Chapter 340: Fiona’s Truth VII

At Athena’s question, Aiden sighed weakly, glancing at his friend who was bent on believing that Master Shen’s death hadn’t been an accident.

Was it too hard to believe that a strong karate master could have simply given up the ghost out of a heart attack? Was that even to be considered far-fetched, considering the inconsiderate and wicked family members that surrounded him?

Why was she being so hard on herself? He wondered. Couldn’t she just let sleeping dogs lie? He would have stopped the questioning—for the sake of its uselessness—but there was something in her resolve, her determined face, that made him hold back. He knew she had to learn the lesson herself, feel the sting of accepting reality on her own.

Didn’t Ewan mention that he cared too much? Another tired sigh escaped him as he directed his gaze to Morgan.

The latter, which met Athena’s gaze tiredly, with an emotion akin to curiosity—albeit weak—in his eyes.

The bitch really was leaving no stone unturned. He mused, drawing in sharp breaths greedily, feeling himself grow weaker with each passing second. So much so that opening his mouth to speak seemed like a war in itself. All he wanted was to close his eyes and sleep—since freedom had become a thing of the past.

"I’m not as patient as Ewan." Athena’s cold voice snapped Morgan out of his thoughts.

"Sorry..." The word slipped from his lips before he could stop it. He tried to laugh at his pathetic submission that came far too soon, but the laugh came out as a dried croak. He was really done for.

"Your suspicions...are right, Athena. Master Shen’s death wasn’t natural. Yes, he suffered from high blood pressure sometimes, and occasional heart attacks, but it wasn’t what killed him."

Athena controlled the trembling of her lips, the onslaught of sorrow threatening to overwhelm her. She forbade her eye faucet from opening, refusing to let the tears fall. This wasn’t the time to weep. It was the time to set things straight—to seek the truth, to seek revenge.
