All Chapters of My CEO Is My Cure: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"I've almost completely recovered," Athena replied.Julian answered with a firm command. "Come back to work tomorrow."For some reason, not seeing her over the past two days had left him restless.Athena blinked in surprise. "So soon?""Aren't you feeling better now? If you are, then come back to work." He could hardly wait to see her again."But... I'd still like to rest for a few more days. Mr. Sterling, didn't you say you'd let me use the leave I earned from all that overtime?"She still wasn't ready to see him. Besides, her foot genuinely needed a few more days to heal.A restrained look flickered across Julian's eyes. "Mm."Athena let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Sterling."She was about to hang up when Julian suddenly stopped her."Wait." He couldn't bring himself to end the call just yet."Mr. Sterling, is there something else?" Athena asked, puzzled.Julian hesitated for a brief moment before asking, "Is your husband home right now?"The instant the words

Athena stared at him in disbelief. Julian Sterling, of all people, was actually refusing to leave her apartment. Yet because of his status, she couldn't exactly throw him out."You're still going to have coffee this late at night?" she asked before she could stop herself."Why? Is that a problem?" Julian's deep gaze swept over her. He wasn't angry, but his presence alone was intimidating.He was her employer. Despite his position, he'd personally come to visit a mere assistant late at night. If she refused to offer him even a cup of coffee, she would have no way to justify it.Athena could only nod reluctantly. "Of course. What kind of coffee would you like?""Anything. Any coffee is fine."Since he'd already said that, Athena quietly went into the kitchen to make him some coffee.She filled the moka pot and set the water to boil.Leaning against the countertop, she drifted into thought. 'Why did he come to my apartment in the middle of the night? And how does he know my husban

Athena steadied her breathing, politely excused herself, and left the office.Perhaps this was the distance she and Julian were always meant to keep between them. They had simply returned to where they should have been all along....That evening, Athena met Zoey for dinner.The moment Zoey learned Athena had been injured and hadn't been coming to work, concern filled her face. "No wonder I haven't seen you at the office these past few days. Why didn't you tell me you hurt your foot?""It wasn't that serious. It's already healed." Athena shook her head, her expression distant. "Do you know any lawyers who specialize in divorce cases?"Zoey's expression changed instantly. "What? You want a divorce?"Athena lowered her head. "Mm."She had originally believed that once Olivia got married, Ethan would finally move on. Now she realized that had been nothing more than wishful thinking.Olivia was the only woman Ethan had ever loved. No one else could ever take her place.Now that O

Athena instinctively refused. "No need. I don't want to trouble you."Adam smiled. "It's no trouble. We're headed the same way anyway. Besides, Julian is in the car too."If he hadn't mentioned Julian, it might have been fine. The moment Athena heard he was in the car, she became even more reluctant to get in."Really, it's not necessary," she insisted.Zoey, who was standing beside her, caught what Adam had said. "Huh? The CEO is in there too?"Adam immediately clarified. "This is Mr. Sterling's car."Zoey wanted to get in but hesitated. "Maybe we shouldn't trouble Mr. Sterling...""Then trouble me instead," Adam replied. "I'm Athena's brother-in-law now, after all. If I leave the two of you standing on the side of the road and something happens, I won't be able to explain it to your sister."Since mentioning Julian hadn't worked, he had no choice but to bring up Olivia instead.Athena froze. She hadn't expected him to already know she was Olivia's younger sister.Julian's d

Ethan's brows drew together. "Why are you being so petty? Olivia was only hospitalized because of a stomach problem. I stayed with her for a few extra days to take care of her. Do you really have to make an issue out of that?"Athena let out a sarcastic laugh. "You call that taking care of her for a few extra days? I think you would've been happier if you'd never left her hospital room."Ever since her sister had been admitted, Ethan had gone to the hospital every single day. Did he really think his wife no longer existed?Ethan's expression darkened. "What kind of thing is that to say? Olivia is your sister. I don't care if you insult me, but you have no right to insult her!"Athena met his gaze without flinching. "You keep saying she's my sister, but ask yourself honestly. As my husband, when have you ever treated her like my sister? Even now, you mention Olivia every other sentence, as if you're afraid no one knows how much you care about her!"Ethan's handsome face stiffened,
