviana cracked her knuckles. "Dare to bully Evadne? They're asking for it!"

Evadne couldn't help but laugh.
