Chapter 785


    Lysander stood facing the ident scene, with the children tucked against his chest, their backs to the


    chaos. His hands firmly pressed down on their little bodies, shielding them from the horrific sight.


    His eyes met with Leopold’s and saw his eyes were bloodshot, holding back some emotion. Furrowing


    his brows, Lysander turned and walked away.


    He quickly caught up with Thssa, ncing at her.


    Her face was ashen, lips trembling uncontrobly, not just from fear, but more so from worry.


    Who was she worried about? Leopold’s injuries, or the fright the kids might’ve experienced?


    Lysander matched his strides with Thssa’s, walking beside her.


    As Thssa hastened to leave with the children, a shadow loomed at her side. An icy aura enveloped


    her, impossible to ignore.


    She turned to see Lysander and the children who were nestled against him. They were so still, clearly


    terrified out of their wits.


    Lysander’s handsome face was tense, and his eyes were fixed on her.


    Thssa met his gaze, her heart sinking.


    Without stopping, they continued their quick exit. The security guards were drawing caution tape to


    prevent anyone from entering the mall. The people outside were oblivious to what had happened,


    naturally curious as to why they were being barred from entry.


    The guards simply mentioned an emergency and turned away all those attempting to enter.


    The mall was now exit-only.


    Thssa, holding Dorian and Atticus’ hands, sat down by a flower bed outside the mall. Finally, she


    had a moment to check on the children for any injuries.


    “How are you, Dorian, Atticus? Are you hurt?” Thssa asked, her eyes filled with concern.


    Dorian shook his head. “I’m okay, Mom.”


    “I’m okay too.” Atticus was quick to reassure her; he didn’t want Thssa to worry.


    Lysander, too, let Elowen and Sophia down. The frightened little ones hurried into Thssa’s arms,


    their voices soft and pitiful.


    “Mommy, what exploded? I was so scared,” Elowen whimpered, her grip on Thssa’s dress


    trembling.

    Sophia, who had held her tears all the while, finally let them flow as she buried her face in Thssa’s


    chest.


    Hearing the children’s soft, scared voices, Thssa felt her heart shatter. She hugged all four children


    tightly, kissing their foreheads and soothing them gently, “Don’t be scared; it’s over. Mommy and Daddy


    are right here. It was just a movie shoot; it’s not real, Don’t be scared.”


    As sheforted the children, Thssa couldn’t help but think of the sight she’d just witnessed the


    blood-stained floor, Leopold’s body pierced with shards of ss…


    Her heart clenched painfully.


    She wondered how Leopold was doing now.


    Her gaze shifted to meet Lysander’s deep eyes, her heart skipping a beat as she desperately tried to


    hide her worry.


    Everything would be alright.


    There were plenty of staff in the mall, and they would’ve called for help.


    As long as Leopold’s vitals were unharmed, he would be okay.
