My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 472

"You can still laugh?" Athena glanced at him. "If it festers and gets infected, you might lose your hand."

"You handled it so well; it definitely won't get infected." Byron believed in her even more than he did in himself.

Athena tended to the wound.

"My child is quite the handful. One day she's getting into a scuffle with a goose and injuring herself; the next she's taking a tumble off his skateboard or inline skates. I'm afraid the servants won't handle it properly, so I take care of it all myself," she said flatly.

Byron was surprised.

Then he remembered that she had a daughter.

As he listened to her gentle tone, Byron's heart softened. "Fighting with a goose?"

"Yes," Athena replied, "Rose spoils her and sets up a special garden to keep all sorts of animals. The first thing she does every morning is go around greeting each little creature. That goose was bought from the market, meant to be eaten, but when she saw it, she cried so hard that we couldn't bear to eat it, so we kept it."

Byron listened quietly.

He could picture that lively and kind-hearted child in his mind.

She was just like Mia.

"The very next day, she got into a fight with the goose and got bitten in the arm. Rose was so angry she stewed the goose that night."

Athena couldn't help but find it amusing even now.

Mia later found out the goose had been stewed.

But she was only sad for a few seconds. With tears in her eyes, she said sorry to the goose and had its meat.

From then on...

All poultry on the island had to be taken care of.

Rose really didn't want Mia to become friends with chickens or ducks again.

"She's so adorable," Byron said softly.

Athena looked up at him.

But she quickly looked away and nodded. "Yes, she really is adorable. Everyone who meets her likes her."

"I will too!" Byron declared.

Athena made no comments.

He indeed would.

"It's done."

She had wrapped the wound with fresh gauze. "Don't get it wet or let it open again. I will be too busy tomorrow to take care of you."
