Athena contemplated the final consequence of the results she had in her hand, concerning Ewan’s brain issues, and sighed resignedly.
There was no way around it. She thought sadly, having made calls to various brain specialists around the globe.
She deliberated telling the news to Ewan, but changed her mind.
From the way he had responded earlier, she was sure he would refuse to be tested and treated now, citing the company as an excuse.
Exhaling softly, she rested her back squarely on the chair, and let it swirl her.
What should she do?
Her mind chose that moment to tease her. Why was she worrying about Ewan? Athena pouted. It was a doctor’s sense of duty. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Just an insistent, passionate sense of duty.
Her phone dinged with a text.
She quickly reverted the chair to its center position, and picked her phone from the table.
It was a text from Kathleen.
“Mom, when are you coming back? We miss you!”
Athena smiled, her sad countenance lifting immediately.
Pushing thoughts of Ewan aside, she quickly got up from her seat, after checking the large minimalist clock on the wall opposite her.
She had spent more time at work today than she had promised her children!
Because it was the weekend, she had promised she would return carlier, but being the president of the entire Whitman hospitals wasn’t a joke.
Her time was easily swamped with duties here and there.
She even brought work home sometimes!
She didn’t like the development at all.
She would need to have another sit down with Zane and his father.
They needed to po
through the clauses in the contract again.
As she packed her stuff into her work bag, she texted her friend, Chelsea, to know if the latter had got the hair strand in one piece–she had a courier do the job.
She received a text right away.
I did! See you soon, my love!”
Athena was amused.

See you soon? Chelsea made it seem like they were in the same country!
Well, if there was someone unpredictable, it was her close colleague–one of the good friends she had made during her time in exile.
Athena shut down her laptop, closed the drapes of the large windows, and slung her bag across her shoulder.
She was already walking toward her door when she heard the first shout.
She stopped, wondering what was going on. Did Alfonso and his reckless daughter come back again?
Athena frowned, and continued walking. If they came back to make trouble, she would make sure that the security men showed them no mercy.
However, as she neared her door, she discovered that the male shouting wasn’t Alfonso. It was
Zack Moore!
Athena halted for the second time.
Sighing tiredly, she rubbed her forehead weakly, laying mental curses on the male behind the
door.
At least Alfonso was wise enough to pretend, and fast to scurry away when she told him to because he knew she owed him nothing, but Zack Moore was a different case.
He believed she owed him something.
He felt entitled to her attention and help.
His sheer arrogance was sickening!
