Chapter 1334
Lysander’s voice was hoarse, low, “No need.”
Thalassa didn't want him at Evelyn's funeral. His presence would only push her
further away.
Besides, it was the townsfolk attending Evelyn's funeral now. In such moments of
raw emotion, people cried openly and shared their grief without pretense.
If he showed up, the air would stiffen, and the natural flow of mourning would be
disrupted by his presence.
His arrival would turn a heartfelt goodbye into a stifled affair, where the focus
might shift to reverence and status-seeking towards him.
Lysander’s decline of David's suggestion hung in the air as they watched the
funeral from a distance silently.
His eyes lingered on Thalassa, who stood by the graveside. Her face, framed by
the traditional white mourning attire of the West, appeared even more fragile and
paler.
She was still in her recovery from miscarriage, yet she bore this immense sorrow.
Lysander’s heart ached with a hidden pain. He wished he could to go to her, to
wrap her in his arms and give her strength, and to be her steadfast support.
But he couldn't. His presence would only cause her more pain, more rejection
and more turmoil.
So, he chose to watch from afar.
Now, he understood how Thalassa must have felt when she wasn't allowed to
attend Leopold's funeral-watching from a distance when the man she loved was
buried, denied even the right to bid him one last farewell.
Back then, she must have been in agony and despair.
Just like he was now.
He had never understood why, if she was barred from attending, she would still
hide and watch from the sidelines. Now, he had become the Thalassa of that
time.
He understood all her feelings.
It was indeed extremely painful.
The funeral ended, and the mourners gradually made their way back to the
village.
Lysander’s eyes were misting, and he instructed David, “Let's leave.”
Following orders, David quickly started the car and reversed, driving away from
the village.
Once they reached the asphalt road, Lysander said, “Stop here.”
David obeyed, pulling to a stop on the road, though it offered no view of
Thalassa.
He didn’t question Mr. Sinclair's motives. He simply followed orders.
