His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 983

Avery's face grew colder by the second, as the sunset bathed his rosary in a fading orange glow, an icy chill seemed to envelop it, spreading silently all around.

Evadne, her lashes damp, glanced at the pebbles underfoot before turning her gaze towards Hans.

Crunch—

The man, expressionless, looked back at Evadne, her eyes red and swollen, and took a loud bite of his apple, chewing noisily.

Suddenly, a strong jolt surged through Evadne's chest.

Her slender shoulders shuddered as she mustered all her strength to stand, to walk towards him...

Crash—the wheelchair tipped over suddenly, throwing her into the dirt.

"Evadne! Are you okay?!"

Avery panicked, trying to lift her up, only to be hysterically pushed away:

"I don't need you... I can do it myself!"

Evadne clenched her teeth, her delicate fingers digging fiercely into the muddy ground, a picture of misery but filled with determination as she struggled to her feet.

Avery was dumbfounded!

He had administered a sedative to Evadne the night before, and though it was already the next day, it should have been enough to leave her limbs weak.

In theory, she shouldn't have been able to move at all.

Perhaps, Hans's presence ignited an extraordinary willpower within her frail body, allowing her to miraculously overcome the drug's hold.

As the girl stubbornly rose from the ground, Hans, still chewing his apple, paused, his cold, unmoving eyes deepening slightly.

It was a fleeting moment.

Evadne gazed at Hans, a glimmer of light in her eyes, as if stars were gathering in the depths.

Hubery... it's you, isn't it?

My Hubery, who disliked the ocean but loved apples more than anything... it's you, right?
