Chapter 1400
Her gaze lingered on Joshua’s face for a second before shifting to David, silently seeking
his consent. ·
David was the representative of Zephyr, and if she wanted some alone time with Lysander, it was imperative to have David’s permission.
When Thalassa met his eyes, David’s brow furrowed slightly. Zephyr had spoken that they would agree to Thalassa taking care of Lysander only if she was under surveillance 24/7.
It was risky for her to be alone with Lysander now, especially in his hospital ward. After all, Lysander was at his most vulnerable period of recovery. A minor mishap could be fatal.
Thalassa noticed David’s hesitation and realized she was asking too much. With a hint of regret, she said, “Never mind, it was too much to ask for. I’m sorry.”
Her apology stemmed from an awareness that her request had put David in a tough spot.
“Mr. Sinclair’s external injuries haven’t healed yet, and I need to stay close by, just in case we need to call a doctor immediately,” David explained why they couldn’t leave.
Thalassa nodded in understanding. “I get it, I wasn’t thinking it through, my apologies. I’ll just… keep him company for a little longer.”
Her gaze drifted back to Lysander. He had remained motionless, not even a twitch of his fingers. Their conversation seemed not to impact him at all.
Normally, his eyes would’ve snapped open by now. As a former soldier, years of training had sharpened his senses to wake at the slightest disturbance, even in sleep
But now, he seemed untethered from the world around him.
Watching Lysander’s serene face, Thalassa’s heart grew heavier.
After ten minutes in the hospital ward, Thalassa requested to see Dr. Everest, a
escorted her to his office.
With earnest sincerity, Thalassa inquired about Lysander’s condition from Dr. Ever
Joshua was right. The only way to help Lysander was to quickly devise a care plan a take effective actions. Mere sadness wouldn’t help.
Dr. Everest explained, “Lysander is in excellent physical shape, so the external wounds an not an issue. They will heal with time. The head injury, however, is severe. Not only is ther nerve damage, but there are also clots in his brain. Some people can absorb these clots on their own while others can’t.”
“What can be done to help him absorb the clots?” Thalassa asked.

“After his external wounds have healed, you can apply warm compresses to his head daily to promote blood circulation, which might help the clots dissipate. As for the nerve damage, continuous stimulation through speech or physical movement is necessary. If a miracle occurs and he responds to the stimulation, it means his nerves are reacting, and he’s close to waking up.”
Dr. Everest detailed Lysander’s current state to Thalassa.
Understanding what needed to be done, Thalassa wiped the tears away and sincerely thanked Dr. Everest, “I see. Thank you, Dr. Everest.”
A month later, Lysander was discharged. His injuries had mostly healed, and the bandages on his head were removed.
Back at Royal Estates, Thalassa took care of him with the help of the household staff.
The estate was surrounded by bodyguards around the clock, an impenetrable fortress of security arranged by Zephyr. This was partly to prevent any external threat and partly to keep an eye on Thalassa.
In the past, being under such close watch would have made Thalassa feel uneasy and suffocated.
But now, she hardly had the luxury to worry about her own circumstances.
