After wandering by the lake for a while, Athena didn't want to head home just yet.
Instead, they found themselves drifting into the comfort of Matthew's car, where they could escape the cold.
Matthew's luxurious Miracle, worth a fortune, was spacious and beautifully designed. Leaning back against the plush leather seats felt as inviting as a five-star hotel.
Athena drifted into a deep sleep, comforted by Matthew's presence, which filled her with both happiness and security.
But morning came too soon, signaling it was time for Matthew to head back.
"Aww..." Athena sighed, leaning against the car door with a pout. "I don't know when we'll see each other again."
With his sunglasses on and the car window half-open, Matthew flashed her a gentle smile. "Whenever Miss An wants to see me, I'll make it happen, as long as I can get away."
Her cheeks flushed as she bit her lip. "Okay, okay. You should get going. If I want to see you, I could always sneak over to find you."
Matthew didn't say anything more. He buckled his seatbelt and gave her another smile. "Goodbye."
Athena waved back at him, a swirl of emotions churning inside her. "Goodbye."
At Kitmore City International Airport, Joy stood at the security checkpoint, hugging her mother, Nellie. "Mom, you really should head back. David is still so young, and you can't leave him alone for too long."
Nellie sighed, her expression filled with regret. "I wanted to spend Christmas's with you, but now you're leaving. I feel terrible for not being there with you."
Joy smiled reassuringly. "Mom, I have so much schoolwork piling up. I barely have any free time, so you don't need to worry about me being lonely."
Hearing this only made Nellie feel guiltier. "I know you're under a lot of pressure, but you're still young. Make sure to have some fun and take breaks. Don't push yourself too hard."
During her time in Kitmore City, Joy had spent every day exploring the area with her mother, hardly finding time to study at all.
Meanwhile, Riley had been digging into the Donovan family background and learned that Athena had an older sister and a younger sister--her older sister was two years ahead of her, and the younger one had just turned five. Aside from that, the Donovan family had no other children.
Upon hearing this, Joy breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Joy wasn't connected to the Donovan family, everything would be fine.
Otherwise, she would have to take the risk of severing all ties between Joy and them.
"Mom, you know me too well," Joy said, a grin spreading across her face. "Pressure just lights a fire under me, and I genuinely thrive on those challenges."
Nellie studied her daughter, a mixture of pride and concern flickering in her eyes. She gently brushed her hand along Joy's arm and let out a soft sigh. "You work so hard, sweetie. It seems like your entire life revolves around school and work. I can't help but wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
Joy straightened, confidence radiating from her. "It's definitely a good thing."
The intercom crackled again, announcing that it was time for passengers to board the flight.
With a reluctant smile, Nellie said, "I need to get going now, but remember, if you ever need anything, just call me. Don't keep everything bottled up inside, okay?"
Joy smiled and waved, "Goodbye, Mom."
As she watched Nellie walk away through the boarding gate, the smile faded, and a shadow of worry crossed her face.
In secret, she had put Riley under hypnosis, making him believe he had thoroughly investigated the Donovan family when in reality, he hadn't looked into it at all.
Using her hacking skills, financial resources, and connections, she had scrubbed the internet of every image and report related to Zilvia, all to cover her tracks.
She hoped and prayed that Nellie or anyone else from her family wouldn't return to Kitmore City.
If they spotted Athena, it could stir up unwanted memories, and she'd be left to clean up another mess.
