The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1164
Thalassa glanced at Lysander’s leg and then up at him. Worry and tension were clear as day in her clear eyes.
Lysander caught her concern and attempted to downplay the injury, “It’s just a scratch, no big deal.”
Despite his casual words, Thalassa saw the harsh reality-a large swath of his calf was burned, several blisters had popped, and
the mingling of blood and pus was a gruesome sight.
He must have gotten burned while rescuing her
Her heart clenched with a mix of guilt and anxiety.
After finishing in the bathroom, she stood up and was ready to leave.
Lysander reached out to carry her, but she quickly stepped away, heading for the door to dodge his embrace.
She had been first carried in because she was totally unprepared, but now she had to make her own way out. Her legs were not
hurt, she just needed oxygen
The person who hurt his leg was Lysander, and the thought of making him carry her was unbearable.
Walking with resolute steps, Thalassa left the bathroom. Lysander didn’t press further and followed her with the oxygen tank in
tow.
Back at the bedside, Thalassa reclined and gestured for Lysander to set the tank down, her gaze then returning to his leg,
silently urging him to tend to his wound.

Lysander complied with placing the tank back but didn’t leave her side. Instead, he sat down by her bed, locking eyes with her as
if afraid she’d vanish the moment he looked
away.
Thalassa, seeing that he hadn’t moved to treat his injury, checked the oxygen tank anxiously. It had a timer showing how much
time was left-just five minutes remaining.
As soon as the timer hit zero, Thalassa quickly removed the oxygen mask and, barely catching her breath, urged Lysander, “Go
to the infirmary and get that leg looked at now.”
“If I leave, who’s going to watch over you?” he replied.
Stunned by his concern, she gazed at his handsome face. There was a warmth in his typically cold demeanor that left her dazed
and incredulous.
It made her sway and feel incredulous.
After watching him for a moment, she felt that his deep-set eyes were trying to suck her

1. Thalassa was startled and drifted back to her senses, “I can look after myself. You need to take care of that wound, or you
might end up with an infection or even worse, a permanent limp. It wouldn’t do for your poise.”

“Would you hold that against me?” he asked suddenly.
Her heart skipped a beat. Already feeling an inexplicable warmth towards him, his question left her flustered. She could feel her
heart racing erratically.
Avoiding his intense gaze, she quickly retorted, “Who am I to judge you? Besides, no one has the right. I just don’t want you to
suffer any long-term effects because of me.”
Lysander’s expectant eyes dimmed with a hint of disappointment as he heard her.
“Rest here,” he stowed his gaze and said coldly, turning to leave the room.
After he left, presumably to care for his injury, Thalassa breathed a sigh of relief. She took a deep breath and relaxed her grip on
the sheets.
Some fifteen minutes later, Lysander returned. Instinctively, Thalassa’s eyes darted to his leg. Seeing it neatly bandaged and
treated, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Lysander sat down on a chair by the bed, pulled out his phone, and made a call for room
service.
After he hung up, Thalassa asked him, “How did you find me?”
If it weren’t for his timely arrival, she might have been nothing more than a charred corpse
by now.
