Chapter 110~ Her Rage

ATHENA

I freeze when Leah lunges forward, her voice sharp and wild, slicing through the

tense silence like a blade, making everyone halt their movements.

Her eyes are full blazed, angry as she stands before me,

"I don't want Athena or her blood anywhere near my son!"

The words hang in the air, loud, raw, and cruel.

Every head in the waiting room turns.

I slowly pull my hand back from Alex's arm as if I've been burned.

"What?" I whisper, my voice barely audible.

He's a child for crying out loud. Even I who hates both his parents, put that hate aside, and played with him.

"Leah!" Ariana gasps beside her, eyes wide in horror.

Even the nurse holding the clipboard is shocked by the outburst.

One would think I pushed the child myself.

“Why?” I ask quietly, trying to keep my voice steady. "Why are you so angry at me for wanting to help?"

Leah's eyes spark, and she scoffs, folding her arms like she's shielding herself from something unseen.

"Don't act so innocent, Athena. You're always there. Always around. And now this happens?"

The pieces don't connect, at least not in the way she seems to think they do.
