The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1297

Thalassa gripped Ethan's hand, urgency etched across her face as she attempted to rush him out of the ward to tend to the burn on his back.

Just as they reached the threshold, a formidable presence loomed over them.

She nearly collided with the figure stepping through the door. Halting abruptly, Thalassa lifted her gaze and met the piercing eyes of Zephyr.

Dressed in a button-up with short sleeves, his attire was traditional with a serious edge. Despite his years, an aura of authority seemed to radiate from him.

His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, giving Thalassa a cursory glance before settling on her hand intertwined with Ethan's.

His gaze darkened and turned icy.

Feeling her heart sink under that intense stare, Thalassa hadn't even processed her discomfort when another man showed up. Tall and foreboding, he wore a crisp black shirt, exuding an air of nobility and depth.

It was Lysander!

The sight of him immediately made Thalassa's tense. She realized she was still holding Ethan's hand and quickly let go as if it were a hot potato.

She averted her gaze to the wall, unable to meet the eyes of either Zephyr or Lysander.

Ethan was the first to speak up, “Susan's family just had an accident with some boiled water that spilled on me. Thalassa just wanted to get me to a doctor.”

Perhaps Zephyr's intent was indecipherable to them, but Lysander's icy, oppressive gaze was not lost on Ethan.

Lysander had never truly cared for any woman other than Thalassa. His possessiveness over Thalassa was so intense it bordered on the extreme.
