Chapter 1299


    Zephyr cast a restrained nce at Ethan and quipped, "Mr. Ethan, you’re not busy these days? Got


    time to hang around here?"


    Now Ethan saw the potent sting of being wrongfully used. He felt a connection to Thssa''s


    grievances, which was the bitter taste of being unjustly cornered.


    Ethan replied professionally, "Susan''s a model working for our partner. She''s shooting amercial for


    ourtest smartphone line. Checking in on her is part of my job."


    "Then carry on," Zephyr said dismissively and turned to Lysander, "Let''s go, Lysander."


    Beyond a fleeting nce at Thssa and Ethan''s intertwined hands when he first entered the room,


    Zephyr hadn''t looked Thssa''s way again.


    He led the way out of the ward.


    Lysander''s dark eyes bore into Thssa. Since his arrival, she hadn''t uttered a word to him, nor had


    she offered any exnations. She even seemed to be avoiding his gaze.


    The atmosphere around Lysander grew so cold it seemed to seep into the very walls of the room.

    Even a single exnation would have eased his mind.


    But Thssa just remained silent. When Susan used her of harboring resentment for ruining a


    potentially good thing and seeking revenge, Thssa offered no rebuttal.


    Lysander felt a pang of disappointment. Not because he believed Susan''s words, but because of


    Thssa''s refusal to defend herself.


    She was still plotting to distance herself from him, to sever their tiespletely!


    "Aren''t youing?" Lysander broke the silence first, his voice a low, maic drawl.


    Under the pressure of his presence, Thssa''s gaze finally met his.


    Locking eyes with him, her resolve crumbled. No matter the grudges she held, his mere words could


    topple the defenses she had painstakingly erected.


    "Of course, I''ming. Who said I wasn''t?" Thssa shot back, her brief resistance giving way.


    Overhearing their exchange, Zephyr halted and turned back, eyeing Lysander sternly, "What''s the


    matter? Grandma''s not around and now you''re noting home?"


    Lysander nced sideways at Zephyr and said, "I’ll head back with you."


    With that, he strode off towards Zephyr.


    Thssa stood at the doorway of the ward, watching Lysander''s retreating figure.


    As he grew more distant, her heart felt as if it was being submerged by the sea, bringing a sour and


    aching pain.


    His attitude had made his choice clear. New chаpter av?ble on NovelDrama.Org


    It was a clear message to her. Lysander had a new woman in his life, and she was going to be the one


    to marry him.
