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

Chapter 160: Her Gut Feelings

"So why haven’t you given the go-ahead order to attack them?" Old Mr. Thorne asked after a while, his voice sounding more relaxed than when he had first spoken.

"We have their coordinates and the nature of their movements every day... why aren’t we doing anything yet? We could eliminate them once and for all and face the future. I am sure that will be a source of comfort even to the nation."

Athena took her lower lip in, pondering the best way to answer the question without her older friend thinking she was naïve or foolish. But then she let her thoughts flow out, choosing to damn the consequences. "I don’t feel it is the right time."

A thick pause enveloped the conversation on the other end of the line. Unconsciously, Athena waited with bated breath for the response, finding herself questioning why Old Mr. Thorne’s words meant so much to her now.

"If you feel the time isn’t right, then the time isn’t right. I learnt the hard way that if we disregard our instincts—our gut feelings—it often leads to trouble."

There was a second pause.

"If I had listened to my gut feelings twenty-nine years ago, I wouldn’t have lost my daughter and her precious husband."

The mood nosedived quickly, and Athena felt a weight of sudden grief crashing over her.

"I’m sorry about that, friend." She spoke aloud, feeling an immense sorrow for her older companion, even as she wondered why her heart ached when she didn’t even know his daughter.

"It’s alright. It’s all in the past. So, should we just keep watching them?" Old Mr. Thorne asked, his tone chirpy once more.

"Yes, please. Are they still engaged in those strange activities?"
