After a second thought, Thalassa reckoned Lysander probably didnât see it.
Otherwise, Lysander wouldâve gone straight to Atticus and Dorian, getting them to call their folks right a way.
He wouldnât have waited until evening to have David call Hertha.
It mustâve been David who checked the CCTV and came to the conclusion.
Phew, what a false alarm!
âItâs okay, mommyâs not mad at you guys, you just didnât notice. But remember to be careful when playi ng games, donât just run across the road, and definitely donât carry sharp objects. You got it?â Thalassa gently told them off.
Atticus gave a nod, showing he got the message.
Dorian also nodded seriously âMommy, I promise I wonât run across the road anymore.â
âGood boyâ Thalassa softly praised him, patting his head.
Just then, Evelyn came out of the kitchen with a tray of food and put it in front of Hertha: âHertha, breakfast.â
âThanks, Evelyn.â Hertha didnât refuse. She came over first thing in the morning and hadnât had breakfa st yet.
Last night, she figured Thalassa and the kids mustâve been in bed already, so she didnât ring Thalassa, not wanting to disturb her Thalassa thought Evelyn would ask about the tireâ
slashing incident, but to her surprise, Evelyn quietly ate her breakfast, not saying a word.
Curious Evelyn was always asking questions about anything she heard, why was she suddenly so quie r That was really strange.
However, Thalassa didnât think much of it. Perhaps Evelyn didnât hear their conversation since she was in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Hertha offered to drive Thalassa to work because she drove here Thalassa accepted, and they left together.
In the car, Hertha was driving and chatting with Thalassa âDavid asked me yesterday how the kids father died I said he jumped into the sea, but he said he jump ed off a building What did we say before? Hertha was still puzzled She really couldnât remember what she had said.
Thalassa chuckled and shook her head. âI canât recall ent âReally? So is the childrenâs father alive or dead? Who is he?â Hertha was really curious about which m an had such strong fertility that he made Thalassa pregnant with quadruplets Thalassa didnât hide anything from Hertha and said. âItâs Lysanderâ
âOh, itâs Lysander.â Hertha responded calmly at first, then suddenly gasped in surprise and shouted, âW hat?â
She was so excited that she turned her head to look at Thalassa without paying attention to the road.
âCar, weâre about to rear end, brake Thalassa screamed Hertha immediately hit the brakes.
The car came to a sudden stop, and their bodies jerked forward and were then pulled back by the seat belts.
Thalassa was so scared that her heart was pounding that she put her hand over her heart, gasping for air. âOh my God, that scared the life out of me, Iâm really worried about your driving skills. You rearâ
ended last time, didnât you learn your lesson?â
âIt was Alaric Falconer who rearâended me last time, okay?â Hertha was also scared out of her wits.
âSo, how did the conversation with Alaric go?â Thalassa recalled the previous car accident when Hertha successfully got Alaricâs contact information.
Herthaâs face darkened, looking very gloomy: âDonât even mention it, he just paid for the repair costs an d then ignored me.â
