Chapter 2069 I Won't Go
At four a.m.
Athena was finally feeling sleepy.
Instead of driving home, she reclined in her seat, pulling the down jacket from the backseat over her. Soon, she was deep in sleep.
For several years, she had traveled extensively.
She had mastered the art of sleeping soundly on planes and cars.
As she woke up,
It was broad daylight.
The first thing she did upon awakening was to check her phone for updates on Byron's surveillance.
The surveillance app had another feature.
It allowed her to see Byron's health data for the day, his meal intake, and medication details.
The next day, at Ennis' urging, Byron managed to eat some liquid foods, but he remained agitated.
For the first time, he requested to see her.
Ennis gently declined, causing Byron to fly into a rage.
But shortly after, seeing the mess around him, Byron seemed to come back to his senses. He apologized to Ennis, pleading with him to let him see Athena. He claimed he knew Athena hadn't left Moniai yet and begged to see her, even if just for five minutes.
Yet again, Ennis gently declined.
He tried to engage Byron in a conversation about his hallucinations.
After being turned down twice, Byron withdrew into himself.
He stopped talking to everyone.
Athena was unwilling to shutting off the app.
She was about to get out of the car and stretch when she heard arguing voices.
"Ennis, I've been working under you, and I don't want to transfer to Mailand!"
"Rebecca, I've told you, this is a great opportunity for you. Your college major was marketing. It's a waste for you to be in the lab with me. Ms. Stella has arranged an excellent place for you. Ivy League graduates are dying to get in..."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
