THE LONG LOST LOVE (T3L) - Chapter 85：Another Storm

The chopper landing at 8 pm. Athena wakes up when they almost landing at the Lee airbase behind the mansion.

She returns to the mansion with Zoro and Rachael, while the others went to the lab. After she takes a proper bath and changes her clothes, he went down and try to eat some food. She was really hungry. Luckily her dizziness has gone after she takes a bath. Nausea also starts to less a bit.

Ralph, Shon, Ali, and Zack are now currently at the lab, working on Athena’s dose. While Zoro and Rachael waiting for Athena to finish her dinner before they went home together.

Since it was night and Athena still not totally in a good condition, Zoro decides to drive them home. Rachael also decides to stay at Athena’s house and at least she can monitor her condition.

“Thanks, Z..” Athena said and smile to him. She sits on the back passenger seat where she can more relax, while Rachael on a front passenger seat beside Zoro.

“Okay, tell me if you need anything.”

Athena nod and walk out from the car leaving Rachael who still in the car.

“What about you? Aren’t you supposed getting off from my car too?” He said after Athena close the door.

Rachael shakes her head and unbuckles her seat belt. “Stingy” she mumbles.

Just when she wants to open the car door, Zoro immediately locks his car. He smiling inside his heart when seeing Rachael try to open it for a few times.

“Hey, open this lock.” She said with a bit annoyed voice.

“Sure, but promise me one thing.”

“Huh?”

“Do go and check on your wound after this. Get it to treat, or else it will leave a scar on your back.”

“Why do you care if it leaves a scar or not?” She rolled her eyes.

“Because you’re a girl. No boys want you if you had an ugly scar on your back.”

“Stupid reason.”

“Promise or not?”

“Is it just your concern or you are the ones who want to see my back and be that man?” She asks back.

“Man of my life.” She smiling.

“You’re damn shameless.” Zoro blushed a bit and he tries to hide his red face.

“Yes I am, so what? Unlock this door or I kiss you right now.” She threatens him and ready to lean over to him.

“Gosh..” He turns his face and unlocks the door.

Smiling, she opens the car door and waved to him before she went inside the house.

…

Open the door, Athena’s startle a bit when she saw Aslan was inside the house, sitting on the couch. His face looks serious.

“Aslan..when did you arrived?” She asks. She’s wasn’t ready to face him right now.

“This morning.” Aslan stands up and went to her in the hallway.

“Oh..sorry, I just return…” Athena lowered her head a little.

“From mission?” Aslan interject.

Athena immediately looks up at him.

“How..”

“Until when will you tell me? Am I not important enough for you to tell me the truth?”

“As…I don’t mean it that way.” She tries to explain.

“Uh-huh? then, when will you tell me that you are the ‘Nike’? Why you never said anything from the moment I saw you in that exhibition until now? Did you enjoy seeing me in the dark while you know everything and you not even telling me at all.”

“Did you find my gallery?” Athena scrunches her eyebrow.

“Who wouldn’t find it if you let your gallery at your lawn. If you not careless, then I might not be knowing about this until you die.”

The word ‘die’ makes her heart skip a beat. She shot him a glare.

“What? You even investigated me behind my back. Asking your ex to find the culprit. Why you rely on him so much? I am your husband and yet you still expect another man to help you instead of your own husband? What is this Athena? You agreed that we should be true to each other, who is now whose not telling the truth?

“As..”

“Sis Athena are you okay?” Rachael went inside the house and when she turns her body, she was startled seeing her brother was there standing in the hallway with Athena.

Aslan also a bit surprised seeing Rachael just get in the house. He shot both of them with a glare.

“You knew? Who sent you? Papa?” He asks Rachael with a disappointed face.

“Brother…”

“Seriously? What is wrong with you all people? Leaving me in the dark? My wife telling me lies and now my own family also hide a secret like this?”

“Oh! I forgot. My last name is Smith, not Lu. That is why my existence is not important.”

“Aslan..” Athena tries to calm him down.

Ring Ring!

His phone suddenly rang and he took it from his pocket. Seeing the caller, he picks it up.

“Yes?”

“President, our three airplanes has been missing from radar and our cargo ship also has been missing. We try to located and communicated with the pilot but to no avail. Not only that, it seems like they have been a hijack. There are about four hundred people on board including the cabin crew.” His assistant reporting to him big shocking news.

“What? Since when?”

“This evening. All of the directors request an immediate meeting.”

“I’ll return now. Ask the board director to wait for me and find me a solution suggestion.” He said before he ended the call.

Looking at the two women in front of him, he sighs.

He went to Athena and kiss her cheek. “I need to go, we discuss this later.”

“As..I..”

“Not now Athena.” He said with a serious tone.

Turn to his sister, he also looks at her with a cold gaze. “I’m still not done with you.”

After he said that, he went out and drive to the private airbase he owned.

…

Athena tears start to roll down once he was out of the house. She slowly slouched on the floor and cry.

Seeing her sister-in-law crying, she felt a bit guilty and sad. She helps her to go to her own room and leave her alone after that.

Athena sobbing on her bed, clenching on her comforter tightly. This is the first time they had quarrel like this. This also makes her heart hurt so much. The way he looks at her, his tone and his expression, all is strange to her.

The Aslan she knows for the past months is very gentle and caring for her. She missing him badly, but because of her mistake, she needs to endure another storm in her married life.
