Lysander's voice was firm and brooked no argument.
Thalassa couldn't help but look up at Lysander, and for some reason, when she heard him speak those words, she felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Rosalind felt her heart sink, filled with discomfort and a sense of humiliation. Her mother had meant well, attempting to assert her position in front of Thalassa by having Lysander acknowledge her as his fiancée, aiming to make Thalassa tone down her behavior and understand who the real lady of the Sinclair household was! It was supposed to be a win-win move, securing Lysander's acknowledgment while putting Thalassa in her place.
But Lysander had just declared that Zephyr's decision wasn't his own doing! What was Lysander implying? Did he not want to marry her? Rosalind's breathing became erratic, filled with discomfort, anger, and a sense of injustice, yet she couldn't lash out.
Matilda, faced with rejection, was also taken aback. She was about to speak when the emergency room doors opened, drawing everyone's attention to the entrance.
A doctor in a white coat emerged, and as Thalassa moved forward to inquire, Matilda and Rosalind rushed to the doctor first.
"How's my dad doing?"
"Doctor, is my husband alright?"
Hearing that Joshua was safe, Thalassa heaved a deep sigh of relief, her tense shoulders finally relaxing.
Matilda was profusely thankful, "Thank you, doctor, I can't thank you enough." Her son being a disappointment, Matilda couldn't bear the thought of losing Joshua. If something happened to Joshua, the Reed Group would be thrown into chaos, and Reginald was not capable of handling the situation. The Reed Group needed Joshua at the helm now more than ever.
"Thank goodness, mom, dad's going to be alright," Rosalind said, relieved. She then quickly turned and walked over to Lysander, kneeling down, grabbing his hand with tears in her eyes, and said emotionally, "Lysander, my dad's going to be fine, the doctor said he's out of danger, I'm so relieved..."
"Uh-huh," Lysander responded, his voice carrying a single syllable filled with a multitude of unsaid words.
