The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1830

Thalassa locked eyes with Lysander, his deep gaze holding a world of unspoken words. In that moment, she realized what he was hinting at—he was testing if his injury truly mattered to her.

Had her reaction led him to misunderstand?

Lydia, who had been rummaging through a first aid kit for some needles, froze upon hearing Lysander's words, sensing an impending storm between Thalassa and Lysander. Panic fluttered in her heart.

Turning around, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Sinclair, actually…”

“Disappointed? Never.” Before Lydia could finish, Thalassa caught on, responding to Lysander with seriousness and candor.

When Lysander had voiced his concern, Thalassa was initially taken aback, not expecting such a direct question.

But as she grasped the true meaning behind his words, her heart sank.

Under Lysander’s intense gaze, she found her answer.

In that moment, the world around them faded away, their eyes only for each other.

Thalassa spoke her truth, “No matter what, I’ll stand by you. You'll always be the most important person to me. My worry was never about your injury itself, but the fear you might lose hope.”

Her words were from the heart, her urgency in asking Lydia about Lysander’s leg, and the disappointment upon hearing an uncertain prognosis, stemmed not from disdain but from deep concern for Lysander.

To truly care for someone is to prioritize their feelings above all.

Lydia, caught off-guard by Thalassa's heartfelt declaration, stood with her mouth agape, her eyes darting around, seeking refuge.

Goodness, she felt like a third wheel, an intruder on Thalassa and Lysander’s intimate moment.
