The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 602
Thalassa took a deep breath and picked up her phone.
A deep, chilling male voice resonated through the call. Its oppressive aura was as clear as day even across the phone line.
“Did you pick up the kids?”
Thalassa’s heart tightened, her voice shaky as she replied, “No, I’m still at work. I haven’t left the office yet.”
“Understood, Lysander responded, then hung up.
Thalassa was about to ask further, but her phone had already gone silent.
Her anxiety was palpable. She swallowed the questions that were stuck in her throat.
Thalassa pulled the phone away from her ear, glancing at the disconnected call on her screen. She turned and began to walk
out.
What did Lysander’s question mean?
Were the kids missing?
Thalassa was full of unease, her heart pounding with worry.
No matter what happened, she could keep her composure. But when it came to the kids, she couldn’t stay calm.
“Where are you going?” Anna suddenly blocked her path.
“Ah!” Thalassa didn’t stop in time, bumping into her. Her cup of coffee splashed out, staining Thalassa’s white blouse.
Surprised, Thalassa looked up at Anna, her eyes showing a hint of blame.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you would bump into me. I got coffee all over you. My bad. But we’re not off work yet. Where are you
going?” Anna covered her mouth in shock, a look of feigned innocence and apology on her face.
While she seemed apologetic, her words hinted that it wasn’t her fault but Thalassa’s own recklessness and she was accusing
Thalassa of leaving early.

“I’ll tell the boss I’m leaving early. Where I go is my business, I don’t need to explain it to you.” Thalassa shot Anna a stern look.
Without bothering about the coffee stains on her blouse, she quickly left the office.
Anna was clearly trying to trip her up.
Just because Ethan had asked her to discuss some work matters and not Anna?
A woman’s jealousy can indeed be terrifying.
It was now half past four in the afternoon, half an hour before quitting time.
But the kindergarten classes were already over.
Lysander’s call asking if she had picked up the kids must have been because he didn’t find the kids at the kindergarten.
Who could have picked up the kids?
Some criminal didn’t take them, right?
Thalassa’s heart pounded with worry. She was highly concerned for the kids.
She could logically analyze anything else, but when it came to the safety of the kids, all she could think of was the kids’ adorable
voices and laughter. She was worried sick about their safety.
She couldn’t calm down at all.
Perhaps only a mother would understand that feeling.
She rushed out of the office and frantically hailed a cab, only to realize she didn’t know where to go.
Her mind was blank for a moment.
The driver stopped the car and asked, “Miss, where to?”
Thalassa came back to her senses and quickly told the driver, “Can you wait a moment? I need to make a call.
She scrolled through her phone’s call log, found Lysander’s number, and called again. The phone rang, but no one picked up.

Thalassa’s anxiety skyrocketed. She was like an ant on a hot pan.
The kids were missing, Lysander wasn’t picking up, and she felt like she was in a vacuum. She was desperate to see them and
was filled with worry, but she had no idea how to contact them.
Thalassa’s breathing started to become ragged. She tried to calm herself down.
Could it be Evelyn who had picked up the kids?
Thalassa dialed Evelyn’s number.
The call was quickly connected. Thalassa asked hurriedly, “Mom,
did
pick up the kids from kindergarten?”
“No, I’ve been at the hospital all day. What happened to the kids?” Evelyn’s surprised voice came through the phone.
