Chapter 523 The Cause of Death is Suspicious

Evie was always busy.

She didn't stay long when she came. She brought lunch with her.

After having lunch with Athena, she left in a hurry.

When Athena returned to Byron's room, he slept soundly and even breathing.

A coincidence happened.

Just as Athena took out her phone.

She received news about Freya's mother's body being found in the lake.

She thought about it and decided to check the news.

The report mentioned that Freya's mother had late-stage cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. Since she favored boys over girls, she hadn't been in touch with her daughter for a long time. However, in the past few months, Freya had given several million to her brother and also provided for her mother's retirement property in Forganto City and medical expenses. But the reality was.

With that money, Freya's brother didn't spend a dime on their mother.

He took the money and disappeared recently.

Freya's mother, in despair, decided to end her life by jumping into a lake.

Her body was discovered in the morning by joggers, who then called the police. The police found her identification on her and immediately notified Freya.

According to the media, Freya fainted from crying when she identified the body.

When she left the police station, she appealed to her missing brother in front of the media to come back and help her deal with their mother's funeral. That was all the news report had.

After Athena read it, she felt there was something off.

She read a few other articles.

And found out that the police hadn't yet determined whether this was a case of suicide or homicide.

The park where it happened was remote, with a severe lack of surveillance. They didn't even catch when Freya's mother entered the park.

But now, the media suggested that Grace chose to end her life because her son took the money her daughter gave her for treatment.

Athena thought about it for a moment.

Byron woke up.

She quickly turned off her phone. "Did you wake up?"

Byron was delighted to see his wife the moment he woke up. He could even ignore the pain in his body.

His wounds were healing.

It was pretty uncomfortable, so he couldn't sleep for long.

"Are you hungry? Rose made you a salmon salad and said it would help recover wounds." Athena adjusted the bed slightly and gently asked. Byron was extremely touched.

He was willing to eat whatever Athena gave him, even poison!

"Okay."

Athena called someone to bring in the prepared salmon salad.

She then mixed the salad evenly and fed it to Byron.

Swallowing was still painful for Byron, so he took small bites.

His gaze was always on Athena's face as if she would run away if he looked away.

He ate slowly and finished the salmon salad Rose brought.

"Mr. Crawford, you're amazing. You ate it all!" Athena put down the bowl and praised Byron like coaxing a child.

Byron was a little stunned.

Then he laughed.

"Do you think I'm a child?" he asked.

Athena used a wet wipe to wipe his mouth gently. "Well, you're just as vulnerable as a child now."

Perhaps because he had some food.

Byron felt a lot better.

He raised his hand, took Athena's hand, and kissed the back of it.

Athena symbolically tried to pull away, but when she couldn't, she gave up.

"Thea, did I do well this time?" he asked.

He sounded like a puppy begging for praise.
