Chapter 1904: It's Your Responsibility
She wore a loose pink kimono with cherry blossom patterns, her long black hair neatly arranged, with a
light cherry blossom hairpin right in the middle, just as before. Hearing a sound behind her, Athena
turned around.
With her round black eyes, delicate eyebrows, and rosy lips, more than ten years had passed, yet she
still looked like a young girl, akin to an exquisite porcelain doll. Just as beautiful as before, a hint of
gentle sweetness graced her lips.
Unfortunately, an angelic face with a demonic soul.
Seeing Luther, Athena lifted her chin slightly. "Indeed, you still remember this place," she said.
Her eyes seemed to pierce through the mist of time, bringing forth memories.
"Luther, do you remember? On my 18th birthday, you and your brother came here for camping. Finally,
my brother agreed to let me see you once before he sent me abroad for my studies. Do you know how
happy I was to see you again at that time?" Athena recounted the past.
"Yes, I let you see him because you promised me it would be the last time. Then you would obediently
go abroad to study," came a deep voice from behind.
Everyone turned to look behind them, and to their surprise, the familiar voice belonged to Christian.
Dressed in a pure black suit with a black tie, Christian's enchanting and unrestrained appearance was
unforgettable. It had been a long time since Felix and Luther had seen Christian. Although Christian
had helped before, he had never shown himself. Once good friends in their youth, they had drifted
apart, not keeping in touch and even becoming enemies.
Meeting again, the three of them felt awkward for a moment.
Christian cleared his throat and coldly fixed his gaze on Luther, then slowly spoke. "Since everyone
here is unaware of the past, I may as well tell you all. When Athena was ten years old, after seeing
Luther for the first time, she had been infatuated with him. Over the following eight years, they often
had private contact, and the two of them had long been engaged."
Luther rudely interrupted, "Engaged? Are you dreaming? I never even took a second look at her."
At this, Athena's expression changed.
At that moment, Vicki quietly nudged Felix, speaking in a hushed tone only they could hear, "Athena
was quite beautiful as a child. Did you never feel anything for her?"
Felix widened his eyes, "Are you kidding? Do you think that's beauty? Isn't your definition of beauty a
bit off? She was quite repulsive, to be honest."
Vicki gave a contented smile, "Close enough."
Although Christian had been utterly disappointed with Athena, he still insisted on seeking justice fornovelbin
what had happened in the past, considering that Athena had spent a whole ten years lying in the
hospital, and all the present consequences were the result of the past.
"Luther, are you still going to deny it? When I was in Athena's room, I found your coat. It was only after
my pressing that Athena admitted you had spent time alone with her every time you visited my house.
Although nothing inappropriate happened, she was only sixteen at the time! She was still a minor. Do
you dare say that coat wasn't yours?" Christian sternly questioned. Today, he might as well lay all the
past events bare. These words had been weighing on his heart for too long. "After that incident, every
time you came to my house, I made sure to keep Athena away from you, not letting you meet her until
she turned eighteen."
"Heh, my clothes are suddenly missing for no reason. So they were hidden. What a joke, your house is
so big, I didn't even know which room she lived in," Luther's voice dripped with disdain.
At this point, Joyce gently took hold of Luther's arm. She had heard Christian talk about these past
events before, and she chose to believe Luther wholeheartedly.
Athena's expression of disdain and the contempt evident in Joyce's actions instantly angered Athena.
"Athena, you have delusions. After such a long time, you've convinced yourself it's true. Ridiculous,"
Luther shook his head speechlessly, looking at Christian with pity. "I've told you countless times, she's
sick and needs treatment!"
"Of course, it's your responsibility," suddenly Felix interjected. "You never truly saw her for who she
was, couldn't see through her facade. Since she was ten, she's been putting on a show. I know you
liked her, but that doesn't mean you should have been blind to it."
"What are you saying?!" Christian became angry and stepped forward to confront Felix, "Have I been
unfair to you? Have I always supported Luther? Am I not your friend?"
"Yes, of course, you are my friend. Thanks to you, I can be with Vicki today, and I really want to thank
you for that. But these are two different things. I've told you before, Athena was acting on her own, and
you just stubbornly refused to believe it," Felix shrugged, looking helpless.
