Chapter 417
Thalassa hailed a cab and returned to the new home that Hertha had rented for their family.
It was a walk-up apartment called Vibrant Oasis Residences.
They lived on the sixth floor. Since there was no elevator, the rent was relatively cheaper for such a
high floor.
Upon reaching Vibrant Oasis Residences, Thalassa made a beeline for home.
She had not seen the kids for two days and she missed them immensely.
She wanted to kiss their soft little cheeks and breathe in their baby scent. The longing was so intense
that it made her heart itch.
Having climbed the stairs to the sixth floor, Thalassa realized that she didn’t have the key to the new
house. So, she knocked on the door.
“I’m home!” came Hertha’s voice from inside.
Thalassa waited at the doorway for a while before the door opened.

With a cheerful voice, Hertha said, “Finally, our busy bee is back. We’re celebrating for Elowen. She
won the championship. That calls for a celebration.”
“Absolutely, it’s worth celebrating.” Nodding, Thalassa hurried inside.
She saw her four adorable children gathered around the dining table, with a large cake in the middle.
They were busily inserting candles into the cake.
Thalassa quickly walked towards them, “Babies, I’m back.”
“Mummy!”
Seeing her, the four adorable children’s eyes lit up with joy. They dropped the decorations in their
hands and rushed towards her.
Thalassa squatted down and scooped the soft tiny bodies into her arms, “I missed you all so much.”
She planted a kiss on each child’s soft tender face. The baby’s scent was intoxicating and therapeutic.
“Mummy, I saw you just now,” Elowen said, grinning widely. She had spotted her mum at her
competition earlier.
“Mmm.”
“Hmm, I didn’t see you when I went to school today.” Sophia sounded disappointed.
“Neither did I,” Dorian added.
“Mummy, what happened to your head?” Atticus, the most observant of them all, noticed the bandage
on Thalassa’s forehead and asked worriedly.
“Mummy, you’re hurt! Does it hurt? Dorian will blow on it, and the pain will go away.” Dorian too noticed
it, he tiptoed, puckered his lips, and blew on Thalassa’s forehead.
“What, Thalassa, you’re hurt?” Evelyn rushed out of the kitchen upon hearing this. Indeed, she saw
Thalassa’s bandaged forehead, and it seemed like a
serious wound.
Evelyn’s heart ached, but she scolded, “What happened to you? How did you get hurt? If something
dangerous happens to you, what will the kids and I do? You need to take care of yourself for the sake
of the family.”

This time, it was an accident.”
“What accident?” Evelyn asked.
“A car accident, Thalassa answered.
Upon hearing it was a car accident, Evelyn almost fainted.
“Does it have anything to do with Lysander?” Evelyn asked anxiously.
Atticus and Dorian also looked at Thalassa nervously. Their innocent eyes showed immense concern.
Thalassa quickly patted Evelyn’s arm to comfort her, “Mum, I’m okay, it’s just a minor injury. Don’t
worry.”
“Thalassa, you call a concussion a minor injury? If not treated properly, a concussion can lead to
mental impairment, even death,” Hertha pointed out.
“Your boss really overworks his employees. You got hurt, and he still makes you work, Hertha
complained.
“What, a concussion?” Evelyn’s heart tightened with more worry.
