The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1400

Her gaze lingered on Joshua's face for a second before shifting to David, silently seeking his consent.

David was the representative of Zephyr, and if she wanted some alone time with Lysander, it was imperative to have David's permission.

When Thalassa met his eyes, David's brow furrowed slightly. Zephyr had spoken that they would agree to Thalassa taking care of Lysander only if she was under surveillance 24/7.

It was risky for her to be alone with Lysander now, especially in his hospital ward. After all, Lysander was at his most vulnerable period of recovery. A minor mishap could be fatal.

Thalassa noticed David's hesitation and realized she was asking too much. With a hint of regret, she said, "Never mind, it was too much to ask for. I'm sorry."

Her apology stemmed from an awareness that her request had put David in a tough spot.

"Mr. Sinclair’s external injuries haven't healed yet, and I need to stay close by, just in case we need to call a doctor immediately," David explained why they couldn't leave.

Thalassa nodded in understanding. "I get it, I wasn't thinking it through, my apologies. I'll just... keep him company for a little longer."

Her gaze drifted back to Lysander. He had remained motionless, not even a twitch of his fingers. Their conversation seemed not to impact him at all.

Normally, his eyes would've snapped open by now. As a former soldier, years of training had sharpened his senses to wake at the slightest disturbance, even in sleep.

But now, he seemed untethered from the world around him.

Watching Lysander's serene face, Thalassa's heart grew heavier.
