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

Chapter 297: Friend?

"She’s better now. Awake even. Agents..." Athena stopped mid-sentence as Heronica suddenly waved her hand, seeking attention.

With her lips pressed into a tight line and her frown deepening, Athena chose to remain impassive to Heronica’s plight.

She had maintained her calm when panic had thrown Heronica to the ground, and remained indifferent while Cole had frantically shouted for help, desperately searching for anyone who might take pity on them. But no one had come to their aid.

Athena had only shown a sliver of compassion by providing a bottle of cold water, musing to herself that the black cells likely needed the duo alive for after all.

Fortunately for the black cells, Heronica was alive and breathing steadily.

Was she waving to say thanks? Well, she could express her gratitude from where she was.

The impatience coiled within Athena’s chest as she watched Cole assist Heronica to her feet.

"Thanks for your help, Doctor," Heronica said with a quivering voice.

Athena shrugged nonchalantly. "It’s just for the sake of the black cells. Is that all you wanted?"

The only reason she entertained this exchange was her need for information; perhaps Heronica knew more than she was willing to admit. Otherwise, Athena would have simply left. Her body still overflowed with disgust for people like Heronica and Cole, who showed a complete disregard for human life.

Ewan hissed from behind Athena, clearly frustrated with Heronica’s meek apology, which seemed more rooted in fear of consequences than genuine remorse.

Nothing will change that," Athena replied sharply, noting the tears that filled Heronica’s eyes as she fell to her
