Lysander closed his eyes, his face devoid of any emotion. Meanwhile, Thalassa watched from the side, her heart tightening with each insertion of the silvery needle, her brows furrowing slightly.

Just as Lydia was concentrating on the acupuncture, Lysander's phone in his pocket began to ring. Fortunately, the ringtone didn't disturb Lydia, who continued her work unfazed. However, the phone kept ringing. Though Lydia seemed unaffected, the continuous ringing was bound to be a distraction.

Seeing Lysander with his eyes closed, expressionless and unable to move, Thalassa walked over, reached into Lysander's pocket, and took out the phone, seeing that the caller ID showed Captain Payne. She looked at Lysander and said, "It's Captain Payne calling. Should I answer it for you?"

"Answer it," Lysander uttered.

Thalassa nodded, slid the answer button, and put the call on speaker.

Payne's voice came through the phone, "Lysander, Joshua indeed took Susan from the bar. Reginald was giving Susan a hard time, and Joshua gave him an earful."
