Chapter 219: The ‘Psychatric Clinic’ VI

A silent pause ensued after Ewan’s question, inviting an uncertain atmosphere over the dining area of the living room.

"Do you think she is the one that saved you those years ago?" Zane broke the silence finally, leaning forward, his eyebrows raised in disbelief.

Ewan said nothing at first.

"Ewan..."

Ewan sighed and inhaled deeply. "I’m not sure. The timing somehow matches, I think."

Zane shook his head. "That won’t be possible, remember? At that time, you weren’t allowed to cross over to Zack’s boundary; none of us were allowed without the guidance of an adult, most likely our parents. At least, I know that before my father shipped me out of the country for my education or whatever..."

A significant pause.

"Even though there was a truce between Zack and your father, it was a fragile one. So how can you meet Athena in the first place, not to mention build a lasting friendship where she jumps into raging waters to save you before thinking of herself?"

Ewan swallowed, reclining deeper into the chair. Zane was right in his deductions. There was no way he would have been close to Athena then. Yet...

He sighed and looked at Sandro, who was watching him with furrowed eyebrows. "What accident was that?"

A frown masked Sandro’s face when he peered into the screen. "It wasn’t mentioned here. According to the sources, even her friends are unaware of the type of accident."

A pregnant pause, after which Sandro looked at Ewan. "If we are really going to get a real answer, we will have to meet Zack."

"That we will do, first thing tomorrow. As a matter of fact, I will try to speak with him tonight. I hope he doesn’t get cocky and make stupid demands," Ewan agreed, turning up his lips as he contemplated this matter—Zack’s readiness to reveal the truth when called upon.

Sandro and Zane exchanged glances before nodding along. Whatever the boss said, they thought. But there was no way Athena was Ewan’s savior. That would be pushing coincidences very far.

"Is there anything about the friction between her and Morgan’s gang? What’s the current play now?" Ewan asked, pushing aside thoughts of the accident. There was no need to dwell on them when he would be getting answers soon.
