49 Shenanigans II Athena chuckled slyly , seeing the display Zack Moore was enacting in public .
Did he think doing this would sway her into helping him ? He must be a joker ! Already she was hearing murmurs from people , both hospital workers and patients alike .
Most of them thought her proud for letting an old man kneel before her .
But she wasnt moved .
She chuckled more instead , when Zack , secing the desired effect of his act on people , wrapped his hands around her legs and started bawling uncontrollably .
Zack concluded that if Athena wasnt moved by his pleas , then she would surely be moved by the opinions of others .
He didnt know how his stocks had suddenly plunged , but they had suffered that sad fate after that nights party .
Hence , Athena must have something to do with it ! Athena please ! Dont forsake your aged father because of a little scuffle six years ago ! Please let the past remain in the past , and help me ! Im at the point of my death ! Wont you forgive my mistakes still ?! He artfully checked the faces of people around him .
Seeing they were moved , he intensified his groanings .
Remember how I took care of you , my dear , when you were younger and sick .
Remember how I comforted you , on nights when you were plagued with nightmares .
Would one mistake forever taint me in your eyes , because you are a doctor now ?! Zack also refused to be separated from Athenas legs when a concerned male tried lifting him .
The male in question gave Athena a bombastic side eye , before shifting away from them .
Athena wondered if the former knew who she really was , considering he had the prevalent disease , notwithstanding it was still in its earliest stage .
However , she knew she wouldnt hold it against him , or the people murmuring about her ; they were only hearing one side of the story .
Maybe she should fill them in on the second side of the story , her own side .
Since Zack wanted drama , she would give him drama .

Therefore , when the security men arrived and tried to interfere , she held her hand up .
them to wait .
She would deal with this herself .
telling The murmurs were fast becoming loud talks as she could hear them vividly now .
Who does she think is , letting her father kneel before her like this ? This new generation of youths needs to be taught a lesson ! 49 Shenanigans .
II Yes , we should petition her case to the chief doctor .
Im sure this one is just a new doctor , considering her age .
She should be sacked for being a nuisance in such a pristine organization ! I agree with you .
But why arent the doctors and nurses doing anything ? Why are they just watching , knowing that she is in the wrong ? Are they afraid of her ? I think so .
I remember seeing her with Zane Whitman in the papers .
They are probably lovers .
Really ? That would explain her status in the hospital , and why the others are afraid of her .
They arent ready to risk their jobs ! But is that fair ? I dont think Ill return to this hospital again ! I would have agreed with that , but I have the unfortunate discase … and from what I hear , only this hospital can treat it ! She is so full of herself ? Do you see her chuckling ? Someone has to call her to order for god sake ! Or else she will spoil the lesser generation , allowing them to think that disrespecting an elder is a normal thing … Athena tuned off then ; she was tired of h
earing the wrong statements .
Zack , meanwhile , was extraordinarily happy .
Surely , Athena would listen to him now .
If only he knew ! Just then , an aged couple , around sixty something years approached Athena with their lips turned up in condemnation .
They were both affected strongly by the strange disease , considering the gray patches on their faces .
Athena was surprised people accommodated them , without discrimination .
Were they that enlightened ? Seeing their condescending looks though , she smirked , crossed her arms around her chest , and kicked Zack away from her space .
Zack , not seeing it coming , cried out truly as pain rocketed from his head , where the kick had landed , to his spine .
He neednt be told twice to scurry away .
The kick , however , caused shouts of disapproval to echo in the hospitals reception .
The doctors and nurses , who knew the status of Athena , were surprised at the turn of events .
They knew Athena as a good boss , the perfect there is , always caring and responsive .
But this side of her , they didnt understand .
They didnt know what to think of it either .
A few amongst them believed there must be a reason , while the rest decided to stay away from her from henceforth .
But Athena wasnt bothered at all .
49 Shenanigans li What is your name , doctor ? The couple asked Athena , at the same time , revealing their marital status .
Im Athena , the president of all Whitman hospitals , A hush silence permeated the reception space instantly , as the patients and visitors understood what the title meant .
The pe people , who came to be treated for their strange diseases , swallowed their resentments and took steps away from the spectacle .
Athena lifted her chin , and pointed at Zack , who was kneeling with his forehead to the ground , still pretending .
And that man right there , is not my father .
He is a fake .
Murmurs broke out in the crowd that had gathered for the spectacle .
Some brought out their phones to record the happening .
Zack , hearing camera flashes , hearing the people become unsure of their earlier stand , lifted .
his head in fake anguish and cried out , determined not to lose face for nothing .
Athena , please stop , you are hurting me ! Yes , I made a mistake a few years ago , but wont you forgive me ? How can you deny me in front of these people ? The couple sighed , and reverted their attention to Athena .
Sometimes , we aged people make mistakes , but it doesnt mean you younger ones should deny us in public .
You are disgracing your father , young lady .
The husband spoke .
His wife concurred .
Forgive your old man , and settle your issues at home .
That the couples attitude toward her improved , considering her title , wasnt enough for Athena .
Zack thought he could tarnish her reputation again ? He should think better ! I appreciate your advice , maam , but that is not the case .
She smiled at the couple who became instantly disarmed by her innocent smile .
You see , six years ago , I was accused of something I didnt do .
I was accused of adultery … Athena knew this might drag Ewans reputation to the mud again , but she was on a roll now , and couldnt stop .
Ewan could blame Zack for his troubles .
She didnt care .
Being forced to remember the past and speaking about it eroded her sense of guilt … should it appear .
