The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1748

Hertha's expression was one of shock and confusion as she looked from Lydia to Thalassa, eagerly awaiting their reactions. She had a hunch that Lysander's decision to marry Rosalind was driven by a significant reason.

Catching Hertha's glance, Lydia too turned her anticipation towards Thalassa, knowing that her reaction would be most telling in this situation.

Thalassa, visibly shaken, her breathing heavy with emotion, locked eyes with Lydia. "Is everything you just said true?" she managed to choke out, her voice strained as if each word was a struggle.

Lydia nodded softly, "Yes, it's all true. Remember, you were there during Lysander's first treatment session. When he showed signs of pain, Dr. Funke considered it a positive sign. After several acupuncture sessions and thorough examinations, Dr. Funke concluded that Lysander was experiencing phantom limb sensations."

"And you're saying when he realized he might be permanently disabled, he smashed a glass? How long did it take for him to calm down?" Thalassa's eyes brimmed with tears as she asked, her heart aching at the thought of Lysander's turmoil.

She couldn't imagine the magnitude of the blow to Lysander, a man who had always been on top of the world, suddenly facing a life-altering reality. It was devastating enough for him to fall from grace, but accepting a future with permanent disability was even more heart-wrenching.

"It took about five minutes for him to regain his composure. He made me promise not to tell you," Lydia replied, understanding the gravity of her revelation. "But now, with him marrying someone else, I couldn't keep it from you any longer. You and Lysander shouldn't miss out on a chance at happiness because of this."
