Chapter 1736: Are You Mad at Alisha?
Alisha received treatment in the sterile ward, and the whip marks on her arm were properly treated.
After the rapid bacterial culture yielded results, Dr. Jones selected the appropriate antibiotics and
administered a dose to Alisha before leaving the rest to Jamie.
When Alisha woke up in the hospital, her mental state had improved significantly. However, fear and
anxiety still lingered, and she curled up in Luther's embrace, holding onto his neck tightly, unwilling to
let go.
Luther and Jamie, with Alisha in tow, drove back to the seaside villa, with Jacob at the wheel.
Along the way, Alisha trembled from time to time. Whenever she thought of Athena's sinister face, she
couldn't help but feel scared.
Luther sensed her trembling and gently comforted her, "It's okay, Alisha. Daddy won't let anyone harm
you."
Alisha bit her lip and said, "Daddy, don't blame Mommy. It was really my own carelessness that caused
me to fall. It has nothing to do with Mommy. Daddy, please don't be mad at Mommy."
Luther looked at Alisha in astonishment and gently touched her cheek, "Alisha, I already know
everything that happened. Athena isn't here anymore. Why are you trying to protect her when she was
the one who whipped you? You've suffered such severe injuries, why do you still defend her?"
He tried to keep his tone calm, although he was angry, he didn't want to scare Alisha. He wanted to
hear her true thoughts.
Alisha's small body trembled slightly. She raised her clear eyes and said innocently, "I just want my
daddy and mommy to be with me forever. Every time I go out and see other kids with their happy
families, I feel envious."
Luther's lips parted, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
In Alisha's heart, Athena was her mommy. It would be difficult to change that kind of attachment, even
though Athena had been so cruel to Alisha. She still longed for her supposed "mommy."
He really wanted to tell Alisha now that Athena wasn't her real mommy, Joyce was. She not only had a
daddy and a mommy, but she would soon have two younger brothers. Their family would have six
members, joyful and happy.
But he held back.
He just held Alisha tightly in his arms.
"Don't worry, Daddy will never leave you again," he promised. With Athena becoming more and more
reckless, he couldn't leave Alisha alone.
Alisha nodded vigorously and shook her hand, "Daddy, don't worry. I'll get better soon."
A sour feeling surged in Luther's throat.
He felt heartache for Alisha's maturity.
On the side, Jamie watched the scene and sighed quietly. With Mr. Warner's capabilities, dealing with
Athena shouldn't be difficult. However, Alisha was caught in the middle, making Mr. Warner hesitate.
Jamie felt a tinge of frustration on Mr. Warner's behalf. He didn't know when such days would end.
After arriving at the seaside villa, before entering the house, Alisha clearly showed reluctance and fear.
After all, she was just a child who had been whipped. The pain and terrifying memories were hard to
dispel.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to return here.
Luther sensed this and knew that the first step he needed to take was to sever the emotional
connection between Alisha and Athena.novelbin
He carried Alisha into the living room.
As soon as they stepped inside, they saw the mess all around, with broken porcelain, shattered glass,
and various bottles lying all over the floor.
Several men in black were tidying up, and nearby trash bags were already filled.
Athena was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her face gloomy, exuding a powerful aura of
negativity. Everything around her seemed to freeze.
Joyce had given her a warning, and she had smashed almost everything she could. It still didn't
alleviate her anger. She wanted to tear Joyce apart. But she couldn't do it now.
Joyce, after all, was not easy to deal with. Moreover, she had intentionally pulled down Athena's
shoulder, possibly discovering her gunshot wound. It seemed that Joyce, in collaboration with Otis, had
figured out the incidents involving Anderson's kidnapping. Athena wasn't afraid of Joyce finding out. In
fact, she wanted to expose everything.
Let the storm come more violently.
Then she turned her head and saw Luther bringing Alisha back.
She stood up, a seductive smile playing on her lips, pretending to be concerned, "Alisha, are you
feeling better?"
Alisha widened her beautiful eyes, staring blankly at the messy living room, feeling a bit lost.
Thenshe looked at Athena and couldn't hide her fear in her voice, "Mommy, did you make this mess?
Mommy, are you mad at Alisha?"
Immediately, she shook her head vigorously, shaking it like a rattle drum. "Mommy, I didn't tell Daddy
anything. Mommy, please don't be angry. I really didn't say anything."
Luther held Alisha tighter, feeling his heart ache as he witnessed this scene, which had triggered Alisha
again.
Athena's face turned awkward as she explained, "Alisha, this is just unwanted trash. Mommy is just
tidying up. Be a good girl, Alisha."
She stepped forward, wanting to touch Alisha's hair to show her affection.
But surprisingly, Alisha avoided her and shrank into Luther's embrace.
Athena's hand froze in mid-air before awkwardly retracting.
Damn it, Alisha was starting to distance herself from her. This was not a good sign. She pretended to
smile and said, "Alisha, don't blame Mommy. Mommy was just a little careless today. Mommy bought
you many new toys, they're all in your room. Do you want to go and see?"
"And, Mommy and Daddy have a good relationship. Alisha, don't worry. We will always be by your
side," Athena said, intentionally moving closer to Luther.
In front of Alisha, Luther couldn't push Athena away. He endured the discomfort and held Alisha as they
walked towards the room. "Be a good girl, Alisha. Would you like to play with your new toys in your
room?"
Looking at the harmonious scene, Alisha smiled sweetly and nodded obediently.
