The door of the meeting room swung open.
Athena bumped into a familiar and very safe embrace.
"Be careful."
Byron supported Athena and spoke nervously.
Athena looked up at him, and tears fell uncontrollably.
She did not even realize that she was crying. "I'm going to find Rose, don't stand in the way..."
"I've already brought Madam Stella home." Byron saw her crying so sadly, and his heart was broken. While gently wiping her tears away, he softly coaxed her.
Athena was taken aback.
"What did you say?"
"I have brought Madam Stella back, and now she is undergoing examination and treatment in our own hospital." Byron said to her with a smile, "She's still alive."
Athena could not hold back anymore.
She hugged Byron, buried her head in his arms, and cried her heart out.
At this moment, Byron was both surprised and happy.
He caressed Athena's head lightly. "Hey, stop crying. Many people are watching."
"Let them watch!" Athena murmured, "I'll cry if I want to!"
Byron smiled.
He coaxed more gently. "Okay, the Chairman has the final say!"
Scarlett, who was very near, was speechless. What a sudden public display of affection.
Some shareholders were rubbernecking.
Damn it! They were so sweet!
On the other side, Mike asked someone to pull Lien and Jaclyn away.
She was persuading Jaclyn, "Mrs. Jaclyn Stella, you have a bruised nose and a swollen face. You're going to scare your son when you go home... If you really want to hit her, I'll ask my men to hold her down before you hit her!"
As soon as he said that, suddenly, someone ran over from the door.
"Bitch, my mother is not dead! Byron saved her!" Cato pointed at Lien and mocked loudly, "Your karma will come! When my mother wakes up, you will get what you deserve, a horrible death!"
"Not dead?" Lien froze. "Impossible. George clearly sent me a photo of her corpse!"
Byron nodded. "As soon as you went out, George called me and asked me to find a way to go to him and take Madam Stella back."
Athena lowered her head.
Tears fell down in big drops.
"I knew he wouldn't hurt his family... He wouldn't..."
Byron was silent and gently squeezed Athena's shoulder.
The car soon arrived at the hospital where Rose was.
Athena got out of the elevator and ran all the way there.
On the bench outside the ward sat a man curled up and covering his cheek.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up.
Seeing that it was Athena, he subconsciously stood up.
Before he could speak, Athena plunged into his arms and hugged him tightly.
