His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 949

Thaddeus's smile froze at the corners of his eyes as a vague pain welled up in his chest. The girl who, against all odds, had carried him back from the brink of death, the one who had suffered countless injuries for him and then vanished without a trace. He had never forgotten her and had tried everything in his power to find her. He wanted to thank her in person, to repay her for saving his life. But after leaving Country L, Paloma had disappeared like a raindrop into the ocean, leaving no trace behind. He had even begun to fear that she might no longer be among the living.

"It's not her."

Gazing up at the star-filled night sky, Thaddeus's eyes filled with a momentary pain before he quickly composed himself and replied, "But she's just like Paloma, brave and resolute. We've been through countless trials and tribulations together. I've committed myself to her in this life and the next. I love her deeply."

"Brother, I know you. You appear calm and rational, but once you fall in love, you treat your beloved like a deity, without a second thought, giving your all."

His friend sincerely remarked, "Your wife is very lucky!"

"No, it's me who's lucky she doesn't look down on me. In every way, I don't deserve her."

Thaddeus lowered his raven-black lashes, his handsome face flushed with modesty, "I wronged her first, and in every aspect, I'm not worthy of her."

"Good heavens, you were the top of your class at the military academy back home, the highest achiever in our unit! You're not worthy of her? Then I must meet your lady, to broaden my horizons!"

His friend still felt a pang of regret for him, "Ah, it was but a brief encounter back then, and I never thought there would be no day of reunion. Brother, I truly feel sorry for you and Paloma."

"There's no regret. If it's meant to be, by land or by sea, we'll meet again."

Thaddeus's lips curved slightly, his expression serene, "If we're destined, we'll meet again someday."

"Ah, well said, let's not force fate."

His friend suddenly changed the subject, "You didn't call me in the middle of the night just to catch up, did you?"

Thaddeus, his jawline tense and lips pressed together, found it hard to speak.

"Though it's been years since we've been in touch, our bond endures. When you took that bullet for me on the battlefield, we became brothers in arms. So, whether it's climbing mountains or diving into flames, I'm here for you, just say it!"

"After you were discharged from the peacekeeping forces, you were treated in a veterans' hospital for a while before joining the Royal Guard, correct?"
