The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 945

Thalassa couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she gently pinched Elowen's chubby cheeks, "Mommy will be back soon, don't worry."

"Ms. Everhart, let me drive you," Fitch offered politely as he stepped forward.

"No need, you stay and look after the kids. The chauffeur can take me," Thalassa replied.

"The chauffeur took Lysander to the airport today; he's on a business trip," Fitch informed her.

Lysander was on a business trip?

Thalassa didn't know a thing about it. A self-mocking smile curled at the edge of her lips. She wasn't anyone of importance to Lysander; why would he inform her of his whereabouts?

What did it matter if he was on a trip? Was there a need to tell her?

She didn't even have the right to know.

"What about the children?" Thalassa was uneasy.

"There are plenty of staff in the house, so they'll be fine," Fitch assured her.

"Alright then," Thalassa conceded to Fitch's offer. If she had to make her own way, it would take a long time, and she had just started to regain some strength; her body was still weak and wouldn't hold up for long walks.

"Mommy, come back soon, we'll be waiting," a tender little voice called out.

Thalassa turned back and found the four little ones standing in a line at the entrance, their eyes filled with anticipation, gazing at her.

Seeing this, Thalassa felt a poignant blend of sorrow and compassion.

Back when she and Evelyn were taking care of the children, they never had such anxious looks in their eyes. Even if she had to be away for a couple of days, the children never showed such fear.

Living with Lysander, they had all the comforts and staff to look after them, yet they felt a profound lack of security.

Their fearful, anxious eyes nearly broke Thalassa's heart.

Today was Bruce's discharge day from the hospital.

After a scuffle with Lysander's bodyguards, Bruce had spent several days in recovery and was finally well enough to leave.

The nurse came over to remind him, "Bruce, you've had blood transfusions during your last couple of visits to our hospital. According to our policy, patients who've received transfusions need to have a family member come in to donate blood to ensure our blood bank remains stocked."

Bruce was puzzled, "Wasn’t the blood I received last time donated by Thalassa?"

He had lost a lot of blood previously when Evelyn had cracked his head open with a chair, and it was Thalassa who had brought him to the hospital.

"Thalassa? She's type B, and you're type O. How could she donate blood for you?" The nurse, who had been the same one to attend to Bruce and handle his transfusion, replied.

She remembered the details well, especially since the woman who claimed to be Bruce's daughter, Thalassa, had a different blood type.

"What did you say? Thalassa is type B?" Bruce exclaimed.
