    Thssa could feel Lysander''s anger seeping into her skin like a frigid breeze, tensing every muscle in

    her body. She dared not take his mood lightly.


    Her longshes flickered as she looked up at him. "Callum came to see me today. It was about Debby.


    I didn''t have any ulterior motives, and I definitely don''t n on running away again..."


    She was cut off abruptly as Lysander''s hand mped around her chin, his deep-set eyes shing a


    warning chill. "If you even think of running away again, it won''t be just his legs I''ll break!"


    A twinge of pain shot through Thssa''s jaw where he held her, causing her to furrow her brow. "You''re


    hurting me."


    There was a fleeting softness in Lysander''s gaze as he slightly eased his grip.


    Feeling a bit of relief, Thssa continued, "He''s Debby''s cousin, and he was hoping you''d show her


    some mercy, maybe lessen her sentence."


    She didn''t hide anything from Lysander, telling him everything about her conversation with Callum that


    was centered around Debby''s situation.


    Lysander tilted her face up to his with his index finger, his stern visage confronting her. "So, are you


    pleading for her?" His voice was low and frosty.


    Locking eyes with him, Thssa''s heart tightened. She had always been wary and frightened of


    Lysander, especially now, with him in such a furious state.


    Her fear deepened.


    But the more she shrank back, the angrier Lysander might be. Only by facing him head-on could


    she clear away his doubts.


    "Maybe reducing it by half, to say, ten years, wouldn''t be so bad," Thssa ventured.


    Lysander''s gaze turned piercing, the chill in the car so palpable that the air felt thin.


    Fearing his reaction, Thssa hurriedly added, "I''m not looking to forgive Debby. I just don''t want to


    owe Callum anything."


    His eyes bore into her, waiting for her to continue.


    Taking a deep breath, Thssa went on, "Callum risked his own safety to help me and the kids get


    away, which cost him a broken leg. I owe him for that. If settling Debby''s matter can repay that debt,


    then Callum and I are square."


    As she spoke, Thssa kept an eye on Lysander''s expression, avoiding to provoke him further.


    She had chosen her words carefully, trying to be as clear and straightforward as possible.


    Lysander''s icy demeanor thawed slightly. In the dim light of the car, his face was an unreadable mask,


    shifting between shadow and light.


    "You want to be even with him?" he asked, his voice a deep rumble.


    Nodding eagerly, Thssa confirmed, "Yes, owing someone just doesn''t sit right with me. It feels like I


    have to be more lenient with them. If I don''t owe anything, I can follow my own heart without any guilt."


    Her earnest gaze met Lysander''s, her clear eyes reflecting sincerity.


    Lysander watched her quietly, his expression unreadable and his eyes growing deeper still.


    With him staring her down, Thssa''s initial confidence ebbed away, reced by a creeping panic.


    "You..."


    "Okay," Lysander said abruptly.


    Thssa blinked in confusion, not immediately grasping what his agreement meant.


    When it dawned on her, her eyes widened in surprise. "You agree?" Reаd at NovelDrama.Org


    She had expected pleading for Debby to be an uphill battle, and yet, Lysander had agreed so easily!
