Chapter 13 Athena was moved by the thought of saving hundreds of children and elderly patients.

She couldn't ignore an act like that. Closing the medical report, she asked, "Where is he now?" Two minutes later, Athena found herself in the first-floor reception room, facing none other than the legendary Matthew.

She couldn't help but think, 'Is that really him? He's even more striking in person. And he looks so damn young!" Athena noted that he seemed only three or four years older than her, yet there was something about him-an air of authority, a blend of maturity and calmness that made him seem older than his years.

"But seriously, why the hell is he wearing a bucket hat indoors in the middle of summer? she thought, amused by his odd choice.

Meanwhile, Matthew was sizing her up, too, his gaze steady and appraising.

Up close. Athena was even more stunning. Her delicate features were paired with flawless, glowing skin. Her large eyes. framed by long lashes, were bright and expressive, giving her a feline-like grace. A smooth forehead, a perfectly sculpted nose, and fell, rosy lips completed her striking appearance.

Every detail of her beauty was flawless, and Matthew finally understood why Louis had always sung her praises. Louis wasn't exaggerating Their eyes locked in an intense stare, neither of them blinking, like two deer caught in headlights, The moment seemed to drag on until Louis quietly appeared with two glasses of water, clearing his throat just loud enough to snap them out of it.

Matthew's voice was calm and polite, but with an edge that hinted he wasn't someone you'd want to mess with. "Nice to meet you Miss Donovan. Please, have a seat, he said.

Athena blinked and mumbled, Thank you," before sitting across from him at the conference table.

Matthew mirrored her, taking his seat with the scomposed demeanor.

Louis set a glass of water in front of each of them before retreating to the corner, standing there like ssort of silent bodyguard.

Matthew's eyes were fixed on Athena's, calm and sharp.

"Miss Donovan," Matthew began, his tone measured and deliberate. "I understand that Dr. Annie mentioned you should contact her if your grandmother had any post-surgery concerns. I'd like to ask if you could contact her on my behalf and see if she'd be willing to treat my sister." Matthew recalled the hospital staff mentioning that Annie had personally reached out to perform stirgery on Athena's grandmother. Though the reasons were unclear, he suspected Athena's connection with Amie might help. Athena raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have Dr. Annie's contact info? Why not reach out yourself?" Matthew stayed calm. I've sent countless emails, but she hasn't responded.

Athena shook her head slightly. "Dr. Annie is very particular. She's made it clear she won't take on any new patients for year. Even if I ask, I doubt she'll agree "I've heard, Mashew replied, maintaining his composure. "But Dr. Annie agrees to treat my sister, I'll give her the latest model of the Miracle 3.0-hasn't even hit the market yet-as a token of my appreciation." 1/2 2/2 20:56 Wed, Oct 9 Chapter 13 Athena's interest was piquedat the mention of the Miracle 3.0.

968%, Noticing her shift in expression, Matthew continued. "The Mirade 3.0 isn't just earthquake-proof, collision-proof, drop- proof, and smash-proof. Now it's waterproof, too. It can switch between an SUV and a sedan, and there's only one of them in the world right now." Athena's eyes widened, and she gasped softly. A car like that would tically improve anyone's chances in an emergency.

She'd always wanted a Miracle car, but with only 100 produced each year, they were nearly impossible to get.

The reservation process was a nightmare, demanding som personal information that she wasn't willing to share. Matthew's subtle smile widened as he observed her reaction.

"Miss Donovan," Matthew pressed on. "If you could helpget in touch with Dr. Annie, I'd be incredibly m grateful. Even if she says no. I'll owe ul. Even if w you one. But if she agrees, I'd be in your debt in a big way. Trust me, your help won't go unnoticed." What Matthew didn't mention was that anyone who crossed him would quickly regret it. As Athena mulled over his request, she looked up, wondering if it was worth having Matthew owe her a favor.

With his powerful connections and impressive skills, a future partnership could definitely her options. Matthew gave Louis a subtle nod.

work in her favor. As she weighed Louis stepped forward with a respectful nod. "Miss Donovan, I've got Ms. Lucy Graham's medical records ready. Would you like them in hard copy or digital?" Athena was stunned. The nhit her like a wave of recognition. "The Lucy Graham? The business genius?" she thought in surprise.

Athena had admired Lucy for years and had followed her incredible rise to success. If she ever had a colen model, Lucy was it. But Lucy had disappeared from the public eye years ago. Athena had no idea she was sick, let alone that she was Matthew's sister. 0 X
