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

Chapter 389: Secret Lab

"Ciara, where is everybody?" Athena couldn’t help her curiosity as she stepped into her large office space, eyes still turning behind to see if she would see anyone lurking behind. But there was none.

Was there a meeting she knew nothing of? She wondered, frowning when she noticed that she had just asked the thin air questions; Ciara wasn’t around.

Her secretary’s table was empty, except for a few files and stationeries. There was no handbag or coat. There was no phone on the table, or hair clip as was peculiar to the jovial lady.

Where did everyone go?

Athena stopped in her tracks, not sure if she should continue toward her office, or return to the reception and ask the few nurses she had seen around what was going on.

There were patients waiting downstairs, in the reception, needing to be attended to. And the doctors were nowhere to be found!

She rubbed the centre of her forehead slowly, releasing a tough breath. She really wasn’t in the mood for this. The only reason she had come in here today was to check out the secret lab before it was moved, check in on a few patients, and then she would be back home checking on Spider.

It was almost noon and the fellow wasn’t yet awake.

But he should have been dead. Athena mused, biting her lips, her thoughts sidetracking from the query of doctors’ locations.

She had checked Spider’s vitals, lip color, amongst other things, and the fellow should have been dead, considering the other signs she had noted as she treated him. But somehow, he was alive.

Forward or backward?

The question slithered into her mind when a sound of a door closing broke into her thoughts. Exhaling wearily, she threw a flitting glance at Ciara’s table, and then moved to her office.

When she opened the door, her heart almost went away from her chest, when cheerful screams erupted in her private space, and filled her ears.

"Happy Birthday Doctor Athena!!!!!"

Athena, clutching her chest, scowled at her secretary who was laughing in the company of other doctors, nurses... it seemed everyone was here. She could see a VIP patient. And there was Herbert too.

A surprise?

Athena was still shell-shocked and a tad bit confused as she shook hands with a plastic smile on her lips. Today was her birthday? She had forgotten, and so did the people at home.
