38 An Old Dream II At Zanes question .
Ewan sighed tiredly and rested his head properly against the headboard , his eyes choosing to focus on the ceiling .
You already know the answer to that , Zane .
She was my savior , all those years ago .
She was also a good friend of mine too … before the accident … from what I can remember .
Remember ? Zanes eyes widened in incredulity .
Ewan , you lost both the memories of that unfortunate day and the years before that .
Practically , you have no memory of your childhood .
So , how are you sure Fiona was your friend ? Zane took a seat on the soft yet firm hospital bed .
You are right , Zane .
I dont remember anything really … but sometimes , the memory of that day pops up in my dreams .
Ewan inhaled softly , before meeting his friends gaze .
Thats how I know what happened , and the sacrifice she made .
Zane was nonplussed .
He trailed his eyes over Ewan .
What was his friend talking about ? You cant be serious , Ewan .
How do you know the dream is the real deal ? It might be a hallucination .
It might just be a mere dream .
Ewan shook his head .
It isnt .
I just know it isnt .
He paused .
Even if it was , how can it show up this morning , clearer than before … ? Zane frowned .
Please dont tell me its a sign for you to let Fiona go unpunished , after what she had done ; after she had almost cost you the company and the health of your people ? Ewan looked away .
Of course , he knew what his friend was talking about … If Athena finally cancelled the deal they made , his company will return to that restless state it had been a night ago at the verge of closure and he will have to bury a lot of his people .
Ewan knew what Fiona might cost him , but the dream … Fiona will be punished for her actions .
I already called the engagement off .
Ill also reduce the money I give her , at least for two weeks , so that she can talk to herself and repent … Zane laughed in disbelief .
You will engag Ewan said nothing her again right ? His silence though , communicated just enough .
However , when Zane threw up his hands in frustration , he spoke then .
She saved me , Zane .
I wont be here , if not for her .
Yes , she has made mistakes , but should I rule her out because of that ? This is the first .
Im sure it wont be happen again .
Ill make sure of that .
3B An Old Dream II Zane cackled humorlessly this time around .
You are naive , Ewan .
When it comes to Fiona , you are so naive .
Its like you become a different person , a shallow person something you arent on a normal day A pause .
I understand that she saved you … Wait .
There was a twinkle in Zanes eyes now .
Since you are a lover of evidence , what evidence did you have that Fiona saved you ? Dreams arent enough .
What informed you of Fionas authenticity as your savior … Her bracelet .
Ewan didnt waste time this time around .
Zane furrowed his eyebrows .
A bracelet ? Ewan nodded .
In the dream , although the face of the girl that had saved me was blurry , the bracelet on her hand wasnt .
When I woke up from the coma , I saw little Fiona sitting close to me , weeping .
She was wearing the same bracelet .
Thats how I knew she was the one .
Zane sighed , seeing things from Ewans perspective .
But still , it doesnt mean that you owe her your life , or marriage .
He shook his head with conviction .
Ewan , you have done enough .
You have been good to her and her family for the longest time .
You even established Alfonsos company .
I think thats enough ! Zane was restless with anger .
People that donate blood and organs to dying people dont even make such stupid demands ! Personally , I dont think she is a good person ! She is manipulative ! Ewan ruffled his hair .

Thats far fetched Zane .
Fiona is a good person .
Just a bit misguided .
Jealous Ewan knew Fiona was jealous of Athena .
He wasnt blind to that at least .
But why should she ? Athena wasnt planning on returning to him , nor was he planning on chasing her .
He would explain this to her after the punishment , then she would understand things better .
He concluded .
He would give her a second chance .
Zane shrugged his shoulders .
His friend was bent on being a man controlled by Fiona , therefore he couldnt do much , apart from speaking the truth at every turn .
So , when did Athena leave ? Ewan asked , after some beats .
Some hours ago , when she was done with the acupuncture .
She had to pick her children up from school .
She went home from there ; however , she left instructions for Sandro .
Ewan imagined Sandro and Athena , heads together , talking about his health , and took his lips in -their informal greeting from earlier was still fresh in his mind .
He didnt like it .
It made him feel angry , then sad .
He didnt understand it either ; hasnt even understood himself , since Athena left him , and since 38 An Old Dream she returned again .
When will she be back ? Zane frowned .
I dont know .
Tomorrow ? The time is eight p.m.
It was then that Ewan looked outside , through the window .
Everywhere was black and still .
How long did she take to treat me ? Quite a while .
You should buy some gifts and thank her .
She isnt the best doctor for nothing Ewan nodded .
He will surely do that .
Yet ..
How is she a doctor in many fields ? Six years ago , she was uneducated .
Zane shrugged again .
Im not sure , Ewan .
But that should be the least of your problems .
Ewan was aware of that , yet he was just so curious .
He had never seen anyone as Athena ; her accomplishments still blew his mind ! Or had she pretended to be uneducated those years ago ? Before I forget , Athena promised Sandro that the deal is still on , between the both of you … Zane said , breaking into Ewans thoughts .
She said it was business first , before anything else .
Although I cant believe that you thought I wanted to destroy your company … Ewan laughed then , his freeness surprising him still .
You cant blame me .
You both painted the picture yourselves ! No , we didnt .
You just saw what you wanted to see .
If Athena really wanted your company to go down , it would have happened already .
Ewan was tired of hearing people say that all the time .
Just who was Athena Caddell ?
