Chapter 757
After ensuring everything was in order, the lovebirds set off for their return
journey to Elmsworth.

On the way, Thaddeus wrapped his arms around his lady, his lips grazing against
her earlobe, which was flushed as if stained with blood, and pecked at her plump,
rosy lips.
“Evadne, thank you. How can I ever repay you, huh?"
“Why the formalities?” With her left arm encircling his neck, Evadne’s fingertips
traced his straight nose, as gentle as a spring breeze, stirring his heart into
ripples, “Then you can cook for me for a month.”
“A month? Underestimating me?”
His eyes wed with indulgence, “Being a lifetime chef for my lady is a delight I'd
willingly embrace.”
Evadne shook her head repeatedly, “That's sweet, Thaddeus, but your sentiment
is enough. A meal now and then is charming, but a lifetime is a burden.”
“Actually, I feel quite guilty doing this to Aaron.”
Evadne pursed her lips helplessly, “But putting pressure on the Bartley family to
abandon the engagement seemed like the best win-win solution I could come up
with. Once they back off, it would buy Jareth more time to sort out his family
affairs. That way, he and Marilla could have a chance together.”
“There are other ways I can deal with the Bartley family.”
Evadne shook her head gently, “I know you're prepared, but don’t stir up trouble
with the EImsworth political scene too lightly.”
His lips tensed, “For Marilla and Jareth, I'm not afraid of offending anyone.”
“But you can't afford to offend Frederic right now. You can't hand him the
ammunition to think you're harming. or influencing the Group's interests. Isn't that
just giving him a reason to blow up?”
Sitting upright in his embrace, Evadne soothed him gently, “Don’t worry. Suri isn't
one to be trifled with. She’s been managing part of Emeric’s business and assets
for years. With her stepping in, she'll surely squelch the Bartley family’s ambitions
to cling to power.”
A smile crept uncontrollably across Thaddeus' lips, and just as he leaned in for a
kiss, the phone rang.
Seeing it was Jason calling, Evadne answered immediately, “Jason.”
“Ms. Ashbourne, there's an update on Glynnis.” Jason reported urgently, “Our
people just sent word; Glynnis went to the hospital for a checkup, and she looks
in bad shape.”.
“That's good.” Evadne's voice was low, her eyes cold, “Keep a close watch on
her. As soon as she leaves the hospital, get her blood sample by any means
necessary.”
“Understood, Ms. Ashbourne!”
Across the ocean.
For nearly a week, Glynnis suffered from an unrelenting fever that no medication
could subdue. Reluctant to face the exorbitant medical costs by going to the
hospital there, she bemoaned every penny of her meager living allowance,
wishing she could split a dollar three ways.
She remembered a time when, as the daughter of the Abernathy family, even a
pinprick on her finger would cause a flurry of concern. Now, her circumstances
were starkly different, and the sorrow hit her hard.
But recently, with the addition of weakness and persistent coughing, she dared
not delay and rushed to the hospital overnight.
After undergoing various tests, Glynnis, wrapped in her dingy sweater coat,
slumped onto a bench in the hallway and drifted into a fitful sleep.

She was awakened by a nurse who summoned her to see the doctor for her test
results. The doctor hesitated, looking at the lab report, and then spoke softly,
“Madam, I regret to inform you. The results indicate that you've been infected
with the HIV virus.”
“HIV?” Glynnis's face turned ghostly pale, staring blankly at the doctor's serious
expression. She understood enough English to recognize the gravity of those
three letters but was in utter disbelief, thinking she had misheard.

The doctor, mistaking her shock for a language barrier, repeated, “It's AIDS.”

“Why has it come to this, why?!"
Cast out of the Abernathy family, stripped of a life of luxury, deaf, and now
stricken with this vile disease, she thought death might be a merciful escape.

closer until they halted before her.
