Chapter 685

Thalassa’s fear instantly dissipated upon seeing him. Her tears fell uncontrollably.

Lysander turned around and turned his deep-set gaze toward her tear-streaked face; he reached out his arms to wrap around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. His low, magnetic voice resonated under the cold, dark sky, offering a comforting warmth, “You’re safe now.”
