Chapter 198: Ego II

Even Gianna was against her too? Didn’t they understand the havoc those evil twins could wreak if given even the slightest chance to thrive? Why couldn’t they see things from her viewpoint? Athena wondered, taking note of Gianna’s calm expression.

However, from experience, she knew better than to be fooled by that exaggerated tranquility. Her best friend was angry with her.

She glanced at her children; they seemed confused by the situation, but they also didn’t appear happy that she had chased Aiden away with her barrage of questions. She exhaled harshly and looked up at the ceiling, as if asking for grace to push through this.

"I’m sorry, Gianna. I guess you’re right. I will apologize to him. Meet me with the kids, at the car park," She said, hurrying out of the room.

In the hallways, as she searched for Aiden, she found herself being stopped repeatedly and congratulated by both patients and medical staff alike, such that by the time she finally reached the reception area, more than fifteen minutes had passed.

She sighed in relief when she saw Aiden and Old Mr. Thorne engaged in a conversation with Finn. She hastily covered the distance between them.

Finn noticed her first, as he was facing the angle from which she was coming. "Doctor Athena! You look well! Thank the heavens!" He exclaimed, his voice pitched a bit higher with excitement.

Old Mr. Thorne quickly turned, a smile breaking on his lips when he saw Athena. He excused himself from Aiden and engaged her in a tight hug.

"For a second there, I thought I was losing another daughter..." He muttered, clutching her tighter.

Athena sighed, hearing his ragged voice, knowing the old man was on the brink of tears.

"I am fine, dear friend.Thank you for all you did yesterday," She said, glancing at Aiden, who hadn’t turned at her appearance.
