A loud clang of metal on a hard surface nearby brought Athena out of the state of black and bleak unconsciousness into the realm of the living.
Eyes closed, she inhaled softly, allowing her brain to take a check of how her body system was, both inward and outward. The sharp pain in her left leg, as she tried to adjust herself, informed her it had been treated the best it could, and that she would be able to walk soon; this was because the pain disappeared as soon as it came.
Aiden must have hired as many doctors as he could. A laugh bubbled up to her lips at the worry that must have wrecked her friend, but she held it in as she heard noises around her now, her nerves restoring to default mode.
"Kathleen! See what you have caused now?!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Athena paused her lips at her son shouting at his sister. It rarely happened, and she was curious to see what the matter was. Slowly, she popped open her right eye, as the noise had come from that direction, and saw Nathaniel picking up a metal tray from the floor. She noted the two white pills close to it too and concluded that they were probably for headaches.
Athena squished her nose, intrigued, when she realized that the doctors had expected her to actually wake up around this time. Their confidence was quite interesting, and she was curious to know who her doctors had been.
She smiled when Nathaniel’s gaze connected with hers as he attempted to drop the tray on the stand beside her bed. A pause where shock fleeted past his features, and then the tray fell to the ground again with another clanging sound that buzzed loudly in Athena’s ears.
"Mom!!" The boy screamed, speedily climbing onto the bed, however conscious of not lying or stepping on his mother, for the bed was a large one. At his shout, Kathleen, who had been sulking earlier, lifted her head in shock too.
Seeing her mother’s smiling expression, she ran the remaining distance to the bed. She tried climbing, believing that what her brother could do, she could do too, but she kept flipping dramatically.
"Nate, help me!" She screamed in frustration when she failed for the third time, forgetting their earlier squabble.
Nathaniel stretched his hand, and holding her hand tight, drew her up to the bed. Beside them, Athena was watching with faint amusement.
"My son is a strong man now..." She said, ruffling his hair. But due to her posture, she couldn’t do much, so she shooed them away to a certain distance on the bed and then propped herself up, with a pillow behind her, against the headboard. Then she surveyed the room.
It was the most luxurious private room in the hospital, reserved for presidents and rulers of nations. If she was here, then Herbert had given the order. She didn’t know what to think of that.
"How are you doing, Mom? How are your legs?" Kathleen asked, crawling closer to her mother.
Athena stretched her hands toward them, but the twins hesitated to burrow under her arms, fearing for her safety.
Athena chuckled softly. "I am fine, you two. Don’t you see?"
