Chapter 1016
Of course, Lysander couldn’t hear Thalassa’s silent prayers. He lifted the wine glass to his lips and took a sip.
Thalassa’s heart, which had been fluttering like a trapped bird, sank into the depths of despair as she watched the red wine sliding down Lysander’s throat. He had drunk the wine, and with it, her last sliver of hope seemed to dissolve.
