Chapter 48: Shenanigans

Athena contemplated the final consequence of the results she had in her hand, concerning Ewan’s brain issues, and sighed resignedly.

There was no way around it. She thought sadly, having made calls to various brain specialists around the globe.

She deliberated telling the news to Ewan, but changed her mind.

From the way he had responded earlier, she was sure he would refuse to be tested and treated now, citing the company as an excuse.

Exhaling softly, she rested her back squarely on the chair, and let it swirl her.

What should she do?

Her mind chose that moment to tease her. Why was she worrying about Ewan?

Athena pouted. It was a doctor’s sense of duty. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Just an insistent, passionate sense of duty.

Her phone dinged with a text.

She quickly reverted the chair to its center position, and picked her phone from the table.

It was a text from Kathleen.

’Mom, when are you coming back? We miss you!’

Athena smiled, her sad countenance lifting immediately.

Pushing thoughts of Ewan aside, she quickly got up from her seat, after checking the large minimalist clock on the wall opposite her.

She had spent more time at work today than she had promised her children!

Because it was the weekend, she had promised she would return earlier, but being the president of the entire Whitman hospitals wasn’t a joke.

Her time was easily swamped with duties here and there.

She even brought work home sometimes!

She didn’t like the development at all.
