Chapter 860


    Seeing those words, Thssa’s spine tensed up instinctively.


    It was as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching her, sending chills down her spine.


    Thssa subconsciously looked back through the window towards the bustling street outside the


    restaurant. She couldn’t spot Lysander anywhere.


    He hadn’t shown up, but he knew she was dining with Hertha.


    Her every move seemed to be under his watchful eye.


    This feeling of constant surveince made Thssa ufortable, and even her meal didn’t taste


    right.


    “Thssa, what are you looking at?” Hertha suddenly asked.


    Thssa shook her head lightly. “Nothing.”


    She held her fork, her eyebrows furrowed. Watching Hertha enjoying her meal, she chose to say


    nothing.


    Lysander was a dangerous man. Anyone who got involved with him ended up in trouble. Especially


    those rted to her. If they unintentionally upset Lysander, their fate wouldn’t be good.


    Thssa was now very worried about Hertha, her best friend. She shared everything with Hertha. The


    more Hertha knew, the more dangerous it was for


    her.


    So from now on, she decided not to tell Hertha anything about her and Lysander, to avoid causing her


    unnecessary trouble.


    With that thought, Thssa picked up her phone and replied to Lysander’s message.


    [Just started eating, won’t be done that soon. I won’t be going back to Royal Estates today. You don’t


    need to pick me up.]


    After sending the message, she put her phone screen down on the table, to avoid seeing any new


    messages from Lysander.


    She picked up her fork again and continued eating, faster and more vigorously. The more upset she


    was, the better she had to take care of herself.


    If she fell apart, the ones to suffer would be those around her. Protecting herself meant protecting


    them.


    “Thssa, you finally have an appetite! Eat a little more.” Hertha lifted her spirits seeing Thssa


    eating more heartily.


    She put more food on Thssa’s te, urging her to eat.


    “Alright, you too.” Thssa managed a slight smile and put food on Hertha’s te as well.


    “That’s more like it. We need to be full to deal with everything else.” Hertha’s radiant smile lit up seeing


    Thssa eating with gusto. It made her happier than anything.


    Thssa responded with a smile.


    Having not eaten properly for several days, Thssa was indeed hungry. Once her appetite was back,


    she ate a lot.


    In no time, the tes were almost empty.


    “Shall we order more?” Hertha asked.


    “I’m full, but you order whatever you like,” Thssa said, grabbing a napkin to wipe her mouth.


    “Oh, I’m full too.” Hertha replied, “I thought you weren’t done. Let’s not order anything else to avoid


    waste. I’ll go pay the bill, you wait here for a moment.”


    Hertha headed to the counter.


    When she came back, she and Thssa left the restaurant. As they stood on the esctor, a


    People hurriedly made way, panicking.


    A man dressed in ck entered the mall, followed by a few bodyguards. Their powerful presence

    seemed invasive instantly turning the lively mall into an atmosphere filled with tension and caution.


    Thssa looked towards the entrance, her gaze meeting those icy cold eyes. Her heart missed a beat,


    and she blinked in surprise.


    Lysander had shown up after all!
