Thalassa felt her world spinning as she hit the ground, but she wasn't in pain. A strong hand had cushioned her head, sparing her from the impact of the concrete.
Her body rolled a few times in the man's embrace before coming to a stop.
The chaotic scene left Thalassa disoriented.
"Thalassa, are you okay?" A lean, muscular arm scooped her waist, lifting her from the ground. The deep baritone voice couldn't hide the underlying anxiety.
Lifting her head, Thalassa met the tense face of Lysander and his eyes, which were focused on her so intensely.
She swallowed a lump of fear, whispering, "I'm okay."
Lysander's tight gaze relaxed slightly as his deep eyes instantly filled with anger. He growled, "What were you doing standing in the middle of the road? Have you lost your mind?"
Thalassa flinched at his roar. His intense anger was terrifying and making her heart throb.
She steadied herself on the ground, gently pushing away the hand circling her waist and avoiding his intense gaze. "There was no crosswalk..." she began.
"And you knew there was no crosswalk! Why did you cross there?" Lysander's voice was harsh, his eyes filled with rage.
Had he not checked her location and rushed over, she would've been hit by a truck and turned into dust!
Thinking about it made Lysander shudder, his anger uncontrollable.
Thalassa listened to Lysander's reprimand, her body cold and pale. She clenched her hands at her sides, and after a while, she turned back to him with teary eyes, "I've seen the accident clarification news released by the Sinclair group! You've known about the cause of the accident due to the phone's quality issues, why are you only addressing it now?"
After she finished, she looked at him with a mix of hope and anxiety. She hoped things weren't as they seemed.
She hoped Leopold's death wasn't his fault.
