Lysander himself said he was not a fan of kids, thinking them too loud and annoying.
If he knew sheâd already had four of his kids, she couldnât even begin to picture his reaction.
Plus, Lysander was a big shot, steering the ship of a wealthy family, and he was the kingpin of Starhav en.
Would he ever be into someone as plain as her?
She still didnât quite get what Lysander meant by âtaking responsibilityâ.
Was he going to marry her or compensate her in some other way? If itâs just compensation, she wouldn ât want it!
Sheâd rather act like theyâd never met and go their separate ways.
But if he wanted to marry her, she could consider letting him gradually warm up to their four kids.
After all, theyâre his kids too.
Even wild beasts donât harm their own young.
âWhat about that emerald pendant? Show it to me, what kind of emerald pendant is worth the cops com ing to get you?â Evelyn said, fuming.
Just because of an emerald pendant, her daughter lost three hundred dollars and got arrested! Itâs outr ageous!
She was going to take that pendant and confront Greta, make her pay back the three hundred dollars!
Thalassa said, âThe emerald pendant was confiscated by the cops. Itâs been returned to its original own er. Mom, letâs drop it, donât make a fuss.â
She went home, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it hurriedly.
She hadnât had a sip of water since morning.
Seeing Thalassa drink water so hastily, Evelyn knew she hadnât eaten yet. She felt both sympathy and anger, âIâll cook for you. Nice guys finish last! Without a man in the house, weâre easy prey. Iâm going to teach Greta a lesson!â
Evelyn grumbled as she walked into the kitchen.
But Thalassa was thinking about making Isabella pay!
Isabella had crossed the line!
In the hospital.
Lysander arrived at the ward.
Zephyr was by the bed taking care of Sybil.
Zephyr, in a teal suit, with saltâandâpepper hair, was still in pretty good shape despite his age. Tall and imposing, his eyes were steady. His face might have had wrinkles, but he still had an air of authority.
He was standing by the bed, tidying up Sybilâs blanket.
Sybil was halfâlying on the bed, with an IV drip in her hand.
Compared to Zephyr, Sybilâs hair was completely white, her arms were saggy, and wrinkles were plenty. But her eyes were still bright, showing that she must have been a real beauty when she was young.
Not far from the bed stood a young woman dressed to the nines, all branded, looking pretty.
âLysander, youâre here,â the woman turned around and saw Lysander, quickly rushing over to greet him.
Lysander ignored her, walked straight to the bed, and asked with concern, âGranny, howâre you doing?â
