Chapter 1379


    Isabe, bold as brass, swiped something right out in the open, spouting all kinds of nonsense. She really must have a death


    wish!


    She was just taking advantage of Thssa being on her own, without Lysander watching her back. Isabe thought she was.


    above everyone else, turning the truth on its head!


    How dare she im Thssa''s jade pearl was stolen from her? The nerve!


    Richard didn''t delve too deeply, but he believed Thssa through and through. The jade pearl was a legacy from Thssa''ste


    mother.


    Thssa had grown up without a father, raised single-handedly by Evelyn.


    And there was Isabe, with both parents alive and kicking, suddenly spouting some cock-and-bull story about her mother


    having an affair and giving birth to her out of wedlock. Such a tant fabrication.


    An hourter, the ER doors swung open. Richard approached the doctor and asked, "How is she?"


    "The patient is weak and went into shock from the stress. Some IV fluids should set her right," the doctor exined.


    Hearing that Thssa would be okay, Richard let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Doc."


    As Thssa was wheeled out, her blood-stained clothes had been reced with a hospital gown. Her frail bodyy on the bed,


    looking vulnerable and pale.


    Following the nurse to the ward, Richard sat beside the bed for ten minutes. He noticed Thssa''s eyelids fluttering — a sign she


    wasing to. Lowering his gaze, he watched her intently.


    Thssa''s consciousness slowly surfaced, and she opened her eyes to find a magnified, handsome face with clear, wide eyes


    staring back at her.


    Startled, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively shrank back, but upon recognizing Richard, her fear eased.


    "Mr. Richard, why are you staring at me like that?" she asked.


    Realizing he had frightened her, Richard sat up straight, chuckled, and said, "Sorry, | just couldn''t help watching you''re about to


    wake up. How are you feeling now?"


    Thssa''s tension eased a bit more. "I''m fine.”


    "Could you get in touch with David? See how Lysander is doing?" Thssa''s first thought upon waking was of Richard reaching


    out for news about Lysander.


    Richard was momentarily taken aback; then, a small smile yed at his lips. "I thought you''d be anxious to hear if we got the


    jade pearl back. But no, you don''t seem to care about them at all, just Lysander."


    There was a teasing note in Richard''s voice.

    Her eyshes fluttered down as she murmured to herself, "Right, he was so badly hurt. It hasn''t been that long. How could there

    He realized that making light of Thssa and Lysander''s situation, especially with Lysander''s fate hanging in the bnce, was


    truly inappropriate.


    "Thank you..." Thssa said softly.


    "What do you think about Isabe snatching the jade pearl?" Richard asked, curious about her feelings.


    He wanted to know if Thssa had any interest in acknowledging Joshua as her father. The moment she found out, she didn''t


    seem thrilled but rather frightened.
