Fiona stumbled backward in shock, her breath catching in her throat as she took in the sight of the twins sitting on a nearby bench, their legs crossed and faces a mirror of disdainful boredom.
They regarded her with an unmistakable air of superiority, but what truly sent her heart racing was the resemblance they bore to Ewan.
These were the children Morgan believed belonged to another man? Was he blind or just plain stupid?
So much anger bubbled within her, leading to the clenching of her fists tightly at her sides. How could Morgan be so oblivious?!
The twins, particularly the boy, were carbon copies of Ewan in his youth. The revelation made Fiona’s blood boil—as if she was seeing a vision of the future she had fought so hard to control. The very fact that Morgan had them at his disposal and had merely played a prank was beyond belief. He should have done away with them!
Suddenly, her hands itched with anxiety, and she scratched them nervously while continuing to watch the twins.
"Is she suffering from some disease, Mommy?" Kate asked, her innocent query cutting through the tension like a knife.
The distraction snapped Fiona out of her red(angry) haze, and she dropped her hands to her sides, casting one last glance at the twins before shifting her gaze to Ewan and then to Athena.
Were the twins Athena’s tools to reclaim Ewan’s affections? The thought ignited fresh angry tears in her eyes as dread settled over her.
What man could resist such a gift, especially a man like Ewan, who took duty and responsibility seriously? The realization hit her hard: she wasn’t even married to him yet. She felt utterly powerless.
"Probably, my dear." A pause. "Ewan, I’m sure she is here for you. You two should leave." Athena said finally, her words fanning the flames of Fiona’s fury.
Fiona looked at Ewan, and seeing the knowing in his eyes about the twins, she wailed in her mind but maintained a cool exterior.
"Is this why you came back?" She asked Athena, pointing at the children.
Ewan, however, wasn’t willing to entertain her drama. "Get out, Fiona!" he snapped.
"I won’t!" Fiona shouted back defiantly, surprising both Ewan and Athena.
Had he lost his authority? Ewan wondered, looking at Fiona with new eyes.
Athena, clearly exasperated with the unfolding theatrics, decided to put an end to it once and for all.
"Ewan, take your fiancée out of here. Or else, I’ll call the guards on you both since you’re bent on being a nuisance to the hospital community," She warned.
Ewan scowled beneath the weight of that double dose of insult. Him? A nuisance?
He inhaled sharply and stormed out of the laboratory without another word and without even bothering to collect the prescription Athena had left for him.
Fiona followed closely behind, shooting one last poisonous glare at Athena. "I will make sure you regret returning. The ball is already rolling."
Outside, she chose not to follow Ewan, sensing his simmering rage. Instead, she made her way to her father’s ward, after seeking directions from one of the nurses along the way.
"Dad, did you know that Athena’s children bear a striking resemblance to Ewan?" She asked immediately she stepped into the ward, her voice dripping with urgency.
Alfonso ignored his daughter’s selfishness.
She hadn’t even asked him how he was doing!
"Yes, I noticed today," He replied, his expression also reflecting surprise. "I was around when Ewan came around, I was around when she arrived too. I was shocked to say the least. When Zack told me about the twins, I thought they were from a husband or from one of her backers. Not Ewan. Did you know she was pregnant all those years ago?"
But now, seeing the twins’ knowing looks directed at Ewan, Fiona realized how foolish that assumption had been. Athena was unpredictable, and she had clearly played her cards close to her chest. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
