chapter1544

Before Lysander could even utter a word, Dr. Funke added, "It seems like the person taking care of you hasn't taken my advice to heart."

Rosalind, already embarrassed, grew even more flustered upon hearing Dr. Funke's remark. She hurried to explain, "I've been taking good care of Lysander every day, keeping your instructions in mind, and following them to the letter. It might just be a matter of time before Lysander can stand on his feet again..."

Dr. Funke gave Rosalind a sharp look, then turned to Lysander, saying, "I only remember giving my advice to Thalassa. After all, it was Thalassa who invited me to treat you, and she was the one who agreed to my terms. I only recognize the person who sought me out.”

Rosalind's grip on the wheelchair's armrest tightened, her heart racing with tension and worry. Ethan had asked Lysander to meet at the diner to discuss some business matters

The last time Lysander went out for a work meeting, Rosalind hadn't accompanied him, which left her feeling quite defeated. This time, she insisted on joining Lysander no matter what.

But little did she expect that upon arriving at Fortune Restaurant, she would find Dr. Funke and Thalassa there. in the midst of a conversation about Lysander’s treatment!

Dr. Funke's earlier comment had pierced through the veil of lies she and Zephyr had maintained.

Being as sharp as he was, Lysander must have realized upon hearing Dr. Funke's words that it wasn't Rosalind who had been caring for him during his three-year coma, but Thalassa.

It was Thalassa, not Zephyr, who had asked Dr. Funke to treat Lysander, contrary to Zephyr’s claim that Thalassa had distanced herself from Lysander after he became comatose.

Caught in her lie in front of Lysander, Rosalind felt her heart pounding with unease and anxiety.

As the veil of shame was lifted, she braced herself for the inevitable fallout.

Amidst Rosalind's panic, Lysander didn't look back at her. His deep, obsidian eyes were fixed on Thalassa across from him. "She agreed to your terms, and I'm here to fulfill them," Lysander said.

Thalassa met Lysander's gaze, feeling her heart skip a beat at the intense focus in his onyx-like eyes. It was as if he was scrutinizing her, attempting to peer into the depths of her soul.

Thalassa's heart, which had just settled, was once again thrown into turmoil, stirring up waves of emotion.

His eyes seemed to consume her very soul, causing Thalassa’s heart to flutter. She quickly averted her gaze, unable to withstand his intense stare any longer.

She feared that her carefully guarded heart might once again be breached.

"Lysander, I understand what you mean, but Intra man of my word. Since it was 5 Thalassa who made the agreement with me, it has to be her who falfills it," Dr. Funke said, ? softening his tone in front ofS Lysander but remaining adamant.

"Why do you have to be so difficult..." Astrid protested, feeling indignant on their behalf.

"Since Adelaide couldn't make it, you'll have to stand in for her," Dr. Funke suddenly suggested, turning to Astrid. "What?" Astrid was taken aback.

Thalassa was also surprised, "Dr. Funke, what do you mean?”

“Your aunt's single, right?” Dr. Funke inquired.

"Yes," Thalassa replied, confused

"Then it's settled. She'll be my blind date for today," Dr. Funke declared

"

This man was indeed as eccentric as the rumors suggested. Moments ago, he had been lamenting her halfway to the grave And now, he seemed quite taken with her!

Thalassa, both nervous and astonished, quickly interjected, "Dr. Funke, my aunt. she..."

"Going to the movies, are we? It's been ages since I last watched one. Where shall we go? Make a decision.”

Just as Thalassa was about to reject Dr. Funke's sudden whim, Astrid surprisingly agreed to go watch a movie with him!
