The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1280

The boat steadied momentarily, and Thalassa’s breath hitched as she saw her mother plunge into the water. Panic overtook her senses, and she leapt to her feet, darting toward the spot where her mother had disappeared, screaming out loud, “Mom!”

Evelyn struggled in the water, her body sinking and rising, gulping down water until she could no longer resurface, her form descending into the depths.

“Mom!” Thalassa’s heart raced, threatening to burst from her throat as she frantically prepared to dive in after her mother.

Her hands had just grazed the edge of the boat when a strong grip seized her, pulling her back.

“Let me go. I have to save my mom!” Thalassa instinctively tried to shake off the restraint. Lysander’s voice cut through, “Can you even swim? Jumping in would be suicide.”

“I don’t care! My mom’s drowning, can’t you see? Let go of me, I have to save her!” Tears streamed down Thalassa’s face as she struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Lysander’s grasp.

“Mmm…” Evelyn floundered at the surface, her fate as uncertain as a fish leaping from the water.

Thalassa’s heart was in knots, desperation fueling her attempts to shake off Lysander’s hold, “Let go of me. I have to save her!”

Lysander’s gaze was icy as he looked at her, his eyes a wintry abyss.
