Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Ego

"Really, Athena, you just escaped by a hair’s breadth a couple of hours ago, and you are already trying to loop yourself into another trouble?" Aiden asked, stepping into the room, followed by Gianna, after Mary and Matthew had angrily stormed past them—they had been eavesdropping.

Gianna was nonplussed, to say the least.

Athena snorted softly and turned away from them, toward her children, who also wore expressions of surprise on their faces.

"You can’t blame me. They just had to don those stupid airs of theirs in front of my children," She finally said, swinging her legs out of the bed, testing their strength by tapping them softly on the floor.

Aiden shook his head. "You should have just ignored them."

Athena cursed and swivelled to face him, glaring at him hotly. "Why are you sounding like you don’t know what those two are? Why did you even let them treat me?"

Gianna immediately walked toward the twins and hugged them to herself. Together, the trio watched Athena’s sudden outburst of anger, and Aiden’s unflinching gaze, which spoke of a man not backing down from this particular fight.

"Be reasonable, Athena! So you would have preferred to be dead? You would have preferred to be disfigured by other doctors, or maybe die before your favorites arrive from their far places, just because you didn’t want to be touched by Matthew and Mary?"

"I would have lasted until my trusted range of doctors arrived! Why would you even listen to Ewan?" Athena retorted, not backing down either.

Aiden flung his hands in frustration. "You wouldn’t have lasted if those two hadn’t been here any sooner. The doctors of your Whitman Hospital had almost rejected treating you because of your state! Don’t you understand? If Ewan hadn’t pulled the strings he pulled—I don’t know how he did it really—you would have left your children as orphans! So, can you put aside your ego for once and listen!"

Athena’s eyes flashed with anger as she stood to her feet, looking at herself from head to toe. "Please tell me there was a supervisor at least when they were doing their work?"

Aiden’s deep silence told her what she needed to know. She angrily walked up to him and jabbed her index finger against his chest—once, twice, four times in total—while glaring at him fiercely.

"You left me naked with them? Who says they hadn’t left something in me?!" She screamed up at Aiden’s face. "Damn you, Aiden! You know how despicable they are!"

"They didn’t. I tasked Finn to check after they were done."

Yet Athena wasn’t satisfied with that response. "I can’t believe you let them touch me."

Aiden sighed tiredly and placed his hands on Athena’s shoulders, but she shrugged them away.

"Can’t you let go of your grievances toward them for one day, at least as a ’thank you’ for saving your life? Because I did. There was no other choice. I even owe Ewan a thank you."

Athena scoffed at that. "Did you ask him how he was able to get them here on such short notice? We both know what those two are like. If anything, we should be worried about their payments."

"I’m sure Ewan can handle himself, especially since Sandro gave me the report that he is getting better. He is eating normally, too. Give him a few weeks, and he’ll be back to his normal weight." AIden stated calmly.
