The reporter droned on, but Thalassa was miles away, her focus entirely on the figure behind the journalist - Lysander. She observed his expressions, his gestures, catching his lips moving, forming words. Though the broadcast only carried the reporter's voice, leaving Lysander's words swallowed by silence, Thalassa's heart raced as she tried to catch what he was saying, desperately attempting to read his lips despite her lack of skill in lip-reading.
She missed most of what was said, but the last few words were crystal clear.

Then, on the TV screen, Joshua flashed a satisfied smile, taking Rosalind's hand and placing it in Lysander's, binding their hands together with a look of complete contentment.
Rosalind, looking both elegant and sweet, sneaked peeks at Lysander, radiating happiness.
Even without hearing the words, Thalassa understood the situation all too well.
Lysander had agreed to an engagement with Rosalind. Was that the meaning behind those three words he uttered? Why? Hadn't Lysander explained to her, just a while ago, that his engagement to Rosalind was a decision made behind the Grandpa Zephyr and Joshua, C without his consent, and thatit by wouldn't count? It was after that explanation that she, carried away by the moment, had responded to his kiss, so passionately that her wheelchair had toppled over.
And now, in such a short time, Lysander had agreed to this alliance with Rosalind? Recalling David's recent words, along with Rosalind's remarks she overheard at the hospital, Thalassa thought she grasped Lysander's motives.
His investment in a jewelry venture had tanked, cutting off his return path to the Sinclair group leadership. Marrying Rosalind, however, would grant him control over the entire Whitman Group, given that it was Rosalind's dowry.
With the Whitman Group at his command, reclaiming the presidency of the Sinclair group would be a walk in the park, wouldn't it? So, was Lysander choosing Rosalind over her, all for the sake of his career and status? This realization left Thalassa with a bitter taste, a turmoil of emotions churning within her.

Clutching the remote so tightly her knuckles turned white she was m of barely aware of the physical strain.
Finally, the reporter left the hospital room, and silence settled. Joshua, still holding Rosalind and Lysander's hands together refused to let go, wanting their grip on each other to tighten. Relying on an oxygen tank, his body weak from the accident, the crash had taken a significant toll on him. Rosalind was Joshua's beloved daughter, and the accident had only intensified his concerns for her. He feared leaving her behind without
ensuring she was in good hands, worried she might suffer in future.
