"Julie, are you okay?" Aunt Elly patted Julie's cheek gently.
Julie nodded. Her tears are pouring.
Aunt Elly still looks worried. He helps Julie get up and get into her bed.
"What's wrong? Tell Auntie" asked Aunt Elly.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'm just tired and want to rest." Julie then lay down. Aunt Elly helped him.
"Well, Auntie get you some warm water and lemon juice." Aunt Elly left her in the kitchen.
Julie is shocked to hear Dario and Athena talking over the phone.
Dario was so sincere with her. Now he has to believe it. Yes, Dario can definitely keep his promise.
It's okay to live in the shadows. He doesn't need a confession or anything. He just needs his children to live with complete parents.
It's okay to keep hiding in that apartment. He just needs comfort for his kids.
His happiness is number two.

Dario left. Athena drove him to the front of the castle. He waved his hand with a sad face.
Athena promised to tell me about Julie. Of course he lied. How could he dare to dismantle Julie's whereabouts without her permission.
Athena went inside again. Check that phone. He saw the call history.
Thirty minutes more. Means Julie's listening to all her conversations with Dario.
Athena almost called her best friend back when Dean called her.
"Children need extra mattresses and some have broken shoes. We have to buy it" Dean said.
"alright. I'll be out later in the afternoon." Athena promised.
His busy life that day made him forget to call Julie.
In the afternoon, Athena walks to a shoe store. The size of the broken child's shoes was already in his hands.
He's just on foot. The shoe store is just a few blocks from there.
The owner of the shoe store always gave a discount if he knew Athena was buying it for the children in the foster home.
Athena actually checked the situation.
He realized that since Julie ran away, there was a man in black who always followed her away. He walked silently behind her and pretended to be busy as Athena turned her head.
That figure was no longer there yesterday. Now Athena became convinced that she was safe to visit Julie at the Delphi border.
Athena walked towards the corner of the block. Suddenly he hit someone.
"Shelf."
"Aw" said Athena.
A tall man seemed to be in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, miss," he said, picking up Athena's lost wallet and handing her over.
Athena cleaned her dirty knees. He looked up to see the man's face.
When he saw his face, he was shocked. The man was as surprised as he was.
They looked at each other in confusion.
Athena must have recognized the young man. He must have been Dario's man who followed him these weeks.
I saw the man looking down. They stand face to face.
Athena could not take it anymore. He laughed out loud.
"Hey, you're Dario's man who was assigned to follow me, right?" asked Athena with a laugh.
The man scratched his head awkwardly. Yes, he was caught red-handed.
"Come on. Just confess. Now follow me. Don't go far. I'm not going anywhere. Just to the shoe store down the street. Now help me transport those shoes. Come on," said Athena pushyly while pulling the man's hand.
The man just complies. He no longer knows what to do.
Athena pushed the shop's transparent glass doors. The shopkeeper greeted him.
"Hey, you came to shop? Oh, who's this guy?" ask the old man kindly.
"Oh good," said the old man as he picked up the size paper Athena had prepared.
The surveillance guy just shut up.
"Yes, right?" Athena elbowed the man's arm.
"Oh, yes" he said nervously.
The man complies. It helps to choose shoes. The friendly Athena made her open her voice.
"So your name is Jimmy?" ask Athena.
"Yes. Such is. I'd be fired if my boss saw me like this" he said with a matted face.
"Who's your boss? Shan?" ask Athena. He knew Shan. They witness the marriage of Julie and Dario.
"You know him?" Jimmy sounded panicked.
"Yes, of course. Be calm. I'm not gonna say. Is there anyone else around here watching me?" ask Athena again.
"At first three people. Then it becomes two people. Now I'm on my own. I'm the new bodyguard. I should still be training. But Mr. Shan said I got away faster because of a sudden assignment. I've been stalking you for weeks. It's a boring job" Jimmy said. He became familiar with Anthena.
Athena laughed when she heard it.
They carried the shoes in four large bags.
"Come in and have fun with the kids. You must be bored. What time are you done on duty?" Athena asked him.
"Seven night hours. There'll be a replacement" Jimmy said.
They walked down the suburban road covered in dry leaves.
"Come with me. Come and have dinner with us. You like kids? You look young. The boys in the foster home really like to play ball" Athena said.
"really? I have a little brother. He also likes to play ball. Too bad he died last year of cancer" Jimmy said sadly.
"Ah, I'm sorry. You should meet them. Surely they like you," Athena said with a smile towards the man.
"All right." Jimmy agreed. He looks excited.
Athena smiled meaningfully. Yeah, the trick worked.
He'll keep Jimmy busy and he'll sneak out in his car to visit Julie.
No need to worry. There's Dean and Lena who can look after the kids tonight.
Jimmy was greeted by the children with great joy. He also seemed to enjoy his afternoon by playing with the children.
"Happy. I'll prepare dinner." Athena smiled meaningfully at Jimmy. He patted his back cheering.
They seemed to swarm to see Jimmy who was good at playing tricks to play ball.
Athena gave Dean and Lena a short message. There were four other people guarding this castle. Athena says don't let Jimmy know he's gone. Maybe he'll stay the night.
Dean and Lena nodded in understanding. Athena immediately ran towards her room to take a quick shower and prepared.
He took the car keys and slipped from the kitchen door that was connected to the garage.
He was driving that shiny black chevrolet out of the castle.
Yes, Athena escaped the Dario people.
He drove the car quickly on the not-so-dense road.
Go to Aunt Elly's house. He parked his car under a maple tree and knocked on the door.
Aunt Elly opened the door. He looks sweaty
"Oh, hi Aunty. Are you busy doing something?" ask Athena.
"Yes, comein. I'm glad to help Miss Julie pack." The aunt went into the house.
"Packaged?" asked Athena in surprise. He was still standing at the door.
Aunt Elly looked back. He stopped his steps.
"Yes, he's moving. Aunty will sadly be abandoned. Though Aunty was glad she was here, "the rich Aunt was sad.
Athena closed the door of the old house and walked quickly to find Julie.
Julie was sitting and reading a piece of paper.
"Julie," cried Athena.
Julie was surprised to see Athena suddenly coming.
Athena looked at her friend's pale face. She runs and hugs Julie while crying.
