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

Chapter 348: Grand Gestures

"You know you can’t let them know that you are onto them..."

Ever the present shadow, Athena mused, hearing Ewan’s voice behind her. Wasn’t he out with Aiden, talking over the next steps just minutes ago? She hadn’t noticed him step in behind her.

"Are we still talking about the intruders, the fanatics trying to break into my lab?"

"No," Ewan muttered, standing beside her, eyes trained on the television set, on which Morgan’s picture was displayed. The gory one Athena had taken about an hour ago, the one she had sent to the president.

It didn’t take them long to get around publicizing the info. He faintly shook his head. Fulfilling their promise to the public must feel so good, he concluded, aware of the buzzing starting around them—from the medical officials in the room to the happy patients and visiting party.

They must think that the Grey madness was over. If only they knew.

"Your thoughts are not with me?"

Ewan’s attention was immediately returned to his partner, who stood still facing the television.

"Sorry, I was sidetracked by the buzzing around us. The people are happy." He could hear the chatter, the joyful chatter, and the claps on hands and backs. And he could see some heading toward Athena. Maybe to congratulate her?

"I think we should move. We need to get the nonsense out of my body, after all..." As she spoke, she donned a necessary smile on her lips while heading toward the entrance to the hallway.

She shook hands and accepted the admiration and thanks from the people—congratulations. But it didn’t stop in the hallway, not until she made a sharp bend into another corridor and then into her personal laboratory in the hospital.

"Overwhelmed?"

Athena shrugged and took a seat. "You were saying something earlier about my being careful..."

"Yeah..." Ewan concurred, taking a seat three chairs away, not wanting to make her uncomfortable.

He was not oblivious of the sharp tension between them, albeit unstable as it was; one that originated after the less than five seconds moment they had experienced in her private lab downtown.
