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

Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Secret Lab III

Athena dropped her phone on the table harsher than was necessary, her frustration beating against her head, pulsing through her fingers.

She clenched them into fists, then struck the table forcefully and cursed under her breath. "Damn!"

She had just gotten off the phone with a cluster of government officials regulating the medical aspect of the state. They were convinced the hospital had been careless—reckless even—endangering the lives of patients.

Where was Herbert? Athena wondered with irritation, snatching her phone back up. He should have been the one fending the bulls away, not her. Why had he left her to shoulder all of it?

She dialed his number. No answer. She tried again—this time, his phone was switched off. Her brows drew together. Was he in a meeting?

She tried Zane’s line instead. He picked up after two rings.

"Athena, how are you doing?" His jovial tone carried an ease that told her Ewan hadn’t yet updated him on the current situation.

"I’m fine, Zane. Or rather... I think I will be. How are you doing?"

There was a pause. A worried one. "What’s going on? Did something happen with Spider?"

Athena shook her head instinctively, then remembered she was on the phone. "No, not Spider...It’s the secret lab. I found it."

The silence that followed was heavy, curious, and charged.

"It was in the storage unit, Zane," she continued with a tired exhale, ruffling her hair in frustration. "How could I have missed it?"

"No, no, no." Zane’s voice sharpened. "Don’t do that, Athena. There was no way you would have known. Did you find anything else? Have you told my father?"

"Yes. He called the police and revoked the contracts with the twins—not that they’re anywhere to be found..."

"What do you mean?" she heard the faint sound of a door closing on his end. He had probably stepped into his office or another private space.

"Mary and Matthew have disappeared. From the data Susan sent me a few minutes ago, they’re completely off the radar. Cairo too... I’ve never even seen that girl before in my life."

The last words slipped out more like a mutter to herself.

"Who is Cairo again?"

Athena sighed heavily. "Mary’s daughter."
