Chapter 1888: How Long Can She Live?

"Listen carefully, cousin," Athena, who had always been aware of Clint's cruelty, had to bow her head even to him. "I will do my best, but I need some support. I ask for your help and financial assistance."

"Hmph, you've got the nerve to ask me, proving you're not willing to fail. Fine, tell Aldis what you need," Clint replied.

With that, he hung up the phone. Athena stared at the now darkened satellite phone screen, her fingers clenched, wishing she could crush the phone in her hand. Always high and mighty, she had never found herself in such a situation. Warned by Clint, now she had to ask for everything, a complete humiliation.

Cloud's betrayal was a slap in the face. It must have been Vicki, the woman with a deep history with Cloud, who finally swayed him. She should have found a way to directly eliminate them both, to prevent any future trouble.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes. Even now, it wasn't too late. This time, she had to set a big trap, lure them all in, and take them down at all costs. She wanted them to know the price of angering her, a price no one could bear.

Tossing the satellite phone onto the sofa, Athena's body began to tremble violently, like leaves in the wind. The craving for drugs surged again. She had been holding back during the call, but now she couldn't bear it any longer. Without the medication, the torment would gnaw at her heart, making life unbearable. She knew she couldn't quit anymore. She was utterly ruined. Relying on painkillers to get through each day, how long could she keep going before her luck ran out?

"Medicine, give me the medicine! Go get it!" Athena yelled, commanding Aldis.

Aldis glanced at Athena, said nothing, and walked to the refrigerator. He retrieved a vial and a syringe from the cold storage, then returned to Athena's side. Skillfully, he drew the liquid into the syringe and handed it to her.

Athena was in a severe state, shaking uncontrollably, her body burning up and sweat beading on her forehead. She paid no attention to anything else. In front of Aldis, she removed her nightgown, revealing her flawless skin and almost bare body underneath.

Taking the syringe, she tried to inject it into her vein. But her trembling hands made it impossible to find the vein accurately.

"Help me," Athena's voice quivered as she grabbed Aldis's sleeve. "Quick, I'm in pain."

Watching Athena twist and convulse, Aldis frowned. With a single push, he inserted the slender needle directly into her vein, and as the medication flowed in, Athena visibly relaxed, her beautiful face gradually easing.

With the drug in her system, Athena lay back, sighing with relief. As the pain subsided, a lightness enveloped her, like being in a heavenly realm. Gradually, the intense heat and the pent-up turmoil within her body seemed to demand release.

Athena's eyes glazed over. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled Aldis to her, pressing his hand against her almost unclothed body, her voice seductive, "Do you want me? Hmm? Come here..."
