Before Thalassa could say a word, Hertha swiftly changed the subject, circling back to the topic that had almost caused her to rear-end the car in front of her.
"You just said the kids' dad is Lysander?" Her wide eyes were filled with shock, glued to Thalassa, afraid to miss any subtle change in her expression.
In contrast to her excitement, Thalassa simply nodded, "Yep."
"Holy cow, am I dreaming or what?" Hertha was beside herself, like she had just won the lottery. "Thalassa, pinch me, see if I feel it."
The kids' dad was Lysander, with whom they were just discussing how he passed away. If Lysander knew, he would have flipped his lid.
Seeing her reaction, Thalassa chuckled, "You're reacting just like me when I first heard."
"Well, duh! That's Lysander we're talking about! King of power, helmsman of a wealthy family, the man every woman dreams of but can't touch. Look at you! Not only did you have his kid, you had four!"
Hertha held up four fingers in a mix of awe and shock.
The traffic light had turned green, and cars had already moved along, but Hertha's car was still parked there as she excitedly chatted away with Thalassa.
Cars behind had grown impatient, honking their horns.
Thalassa urged her to start driving.
Only then did Hertha snap back to reality and drove away.
Once they reached a safe spot, Hertha simply pulled over, continuing her chat with Thalassa and wanting to know all the details.
Thalassa was also feeling down. She told Hertha everything about her encounter and recognition with Lysander five years ago and five years later.
She also talked about Lysander's dislike for children and Zephyr's disdain for her, saying she was not good enough for Lysander and even accusing her of selling her body for status.
"Oh my god, if Lysander knew about your four kids, the Sinclair family would surely kick you out and take the kids. Then you'd lose both the man and the kids." Hertha analyzed, drawing her conclusion.
That was also Thalassa's worry.
