The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1395

"David, have you been hanging around Lysander so much that you've fallen under this woman's spell too?" Zephyr's voice held a note of disbelief as he turned his penetrating gaze towards his friend.

"Zephyr, I..." David started, but Zephyr cut him off with a sharp gesture.

"Save it, David. I don’t want to hear it."

His eyes then shifted to Thalassa with a look so fierce that it made her heart, already pounding with anxiety, skip a beat.

"I'm beat. Show the lady out now," Zephyr commanded wearily, rising from his seat and making his way upstairs, his body language dismissive and fatigued.

Thalassa couldn't bear the thought of missing her chance. With a burst of desperation, she followed him a few steps and called out, "Zephyr, please give me a chance to care for Lysander! I'll tend to him with all my heart. I believe he will wake up one day."

Zephyr froze mid-step, his breathing grew heavier with anger. He turned, his hawkish gaze piercing Thalassa once more, "If you really care about him, then stay away! He'll wake up on his own without you hovering over him!"

"But the doctor said he only has a five percent chance of waking up! And I've done my research, the best way to bring someone out of a coma is to constantly stimulate them with the presence and voices of those they care about, which includes touch! No one knows his needs better than I do. I just want to repay him for saving my life. Please, let me do this, Zephyr!" Thalassa pleaded with fervor, her eyes beseeching him.

Her words might have come across as brazen or shameless, and while they could easily be misunderstood, Thalassa was willing to face any misjudgment if it meant she could take care of Lysander.

"Have you no shame?" Zephyr's index finger trembled as he pointed at her, incredulous at her audacity to suggest such intimate care.

Joshua stood agape, equally shocked by Thalassa's bold statement.

David, however, wasn't as surprised. He knew Thalassa's cunning and calculating side all too well. She may have seemed fragile and demure, but when push came to shove, even he found himself outmaneuvered by her.

Just as Joshua was about to defend Thalassa, a heavy thud resounded through the room. Thalassa had dropped to her knees before Zephyr, stunning everyone present.

Zephyr's already formidable demeanor intensified with disdain.

Joshua was caught off guard. He moved to help her up, but it was too late. Thalassa had thrown away all concerns for her pride and knelt before Zephyr.

Even David was taken aback by this unexpected move.

Thalassa’s clear eyes filled with a do-or-die resolve, and she implored, "I'm begging you, let me take care of Lysander. I'll do everything in my power, devote myself completely. He risked his life to save me because he cares for me. Let someone he cares about be by his side. It could be the emotional tether he needs to pull him back to us."
