Chapter 1516


    Although Lysander and Rosalind had secretly agreed to marry, which was brokered by their


    families, Thssa knew her story with Lysander was over. She had no intention of imagining a


    future with him as well.


    The day he stood there and let Susan kill her to ease Rosalind''s insecurities and remove the thorn


    from Rosalind''s side, was the day Thssa''s heart was deeply wounded. Her hopes in Lysander


    crumbled into utter disappointment.


    But realizing the truth didn''t mean she was open to misinterpretations. She didn''t want to drag


    Callum into this mess. Callum could''ve met and fallen in love with someone else.


    She feared the rumors linking she and Callum might tarnish his reputation and deter women who


    admired Callum from approaching him.


    So, she had to make it clear that her and Callum were nothing but acquaintances.


    Lysander''s gaze darkened, fixed intently on Thssa.


    Feeling his grip on her chin loosen, she held her breath and continued, "Callum and I haven''t seen


    each other for three years. Thest time you saw me with Callum and Reginald at the diner, was


    our first meeting in these three years to discuss this time’s jewelry design project."


    Lysander''s brows furrowed, "Then what have you been doing these three years?"


    Learning he was in aa, she avoided him like the gue. Then why did she go through all the


    trouble to find Dr. Funke to treat him?


    Thssa tensed, her breathing quickened under Lysander''s deep-set gaze.


    Was he unaware that she had been caring for him for three years?


    Wasn''t she the one he had ordered to be kicked out of Royal Estates the moment he woke up?


    Knowing to pack her bags but clueless about her constant presence by his side these years?


    "During the three years, I''ve been..." Her words were cut off by the ringtone from Lysander''s phone.


    "Go ahead, answer it," Thssa suggested.


    She pushed herself up from the wheelchair''s armrests, careful not to lean all her weight on


    Lysander.


    As she spoke, she freed her chin from Lysander''s grasp, propped up her body, and stood up.


    Lysander didn''t stop her, his deep gaze following her every move, his breathing heavy. He had


    assumed she and Callum had been together these past years as lovers.


    He just learned that there was nothing between them. So, what had she been up to all this time?


    Realizing Thssa and Callum had nothing between them, Lysander felt an uncontroble surge of


    emotion, his breathing roughened.

    The kiss she left on his lips suddenly felt warmer.


    "The phone''s about to stop ringing. Aren''t you going to answer it?" Thssa stood in front of


    Lysander. Noting his deep gaze fixed on her and hisck of intention to pick up the call, she urged


    him on.


    Lysander''s gaze softened, and he slowly pulled out his phone from his pocket.


    Thssa identally caught a glimpse of Rosalind''s name on his screen.


    It was Rosalind calling!


    Seeing that name, Thssa felt a sharp pain in her heart as if nicked by a de.


    The pain made her grip tighten momentarily before she stepped away, leaving Lysander to his


    fiancée.


    Lysander nced at Thssa''s retreating figure but didn''t stop her. He swiped to answer, his voice


    neutral, "What''s up?"


    "Lysander, I''m at Royal Estates. Why can''t I find you?" came Rosalind''s anxious voice.


    Since Lysander woke up, Rosalind had been visiting Royal Estates daily to share meals with him—


    lunch and dinner without miss.


    Now, at lunchtime, Lysander wasn''t home.


    For over a month, aside from the asional outing arranged by Rosalind, Lysander had always


    been at home.
