Chapter 1299
Zephyr cast a restrained glance at Ethan and quipped, “Mr. Ethan, you're not
busy these days? Got time to hang around here?”
Now Ethan saw the potent sting of being wrongfully accused. He felt a
connection to Thalassa’s grievances, which was the bitter taste of being unjustly
cornered.
Ethan replied professionally, “Susan’s a model working for our partner. She’s
shooting a commercial for our latest smartphone line. Checking in on her is part
of my job.”
“Then carry on,” Zephyr said dismissively and turned to Lysander, “Let's go,
Lysander.”
Beyond a fleeting glance at Thalassa and Ethan's intertwined hands when he first
entered the room, Zephyr hadn't looked Thalassa’s way again.
He led the way out of the ward.
Lysander’s dark eyes bore into Thalassa. Since his arrival, she hadn't uttered a
word to him, nor had she offered any explanations. She even seemed to be
avoiding his gaze.
The atmosphere around Lysander grew so cold it seemed to seep into the very
walls of the room.
Even a single explanation would have eased his mind.
But Thalassa just remained silent. When Susan accused her of harboring
resentment for ruining a potentially good thing and seeking revenge, Thalassa
offered no rebuttal.
Lysander felt a pang of disappointment. Not because he believed Susan's words,
but because of Thalassa’s refusal to defend herself.
She was still plotting to distance herself from him, to sever their ties completely!
“Aren’t you coming?” Lysander broke the silence first, his voice a low, magnetic
Under the pressure of his presence, Thalassa’s gaze finally met his.
Locking eyes with him, her resolve crumbled. No matter the grudges she held,
his m words could topple the defenses she had painstakingly erected.
“Of course, I'm coming. Who said I wasn’t?” Thalassa shot back, her brief
resistance giving way.
Overhearing their exchange, Zephyr halted and turned back, eyeing Lysander
sternly, “What's the matter? Grandma's not around and now you're not coming
home?”
Lysander glanced sideways at Zephyr and said, “I'll head back with you.”
With that, he strode off towards Zephyr.
Thalassa stood at the doorway of the ward, watching Lysander’s retreating
figure.
