Chapter 621


    Their footsteps passed by Thssa, heavy with an icy wind that cut across her face, sharp and cold.


    Thssa watched as they walked away, her gaze trailing their footprints until they were lost from sight.


    Tears filled her eyes as she stared nkly at the then-deserted corridor.


    A pair of leather shoes approached. Stopping beside her, a man’s voice rang out, “Ms. Everhart, may I


    assist you?”


    Thssa turned her stiff neck to look at the man. It was David.


    With a dry swallow, she managed to get out, “I can do it… on my own…”


    Her voice came out raspy, a sharp paincing every word. The force with which Lysander had just


    choked her could have easily been fatal. Thssa tried to stand, her hands pressing against the cold


    floor, but her legs were numb and weak, causing her to crumble back down.


    David bent down to help her, but as he extended his hand, Thssa managed to rise, using the wall for


    support.


    David retracted his hand and said, “Ms. Everhart, it’s gettingte. You should go home.”


    With that, he left.


    Thssa stood still, her legs shaking slightly as she stared at the silent corridor.


    The doctor’s words about letting the elderly rest in peace echoed in her mind, causing her heart to


    ache with a pain that made breathing difficult.


    She leaned against the wall, taking one shaky step after another towards the exit.


    Step by step, she moved towards the hospital entrance, only to see Lysander’s sleek ck Rolls-


    Royce drive off, followed by an ambnce.


    Without a doubt, inside that ambnce was Sybil’s body, which was on its way to the Sinir’s house.


    Thssa’s mind was a whirlwind of confusion. She called a cab and headed to the police station.


    There, she saw Evelyn, just finished with her interrogation.


    Evelyn’s hands were cuffed. Her usuallyposed face was panicked and disoriented, a mix of fear


    and shock.


    With trembling hands, she held onto Thssa’s. “Thssa,” she sobbed, “you have to believe me. I


    didn’t do anything. I was just trying to convince Sybil to ept you, to persuade Lysander to marry you,


    to give our children aplete family. I swear, I never pushed her. You have to believe me, Thssa.”


    Thssa’s heart weighed heavy as she managed to croak out, “Mom, why were you at the Sinir’s


    house?”


    Evelyn’s eyes shed with panic as she hurriedly exined, “I wanted to see the children, to pick them


    up from nursery, but when I arrived, Sybil was there, too. The teachers recognized her and handed the


    children over to her. In a moment of kindness, she invited me to join them at her home. I thought it was

    a good opportunity to discuss things with Lysander’s family, so I epted the invitation.”


    “But I never would have gone if I knew this would happen,” she added, her voice filled with regret.
