Athena accompanied Rose for a long time.
After Rose took medicine and fell asleep, Athena went back to her room.
She took out her phone and replied to Byron's message.
Soon, his video call came.
Athena picked it up.
Byron was still working overtime.
They chatted for a long time.
Athena began to doze off.
Seeing her drowsy appearance, Byron found she was endearing.
"Thea," he called softly.
Athena responded vaguely.
"I miss you," Byron said.
Athena was in a trance.
The habits of the past five years were still within her memory.
She responded sweetly with instinct, "I miss you too."
Byron froze immediately.
"Be good. I'll pick you up soon," he said more gently and firmly.
There was no movement from Athena.
Her breath gradually became even.
She fell asleep.
Byron didn't hang up the phone.
He processed the documents as usual. When he was tired, he glanced at Athena, feeling refreshed instantly.
Byron had never been so happy as he had been these few days.
When he first thought of breaking off the engagement, he expected countless hidden dangers and huge losses, so he immediately perished his thought.
But now, when Byron really started to do it, he realized Athena was more important than those losses and hidden dangers.
Early the next morning, a call woke Athena up.
She took the phone and saw it was Maeve.
Maeve was Athena's former neighbor, who used to live in Hugo Alley.
