Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Finding Morgan IV

Ewan couldn’t even nod to accept Athena’s thanks; his neck was stiff, and his back was still burning.

There must be an injury there. He thought, trying and succeeding to lift his thumb to give her a thumbs-up.

Athena’s smile was sad as she watched this.

She wished she could get rid of the pain she knew was assailing the man before her, the man who had shielded her so that she wouldn’t die or suffer.

She hadn’t been aware of his intention when he had commanded her to dive, but she knew when she had woken up, it was with a startling pain in her back.

Only it hadn’t come from the fire or any injury, but from the weight of him partly lying on her back.

Before she could cry out in anguish and worry, hearing his faint breathing, the agents who had driven with them here had arrived and hurriedly pushed her to the side, rescuing her first.

They hadn’t allowed her to fawn over Ewan, despite her reminding them of their place repeatedly; they had promised to bring Ewan later, and thus she had stopped her verbal attacks.

Now looking at him, she was not sure what to think of his act of bravery. Duty, or something else?

"It’s my duty to keep you safe—for the children, for giving me a second chance at friendship, and to live a life free from manipulation. I owe everything to you. We are not even. Me saving you is just... what I should do." Ewan spoke, right on cue.

Athena said nothing at first, staring at the man keenly.

Duty.

She could now understand the earlier fixation on keeping Fiona safe. She could see now why Ewan had chosen to stay blind to Fiona’s excesses—he could see them but chose to ignore them; Duty.

Believing that Fiona had saved his life, that she had helped him grow well enough and had given him room in her family, had fueled his sense of duty toward her. Coupled with the abusive medications, he had been a goner.

There had been no turning away from that until the light of truth shone clearly enough with evidence.

Athena nodded slowly, finally comprehending that Ewan, at this point, could do anything for her. She should feel happy about this, like Fiona had; she should be satisfied with this turn of events, but surprisingly, she wasn’t.

She was amazed by her own need; she was amazed that she wanted more than his dutifulness to her. She wanted...

Athena’s brows furrowed as she understood her line of thought. She cursed, confusing Ewan, who had been watching her all this while, before she faced front.

Maybe the fire fried some part of my good senses. She needed to rest and rejuvenate herself. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When they got to the hotel, which was only a few meters from the street, Athena stopped the agents from helping her out of the vehicle, pointing at Ewan instead.

"He is the one in need of your assistance. As you can see, I’m fine. I just need to change out of these clothes. I smell like barbecue."

She muttered the last sentence; however, it was loud enough to be heard by the men, and they couldn’t help but chuckle before doing her bidding.
