Dad's going to be fine," Rosalind hastily countered, trying to ward off the ill omen Reginald had spoken. Thalassa remained silent, her brows furrowed, her hands clenching unconsciously on her lap.
Although her relationship with Joshua, her father, was distant, it was Joshua who had enabled her to meet Zephyr and take care of Lysander. Deep down, Thalassa was grateful to Joshua.
