Chapter 1618


    Fitch, trembling under Lysander''s intimidating gaze, hurried forward to report, "Lysander, I honestly don''t know, I''ve never dealt with this before. But Ms. Everhart, she really cares about you. She just wants to see you back on your feet as soon as possible..."


    Thssa, shocked, chimed in, "I was right there when Dr. Funke got the call. Someone''s offered to pay for your treatment. I asked Dr. Funke what was needed..."


    Realizing she might have said too much, she abruptly stopped.


    But it was already toote. Lysander''s prating gaze turned towards her, making Thssa''s breath catch.


    Once words are out, you can''t take them back.


    Lysander looked at Thssa, her cautious demeanor causing him a pang of heartache.


    He had avoided joining Thssa for the visit to Dr. Funke''s clinic, fearing Dr. Funke might take advantage of her willingness to help.


    He didn''t want to put Thssa in a difficult position.


    But it seems he had anyway.


    "What did he ask for?" Lysander''s voice was low and tinged with care, a stark contrast to the difort he felt at the thought of Thssa being put in a tough spot.


    Standing to the side, Rosalind could clearly sense the gentle and tender concern Lysander had for Thssa, something she had never witnessed before.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Her heart filled with envy, difort, and frustration.


    She had always known Lysander to be cold and distant, a man who seemed incapable of warmth.


    But, as it turned out, it wasn''t that he couldn''t show warmth; he just wouldn''t show it to her.


    To Thssa, he was as warm as a hot summer day, but to her, he was as cold as the midwinter ice. Feeling defeated and helpless, Rosalind could only watch.


    Thssa, Sensing Lysander''s imposing demeanor, quickly said "He didn''t ask for anything special. My aunt just mentioned it, and he agreed to send his assistant over to check on you."


    Thssa was being deliberately vague, not wanting to embarrass Lysander orplicate his rtionship with Dr. Funke any further.


    To satisfy Dr. Funke''s request, Thssa had even introduced her own aunt to Dr. Funke, making her his new girlfriend.


    Now that Astrid was officially with Dr. Funke, Thssa had some influence.


    Her request for Dr. Funke to send someone for a consultation was perfectly reasonable.


    Lysander trusted Thssa''s words, appreciating her good intentions and not wanting to let her down.


    He said to Lydia, "Don''t just stand there, let''s get this check-up started."


    Lysander was ready to cooperate.


    Lydia, snapping back to reality, felt awkward and nervous, clutching the strap of her medical bag tighter Facing Lysander, her nervousness escted, making her heartbeat race.


    Normally, she was confident and skilled in her practice, able to diagnose and treat with ease.


    But now, confronted with Lysander, her mind was a mess, and she didn''t know where to start.


    Hesitating, she said with a shaky breath, "I... I think I need to use the restroom first..."


    "I''ll show you where it is," Thssa quickly offered.


    Once they reached the restroom and the door or was closed behind them


    Qssa turned to Lydia, concern


    etched on her face. "What''s going on? You''re sweating bullets."
