The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592 

Thalassa’s heart clenched as she saw him approaching her bedside. It was a primal fear, one that her body seemed to react to instinctively. 

Lysander came forward, his large hand gently taking Elowen’s tiny one from her 

Elowen turned to look at him, her round face tilting upward, her bright eyes filled with curiosity. 

“Could you guys step out for a bit? Let your mom rest,” Lysander suggested. 

“What’s wrong with Mom? Is she sick?” Dorian asked, his youthful eyes filled with concern, staring at Thalassa. 

He had noticed earlier that his mother’s voice had been quite hoarse. 

“Mom, if you’re sick, we can go to the hospital. You can take a shot. It won’t hurt. Sophia will blow on it and make the pain fly away,” Sophia said, her tiny face looking anxious. 

The person that mattered most to this little girl was undoubtedly her mother. 

Whenever she had to get shots in the past, her mother had always comforted her in that way. 

“Mom’s fine. I’m just a little tired. I’ll be okay after some rest,” Thalassa said. 

Surrounded by her children’s concern, she felt a mixture of heartache, bitterness, and gratification. 

“Then rest, Mom. We’ll have Dad play with us,” Elowen said, her chubby face turning towards Lysander, her bright eyes filled with anticipation. “Dad, will you play with us, please?” 

Thalassa’s brow furrowed slightly, apprehensive as she looked at Lysander, fearing he was going to reject the children. 

Their eyes were filled with such anticipation, and if they were to be disappointed, Thalassa’s heart would have undoubtedly ached. 

If she were able to stand up, she would have definitely played with the children and joined them in their games. 

But her legs were so weak, so devoid of strength, that even if she tried to force herself, she wouldn’t have been able to keep herself upright. The moment she tried to stand, her legs would have started to tremble. 

Just as Thalassa was feeling torn and apprehensive, Lysander’s deep voice broke the silence, “Sure.” 

“Hooray!” Elowen cried excitedly, jumping up and down. 

The other three little munchkins also seemed to brighten up, their eyes shining with joy. 

Thalassa felt the tension leave her shoulders. 

“Dad, let’s go play hide-and-seek outside so we don’t disturb Mom while she rests,” Elowen said, clutching Lysander’s hand and guiding him towards the door with her feeble strength. 

Lysander stretched his long legs to keep up with her. 

“Mom, you rest. We’re going to play now,” Dorian said, bidding Thalassa farewell before heading out. 

Atticus and Sophia remained in the room. 

Atticus’ cute face was severe. His baby brows furrowed in worry as he looked at Thalassa. 

Sophia stood timidly by the bed, and her eyes filled with concern. 

Seeing their worried expressions, Thalassa gave a gentle smile. “Mom’s fine, don’t worry. Go out and play. Dad’s joining you for hide-and-seek. Atticus, didn’t you always want a dad?” 

Thalassa could hardly imagine what it would have looked like that Lysander playing hide-and-seek with the children. 

He was usually so cold and reserved, hardly one for smiles or laughter. That severe man playing such a childish game, would he have come off as stiff? 

Or was he going to let loose and have a great time with the kids? 

If only she could stand up, she would have loved to see Lysander playing hide-and-seek with the children. 

It would certainly be a sight to see. 

Atticus blinked, clearly torn between wanting to play with his father and worrying about his mother. 

Thalassa, their mother, understood them best. Her smile was warm and full of maternal love as she said, “Atticus, take Sophia and go play outside. Mom’s just going to take a nap, and then I’ll come to join you.”
