Chapter 1658


    Thssa and Lysander''s tangled love story began three years ago, and to this day, it remained


    unresolved, leaving her heart bruised and battered.


    Countless nights saw Thssa sobbing into her pillow, nursing her wounds alone in the darkness of


    her room. With each breakdown, she found a way to heal, only to crumble all over again, each cycle


    leaving her heart more exhausted than before. This time, she nearly lost herself entirely after


    drowning her sorrows in too much wine, saved only by a twist of fate.


    In that moment of liberation, Thssa found a sudden peace within her heart. Lysander was


    marrying Rosalind. Let him. She realized there was no need to mourn a love that was never hers to


    keep. Calmness became her new creed. Why torment herself over something beyond her control?


    Hertha had her own epiphany. She admitted she had been too blinded by love, or rather, infatuation


    with ric''s charm. She had thrown caution to the wind, resulting in two beautiful children she didn''t


    regret. But now, knowing that ric and Georgia were meant to be, Hertha understood that dwelling


    on ric''s sweet nothings was just self-torment. When she faced danger, it was her own strength


    that saved her. Hertha embraced the lesson that a woman must never depend on anyone but


    herself for her salvation.


    "Nn, you''re done! Come with us to the station!" The police officers dragged the burly man out of


    the motel room. As he was led away, the burly man shot a menacing nce back at Thssa and


    Hertha, his eyes filled with unfulfilled malice and a hint of a threat, as if to say, "I''ll be back for you."


    He regretted letting Hertha escape. He had thought the isted location would ensure his deeds


    remained undiscovered until it was toote. But luck was on Hertha''s side when she stumbled upon


    a police patrol that stormed the room just in time. The burly man''s overconfidence in his knowledge


    of the area was his downfall. He had underestimated Hertha''s luck.


    The threatening look from the burly man made Thssa and Hertha''s hearts skip a beat, fear


    momentarily gripping them. But then he was gone, taken away by thew. Leaning on each other


    for support, Thssa and Hertha left the motel behind and returned to Star Harbor Vi.


    Thssa found some clothes for Hertha, suggesting, "Take a hot shower, rx."

    "And you? You should shower too," Hertha responded with concern.


    "I''ll use the other bathroom," Thssa said.


    After washing away the scent of alcohol and the grime of a long night, they felt their tension ebb


    away. Exhausted, they shared a bed, drawing courage from each other''s presence, hoping the


    nightmares would stay away. They slept till noon, a deep, dreamless sleep that left them both


    feeling refreshed.


    The moment Thssa opened her eyes to the sunlight filtering through the curtains, she shielded


    her eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of relief wash over her. A smile yed on her lips as she


    realized that some burdens, once let go, lose their power to hurt.
