Chapter 650
We Trades Abernathy Mh. Thaddeus berman
Nothing
shed her head, her laughter dunong in her eyes. “What’s got you so spellbound? Or is there something
on my face?”
Thaddeus abruptly stapped back to reality a trace of melancholy in his demeanor.
Paloma was his lifesaver. They had fought side by side and escaped death’s clutches. Without her, he
would never have made it back to Emsworth to become the sought–after CEO. And he would never
have fallen in love with Evadhe.
He could never forget Paloma’s kindness, and he had never stopped searching for her. But she had
vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the world.
Now, Chad mentioned a woman who had worked with Doctor Without Borders in Zenithia. As his heart
stirred, his gaze towards Alexa grew complicated.
* Mr. Tracteus Abermathy is interested in my story, maybe some other time, or when you visit Mr. Chad
Abernathy again, I could share it with you.” Alexia offered with a soft, sweet smile.
You misunderstand. Your experiences simply remind me of someone from my past. That’s all
Thaddeus coolly averted his gaze, lifting his teacup with an air of grace.
Alexia bit her lower lip.
“Alright, Alexia, my brother has always been a serious guy. Don’t tease him.” Chad interjected,
changing the subject, Thaddeus, you’ve come all this way to see me, and I know it’s not just for a visit.‘
Thaddeus felt a lump in his throat, “Chad, L
Don’t worry. You and I are brothers, whatever the reason you’re here, I won’t hold it against you. Just
seeing you again makes me happy” Chad smiled warmly eyes soft, his words sincere, ‘Got a problem
you want to talk about?”
“Chad someone very important to me is sick. There’s this new drug in the country that can treat his
condition, but for the life of me, I can’t get my hands on it. I thought of you because of your connections
here. You’ve been friends with William and his son over these years, and I was hoping you could help
me to ask some information.”
As he spoke. Thaddeus pulled out his phone and showed Chad a photo of the medication, “How can I
get this drug?”
Chad asked with a light smile. This important person, is it Chairman Ashbourne?”
Thaddeus breath caught in his chest.
Alexia glanced at the screen, That’s a medication for cerebral infarction recovery. Chairman Ashbourne
had cerebral infarction?”
Thaddeus sharp gaze was landed on her face, cold as a blade. Even though Alexia was used to high–
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpressure situations, that icy lock sent a shiver down her spine.
Thaddeus, don’t get the wrong idea about Alexia.” Chad sipped his tea, “Even if you hadn’t said
anything, I’d know you came for the Ashbourne family. The only outsider who could make you so
concerned would be someone related to Ms. Ashbourne.
Chairman Ashbourne’s secret hospital stays haven’t gone unnoticed. You know, in the world of high
finance, nothing stays secret for long. Alexia was just making an educated guess.”
“In that case, there’s no point in hiding it now.” Thaddeus set down his teacup after a moment’s
thought, T’m here for Chairman Ashbourne’s illness. I want to get the medication to him as soon as
possible. My love, Evadne, she’s withering away worrying about her father. If I do nothing, what kind of
man would I be?”
Chad nodded, understanding. “I understand. Your feelings for Ms. Ashbourne are touching. The drug is
rare, sure, but over the years, through my taking medicine and treatment, I’ve made connections in the
medical field. I have a friend who can get it. I’ll ask them for you.”
“Really? That would be incredible!”
Thaddeus‘ face lit up, “Chad, how can I ever repay you for this favor?”
Chad’s eyes gleamed with an unreadable intent, his lips curving slightly, “Although I’ve been away in
the country, I’ve heard all about how you dote on Ms. Ashbourne, treating her like a treasure. When I
return to Elmsworth, if I wanted to befriend Ms. Ashbourne, would you oppose it?”
Thaddeus felt a twinge in his heart, his grip on the teacup white–knuckled.
“Mr. Chad Abernathy, you’re putting him in a tough spot. Ms. Ashbourne is his heart’s delight. He’d love
to lock her away in a

golden house if he could. Even if you’re his own brother, I doubt he’d willingly share her, Alexia said
half–jokingly
But her words were laced with meaning – it wasn’t just Evadne that Thaddeus might be unwilling to
share, but power and status, even if Chad was his lifesaver, so what? If the day came when Chad
returned to the Abernathy Group and he wanted the power, would Thaddeus really let him have it?
“Alexia, don’t be like that.” Chad’s expression darkening slightly, “Thaddeus is my brother. We grew up
together. I know him well.”
“Chad, the idea that you want to be Evadne’s friend seems unnecessary to me.” Thaddeus said evenly,
though his eyes were cool, “Once we’re married, she’ll be your sister–in–law. Isn’t that closer than
friends?”
