Chapter 1066


    The hospital room was fraught with a palpable tension. Amelia''s voice was demanding. Lysander stood


    there, a silent sentinel, his aura icy and restrained. Despite his efforts to keep Amelia at bay, it was


    clear from the sharp, frostbitten contours of his face that a tempest of rage was brewing beneath the


    surface, held back only by his formidable self-control.


    Just a moment before, the doctor had been dispensing advice to Thssa with a breezy tone and


    reminding her of the precautions she needed to take during her pregnancy.


    But now, Amelia burst into the room, frantic and demanding to know if the child Thssa was carrying


    belonged to another man.


    The easy atmosphere was shattered.


    The doctor, sensing the icy chill emanating from Lysander, was petrified toe any closer. It felt as if


    Lysander cold presence alone could freeze the entire room.


    With a voice trembling with fear, the doctor quickly excused himself. "It seems you have some family


    matters to attend to. I''ll leave you be. Call me if you need anything."


    He gave them a cursory nod and fled the room as if any dy might trap him in the crossfire of their


    domestic crisis.


    "Out with it, talk to me!" Amelia''s voice was shrill with urgency, her face a mask of sweat and tears.


    Thssa''s breaths came in harsh gasps. As a mother herself, she understood Amelia''s anguish all too


    well. There was no greater sorrow in the world than a parent outliving their child, especially one they


    had cherished so dearly.


    Her heart ached as if it were being torn apart, but she had to reveal the cruel truth to Amelia.


    "No, the child I''m carrying... it''s not Leopold''s!" This revtion threatened to extinguish thest flicker of


    hope in Amelia''s heart.


    But it was the bitter truth.


    "I took the kids and fled to the countryside. I had no idea Leopold was there before I entered the room.


    We barely spoke two words before Lysander arrived and took me and the kids away. There was no


    chance for anything to happen between Leopold and me!"


    Thssa''s face was ashen. Her eyes were clear and resolute, her words firm and decisive.


    Even if Lysander hadn''t arrived when he did, nothing would have happened between her and Leopold


    either. She had made it clear to him long ago that there would never be anything between them. She


    wanted him to forget her and start a new life.


    She had never given him any hope, always rejecting him decisively.

    She turned Leopold away and hoped he would find happiness elsewhere. There was no way she would


    have entangled herself with him again, let alone bear his child.


    Upon hearing Thssa''s words, Amelia''s shaking frame froze, her eyes wide as the stars within them


    seemed to fall. She was stunned into silence.


    Then, after a suspended moment, tears cascaded down her cheeks. Her voice was breaking as she


    cried out in denial, "No, you''re lying! Leopold loved you; there''s no way nothing happened when you


    were alone together! The child you’re carrying is his! It has to be his!"


    As Amelia screamed, she lunged toward Thssa''s bedside. Her hands were wing at the air, ready


    to tear into Thssa and shake the truth out of her — that the child must be Leopold''s.


    Lysander''srge hand pressed against Amelia''s shoulder and held her back. As Amelia grew more


    frantic, his grip tightened and pushed her away. He growled with a cold fury, "Enough! She''s not lying!


    She was trying to escape with the kids, and I caught them just after she saw Leopold!"


    Thssa''s eyes widened in disbelief. She was shocked that Lysander believed her story and was


    taking her side.


    After the secret of her four children was discovered, Thssa had fled with them in a harrowing


    escape, only to be captured again by Lysander.


    Back then, Lysander had found her and Leopold at her family home. After dragging her back, he


    confronted her and used her of trying to elope with Leopold and the children.


    She had no way to exin that bumping into Leopold was a mere coincidence. Lysander had refused


    to believe her then, convinced she was guilty of betrayal.


    And now, he believed her as she told the same story to Amelia?
