Thalassa snapped back to reality, and her gaze shifted to her mother.
Her mother had been in jail for two days, but it felt like two years had passed.
Her hair turned noticeably silver, and her face showed new lines of age. Most importantly, her once vibrant, energetic spirit, which was always surrounded by joy and laughter, had faded away.
It was as if someone had sucked all the life out of her, leaving her listless and lifeless.
A sharp surge of pain shot through Thalassa's heart. The joy that the children brought was not just for her; it was for their entire family.
Their house used to be filled with the cheerful noise of four children, especially Elowen, the liveliest one.
Suddenly, all four children were no longer living at home. The silence and solitude had doubled, which must've been devastating for Evelyn, who loved the hustle and bustle of family life.
Thalassa, too, was heartbroken.
Even though Evelyn had been proven innocent and had been released, Thalassa was unsure whether Lysander would allow them to see the children.
That day at the Sinclair residence, Lysander had ruthlessly told her to leave, stating that she didn't deserve any of their children.
Did this mean she wasn't allowed to see the children anymore?
Thalassa didn't have the courage to ask him.
Angering him had severe consequences. She learned that lesson well today.
"Mom, you should rest for a few days. We'll see if we can visit the kids on Saturday." Thalassa tried to comfort her saddened mother.
Evelyn nodded in response.
The next day, Thalassa went to work as usual.
Ethan was leading a meeting when he suddenly announced his departure.
"Thalassa, come with me."
Ethan took Thalassa from the conference room to his office. His expression was stern as he said, "I have to attend Sybil's funeral, and I need someone to accompany me. If you're willing to come, I'll take you. If not, I'll take Betty."
