Lydia clutched Thalassa's hand, her fingers trembling slightly with nerves as she whispered, "Was that guy really the father of your kids?"

"Yeah, that's Lysander," Thalassa confirmed.

"Oh my gosh, so he really is our commander! I thought it was just a coincidence of names." Lydia gasped in shock.

Her excitement mixed with anxiety, Lydia confessed, "When I was in the army, Lysander was our unit's commander, and I was one of his soldiers. After he was discharged, I never got the chance to see him again. And now, to think I'm about to treat him like a lab rat..."

That was her former boss, a devilishly tough training officer. How could she not be nervous about not only meeting him again but also having to administer injections to him?

"But he's not just any other guy, how can I possibly do that?" Lydia struggled to find her calm.

"Listen," Thalassa held Lydia's hand tighter, trying to offer solace, "the person you're treating now isn't your commander; it's Lysander, the father of my children. Just think about helping me by treating my kids' dad, and maybe that will help you relax."
