Chapter 76
Athena blinked and looked left and right. “Is Miss Donovan here? Where is she?”
Matthew said apologetically. “Sorry, Dr. Annie. I saw your back and thought you looked like Miss Donovan, so I called her
name”
Athena nodded and said. “I see. Maybe I do look a bit like her
Matthew walked up to her and extended his hand, saying, “Dr. Annic, thank you for curing my sister. I’m deeply grateful for
Athena hesitated for two seconds before shaking his hand.
In reality, Dr. Annie always wore gloves when shaking hands with others to avoid anyone noticing anything unusual about her hands, such as the fact that she was just a teenager who was not even eighteen yet.
This time, she didn’t wear gloves. As their hands touched, both felt a subtle spark pass between them, sending a ripple of emotion straight to their hearts. Their eyes met, and it was as if an unspoken connection sparked between them.
This sensation finally made Mathew confirm that Athena was indeed Dr. Annie because only Athena had made him feel that
However, he didn’t expose her. After shaking her hand for three seconds, he let go of her hand and said politely, “Dr. Annie, shall we go down together?”
“Okay” Athena hesitated for a moment and asked curiously, “Will you tell others that Athena and I look alike?”
The current situation was that if Matthew didn’t blow her cover, they would remain friends.
It wasn’t that Athena was deliberately pretending to be mysterious or afraid of trouble, she just wanted to enjoy her time as an ordinary person as much as possible.
Her master once said to her before leaving, “One day, you will shine brightly, admired by thousands, and you’ll realize how precious a peaceful and simple life is. I hope that when you reach the pinnacle of success, you’ll still be able to live like an ordinary person.
She had always kept those words in mind.
Even though she possessed knowledge far beyond her time, she still attended kindergarten, primary school, and middle school like an ordinary child, and next, she would go to college.
Matthew replied, “No, I won’t”
Athena said, “I hope either Miss Donovan or Dr. Annie can focus on their own paths without being disturbed by external
factors”
Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined. Fame at a young age combined with great wealth, is not always a good thing. In extreme cases, like his sister, and in lighter cases, like what the Donovan family had been through recently.
However, in Athena’s opinion, the Donovan family would have to adapt to this new life sooner and later.
She was not surprised by Mathew’s answer and said with a smile “Thank you Let’s go eat. I’m starving The two of them walked down the curved staircase together.
In the hall, soothing music was playing in the background and an array of dishes was laid out beautifully

Chapter 76.
Everyone was dressed in formal attire. They were chatting and laughing as they moved about, enjoying the most relaxing and comfortable night they had had in days.
When Mathew and Annie showed up together, the crowd momentarily paused their conversations and looked at them.
Everyone thought they looked perfect together, like a couple out of a myth made for each other and could be celebrated as a cultural icon
However, these were people accustomed to grand occasions. They quickly composed themselves and stepped forward to greet the pair.
Louis was beaming with joy as if he had received the best news ever.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said passionately into the microphone. “Ms. Graham’s recovery is thanks to all of you, especially Dr. Annie and her team. Mr. Graham is deeply and sincerely grateful for your dedication. To show his appreciation, he has prepared a gift for everyone. Now, what exactly is this gift? Let’s welcome Mr. Graham to the stage to reveal it!”
Everyone gathered around and applauded enthusiastically.
In fact, apart from Dr. Annie’s team, the medical experts, nurses, bodyguards, and servants in the villa did not know the identity of their employer and patient until a few days ago.
All of them were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped, thinking, ‘Have I really been working for such big shots for five
years?
Matthew nodded at Athena walked up to the microphone and said politely, I’ve never been one for empty words. If Fm going to thank everyone, I’ll do it sincerely
His gaze landed on Athena, a smile playing on his lips. “I once said that if Dr. Annie was willing to treat my sister, I would give her the only existing Miracle 3.0. I’ve got the car ready”
An image of an off–road vehicle, not flashy but flawless in its design, appeared on the screen behind Matthew. In the video. he drove the vehicle off the top of a building, several dozen feet high.
The crowd gasped, thinking Matthew must be crazy. However, thick airbags popped out beneath the vehicle, cushioning its fall and allowing it to land without a scratch.
In another video, Matthew drove the vehicle off a rooftop again, but this time a parachute automatically deployed from the top, allowing the car to float gently and land steadily on the ground.
The audience erupted in applause.
A man shouted, “That’s truly a divine vehicle!”
Another man said enviously, “Ah, I want a car like that too!”
A new video appeared on the screen.
The screen shifted to another video, showing Matthew driving the vehicle near a pond. With a few taps on the control panel, four “legs” suddenly extended from the bottom of the car, growing longer until they fifted the vehicle high off the ground Then, the legs moved, as if walking, carrying the car steadily across the pond to the other side.
Everyone was amazed.
Matthew said, “There are many more features on the Miracle 3.0 which Dr. Annie can explore slowly after taking it home.”
He paused briefly and added, “Of course, I’d be more than happy to serve as Dr. Annie’s coach and test out all the functions together”
