Chapter 137: Heartbeat
Regarding Ji Xiangyu’s intimate contact, Athena was flustered and wanted to take the towel, saying, “Chairman, let me do it!”
As soon as her hand reached out, it touched Ji Xiangyu’s hand. A blush immediately spread across Athena’s face. How could this be? Her heartbeat was so fast, so fast, so fast!
Athena stood frozen, not daring to move. Through the mirror, she saw Ji Xiangyu, dressed in a suit, holding a towel and drying her hair. His movements were so focused, so meticulous. For a moment, Athena was mesmerized.
Knowing Athena was observing him in the mirror, Ji Xiangyu couldn’t help but look up, their gazes meeting in the mirror. Their eyes entangled in the reflection.
Ji Xiangyu gave Athena a slight smile in the mirror. This smile was enough to melt Athena’s heart. She suddenly remembered a saying: “A slight smile can captivate a city!”
Ji Xiangyu’s gentle voice sounded in her ear, “Are you alright?”
Athena looked up through the mirror at Ji Xiangyu. His furrowed brow made her heart ache. So, she shook her head slightly, her lips curving into a beautiful arc. Unexpectedly, as she shook her head, she bumped right into Ji Xiangyu’s embrace.
Ji Xiangyu smoothly embraced Athena. Athena dared not move, leaning against his chest. It felt so warm, so safe!
So warm, so warm. Athena couldn’t help but lean closer. To her surprise, she felt a hot breath approaching her face, and she looked up in astonishment.
Instantly, her heart pounded. This scene reminded her of when Ji Xiangyu had kissed her forcefully before; his gaze was the same. Irresistible and filled with deep affection.
The next second, just as she thought Ji Xiangyu was about to kiss her, he let go of her, stuffed the towel into her hand, and quickly left.
Athena watched Ji Xiangyu’s retreating back, her heart feeling heavily struck.
Why was she so eager for Ji Xiangyu to do something to her this time? Could it be that she had fallen in love with this unpredictable and cold Chairman?
Athena absently dried her hair, her mind completely devoid of any memories of Ji Xiangyu. He had never appeared in her life before, yet this familiar feeling was unlike that of a stranger. There must be something she didn’t know that had happened between them.
Athena remembered the attending physician who had given her rehabilitation training before. Perhaps he could tell her something. So, she made a telephone call. Soon, the call was answered, “Hello, I am Athena. I’m looking for Doctor Alexander!”
It was Doctor Alexander on the other end. “Athena, are you feeling unwell?”
Athena pondered for a moment and said, “Doctor Alexander, I want to ask you, do you know my past? Is there any way to help me remember everything?”
Alexander asked in surprise, “Has Athena remembered something?”
Athena confided in Alexander, “Recently, I’ve met someone who feels very familiar. I always feel like it’s not the first time I’ve met them!”
After a sigh, the voice on the other end comforted her, “It will be like this. It will be fine after a while. Don’t worry!”
Just as Athena was about to ask more questions, Doctor Alexander said, “Athena, I have patients waiting for me here. I’ll call you when I’m free!”
Athena hung up the telephone call with disappointment, looking into the distance with a sense of loss.
In Russia, after hanging up Athena’s telephone call, Alexander immediately dialed a number.
“Mr. Xia, Qing Tian just called asking if I knew about her past. Did something happen in China?”
Andrei frowned as he was processing documents when the telephone call rang, displaying the name of Athena’s attending physician. “Mr. Alexander, please keep this a secret. Never let Athena or anyone else know about the hypnosis. I’m afraid Athena won’t be able to handle it!”
Doctor Alexander sighed again and said, “Andrei, I know your difficulties, but this cannot be hidden forever. I hope you can respect Athena. She has the right to know her past!”
Andrei looked at the documents with pain. Alexander’s words plunged him into deep thought. Was he doing the right thing? Was constantly avoiding the problem truly good for Athena?
For so many years, he hadn’t felt anything was wrong. But seeing Athena instinctively wanting to approach Ji Xiangyu, he couldn’t make a hasty judgment.
He was about to become the executioner who deprived Athena of her Happiness, but to prevent Athena from being harmed, he would continue to do so!
Qing Tian will forgive him, right!
