Chapter 79: Let’s Leave!
"I think we should leave the city," Gianna started when she was sure the children had fallen asleep.
After picking them up from school, she had taken them home to eat and freshen up first, before bringing them to the hospital to see Athena.
Now, they were fast asleep after filling Athena in on how their day went, including the fact that Sandro had paid them a visit. Kendra was still clutching her doll.
"Why?" Athena asked, sighing as she righted herself on the bed, making sure not to disturb the children who were lying in different positions on the same bed.
Gianna’s eyes widened in incredulity.
"Are you seriously asking that? Look at what happened yesterday! You haven’t spent a month here, and already there are dangerous ruckuses here and there. Yesterday was Alfonso, today is the kidnapper, who knows what tomorrow will bring?"
She threw up her hands in frustration when Athena maintained a bland countenance.
"Don’t you understand, Athena? You’re in trouble! Especially from the kidnapper! Aiden hasn’t found him, so he’s still at large. Who says he won’t come for you again?Let’s leave here before things become messy! He could still be in communication with Fiona for all we know."
"So?"
Gianna’s eyes widened again in incredulity. She agilely stood up from the sofa, and started pacing, running her hands through her hair intermittently.
She paused after a few beats, and intensely stared at Athena.
