Chapter 688


    Thssa’s breath hitched as she locked eyes with Lysander’s jet-ck orbs. Her heart was pounding


    like a drum, both uncontroble and raging


    Swallowing a gulp of cool water, she braced herself for the whirlwind she knew he was capable of


    bing.


    As Lysander stared back at her, her lips were made even more crimson from his kisses; the rapid rise


    and fall of her chest signaled her nervousness.


    Lysander’s eyes went gloomy. A soft glow seemed to pass through his deep gaze.


    Thssa caught the subtle change in his eyes and misinterpreted it as a sign of affection. Hershes


    fluttered down, ready to close her eyes.


    Suddenly, the pressure on her body vanished, along with the nearness of his masculine presence.


    Lifting her gaze, she found Lysander straightening up and releasing her jaw. His tone was impassive,


    “You’re to rest at home for at least a month. No work.”


    With that, he shut the passenger door and settled himself in the driver’s seat.


    Thssa blinked in surprise and curiosity. A month’s rest at home? Was that her punishment?


    Was this a punishment or a reward?


    The car started and gradually picked up speed, winding down the mountain road and getting onto the


    smooth asphalt highway.


    As Lysander focused on driving, Thssa began to feel weak after the moment of extreme tension.


    Tired and weary, her eyelids grew heavy and she fell asleep.


    The car pulled up in front of Royal Estates. Lysander exited and unbuckled Thssa’s seat belt. He


    scooped her up in his arms, heading towards the mansion.


    Thssa slept soundly. She felt ufortable when lifted so she nuzzled her head into Lysander’s


    chest, found afortable position, and continued sleeping.


    Her fluffy head, like a kitten’s, rubbed against Lysander’s chest, causing his heartbeat to falter


    momentarily. ncing down at her, he found her peacefully asleep.


    His gaze deepened as he carried her into the house.


    Their four little ones were ying hide and seek with Fitch. Elowen was the first to notice Thssa.


    She ran over excitedly, “Mommy


    “Shh, don’t wake her,” Lysander warned Elowen and gestured her to be quiet.


    Elowen tilted her head back. While seeing her mother sleep soundly in her father’s arms, she


    obediently nodded; her big, bright eyes were filled with curiosity and joy.


    Soon, Dorian and Sophia also noticed their mother had returned. With their short little legs, they


    excitedly rushed over, eager to be close to their mom.


    “Mommy…umm…” Dorian was about to call out when Elowen’s chubby little hand covered his mouth.

    “Shh, don’t wake Mommy. Daddy’s got her asleep in his arms. Daddy really loves Mommy; if we wake


    her, he’ll be upset,” Elowen whispered in a knowing tone.


    Despite her attempts to be quiet, those nearby could still hear her.


    Lysander was speechless.


    Did she say he loved Thssa? Was it that obvious?


    Dorian’s blinked his deep eyes and quickly understood what she said. He nodded in agreement.


    Although the kids longed to be near their mother, they didn’t want to disturb her. So, they watched as


    Lysander carried her upstairs.


    Lysanderid Thssa down on the bed in the master bedroom and called Dr. Everest on his ‘phone.


    In less than ten minutes, Dr. Everest arrived. While Thssa was still asleep, he examined her twisted


    ankle.


    Lysander stood by, watching. Despite his silence, his mere presence filled the air with an invisible


    pressure.


    His gaze was fixed on Thssa’s swollen foot, the back of which was bloated like a hill. He could


    imagine how severe her sprain was.
