After calling, Rebecca learned her passport was temporarily restricted from leaving the country.

She was pissed off and called Ennis immediately.

The call was connected quickly.

"Ennis, I've been restricted from leaving Mailand! Athena did it! Why would she do that? I just want to go home. Can't I even just go home without going to work at your lab?" Rebecca was very excited.

Ennis said gently, "Calm down. Didn't you adapt well to the work over there? Why do you suddenly want to come back again?"

Rebecca couldn't tell why either.

Rebecca felt terrible when she saw Athena surrounded by the crowd in the morning.

Thinking it over again, she felt manipulated by Athena's power.

Rebecca thought, "I have to live whatever kind of life Athena wants me to. Why? Mom said these powerful people draw pleasure and fulfillment by crushing others!"

"I'm not used to living over here!" Rebecca replied.

"Stop it. Didn't you stay well earlier? Rebecca... you've changed since we confirmed Byron was sick. What's wrong with you?" Ennis asked solemnly, "Not to mention Chelsea, I'm even starting to wonder if you're trying to take revenge on Byron!"

"No. How could I? I'm trying to protect him!" Rebecca hurriedly said, "Mom and I don't have any malice or blame towards him or Larry. You know all these!"

"It will be best if there isn't. The medical team made a complete prognosis for Byron's treatment today. Ideally, a half to one-year treatment cycle will stabilize his condition..."

"Ennis," Rebecca interrupted Ennis.

"Yes?"

"What is the most fundamental reason for Larry and Byron becoming like this today?"

"Rebecca, what are you trying to say?" Ennis didn't answer but asked back.

"Although some genetic defects are at play, Alivia and Athena made things worse, didn't they? With Athena still by Byron's side for one day, Byron will go back to his father's path no matter how we treat him. Do you understand?" The more Rebecca spoke, the more agitated she became. "Back then, my mom also said something like this to your father. He didn't take it seriously. If you don't take it seriously, too, Byron will be over!"

Ennis fell silent over there for a moment.

Just as Rebecca thought Ennis was impressed by her words, Ennis' gentle and calm voice came from the other end. "Rebecca, if you don't like this job, consider it a vacation in Mailand. I will cover all of your expenses for this period. Mailand has beautiful scenery in all seasons. Have fun with it."

"Ennis, what do you mean?" Rebecca froze in place.

"You're not a professional psychiatrist. Let's not talk about patient-related matters in the future, okay?" Ennis' tone remained gentle.

Rebecca, however, seemed as if she had been instantly enraged.

"You like Athena, don't you? You've treated Athena completely differently from the others from the very beginning!"
