Chapter 2024 Are You Going to Kill Athena?
Athena would later recount this moment with bitter regret, realizing her own recklessness.
She had known something was off with Byron, but before seeking out Ennis, she failed to instruct Dorian to keep a watchful eye on him and ensure he didn't wander off.
As she hurried through the dimly lit paths of an aging park, Athena found herself darting in and out of the light, her senses on high alert.
Though time had passed, the park remained much the same. The sprawling banyan tree still cast its long shadow over the peaceful lake.
The security guard pointed the flashlight at the lake anxiously and shouted, "He's drowning! He's going down!"
Uncertain if it was a coincidence or fate, the exact location where Byron had fallen into the water was the same as last time.
Without hesitation, Athena jumped into the dark lake, just as she had done before.
"Athena!"
Before falling into the water, she vaguely heard Logan's exclamation, but she couldn't care about anything else.
Her sole focus was ensuring that Byron would not die there.
Using the light from her flashlight, Athena witnessed Byron sinking slowly to the bottom of the lake and an overwhelming fishy smell filled her throat.
She swam towards him quickly and frantically, disregarding everything else.
The memory flashed before Athena's eyes.
Afterward, she rushed over to Byron, took hold of his hand, and swam with him towards the land.
In the interim, she heard multiple splashes in succession.
Athena's body had been weakened by childbirth and illness, so she was already a bit tired by the time she was almost close to the land.
Upon hearing the sound of the splashing water, Athena knew it must have been Dorian and Logan who had arrived.
She was just about to exhale in relief when Byron, who had his eyes shut tight, suddenly stirred. In an instant, before Athena could react, his arm gripped her arm.
