Chapter 1329

Thalassa’s legs were limp as she sprinted through the hospital corridors, searching frantically for a doctor. When she finally spotted one, she blurted out, “Excuse me! Have you seen a lady brought in in emergency? Her name’s Evelyn Pendleton.”

“Are you her family?” the doctor inquired.

“I’m her daughter.” Thalassa replied, a tremor in her voice.

At the mention of her relation, the doctor’s eyes dropped, his expression somber. “I’m sorry to tell you this, but the patient was pronounced dead at the scene. She was brought here for… postmortem care. You can find her in the morgue.”

“What!” Thalassa’s whole body shook violently, the last thread of hope within her snapping.

It felt like a thunderclap had gone off in her head, leaving her so unsteady she could hardly stand.

“Thalassa…” Lysander caught her as she nearly collapsed, noting her ashen face and quivering lips. His heart also twisted painfully.
