Chapter 694

The ringing of the phone also caught Thalassa’s attention.

It was a tone she was familiar with, her own ringtone. Her phone was on the bedside table, within arm’s reach. Temporarily letting go of her children, she picked it up and saw her boss, Ethan’s name on the screen.

Before Thalassa could even offer him a greeting, Ethan’s voice filled the room. “Thalassa, just stay home and rest. Don’t worry about coming to work until you’re fully recovered.”
