From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 362

**TITLE: Her Rise 362**
**CONTENT: Chapter 362 The Invitation**

Beverly sat composedly across from Athena, her gaze steady and her voice unwavering as she declared, “I need to see a doctor.”

Athena, taken aback for a fleeting second, quickly pulled herself together. Setting aside her personal feelings about the woman in front of her, she adopted a professional demeanor and inquired, “What seems to be the problem?”

“My heart,” Beverly responded, the words spilling out without a moment’s pause.

Athena’s brow furrowed slightly as she processed the information. “Have you had any tests done before? If you possess the reports, could you please share them with me? It would greatly assist in understanding your condition more thoroughly,” she suggested, her voice maintaining an air of professionalism.

Though Athena’s exterior remained composed and polished, a flicker of irritation brewed beneath the surface.

What had prompted Beverly to seek her out now? Athena recalled vividly how Beverly had never held her in high regard, often attempting to steer Zaden toward other women, much to Athena’s frustration.

Since the fallout with Teri, the silence between Zaden and Beverly had become palpable, a chasm that had only widened.

As memories of Beverly’s harsh treatment of Teri flooded her mind, Athena’s expression hardened.

Regardless of the familial ties—Beverly being Teri’s grandmother—what she had done was utterly inexcusable. The incident had left Teri so deeply traumatized that she had withdrawn into silence, her vibrant spirit dimmed. It was only after Athena had taken her to a summer camp in Brookdale, encouraging her to connect with others, that Teri had begun to emerge from her shell.

It was clear that Beverly wasn’t truly there for a medical consultation; she had come unprepared, devoid of any relevant reports.

“I’ve had tests done before,” Beverly admitted, a frown creasing her brow, “but I forgot to bring the results.”

Daisy, standing just behind Beverly, felt a wave of panic wash over her.

How could Beverly expect to mend fences with Athena if she continued to present herself in such a stiff and aloof manner?

This was her opportunity to be warm, to use the appointment as a stepping stone toward easing the tension that had long existed between them. Perhaps, with Athena’s guidance, Beverly could even salvage her relationship with Zaden.

Daisy discreetly nudged Beverly, a silent reminder to soften her approach.

Clearing her throat, Beverly finally seemed to remember the purpose of her visit wasn’t to engage in conflict.

Her tone softened slightly. “I had my tests conducted at this hospital. You should be able to locate them in the system,” she said, attempting to bridge the gap.

“Alright, just a moment,” Athena replied, her fingers already dancing over the keyboard as she turned to the computer.

In a matter of seconds, she pulled up Beverly’s medical record, her eyes scanning the details with precision.

After reviewing the information, she noted that Beverly indeed had some heart issues, though they appeared to be manageable at this stage.
