Chapter 1649Hertha was scrolling through her news feed when her jaw nearly hit the floor. Without wasting a
second, she scrambled for Thalassa’s number and called her up, ready to give Lysander a piece of
her mind.
Just a few days ago, Thalassa had been telling her how Lysander had called off his engagement
with Rosalind, and how it wasn’t Lysander who had kicked Thalassa out of the Royal Estates. The
misunderstanding was cleared, and Lysander even confessed his feelings to Thalassa.
And now, Lysander was announcing his engagement to Rosalind?
Was he just playing games with Thalassa?
Men are dogs. Not a decent one in the bunch!
Hertha, panicking, tried calling Thalassa, only to find her phone was turned off.
That couldn’t be right; Thalassa never turns off her phone.

After trying again with the same result, Hertha started to worry. She drove over to Thalassa’s place
and rang the doorbell for what felt like an eternity, but no one answered.
Something felt off, and Hertha’s worry deepened.
For the past three years, aside from her visits to the Royal Estates to take care of Lysander,
Thalassa had always been a homebody. Now, with no reason to visit the Royal Estates, where else
could she go?
What if Thalassa had seen the news and done something rash?
The thought sent a shiver of fear through Hertha. She kept ringing the bell, but to no avail.This was bad. Really bad. When someone who’s usually reachable suddenly isn’t, it’s always a bad
sign.
Pacing anxiously at Thalassa’s doorstep, Hertha was at a loss for what to do next or who to turn to
for help.
In her most desperate moment, a name popped into her head. There was only one person she
could call now.
Personal grievances had to be set aside. Finding Thalassa was all that mattered.

Hertha dialed Alaric’s number, and before he could even ask what was wrong, she blurted out,
“Thalassa’s gone missing! I’m terrified she might do something stupid. I can’t find her anywhere.
What if something happens to her?”
By the end, Hertha’s voice was choked with tears. Thalassa was her best friend, her only true friend
in this world, and she just couldn’t bear the thought of losing her.
Thalassa had grown up without a father and had never known a father’s love. Now in her thirties,
even though she had reconciled with her biological father, Joshua, he showed blatant favoritism
towards his younger daughter, completely disregarding Thalassa’s feelings.
And Thalassa’s beloved mother had passed away three years ago.
Her precious treasures had been taken away by the Sinclair family.
She was all alone, with not a soul in the world to call her own, a thought that was heart-wrenchingly
sad.

Alaric had been holding a grudge against Hertha for paying more attention to Spencer than to him,
but hearing her cry melted his heart instantly. Trying to console her, he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll call
Lysander and talk to him. He should know what’s going on.”
After reassuring Hertha, Alaric called Lysander. There was a moment of silence when the call
connected.
The first thing Alaric said was straight to the point: “Lysander, is Thalassa with you? Hertha says
she’s unreachable, and we’re worried something might have happened to her.”
“Unreachable?” Lysander’s grip on his phone tightened, his brows furrowed, a chill settling around
him.
