The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 486

"Mom, what happened to your face?" Atticus was the first to notice the bandage on Thalassa's cheek.

The bandage was small, and no one had noticed the wound on Thalassa's face in their early excitement.

Atticus was half sprawled on Thalassa, his little face burrowed into her chest. When he looked up, he saw the white bandage on her face – the unmistakable sign of an injury.

As soon as Atticus voiced his concern, the other little ones also looked up; their eyes were drawn to Thalassa's cheek.

"Does it hurt, mom? I can blow on it for you." Sophia scrambled up from Thalassa's lap, puckered her lips, and gently blew air towards Thalassa's bandaged face.

Her soft and tender gesture was both heartwarming and endearing.

"Did someone hurt you, mom?" Dorian's eyes welled up with tears at the thought of his mom being hurt.

"Mom, um…" Elowen, who was just snuggling up moments ago, now looked at Thalassa with a pained expression.

"It's okay, it's just a minor scratch. I'm not in pain, my little darlings. Don't worry." Thalassa sat up and comforted her little ones.

With the love and concern from her children, Thalassa felt an overwhelming sense of happiness; it washed away all her pain and discomfort.

She had fought to have her children stay by her side regardless of her difficulties. Whenever she missed them, she knew she could see them anytime.

Life couldn't get any more perfect than this.

Perhaps this was why she insisted on keeping the kids hidden from Lysander.

Evelyn, who was just grumbling about Thalassa's absence, instantly became concerned when she saw the wound. With a frown, she asked, "What happened? Was it because of that man again?"

"No, mom, I was just being careless. Don't worry, it'll heal in a few days," Thalassa reassured her and looked unconcerned about her facial wound.
