Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Conscious II

Athena choked on her food, coughing so hard that her sides ached greatly. She dropped the food on the bed and held her sides as if to quell the pain. How could she have forgotten the impact of the car accident on her body? But would one blame her? Hearing the names of those devilish twins was enough to do that to anyone.

"Athena, what’s the problem?" Gianna asked, handing her a bottle of water, at a loss with the children, who had long abandoned their food and hurried toward their mother when she started coughing.

"Did you just say Matthew and Mary?" Athena asked after taking a gulp of water. "They are supposed to be countries away. How are they here, in this city?"

Gianna’s brow furrowed. "Didn’t you hear me earlier? Ewan sent them. Do you know them?"

Athena’s brow raised to her hairline. She hadn’t heard Ewan’s name earlier, or rather, the mention of the twins’ names had successfully erased his name from her hearing nerves. "Why would he do that? Shouldn’t he be recuperating?" She asked, ignoring Gianna’s last question as she picked up the takeout again.

Gianna shrugged. "I don’t know. I just got the info from Aiden when the children and I arrived this morning. He can fill you in when he arrives. For now, just eat and take your..."

Gianna’s eyes widened when she didn’t see the drugs that had been kept on the tray on the stand. She immediately looked at Nate and Kate. "Where is the drug that Doctor Mary kept there?"

Nate and Kate remained silent, their heads bowed in shame. After all, Gianna had trusted them to behave while she was away.

"Don’t be too hard on them, Gianna," Athena spoke, seeing Gianna’s hot glare on her two children. "I pushed down the drugs unknowingly. It’s probably aspirin. We can get another one. Besides, I am okay. I don’t feel headaches..."

"But you held your sides when you just coughed!" Gianna interrupted, sighing heavily. She stood up from the chair and walked toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Athena asked her, feeling for her children, whose heads were still bowed. She hoped their mood wasn’t ruined.

"To get another set of drugs," Gianna replied, and left the room.

"Eat up, Nate, Kate. Don’t beat yourselves up. You know, your Aunt Gianna is just tired..." Athena said, turning to her children, gesturing to the takeouts.

"But we promised her..."

"It’s okay, Nathaniel. I promise that she won’t be angry with you once she is back. You can eat your food."

Nathaniel nodded, picking up his food again with Kathleen.

Times like this, they really act their age, Athena thought, taking a mouthful of food.

A knock sounded on the door then, alerting the three occupants to a visitor that wasn’t Gianna or Aiden.
