Chapter 1660: Seeking Revenge for Mommy

On the other side, at Rohomes.

Athena half-lay on the bed, deep into the night. The floor-to-ceilingwindows were open, and the dark night spread out in all directions. Shegazed at the twinkling stars outside, the crescent moon hanging in thesky. Regardless of the beauty of the scenery, her eyes still held asinister darkness.

Cloud stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, making a phone call.

He deliberately lowered his voice, and as the conversation progressed,his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Occasionally, he glanced behind him at the woman lying on the bed,her face pale.

Last time, a bullet from Magnan had pierced her left scapula, and thewound had not healed yet. Although it had stopped bleeding, the painremained. It would take a hundred days for such injuries to recover, andit might not fully heal for a while.

Athena held her left shoulder, as she often experienced pain at night,preventing her from falling asleep.

And all of this was thanks to Joyce.

She clenched the bedsheet tighter and tighter, her hatred almostgrinding her teeth to pieces.

Damn Joyce, she made her endure this extreme pain.

She vowed to make Joyce pay for it. To make her suffer athousandfold, ten thousandfold. She wanted to crush Joyce to dust.Otherwise, the deep resentment in her heart would never be resolved.Cloud finished the call and walked over, seeing Athena sweating fromthe pain.

His brows furrowed deeply. The injury this time was indeed severe,something even a man would replace unbearable, let alone Athena, whohad been pampered since childhood. However, he also knew thatJoyce had hesitated at the time. She didn't know their identities or thepower they belonged to, and she was wary of them being foreigners.That was why she didn't aim for Athena's head.

Otherwise, a headshot would have been within Joyce's capabilities.Athena was now practically a corpse.

"Suzuki, give me an injection,” Athena squeezed her arm, her nailsdeeply embedded in her flesh.

"No, excessive use of opioids can lead to addiction. Endure it for awhile. You'll get through it,” Cloud sat down next to Athena. "Athena,think about it. You've been in a coma for so many years. What did youwake up for? The things you need to do haven't even started. Youabsolutely cannot become dependent on medication.”

"What nonsense! If I tell you to give me an injection, then give it to me,"Athena roared in anger, her teeth chattering.

The pain was the most difficult to endure at night.

Cloud got up and opened the safe, taking out a box of opioid painkillersand gave one to Athena. At the same time, he handed her a glass ofwater. "Take this, it will provide some relief, and it has the least harm toyou."

“I don't want this. It's useless," Athena raised her hand in anger.

The teacup was instantly knocked over and water spilled all over thefloor.

Cloud furrowed his brow. He kneeled down, picked up the medicationfrom the floor, and tore off some paper towels to clean up the spilledwater.

“You can't have the injection,” he said firmly. “You're already on theverge of addiction. Endure it for now. It's within your tolerance, and youcan't rely on medication.”

“I can't endure it," Athena's anger flared, and she swept everything offthe bedside table, making a mess on the floor.

Actually, it wasn't that she couldn't endure it.

She was just too infuriated and couldn't swallow her pride, which madethe sensory pain feel even worse.

The loud noise disturbed Iris, who was sleeping next door.

She got up from her bed and gently pushed open the door. She sawthe mess on the floor and shrank back in fear. Then she noticedAthena's contorted face, which frightened her even more.

She had never seen Athena in such a terrifying state. In her impression,Athena had always been gentle and kind to her.

Standing at the door, she didn't dare to move forward, but she was alsoworried. She stood there, fidgeting with her hands.

Athena caught sight of Iris standing by the door. Immediately, herexpression changed, and she took a deep breath, forcing herself tosmile. She waved at Iris.

"Did we wake you up? Come here."

Iris timidly walked forward, seeing that Athena's expression was gentle,and only then did she dare to climb onto the bed and sit next to Athena."Mommy, are you in pain?" the soft little hand gently touched Athena'sbandaged wound.

Athena nodded. "Yes, it hurts a lot.”

Cloud handed her another painkiller, and this time Athena didn't refuseor throw a tantrum. She swallowed the medication.

"Who hurt mommy?" Iris's face flushed with anger.

"Yeah, if Iris replaces out who hurt me, will you seek revenge for me?"Athena's eyes flashed with a hint of sinister intent. She reached out andtousled Iris's hair.

"Of course! I will make her taste the pain mommy felt!" Iris saidearnestly.

Athena smiled wickedly. Good, Iris was completely under her control.From the moment she opened her eyes, she was the first person Irissaw, and afterwards, it was always her. She arranged various teachersto train Iris.

She discovered that Iris had great talent. She learned to read quickly,had a strong aptitude for mathematics, and had a sharp business mindat such a young age. She was shrewd and good at reading people'sexpressions and words. It seemed she inherited this from Luther.Moreover, Iris had a proud and stubborn personality. Once she madeup her mind, it was difficult to change it. This trait was very similar toLuther. In short, Iris was a replica of Luther.

Currently, Iris was completely influenced by her, which gave Athenagreat control over her.

Athena took out her phone, opened the photo album, enlarged apicture of Joyce, and handed it to Iris.

"Look, remember her face. She is the one who hurt me. She is the badperson.”

Iris took Athena's phone and looked at the person in the photo, tryinghard to memorize her appearance.

"I remember, mommy. She made mommy suffer like this. She's sowicked! I won't let her go," Iris said with determination.

Athena's smile grew evil. She tightly embraced Iris and kissed hercheek. "Good girl, mommy didn't raise you in vain. You must seekrevenge for mommy."

"Yeah," Iris nodded her young head.

"Alright, go to sleep. Uncle and I still have things to discuss," Athenarubbed Iris's hair and looked at her affectionately, her smile alluring."Okay, mommy, you should sleep early too. When you're asleep, youwon't feel the pain anymore," Iris slid off the bed and skipped towardsthe door.

As she closed the door, she turned around and waved to Athena.

The moment the door closed.

Athena's expression instantly changed, and her smile disappeared inan instant.

In its place was a sinister and cold look.

"Suzuki, what did you say on the phone just now?" Athena asked.Cloud crossed his arms. "I received some information. Luther andJoyce have arrived in Mufron and have been to the cemetery. I'm sorry,the people monitoring them have been a bit lax recently and overlookedthis.”

Athena's lips curled up, a smile as sinister as hell. "It doesn't matter,they should know by now. Let them investigate, no need to hide.Especially from Luther.”

She couldn't help but touch her injured shoulder.

She had to recover quickly.

The show was about to begin, and she couldn't miss it.
