The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1743

In the sterile white of the hospital room, the air was pierced by heart-wrenching cries, "My baby, oh please, nothing must happen to you!"

"Amelia, let go of the child. The doctors are here; you need to let them see him," a man's voice, thick with urgency, broke through the chaos.

Hearing this desperate exchange, Thalassa felt a heavy drop in her heart.

Amelia? That voice... it belonged to Amelia's husband, Payton, also known to many as Leopold's father!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Thalassa's nerves tensed, and she hurried towards the room.

Hertha, sensing the urgency, supported Thalassa, accompanying her to the room.

Alaric, not far behind, left their luggage aside and followed.

As Thalassa entered, she saw Amelia clutching a baby to her chest, sobbing uncontrollably, "My dear Derek, what's wrong? Open your eyes and look at mommy. I've already lost your brother; I can't lose you too."

While crying, Amelia gently rubbed her cheek against the baby's, who lay motionless in her arms, silent.

Payton, crouched by Amelia's side, reached out in an attempt to take the child, his face twisted in desperation, "Amelia, it's been three years since we lost Leopold. You need to let go. This is our youngest, Derek. He's in danger of suffocating. You're holding him too tight; he could die. Please, hand him to me so the doctors can treat him. Only they can save our son now."

"No, I can’t," Amelia protested, her grip tightening around the baby, as if fearing that loosening her hold would result in her child's death.
