Hertha had been so fixated on Thalassa, watching her every move to ensure she was safe. Once she saw Thalassa was indeed unharmed, a weight lifted off her chest, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now that things had calmed down, Hertha started to notice something different about Lysander. Lysander, who had been confined to a wheelchair for so long, was not only standing but also walking, guiding Thalassa along with him!
Had his legs really healed?
Seeing Hertha's wide-eyed, astonished expression, Thalassa understood her shock. With a comforting smile, Thalassa responded to Hertha's silent question: "Yes, Lysander's legs are better now; he can walk."
After saying this, Lysander took Thalassa and left the room, leaving Hertha in a state of shock and joy. She couldn't believe it. Lysander, who was once told he'd never stand again, was walking! This meant Thalassa's days ahead would be filled with even more happiness!
Hertha was genuinely happy for Thalassa. As she was pondering this joyous development, she realized Lysander and Thalassa were leaving and quickly followed after them, calling out, "Hey, wait up!"
The trio walked out of the mall, and Lysander opened the car door for Thalassa.
Thalassa, concerned for Hertha, looked back: "Hertha, come with us, we'll drop you off."
"No need, I drove here; I can drive back. You've had a scare today; go home and rest," Hertha waved off, reminding them she had driven Thalassa to the mall earlier that day. Besides, she felt like a third wheel around Thalassa and Lysander. Being around Lysander made her tense and uncomfortable. Driving back alone seemed more appealing.
"But..." Thalassa still looked worried.
"Don't worry about me. Callum's been arrested, and I'm pretty confident in my driving. I'll be fine," Hertha reassured her, cutting off any protests.
After a bit more persuasion, Thalassa agreed: "Alright then, just drive safely."
"I will, you guys head back," Hertha replied.
Lysander got into the car, and they drove off. Thalassa waved goodbye through the car window, unsure if Hertha could see her. As the car drove away, Hertha's figure disappeared from view.
Thalassa then turned to Lysander, his face stern yet exuding a calm and commanding presence – a testament to his unique character. She glanced at his legs again; his walking had seemed so natural earlier, yet she couldn't help but worry.
"I'll call Lydia to check on your legs," she said, reaching for her phone only to find her pocket empty. That's when she remembered. During the ordeal in the hotel room, Callum had taken her phone, turned it off, and put it in his pocket.
"My phone is still with Callum," she realized aloud.
Without hesitation, Lysander took out his phone and called Captain Payne, asking him to retrieve Thalassa's phone.
