Chapter 1817: You Should All Just Die

On the other side.

Ever since being taken away by Zhang Long, Athena had been staying at Christian's villa to recuperate.

The bullet went through her shoulder. The surgery was just to suture it. The wound got infected and she ran a high fever for several days. She was delirious and muttering nonstop.

Christian had assigned a maid to specially serve and keep watch over Athena. He would come by to visit her from time to time.

The private doctor came every day to change Athena's dressings and give her IV drips. The infection was finally under control, but the pain issue remained unresolved.

That night, after the private doctor finished changing the dressings, he gave Athena an injection for the pain.

The maid Xiaoling helped clean the area around Athena's wound and wiped her body, changing her into clean clothes.

Due to the pain, Athena gradually fell into an unconscious sleep, her almost transparent eyelids tightly shut.

Christian waited outside for the private doctor.

Seeing Christian, the private doctor respectfully bowed to him, "Mr. Ballard, you were waiting for me? Please let me know if you have any instructions.”

Christian asked, "How is my sister's injury?"

"Mr. Ballard, I removed her stitches today. Don't let her move around these few days to avoid the wound reopening. Pay attention to a light diet. The wound will heal eventually. Your sister's most pressing issue now is that she has become addicted to painkillers. And the dosage has reached a rather high level that cannot be reversed.”

Christian frowned. He had noticed this problem too.
