The noise startled Levi and he turned around to find Lyse standing at the open door, surrounded by broken plates and shattered glass. Her face was pale, and her eyes were wide with shock.
He silently cussed himself for not ensuring that the door was locked before speaking. It was obvious that she had overheard him.
"Lyse, listen to me, I can explain everything." Levi said, his voice filled with concern.
Lyse did not answer him. She just stared at him, her expression a mix of confusion and fear.
"Levi" Lyse said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Tell me I heard wrong." She said, her voice trembling.
"You should just calm down and let me explain, it is not what it looks like." Levi tried to soothe her.
She looked away, her expression thoughtful as she tried to explain away what she had heard. "That can't be right, Brandon is Dr Marlowe's son, he can't be your son."
