She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

She Outshines 393

Chapter 393

Everything seemed to be back on track.

After half a month of classes, Athena realized that Joy had not made any moves to approach the Donovan family, so she decided to take a leave of absence from school, preparing to retreat to her physics research base for a few months. Before leaving, she met with Matthew and told him, "While I'm away, please keep an eye on the Donovan family whenever you can."

Though Matthew did not say anything, and Athena did not ask him any questions or do any investigations, she could sense that her family's successful business ventures had likely received help from someone influential. The only person she could think of with both the capability and motivation to assist them was one individual.

Matthew was already used to her disappearing for long stretches of time. Without hesitation, he reassured, "Go ahead, do what you need to do. Stay as long as you want. I'll make sure nothing happens to the Donovan family in your absence." "Thank you." Athena smiled warmly, but after a moment's hesitation, she leaned in close to Matthew and whispered in his ear, "Be extra careful..."

Matthew was surprised but not alarmed. "Got it. I'll be careful."

Athena smiled mysteriously. "Since you're so supportive of me, I'll give you a reward."

"Oh?" Matthew was looking forward to it. "What reward?"

Athena took out two bottles of pills. "This bottle is for Nicolas. He needs to take one pill a day. Although it won't completely restore his health, it will definitely improve his condition.

"This bottle is for your grandfather. He must take one pill every day. Although it can't restore his youth, it's definitely better than the needles he's using every day. The side effects are also less.

"Just say that you went to Dr. Annie many times and tried all kinds of methods to convince her to help. It took her a whole year to develop this medicine."

Matthew was quite a thorn in the side of his family-he had achieved a lot, but he also faced a lot of opposition.

He likely still needed the support of his father and grandfather

If Matthew presented these two bottles of medicine to them, they were bound to be moved and would, in turn, offer him even more support in various ways.

Matthew knew Athena's intentions and did not argue. He put away the two bottles of medicine. "I know how precious these two bottles of medicine are. I will definitely make the best use of them." He pressed his right hand on his left chest and said deeply, "I will remember your feelings even more."

Athena covered her burning face with both hands and stammered, "I-it's good that you know it. You don't have to say it..."

The next day, Athena boarded a private jet headed for her research base, carrying a huge box packed with homemade treats from her mom.
