Chapter 1770: Tracking the Signal
On the other side.
At the seaside villa, the sun was exceptionally bright today, and there was no wind, which was rare.
Luther took Alisha outside to bask in the sun. Jamie had specifically instructed him to be careful of a
relapse of Alisha's pneumonia. She shouldn't be exposed to drafts or cold temperatures.
Therefore, on this windless day, Luther let Alisha enjoy the warmth of the sun. He brought her to the
beach, and Alisha was extremely happy. She sat on the ground, playing with the sand, picking up
seashells, and building sandcastles.
Ever since Alisha mentioned that she wanted to see the sea, Luther had been keeping it in mind.
Today, he finally had the opportunity to bring Alisha out. Although Athena's people were following them,
he didn't care anymore as long as Alisha was happy.
Alisha lifted her head from the sand with excitement. "Daddy, so this is the sea. The sea is so beautiful.
I love the blue sea and the golden beach. I want to come here again."
Luther smiled as he patted Alisha's head. "Yes, why not? The sea is very close. I'll bring you here
often."
Alisha nodded. "Mhm, Daddy, I don't want to get sick again."
Upon hearing these words, Luther felt a pang of discomfort in his heart. Alisha had suffered so much,
from being born in a coma, having a weak body, and now having an explosive device implanted in her.
She had endured so much pain.
"Daddy, what's wrong between you and Mommy? I've noticed that you two never talk. Mommy's face
doesn't look good every day, and it scares me." Alisha suddenly tugged at Luther's clothes, her voice
trembling.
Luther softly asked, "Alisha, what are you afraid of?"
Alisha's eyes were filled with anticipation. "I want Daddy and Mommy to love each other, and I want our
family to be happy. I want to be with you every day."
Luther looked at the sincerity in Alisha's eyes. He suddenly had the urge to tell her right now that
Athena, that wicked woman, was not her mother at all.
He cautiously asked, "Alisha, if you had another mommy, would you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Alisha suddenly stood up from the ground, her face turning red with
excitement. "Daddy, are they telling the truth? Do you really have another woman outside? Do you
have other children?!"
Luther was stunned. He didn't expect Alisha's reaction to be so intense. He quickly picked up Alisha
and held her in his arms. "Where did you hear that? What else did you hear?"
Alisha stared at Luther defensively. "I overheard Mommy's subordinates talking privately. They said
Daddy didn't want to stay here, that Daddy had another woman and other children. Mommy always told
me to help her keep Daddy, so that our family could stay together forever. I think Mommy is right. I don't
want our family to break apart!"
As she spoke, Alisha struggled out of Luther's arms and stood with her hands on her hips.
"Daddy, I hope you never associate with other women again! Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore. I
will hate you!"
Luther's eyes darkened. It seemed that it wouldn't be easy to make Alisha accept Joyce. Alisha had
been implanted with more than just the detonator in her chest; she had also been implanted with those
damn thoughts!
He was running out of time.
If he couldn't detoxify her, he had to send Alisha back to Joyce within his limited lifespan. He had
worked so hard to gain Alisha's trust and dependence through time and companionship.
If he wasn't there anymore, he couldn't even imagine that Alisha would be ruined by Athena for the rest
of her life and would never accept Joyce as her true mother. The real mother and daughter couldn't
reunite, and instead, they had to accept thieves as their family. Damn it! He clenched his fists tightly,
suppressing the anger in his heart, unwilling to explode in front of Alisha.
He took a deep breath and asked Alisha again, "If Daddy and Mommy were to separate in the future,
who would you choose? To stay with Daddy or Mommy? I'm just asking, hypothetically."
Alisha struggled with the question, fidgeting with her hands in confusion. "I don't know, I don't know..."
Suddenly, she burst into tears, wailing, "Daddy, why are you asking me such a question? Does that
mean Daddy doesn't want Mommy anymore? WaaahLuther couldn't bear to ask any further. He quickly
embraced Alisha, saying, "I'm sorry, don't cry. Daddy was just asking casually, there's no hidden
meaning. Don't worry, it won't happen. Daddy will never abandon Alisha."
Alisha cried sorrowfully. She had seriously considered the question just now. She had opened her eyes
and the first person she saw was Mommy. Of course, she couldn't bear to be apart from her. Although
she had seen the terrifying side of Mommy the last time, Mommy had treated her well before that, at
least much better than Fair. Daddy made her feel secure, and she couldn't be without Daddy. She didn't
know how to choose.
Luther took out a tissue and wiped away Alisha's tears. "Don't cry, don't cry. Do you still want to play?
How about we go home and play on the computer? I'll play with you."
Alisha sniffled and nodded. "Okay."
She had a great time today, although there was a little sadness at the end, it didn't matter. She believed
that as long as she was there, Daddy and Mommy would reconcile and everything would be fine. She
planned to try her best to do something to improve their relationship.
Luther carried Alisha and got into the car. After returning to the villa, a nanny took Alisha to take a bath,
washing away the sand and seawater from her body.
Then, Alisha came out wearing a beautiful pajama and threw herself into Luther's arms.
"Daddy, let's play on the computer together."
After saying that, Alisha turned on the computer. As the screen lit up, she opened a game and started
playing.
Luther watched from the side, occasionally helping Alisha. As Alisha connected to the internet and
played an online game, his gaze gradually grew deeper.
On the other side, at the Warner residence.
These past few days, Anderson had been tracking the computer code left by Luther. There were so
many networks, and he didn't know when the other party would come online. It wasn't easy to find. He
had created a software himself and set up tracking alerts, but there had been no progress.
Suddenly, his screen lit up and made a "beep" sound.
Anderson's eyes brightened. He had come! He quickly sat down in front of the computer.
A small dot appeared in the software, blinking and jumping.novelbin
He quickly locked the IP address and clapped excitedly. "Great! Finally tracked it down! Oh yeah!"