Chad was taken aback, and then smiled, “You have a point.”
‘As for the medication.”
“Why don’t you head back to Elmsworth first? I imagine Ms. Ashbourne might be unable to eat or sleep
well without you.” Chad showed signs of fatigue and a desire to end the meeting, “I’ll get the medication
as soon as possible and send someone with it. You trust me, don’t you?”
“I’ll wait for your good news.”
With the conversation reaching its natural end, Thaddeus had no choice but to rise and take his leave.
After the man had left, Chad narrowed his eyes and opened the box beside him, retrieving the
medication that Thaddeus had requested.
“Alexia, you’ve been quite chatty today.”
“My apologies, Mr. Abernathy!” Alexia quickly admitted her fault, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“I understand you’re seeing an old friend, and it’s natural that you can’t contain your emotions. But what
you need to do is make a good impression on Thaddeus. Your oversharing can destroy your air of
mystery and even give you away.”
Chad glanced at her pale face, “You know how sharp my brother is.”
“Mr. Abernathy, please don’t misunderstand me! I no longer harbor the same feelings for Thaddeus!
Now, when I see him, it’s nothing but hatred!”
Especially when he brazenly showed his love for Evadne in front of her. That just intensified her
bitterness!
“From love to hate, I get it.”
“No! I’ve never loved Thaddeus, never!”
Alexia quickly knelt at Chad’s feet, grasping his hand tightly, “My closeness to him since childhood was
due to my naivety and being swayed by Elspeth’s manipulation!
As I grew up, I approached Thaddeus further for the sake of my family’s interests! My heart was never
swayed by him! I never loved him!”
Chad smirked, bending down to lift her chin with his fingertip, “And what about me? Am I just someone
you’re using too?” Tears welled up in Alexia’s eyes as she swore, “My feelings for you are genuine, Mr.
Abernathy! I am utterly loyal to you; I would even die for you!”
“Let’s not talk of such ominous things. Stand up and speak,” Chad’s voice softened as he helped her to
her feet.
But Alexia’s heart was still uneasy. She couldn’t read his mood; despite being with him for so long, she
had never seen him angry. This only made her more anxious.
“Mr. Abernathy, by giving me a new identity, do you mean for me to replace that girl and get close to
Thaddeus again?”
“My brother might occasionally be foolish in matters of the heart, but in all else, he’s a genius. With you
knowing so little about him and that girl, how could you possibly replace her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad, sniffing the aroma of his tea, said leisurely, “Your new identity has already made a deep
impression on him, stirring endless magination. Its effect will come into play once we return to
Elmsworth.”
Alexia nodded, and then asked with surprise, “And this medication, are you really going to give it to
Thaddeus? Are you really going to save Emeric? If there’s no medication, Emeric’s condition will only
worsen, and both the Ashbourne family and the K Group will descend into chaos. Isn’t that what we
want?”
“Would the Chairman’s health improve just because he has the medication?”
Alexia gasped, “You mean?”
“Chairman Ashbourne is elderly and stricken with a difficult illness. It’s not his first bout with it, and his
body isn’t wh

was. With or without the medication, what difference would it make? The miraculous effects of such a
drug often make people overlook its side effects. But compared to brain death, lingering between life
and death, a few side effects seem like a bargain, don’t they?”
Chad coughed lightly, his tone casual. “Besides, it gives me a chance to do my brother and Ms.
Ashbourne a favor. Why not?”
Thaddeus returned to the hotel unsettled. First, he was anxious about not having the medication in
hand; second, the matter of Chad’s personal doctor, her history as a Doctor Without Borders in
Zenithia, was hard to ignore.
But was that woman really a doctor? Her hands didn’t seem like those of a doctor, with nails a bit too
long, painted a subtle pink.
“Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy, you seem so distracted. Did Mr. Chad Abernathy give you a hard time?”
Gordon was full of concern, always fearing his boss might be mistreated, “Did he impose any
conditions that were hard to accept? Taking advantage of the situation?!”
Thaddeus shook his head slightly, his voice deep, “Gordon, is it common for doctors to use incense or
perfume?”
“Uh? Wait a moment, I’ll google it.”
Gordon hurriedly pulled out his phone and quickly found the answer, “Well, as a rule, medical staff
shouldn’t use it. Scents can dull the sense of smell, masking the patient’s own odors, affecting
diagnosis. Pulmonologists, in particular, shouldn’t use it as it could trigger sensitivity or an attack in
patients.”
“Understood,” Thaddeus‘ gaze darkened.
“Mr. Abernathy, what’s going on? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Thaddeus did not respond, but his curiosity about this woman named Alexia and her true identity grew
even more.
