Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 15: Mixed Feelings

Athena chuckled softly after Ewan’s plea, causing Ewan to ball his fists.

"Well, I won’t take up the case. Leave my office. And when you do, send the next person inside."

Ewan was rendered speechless again.

After a few beats, he opened his mouth to speak, but shut it, not knowing what to say, especially with Athena looking at him that way.

He held back a weary sigh and met her mocking gaze; she was deriving utmost pleasure from rejecting him, from playing with him.

But there were people’s lives at stake! Didn’t she care about that? Wasn’t it a doctor’s first need to heal people? So, what was this sentimental bullshit?

He opened his mouth to tell her this, but thought better. He didn’t know much of the new Athena, but knew that if he spoke now, he would be incurring more problems on him and his town.

He took a step back, and diverted his gaze from her to the pictures of Zane’s family on the wall.

If he had known that she was the only doctor who had found the cure to the strange ailment plagiarizing the country, he wouldn’t have gone berserk yesterday.

No. He would have stamped his anger and frustration down, just to see his people safe. He would have been cool, would’ve even made an attempt at friendship.

He was an astute businessman, putting his businesses before his personal life.

Last night, however, had been a shock to him. Why had he been so bitter?
