Chapter 49: Shenanigans II

Athena chuckled slyly, seeing the display Zack Moore was enacting in public.

Did he think doing this would sway her into helping him? He must be a joker!

Already she was hearing murmurs from people, both hospital workers and patients alike.

Most of them thought her proud for letting an old man kneel before her.

But she wasn’t moved.

She chuckled more instead, when Zack, seeing the desired effect of his act on people, wrapped his hands around her legs and started bawling uncontrollably.

Zack concluded that if Athena wasn’t moved by his pleas, then she would surely be moved by the opinions of others.

He didn’t know how his stocks had suddenly plunged, but they had suffered that sad fate after that night’s party.

Hence, Athena must have something to do with it!

"Athena please! Don’t forsake your aged father because of a little scuffle six years ago! Please let the past remain in the past, and help me! I’m at the point of my death! Won’t you forgive my mistakes still?!"

He artfully checked the faces of people around him.

Seeing they were moved, he intensified his groanings.

"Remember how I took care of you, my dear, when you were younger and sick. Remember how I comforted you, on nights when you were plagued with nightmares. Would one mistake forever taint me in your eyes, because you are a doctor now?!"

Zack also refused to be separated from Athena’s legs when a concerned male tried lifting him.

The male in question gave Athena a bombastic side eye, before shifting away from them.

Athena wondered if the former knew who she really was, considering he had the prevalent disease, notwithstanding it was still in its earliest stage.
