‘Why do I feel so irritated for no reason?‘ Alexandra thought, ‘What kind of newlywed girl dares to talk back to her wild’s mom like this? Ashery’s beat spoiled beyond belief by Xander, She’s completely out of control.
‘As long as I’m here, she’ll never have the final say in this household, Alexandra resolved inwardly.
Alexandra’s face darkened as she barked, “Bow.”
Athena promptly bowed her head. Seeing Athena’s submission, Alexandra felt a measure of satisfaction,
Alexandra jabbed a slender finger at Athena.
Just as she was about to launch into a tirade, Athena feigned surprise and gasped dramatically. “Mrs. Cavendish, have you been feeling unusually tired. dizzy, or having heart palpitations lately?”
Alexandra’s words died on her lips–every symptom Athena mentioned was spot on.
“So what if I have?” Alexandra snapped, rolling her eyes dismissively. Then it hit her–Athena was a physician. ‘Has she noticed something?” she wondered.
Alexandra subtly glanced at Athena, noticing her face was etched with worry, her brows deeply furrowed. She looked as if she had something important to say, yet hesitated to speak.
Upon recalling the symptoms Athena had just described, a wave of apprehension washed over Alexandra.
Clearing her throat, she demanded, “What have you found? Don’t beat around the bush–tell me at once.”
Alexandra had always been fastidious about her health regimen, exceptionally particular about her diet and daily comforts.
It was only recently that she’d begun to feel a little off.
Before she could even summon the court physician, Athena had already noticed the symptoms.
“Mrs. Cavendish, your symptoms are due to a deficiency of energy and blood. With proper care and nourishment, you’ll recover, but it’s most important to avoid anger. Please, take care of your health,” Athena said with practiced concern.
She went on, “I recently prepared some Energy–saving Pills–digestive–balancing pills. If you don’t mind, I’d be honored for you to try them.”
Everyone knew Athena’s medicines were priceless treasures, rarely obtainable. Her offering them herself was a gesture of genuine respect.
Alexandra’s expression softened slightly; she neither accepted nor refused.
Athena signaled the maid to bring the medicine over.
“After taking these pills, combining them with massage therapy will enhance the effects. Allow me, your daughter–in–law, to demonstrate for you, Mrs. Cavendish, so your maid can learn the technique,” Athena offered.
Alexandra blinked, still holding her chin up haughtily, though the sharpness in her features had noticeably softened.
Seeing no objection, Athena rose and stepped forward to gently massage Alexandra’s temples.
As she worked, she instructed the maid on the technique.
Before long, an indescribable sense of comfort spread through Alexandra’s body. Even the persistent headache she’d suffered for days melted away.
Alexandra gazed at Athena in astonishment, realizing that her medical skills truly lived up to their reputation. One couldn’t bite the hand that fed Alexandra.
Chapter 668
Alexandra’s impression of Athena had softened considerably. Trying to maintain her usual haughtiness, she said, “Very walk, you may ko, anyone thinking I’m mistreating you.”
Athena replied with a gentle smile, “Attending to you is both my duty and my honor, Mrs. Cavendish.”
As Alexandra was about to leave, Athena took out a bottle of Beauty Pills and handed it to Alexandra. “If you take this regularly, it will maps you delicate and glowing, Mrs. Cavendish. Why not give it a try?”
“Really?” Alexandra asked, clearly skeptical.
Though her eyes betrayed her doubt, her hand still reached out for the bottle. She turned the Beauty Pills over in her hands, her eyes lighting up
At her age, nothing worried her more than wrinkles. ‘If this really works, it would be wonderful, she thought.
Athena lifted her chin slightly and replied softly, “If you take it regularly, it will surely make you radiant again, Mrs. Cavendish.”
“Quick, tell me–how should I use it?” Alexandra pressed eagerly.
“Mrs. Cavendish, you just need to-” Athena leaned in and
whispered the instructions in her ear.
Alexandra beamed from ear to ear. “If it works, I’ll be sure to reward you handsomely.”
After just a few words, Athena had completely won over Alexandra.
