Chapter 2012 What Child?
Athena didn't linger any longer. Taking Byron's arm, she left the hospital directly.
As it was nearing the time for Aiden and Mia to finish school, Byron said they would pick up the kids and go home together. Athena agreed.
Throughout the journey, she did her best to seem normal. However, Byron could still sense her unease.
Usually, they would pick up Mia first, but today, Athena and Byron went to get Aiden first.
Aiden was a bit stunned when he saw his parents waiting for him.
Byron waved to him with a smile. "Aiden, come quickly! We're going to pick up your sister together."
Usually taking his time, Aiden hurried over upon hearing this. "Didn't we agree to pick up Mia first? It's not good to let her wait alone."
Even though he said this, Athena could see that he was delighted.
"Dad, what happened to your hand?" Aiden's attention shifted to Byron's bandaged hand, his little face crinkling in concern.
"I was careless and got cut by a small ceramic shard in the bathroom," Byron bent down to explain to his son. "I'm sorry for making you worry, Aiden. I'll be more careful next time."
Aiden nodded, then looked at Athena, who quickly gave him a reassuring smile. But deep down, she wondered how she would explain Byron's illness to Aiden and Mia.
Not wanting his sister to wait, Aiden quickly got into the car.
By the time they arrived to pick up Mia, she had been waiting for about twenty minutes. However, this did not dampen Mia's spirits.
As soon as she saw Byron step out of the car, she sprinted towards him, shouting, "Daddy!"
Byron squatted down and gave her a big hug.
