Chapter 840
As Leopold lay on the ground, blood pooled around him and the pavement was stained a shocking red.
Thalassa’s head was buzzing, her body trembling as her breaths came in fits and starts. Her hands shook as she
reached out to touch him, but then she froze.
She was scared to touch him, scared that he might shatter at the slightest contact.
Tears blurred her vision, and the shrill cries of the reporters echoed around them. But to Thalassa, it was as if the
world had muted. It was as if she was watching a silent film filled with a bleak, desolate sadness.

“Please, someone’s fallen… fallen from a building…”

as she prayed.
The reporters who had been screaming in shock just moments ago were now pulling themselves together. Their

“Get back, stop filming! Please, just stop!”

suffering displayed for the world to see.
Through the agony that threatened to tear her apart, Thalassa managed to push back the circling reporters and
create a small safe haven around Leopold.
Ethan, too, hadn’t expected the fallen figure to be Leopold. After a moment of stunned disbelief, he saw Thalassa
struggling with the reporters and rushed forward to help her keep them at bay.
“Leopold, my boy!” Amelia cried out from the 18th floor window, her heart aching as she watched the horrific

unforgiving concrete. Amelia couldn’t comprehend the reality of the situation. Her legs gave way beneath her, and
she collapsed in a heap.
She cried out as her tear–filled eyes caught sight of the swarm of reporters below.
Lysander, too, was shocked. His pupils constricted as he turned to leave.
Amelia spotted him, and with the last bit of strength she could muster, she stumbled over and grabbed onto his
pant leg.
Lysander stopped in his tracks, his gaze hardened as he looked down at her.
choked back a sob, pleading, “Lysander, I beg you, don’t tell the reporters about the explosion being connected to
Leopold. Isn’t price he’s paid for this tragedy enough? Please, let him keep some of his dignity”
