She Outshines 36
Chapter 36
As night fell, Athena returned to her apartment.
Freya sent her a message: [The pharmacist and neurologist have sessfully seen the patient.
They will conduct aprehensive examination tonight and send you the first report tomorrow.)
Athena replied simply: [Okay.1
ording to the n. Dr. Annie’s team was set to arrive in the capital this afternoon and would then
be secretly transported to Lucy’s retreat by Louis.
Thinking of Lucy reminded Athena of Matthew. His meticulously sculpted face, wless from every
angle, lingered in her mind..
What could Matthew be doing right now?’ she wondered.
Curious, she logged onto the inte and searched for updates on Matthew. Despite his reputation
for being low-key and avoiding the spotlight, she quickly found a recent video of him
“This afternoon, actress Luna Carter held a yacht party at Moon Bay. Numerous high-profile guests
arrived at the dock. Among the invited were…
“The most surprising guest was the usually reclusive Matthew Graham, CEO of the Graham Group.
Matthew arrived at Moon Bay in an SUV, got out alone, and boarded the luxurious yacht with a
bikini-d beauty. The SUV then drove away. After Matthew boarded, the yacht left the dock
“It was said that these parties require signing confidentiality agreements, with all phones collected,
so that no one is able to take photos or videos. Therefore, what happens on the yacht remains
unknown.”
Athena quickly understood. Matthew must have deliberately leaked his whereabouts to draw public
and family attention. allowing Louis to secretly take Dr. Annie’s team to see Lucy.
This showed just how deeply Matthew cared for his sister. Athena couldn’t quite exin why, but
she didn’t want to see sadness, pain, or disappointment on Matthew’s handsome face. She found
herself silently praying.
Praying for Lucy’s surgery to go smoothly and for her to recover soon…
Meanwhile, at Harmony Hospital, the olddy opened her eyes and kept calling out, “Athena, where
is Athena…
The nurse, who had secretly epted a six-figure bribe from the Kennedy family, hesitated. Instead
of calling Athena, she informed Micah, who was out having ate-night snack.
Micah rushed back to the hospital, calling Isaac on the way.
Isaac, upon receiving the news, went to fetch his children, urging them toe to the hospital.
Andrew, applying a face mask, was de
“Staying upte ruins my skin! It’s toote, I’m not going.”
Gia, engrossed in her design work, didn’t even look up. “I’m busy with my designs. I can’t go.”
Isaac and Regina didn’t dare to force them, so they headed to the hospital alone.
In the VIP room, after sending the nurse to rest, Micah discreetly dissolved a stimnt pill in warm
water and gave it to the olddy.
He had obtained the pill from a doctor, iming he needed it to stay awake during night shifts. While
it was generally safe

for asional use, it had severe side effects for someone in the olddy’s condition.
After drinking the water, the olddy became more alert and managed to speak a full sentence:
“Athena, I want to see Athena. Please, call Athena…”“
“Grandma, please listen to me.” Micah seized the opportunity to exin the Kennedy family’s
situation. “Athena is not your biological granddaughter. You have a pair of biological twin
grandchildren, a grandson named Andrew and a granddaughter named Gia..”
Unexpectedly, the olddy became furious, her voice hoarse with anger. “You’re lying!”
Micah sighed, Tm not lying.” He produced a DNA test report showing that Athena was not Isaac and
Regina’s biological child. He then showed photos of Andrew and Gia on his phone. These are your
biological grandchildren. They look just like Isaac and Regina…”
The olddy closed her eyes and turned her head away. “They don’t look like them at all! I want
Athena. Call Athena now…
Micah, frustrated, continued, “Grandma, the Kennedy family is in trouble. We need your help.”
Ignoring whether she was listening or not, he exined the situation with Vission Group. “Only youContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
can persuade Athena to spare the Kennedy family.
The olddy remained stubborn, like a child demanding candy. I want to see Athena. I want to see
Athena…
Micah was at his wit’s end. “This is so troublesome. I don’t even know if she understands…
Just then, his phone rang. It was Isaac. Isaac’s voice was filled with frustration. “We’re at the
hospital, but visiting hours are over. We can’t get into the inpatient ward.”
He rarely visited hospitals. Even when he did, there were always people to handle things for him.
He only needed to wait for the results.
Athena had always taken care of his mother’s hospitalization and treatment, so he had no idea that
visiting hours ended at
10 PM.
Micah was dumbfounded. “What do we do now?”
“Then what else can we do?” Isaac snapped. “You just have to convince my mom to plead with
Athena on our behalf.”
Micah, looking pained, replied, “I’ve said everything I could, but she won’t listen. She keeps
repeating that she wants to see Athena and insists Athena is her real granddaughter….
Hearing this, Regina grabbed the phone from her husband and yelled into it, “Just keep talking!
Keep brainwashing her until she remembers that Andrew and Gia are her real grandchildren and
that Athena is an imposter who deceived us for eighteen years.”
“Got it?” she bristled.
Micah, resigned, said, “Got it.”
He hung up the phone and returned to the bedside, ready to continue his attempts at persuasion.
But he found that the old Jady had already fallen asleep, drooling at the corner of her mouth.
This brainwashing session was over before it even started.
