The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1394

As Zephyr turned to leave, Thalassa's heart raced, a mix of panic and desperation seizing her. She started to rise, intent on pleading for him to stay, but Joshua beat her to it, standing with an air of resolve.

With his eyes fixed on Zephyr's retreating form, Joshua said, "Thalassa gave birth to quadruplets for Lysander, a miracle in its own right. If she can perform miracles like that, I believe she can make another one happen by taking care of Lysander."

His words were no longer veiled implications of Thalassa's intent but an explicit declaration of why they had come to visit Zephyr together.

Zephyr's already fragile nerves jolted at the statement. He stopped in his tracks and spun around, his eyes clouded with anger. "Do you have any idea what she's done before?" he spat at Joshua. "She once took a prop and smashed it over Lysander's head. If it weren't for someone stepping in to take the blow, Lysander would have been left in a vegetative state from that moment!"

As Zephyr spoke, his breathing grew erratic, his fury mounting with every word.

"You know what? When she failed that time, she used some trick to lure Lysander to Hollowbrook, and he ended up hit by a collapsing wall, which left him in the state he's in now! It’s all her doing! And you're telling me to let her take care of Lysander? It's like you're sending him off on his last journey!" His voice broke into a fit of uncontrollable coughing.

"Zephyr!" Joshua stepped forward, concern furrowed on his brow.

But before Joshua could reach him, David rushed in from outside. He reached Zephyr first, gently patting his back in a calming gesture. "Zephyr, please calm down. I've looked into that prop incident at Lysander’s request. From behind that screen, it’s impossible to see anything clearly. Even if there was a hole in it, the angle from the rigging wouldn't allow anyone to see through. The investigation already proved that it was an accident on Ms. Everhart’s part, not intentional."
