Without hesitation, Athena freed up a hand and called Liam.
"Mr. Carson, Mr. Crawford suddenly feels a little unwell. I want to take him back. Please disperse the crowds."
Liam also felt that something was wrong with Byron.
After hearing this, he immediately agreed.
Fifteen minutes later, Athena took Byron into the car.
She didn't ask the driver but drove home herself.
Athena took Byron directly back to the room.
She asked Byron to sit down on her favorite sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine. Didn't I say that? Just treat the disease if you're sick. It's not a big deal. We have plenty of money and can hire the best experts!" Athena squatted in front of Byron.
Her soft but somewhat cold hand gently caressed his pale cheek.
Byron's eyes were very red, so he looked aggrieved and sick.
When Athena thought there was another Byron, her heart seemed to have been stabbed repeatedly with a knife.
"Can you tell me when he appeared?" Athena asked softly.
Byron looked at her.
"The earliest time was when I first arrived in Northern Canakey. He just stood there and looked at me. He didn't speak or come near but asked me to listen to the sound of dripping water." Byron's voice trembled. "I know it was an illusion. It's clear!"
"Okay." Athena smiled and held his hand tightly, "Although I am not a professional, it is good to distinguish clearly, which means your symptoms are not serious."
Although Athena said so, today, Byron suddenly ran to her in a hurry, which meant he could no longer distinguish between illusion and reality.
"The day Mia fell into the water, he became different. He started talking to me and taunting me." Byron held Athena's hand tightly. "I know what he is. He was removed from my body by me. The part that I don't want! He is selfish, narrow-minded, cruel... and has made you suffer a lot of injustice and pain. I don't like him and don't want him! I only want him to disappear!"
Athena watched and listened.
What her grandma said to her before in Northern Canakey lingered in her mind like a curse.
"Take me to the doctor. I want him to disappear!" Byron looked at Athena with a tone that was almost pleading.
"Byron, calm down." Athena coaxed him.
"You don't know that he is getting more and more powerful. He couldn't touch me before, but he almost pushed me back from the stairs that day. If Logan hadn't appeared in time..."
Athena was shocked.
"If he can push me down, he can hurt you, Mia and Aiden!" Byron looked anxious and in pain.
