Chapter 1512


    Thssa felt her breath tighten as David wheeled Lysander towards their group. Her body tensed,


    and a sharp, yet subtle, pain ignited deep within her heart.


    Seeing Lysander brought back the harrowing memory of being held at gunpoint by Susan just two


    days prior. Lysander''s eyes were merciless, his handsome face cold as ice as he coldly urged


    Susan to end Thssa''s life. Only with her gone could the rift in Rosalind''s heart be healed,


    allowing he and Rosalind to be together without reservations.


    It was then Thssa realized that, in Lysander''s eyes, her existence was nothing but a barrier to his


    and Rosalind''s happily ever after.


    The dull ache in her heart had somewhat eased over the past two days, but seeing Lysander now,


    that suffocating, intricate pain resurfaced with a vengeance.


    Thssa only managed a fleeting nce at Lysander before averting her gaze, her eyes falling to


    the tabletop.


    "Lysander, here you are!" Ethan eximed with genuine warmth as he approached.


    Lysander was a close friend, and they had spent countless nights out at the Sapphire Skyline. With


    Lysander having been in aa for the past three years and Ethan focusing on his career, it had


    been ages since the Starhaven quartet had gathered like this.


    The sight of a now lucid Lysander filled Ethan with the joy of reuniting with an old friend.


    ric quickly joined Ethan''s side as well.


    Originally, Ethan had intended to take over wheeling Lysander from David, but ric beat him to it,


    effortlessly dismissing David and taking charge of Lysander''s wheelchair himself.


    "Lysander, it''s been three years, but you''re finally back among us. Dr. Funke''s medical skills are


    truly exceptional. It''s no wonder Thssa agreed to all his unusual demands just to have him treat


    you," ric said, his voice filled with emotion.


    At ric''s words, a frown marred Lysander''s brow, and he turned a sharp, prating gaze on


    ric.


    "What did you say?" he asked.


    ric momentarily faltered under the intensity of Lysander''s stare, worrying he had misspoken.


    "Ah, sorry, I won''t mention your illness in public anymore," ric quickly apologized, thinking


    Lysander was concerned about his reputation being affected by the admission of his three-year


    incapacitation.


    "It''s not that. Who did you say brought in Dr. Funke?" Lysander asked, his tone serious and


    imposing, not missing a beat.


    Hearing Lysander''s question, Thssa''s heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at ric with


    worry in her eyes.


    ric chuckled, "It was Thssa of course. She agreed to help Dr. Funke secure a highly capable


    apprentice and even promised to find him a date on a dating site in exchange for his services. You


    have no idea that Dr. Funke is quite the entric. Money alone won''t persuade him to treat


    someone; it''s all about ying by his rules and the elusive factor of fate."


    So, it was Thssa who had arranged for his treatment, not as his grandfather had told him—that

    Lysander''s attention was solely on ric''s initial revtion; the rest of the conversation barely


    registered. His deep gaze found Thssa, who had been watching the scene unfold with surprise.


    Their eyes met, and the intensity in his stare felt like a direct assault on her heart.


    Thssa''s heart fluttered, and she quickly lowered her gaze, picking up her water ss to sip and


    mask her difort.


    "Lysander, what brings you to the equestrian center today?" ric asked as he wheeled Lysander


    toward the rest area.


    David, following closely, chimed in, "I had a meeting with Donovan about some jewelry design


    purchases. Mr. Sinir is preparing to return to the Sinir Group and came to oversee my


    dealings."
