Chapter 1916: Heading in Different Directions

As Torrance left with Kiki, about five minutes later, Felix and Vicki returned to the ward. They had just been to the doctor's office to see the CT scan of Westbrook's brain. They found Joyce, Luther, and Anderson already in the ward.

"Hey, you're here. Why don't you sit down? The doctor said it's not a big problem. Westbrook will wake up soon. Kids recover quickly and won't have any aftereffects in the future," Vicki greeted them.

"I'd like to stand for a while," Joyce said, reaching out to hold Vicki and looking her up and down. "Do you feel okay? Any unusual symptoms? Do you want to get a check-up while you're at it?"

Vicki smirked, "I'm not that fragile. Do I look like there's something wrong with me? Constantly getting check-ups, I'm almost turning into something."

Felix, displeased, interjected, "Joyce, you really should talk some sense into her. She's never treated herself as a pregnant woman. She's been busy all this time. We've already been back once to take care of all the aftermath. Just an hour ago, we rushed back to the hospital, and she's off to the doctor's office to see the scans, now waiting for Westbrook to wake up."

Luther raised an eyebrow, "It's your luck that Vicki takes charge."

"I've been worried too, on tenterhooks all the time," Felix said helplessly.

"You can stop worrying, I don't need you to manage me," Vicki said, pushing Felix away. "If Westbrook doesn't wake up, you can go home and rest tonight, I'll stay at the hospital."

"You see, she's showing off again. Of course, I'll stay," Felix grumbled, "She never pays attention to her own health."

"Alright, you two, stop bickering. Let's get Carlo to come and watch over the night. I feel like Westbrook and Carlo have a close relationship," Joyce suggested. "Both of you, whoever it is, need good rest tonight."

Felix thought for a moment, "Alright. I'll make a call in a bit."

Vicki looked around, "Has Torrance taken Kiki back home already?"

"Yeah, they just left. The child was quite scared, it's better for her to go home tonight," Joyce replied.

"Oh, by the way, Torrance just told Kiki that the bad woman who kidnapped them is dead? But has there been any progress on Christian's side?" Joyce asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Yes, I got a report from the person I left with Christian. Athena suffered extensive severe burns, was taken to an underground hospital, and the doctors judged that there was no chance of saving her, so Christian personally gave Athena an injection. Five minutes later, Athena passed away. She has been taken to the morgue," Vicki said in a casual tone, as though discussing the weather.

Joyce paused, hearing the news of Athena's death. Though she felt it was expected, she was still slightly shocked. After all the entanglement, Athena would no longer harm anyone.

Luther remained calm and silent. This was the ending Athena deserved.

"Is the news really true? Could it be false?" Felix was a bit uneasy, fearing that Athena might return. Dealing with such a reckless woman was truly difficult.

"Absolutely true," Vicki glanced at Felix, "When you returned to the Saunders family, I left for a while. In fact, I personally went to the morgue to see, Athena has indeed died. I met Christian and chatted with him for a few moments. Christian said that after the cremation tomorrow, he will have someone take Athena's ashes back to Rohomes. She doesn't deserve to be buried in the Ballard family's cemetery. On the urn containing her ashes, he will engrave the name Athena, her real name. From where she came, back to where she will go, cutting off the last tie between him and Athena. I think that's Christian's intention."

Joyce fell silent for a moment.

She asked, "Vicki, do you think Christian is doing okay emotionally? Or should I go visit him in a few days?"

Luther immediately frowned, wary, "Why would you go see him? As a man, he won't be unable to cope."
