Chapter 979
Whipping out his phone, Lysander dialed Dr. Everest’s number, “No need to come over; you can head back now.”
“Oh, alright then,” Dr. Everest replied.
Hearing that Dr. Everest wouldn’t be coming, Thalassa paused for a second, her tense nerves slightly relaxing, and
her trembling breath began to settle.
Having just endured a brutal punishment from Lysander that left her body marked, she feared Dr. Everest seeing
her disheveled state.

disarray was even more distressing.
Relieved that she no longer had to worry about her embarrassment being discovered, she felt somewhat better.
The driver, who had sensed the silent battle between Lysander and Thalassa in the backseat all along, was on edge.
Lysander’s chilling aura was constantly spreading in the car.
Under immense pressure, the driver didn’t dare glance in the rear-view mirror. His back was drenched in cold
sweat, hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. He feared making any mistake that could provoke Lysander and
inadvertently become collateral damage.
Finally, he carefully drove into the gates of Royal Estates.
Lysander stepped out of the car, with Thalassa following suit.
The lights in the grand foyer of Royal Estates were still on.
Fitch heard the sound of the car in the courtyard and came out to greet them with utmost respect, “Sir, you’re
back.”
His
gaze shifted to Thalassa behind Lysander. After a brief moment of surprise, he said with relief and joy, “Ms.
Everhart, you’re here too. I’m glad you’re alright. The kids were so worried about you earlier. The four little darlings
wouldn’t go to bed, fretting over you. I told them Lysander would bring you back, and that’s the only thing that
calmed them down.”

Had they known she was in danger? How worried they must have been.
“They’ve fallen asleep,” Fitch informed her.
“I’ll go check on them,” Thalassa said, her concern for the children pulling her toward the first floor where their
bedrooms were. Lysander’s gaze followed her, but he stayed put.
Coming back to his senses, Fitch noticed the stern look on Lysander’s face. Tensing up, he asked apprehensively,
“Sir, dinner is ready in the kitchen. Shall I warm it up?”
“Warm it up and bring it out. Do I even need to teach you that?” Lysander commanded in a deep tone.
Frightened, Fitch broke out in a cold sweat and quickly agreed, “Right away, sir,” before hurrying off to the kitchen.
