Thalassa’s fear instantly dissipated upon seeing him. Her tears fell uncontrollably.
Lysander turned around and turned his deep-set gaze toward her tear-streaked face; he reached out his arms to wrap around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. His low, magnetic voice resonated under the cold, dark sky, offering a comforting warmth, “You’re safe now.”
Thalassa rested her forehead on his chest; her hands clung onto his shirt, and her body was shivering uncontrollably, wetting his shirt with her tears.
The ordeal she had just undergone was terrifying. There was a thunderstorm and also a wild monkey attack. She thought her life was going to end there.
But then, Lysander came.
Lysander’s arm around her waist tightened as he sensed her shaky body; while his other hand gently stroked her back to give her comfort.
He remembered her fear of thunderstorms.

Now they were out in the wilderness with wild monkeys and thunderstorms, so her fear must have doubled.
Thalassa, frail as she was, felt the warmth from his large hand gently stroking her back.
His hand, roughened with callouses, could spark a warmth on her chilled back even through the fabric. That warmed her body up.
Thalassa was genuinely terrified. She clung onto Lysander’s shirt as if it was a lifeline. She couldn’t calm down that quickly so she rested in his arms and cried like a child.
In the past five years, she had been out there, fighting on her own, earning for her family, and being the strong pillar for her kids. Regardless of the difficulties and obstacles, she bore them all alone.
Even when she was tired or in pain, she would hide away and lick her wounds alone.
She was the support for her kids and Evelyn, so if she showed signs of weakness, it would only put Evelyn and the kids in a more helpless situation.
Therefore, she always put on a cheerful and optimistic front when she was with her family no matter how hard and tough her time was.
She swallowed all the bitterness and hardship by herself.
Now there was a shoulder she could lean on, a place where she could cry.
At this moment, Thalassa was not only releasing her fear, but also the grievances and exhaustion deep in her heart. These all came out in the form of tears, causing her to sob uncontrollably.
“It’s okay. I’m here, you’re safe.” Lysander’s low, magnetic voice echoed.

His arms around her softened even further.
Just as the two were nestled together, the lagging bodyguards and David arrived.
“Mr. Sinclair, you’re too fast. We couldn’t keep up,” David managed between gasps of breath. He only saw Lysander’s silhouette, not noticing Thalassa curled up in his arms. He gasped for air and managed to get out a sentence.
Thalassa, startled by the voices, immediately straightened up from Lysander’s embrace, attempting to stand on her own.
Her muscles were overly taut after her extreme fear. Now she was relaxed and felt extremely weak.
Her legs wobbled, which nearly caused her to fall off the steps.
Lysander quickly scooped her back into his arms. His thick eyebrows furrowed, “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“I just lost my balance. It’s okay. I can stand,” Thalassa quickly wiped her tears. She was trying to stand on her own. She only got one leg supporting her weight.
Lysander noticed her swaying so his gaze fell onto her leg. She was standing on one foot and raised the other leg slightly. Her cropped jeans revealed her white leather shoes and her severely swollen ankle.
He furrowed his brows and swiftly lifted her into his arms.
Thalassa, who was taken aback, instinctively clung onto his neck. Seeing David and several bodyguards around, she felt embarrassed, “I just need someone to support me. I can walk on my own.”
“Don’t move!” Lysander commanded.
