Chapter 1162
Doctors and nurses arrived in a flash, taking Thalassa from Lysander’s arms and rushing her on a
gurney toward the emergency room.
Lysander followed until the swinging doors of the ER halted his pace.
He stood at the threshold, and his brow furrowed as the lights within flickered to life. The usually
composed man began to pace restlessly, unable to conceal his anxiety,
A nurse approached, noticing one of his pant legs burned in half. His high-quality suit was jagged and
his sturdy calf was bore all red and blistered. Some blisters had burst and oozed blood in a shocking
display,
He seemed oblivious to his own injury. His intense gaze was fixed on the big “On Surgery”
on ER doors.
“Sir, your leg is burned; you might want to have that looked at in the treatment room. Infections can be

“No need,” Lysander dismissed her mid-sentence, his icy stare not wavering from the ER doors, not
sparing her a single glance.
Intimidated by his brooding and intimidating aura, the nurse stepped back, clutching her medical kit and
walking away.
Lysander’s gaze lingered on the words “On Surgery” and knew it would be a while. He settled on a
nearby waiting chair and pulled out his phone.
“Trace Thalassa’s movements today. Find out who she’s been in contact with,” he ordered his head of
security.
After ending the call, his eyes tightened further as he continued to watch the ER doors; his presence
was dark and ominous.
The half-hour wait felt like an eternity to Lysander. When the doors finally swung open, he stood
instantly and addressed the exiting doctor, “How is she?”
Recognizing Lysander as the CEO of the Sinclair Group, one of Starhaven’s most influential figures,
the doctor replied with utmost respect, “The patient arrived in time. She wasn’t burned, just suffered
from smoke inhalation. We’ve administered oxygen and dealt with it on time. She’s out of danger now.”
Lysander’s tense muscles relaxed slightly, his eyes narrowing as he inquired further, “And the baby?”
“The patient’s resilience is commendable, and the baby is unharmed,” the doctor reassured him.
Lysander had informed the medical team of Thalassa’s pregnancy before
she was whisked into the ER.

A visible sense of relief washed over him as his oceanic pupils dilated.
Thalassa was wheeled out with an oxygen mask on her face and an IV drip in her arm, but her eyes
were open.

Sitting beside her, Lysander’s gaze softened, his handsome face showing the remnants of exhaustion,
“Are you feeling any discomfort?” he asked in a deep, soothing voice.
Her hair was partly singed and untreated, adding to her disheveled appearance and stirring a mix of
anger and concern in him.
As Thalassa’s eyes met his, she saw the furrowed brow and the intense aura around him.
Was he worried about her?
She recalled her desperate moments when she was tied up, and how Lysander had dashed into the
inferno, risking his life to rescue her.
A warm surge filled her heart, and her look softened toward him.
She shook her head slightly, indicating she was alright.
Lysander’s tense expression eased as he leaned over, his fingers gently brushing her
charred hair from her forehead.
His broad and strong chest hovered over her, his masculine scent mixed with the smell of burnt fabric,
filling Thalassa’s senses and tightening her breath.
