Chapter 1282
Before long, the boat docked at the shore.
With a gentle hand, Thalassa helped Evelyn up onto the land. They needed a
ride back to the hotel.
Lysander hailed a cab, and soon the group of four were on their way back to the
hotel.
Callum, who was nursing a twisted ankle, lagged behind.
With concern etched on her face, Thalassa quickly escorted Evelyn back to their
room.
Lysander followed suit. Turning around, Thalassa found his towering frame
beside her. She took a deep breath and tried to shake off the heaviness in her
chest.
“Mom's and my clothes are all in this room,” she said to Lysander. “Did you bring
any clothes with you? If not, you might

After a while, Evelyn emerged, and it was Thalassa’s turn.
Exiting the steamy bathroom, Thalassa found Evelyn sitting on the bed, her eyes
glazed over, lost in thought, devoid of their usual spark.
Thalassa dreaded seeing her mother like this. She sat beside her and asked
softly, “Mom, what's on your mind?”
Evelyn snapped back to reality and glanced at Thalassa. “I'm thinking about
Lysander.”
Thalassa waited for her to continue.

“Mom, don’t overthink it. If you're tired, why not take a nap?” Thalassa
suggested.
Evelyn looked at the bed where she had sat in her wet clothes, dampening the
sheets.
Understanding her mother’s hesitation, Thalassa stood up, walked over to the
nightstand and picked up the phone to call the front desk.
“I'll call the front desk to have them change the sheets,” she said while waiting for

Soon enough, someone answered. Thalassa said, “This is room 201. Could we
