Chapter 1761


    The moment he saw her furrow her brow, his previously stormy demeanor dimmed, and he let go of her hand, averted his gaze, and said in a gloomy voice, "You should go."


    Thssa''s eyes shook fiercely. What did he say? He was asking her to leave?


    "Lysander, I..."


    "Go! Don''t make me say it a third time!" Lysander, holding back his anger, spoke in a low, tense voice.


    That brief furrow of her brow had said it all.


    After all, how could she ept a man who was now partially paralyzed?


    Panic seized Thssa. Why was Lysander suddenly asking her to leave?


    She moved closer, embracing him, her cheek pressed against his chest, and she distinctly felt Lysander''s body stiffen for a moment.


    Thssa said urgently, "I won''t go. Even when you were in aa, I never despised you, so how could I despise you now for not being able to stand on your legs? I''ve said it, I like you, I love you, and I won''t leave you..."


    Thssa spoke both urgently and passionately.


    Lysander''s rigid body visibly rxed. He lifted her chin to meet her eyes, incredulously asking, "What did you say?"


    Thssa repeated her words: "I said, I will never leave you."


    "Can you let go of Leopold?" Lysander suddenly asked, his eyes piercing into hers, not missing any subtle expression.


    Thssa''s eyes flickered with curiosity at Lysander. "Why would you ask that?"


    Why bring up Leopold all of a sudden?


    "Weren''t you the one who told Callum that Leopold will always have a ce in your heart, irreceable by anyone?" Lysander''s index finger tilted her chin up a bit more, bringing her closer, forcing her to look into his eyes.


    Thssa was startled, suddenly realizing Lysander had overheard her conversation with Callum!Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Callum had visited her home,


    intending tomission a design


    from her, and had unexpectedly


    confessed his feelings. To reject et


    Callum and make him give up, she had told him that no one could take Leopold''s ce in her heart, not even Lysander.


    At the time, she thought she heard something at the door, but when she looked back, she saw nothing.


    So, it had been Lysander who hade and, after hearing her words, left.


    Thssa quickly exined, "That was just a reason to reject Callum. You took it seriously?"


    "Was it really just to reject him?" Lysander''s eyes fixed on her, sharp and serious.


    Thssa nodded, "Of course."


    Suddenly, something urred to her. She grabbed Lysander''s hand that was lifting her chin, and with wide, luminescent eyes, she asked him, "After hearing what I said, did you purposely get engaged to Rosalind, marry her, to get back at me?"


    Lysander gave her a leisurely nce, "I''m not that petty."


    "Then why did you suddenly ept being with Rosalind?" Thssa pressed.


    Lysander had always been resisting


    Zephyr''s attempts to arrange a


    marriage for him, always refusing to be with Rosalind. But the day after he overheard her conversation with Callum, the media exploded with news of his engagement to Rosalind.


    Could it not be a ploy to upset her in retaliation?
