The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

After returning to Snowdrop Wing, Athena remained unsettled. For some reason, the desperate cries of that woman kept echoing in her mind

She sat there, lost in thought, motionless for two full hours,

Trina brought over a cup of hot drink, placed it beside her, and said softly, “Miss, have some calming drink.”

Athena murmured, seeming momentarily dazed

It had been ages since she last drank this, back at the Monson family, she used to have it often.

As a child, she suffered frequent abuse and was often haunted by nightimates.

Lloise would order the servants to brew this drink for her.

But each time, she barely had a moment to sit before hurrying off to care for Willow, whose health was delicate.

Seeing the drink again, Athena felt a bit dazed.

“Why did you make this for me?” Athena asked.

Trina replied nervously. “You nearly fell into the river today I thought you must have been frightened and needed something to calm your nerves.”

At this, Trina grew flustered. “If you don’t like it, I won’t make such decisions on my own again.

As she moved to take the tea away, Athena gently held her arm “No, Freally like t

She gave Trina the faintest, almost imperceptible smile, then liked the cup and sipped the tea slowly.

The drink was hot, and as it slid down, its warmth seemed to melt the ice in Athena’s chilled heart,

Even her maid knew to care for her, while those so–called family members only ever blamed and used her

Her heart was a swirl of emotions. Looking at this cold “home,” she steeled her resolve to leave this place

The next day, Athena went to visit Margaret.

After a period of treatment, Margaret’s health had gradually stabilized.

She no longer looked frail and sickly, her cheeks were rosy and glowing. When Athena arrived, Margaret was playing with a white Pekingese

The dog, round and white like a snowball, crouched at her feet.

It kept pawing at her trouser leg, making Margaret burst into hearty laughter.

She picked up a piece of jerky treat and fed it to the dog, saying, “Lucky, here’s some jerky for you.”

After getting the treat, the puppy even performed a little begging pose for Marganet, making her laugh so much she could hardly close her mouth.

Seeing how well Margaret had recovered, Athena couldn’t help but smile as well

Her eyes crinkled like crescent moons, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look just as she always had

“Athena, you’re here.” Margaret beckoned her over. Athena walked up and settled beside her, asking curiously, “Where did this little puppy come from?”

Margaret chuckled. “That Osborne boy sent it to cheer me up. He’s quite thoughtful.”

So it was Michael who sent it.Athena’s smile dimmed slightly.

Noticing her reaction, Margaret gave her hand a reassuring just and said teasingly, Theard you two went out together yesterday?

When they were children, Michael had practically grown up at the Monson family, eating and sleeping alongside Athena and here.

Margaret had long regarded him as her own grandson.

She had watched Michael grow up, and naturally, he saw Margaret as his grandmother too.

Athena felt a wave of gratitude that he would find somet

I something i

to cheer up Margaret.

At least, when I leave, she won’t be alone.” Athena thought

Not wanting to upset Margaret, Athena nodded and said, “I was with Mr. Mcgee, along with others.

By “others,” she was referring to Michael, Willow, and Nicolas

The bride, of course, could only be Willow,

So she said earnestly to Athena, “My dear child, tell me the truth, do you not want them to get married? if you’re unwilling, fight with my last breath to win this marriage back for you.”

She asked, “Are you really willing, or just saying so?”

Lucky eagerly pressed up against her, rolled at her feet, and performed its begging pose for attention.

Amused, Athena chuckled and, imitating Margaret, offered Lucky a piece of jerky.

As the two chatted and laughed, a maid’s voice called out, “Lady Elose, Lady Willow”

Athena looked up to see Eloise entering with Willow by her side.

Willow’s gaze landed on Athena’s face, but she quickly looked away
