NovelEnglishChapter 1009
Evadne had no idea that the night she fought tooth and nail with Avery in bed was already three days ago.
After sleeping for three days and nights, she finally awoke, weak and disoriented, on her hospital bed.
"Evadne's awake. Evadne's awake!"
Debby Ashbourne, who hadn't changed clothes or slept in three days, cried out with relief. The family, who had
been waiting anxiously outside, rushed in, surrounding their youngest sibling with worried faces.
Evadne's dull, tired eyes struggled to focus as her lips, dry as an autumn leaf, parted to recognize those familiar
faces.
"Thank goodness... she remembers us!" Debby exclaimed, gripping her sister's cold hand tightly, tears of joy
streaming down her cheeks.
Even though Darcy had hired the best medical experts to examine Evadne thoroughly, the doctors had warned
them that the prolonged coma might have caused irreversible brain damage.
But now, with her finally awake, the tension that had gripped everyone eased up a little.

"Evadne, I'm so sorry."
Elvis stepped forward, dropping to one knee beside her bed, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at his
sister. "I couldn't protect you from that monster Avery. | should've done better. | should've been there."
With a choked voice, he took her small hand and pressed it against his cheek. "Go on, hit me, hitas hard as
you can! | deserve it!"
"Elvis, it's not your fault. | don't blanyone," Evadne whispered, her long lashes fluttering as she tried to
move her fingers but lacked the strength. "How did | get back?"
The family exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from uncertainty to relief and back again.
Elvis and Aaron had received a call from a hospital during their search for Evadne. The staff said a man had
brought her in and left his contact information, which led them to her.
Later, they tried to get the hospital's surveillance footage, only to find it had been erased. But they didn't need it
to know the truth.
The person who had left her there could only have been Hans.
But why?
That man had gone through great lengths to take Evadne away from Redwood Island, presumably to escape or
hand her over to the sinister forces behind this
vel
nightmare. Why would heet
his mind and risk everything by bringing her back?
It was a puzzle wrapped in enigma.
"Evadne, no matter what, having you back safe and sound is what matters most," Aaron said gently, stroking her
forehead. "Don't worry about anything else right now. Getting well is the priority."
But Evadne was never one to let things go so easily. Her voice trembled as she asked:
"Did they catch Avery?"
"They did," Cassius replied, his voice thick with emotion. "He's locked up in
Helgen's jail and will be transferred to Emsworth tonight."
"That's good." Evadne sighed, closing her eyes briefly. A wave of mixed emotions washed over her.
The tshe
e spent on Redwood
Island with Avery was a dark,
harrowing chapter replaying in here mind. No matter what happened, Avery had succeeded in leaving an
indelible mark on her life-a shadow that would haunt her forever.
"And Thaddeus, where is Thaddeus?"
Evadne's eyes darted around the room, searching for the steadfast presence that always made her feel secure.
Panic set in when she couldn't find him. "Did something happen to Thaddeus while he was trying to save me?!"
