Hertha’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze, unable to hold Lysander’s piercing stare any longer.

The man was downright horrifying. Even a single second of eye contact was enough to send shivers down her spine and nearly induce a panic attack.

She hurriedly started her car, a sleek and inconspicuous sedan, and took off down the street. She had considered going back to help Thalassa, but it seemed now that her presence would only complicate matters.

Lysander, although cold and detached towards Thalassa, had never truly harmed her.
