Chapter 1780: Please Don't Leave Me
Reuben struck a victorious pose and placed the sleeping Alisha in a safe corner. He took out his pistol,
prepared to be ready for battle at any moment.
Luther aimed his gun at Athena and coldly said, "You're surrounded. Order your people to drop their
weapons and retreat immediately. Tonight, I won't take your life. Just leave."
At the same time, Joyce also aimed her gun and slowly advanced until she stood opposite Athena.
"Drop your gun. Your people are no match for us!" Joyce shouted coldly. "Don't make futile resistance."
Athena's face turned extremely ugly, and she bit her lower lip hard, causing it to bleed.
Luther's gaze remained fixed on Joyce as she approached. His thin lips trembled slightly as he held
back his excitement. He had caused her worry, and he felt guilty about Alisha. It was all the karmic
consequences of his own actions that led to the current predicament.
He didn't go home, leaving her behind and neglecting her. For Alisha's sake, he even signed the
divorce agreement.
If they hadn't successfully removed the detonator from Alisha's body today, he wouldn't be able to face
her.
Joyce also looked at Luther, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and an unstoppable tenderness.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, she gently shook her head and comforted him, "You don't have to say
anything. I understand. I don't blame you. I just want you to come back to me safely. I need you, and
our children need you."
Luther was even more moved in his heart. He couldn't wait another moment. He put down the gun in
his hand because he knew that having her by his side was enough. He walked quickly to her side, even
in front of Athena, and dominantly embraced her.
He held her tightly, not wanting to let go. "Thank you for trusting me. Don't worry, our daughter is still
alive. I rescued her, and she's fine now."
Joyce didn't put down her gun. She allowed him to hold her, feeling the warmth flowing from his body,
so real. Even the child in her belly seemed to sense her father's return and became excited, kicking in
her womb.
Seeing this scene, Reuben averted his gaze. Ah, a public display of affection, disregarding the eyes of
others. Did he die or something?
Athena watched them embrace with anger that was about to explode.
She roared, "Joyce! I want you dead!"
Joyce looked at Athena coldly. "It was you who colluded with Otis, repeatedly violated boundaries, and
interfered with Pascaylia's military affairs. It was you who kidnapped Anderson. And it was you who
took Alisha away. I know everything. It should be me who wants you dead. Ten thousand deaths
wouldn't be enough. But, I won't take your life. Because you have a good brother. Christian saved my
life. Out of respect for him, I'll let you leave tonight. Now, get out of here!!"
As she finished speaking, she shouted loudly.
The black-clad people around Athena had lost their backbone. Although they confronted the guns, it
was clear that they were trembling in fear. They were surrounded by warlords, special police, and
mercenaries. They had no chance of winning. They didn't want to die, but they had to obey Athena's
orders.
Now, when they heard Joyce say they could leave unharmed, the black-clad people all felt the urge to
retreat. They took a few steps back involuntarily.
Athena saw this and let out a furious roar, "Who dares to leave? If they don't die here, I'll make sure
they live worse than death!"
Athena's brutal methods were witnessed by everyone. For a moment, no one dared to move.
Joyce frowned. Athena was stubborn. If it weren't for Joyce's reluctance to use her gun and escalate
the situation, she and the people Luther brought could have subdued them all.
Luther released his hold on Joyce and took a step forward. "Are you still willing to sacrifice your lives
for her? Have you forgotten how she treated you? Leaving her and returning to the Ballard Group is
your best choice."
"Shut up!" Athena shouted. "Luther, don't forget that you're poisoned. The remaining antidote is with
me."
She laughed manically at Joyce, her expression twisted and tormented. "What's the use of having anovelbin
dying person return to your side? He can only survive by staying by my side. Hahaha, don't you know
about his poisoning? It's already in his bones. Otis gave me the antidote. Don't you know that?!
Hahaha!"
Joyce's expression changed dramatically. She had been to the bioresearch laboratoryJoyce's
expression changed dramatically. She had been to the bioresearch laboratory as she suspected, and
Luther had obtained the antidote from Athena. So, all the remaining antidote was in Athena's hands.
Trembling, she looked at Luther, feeling an immense pain. She didn't want him to die.
Even if he never returned to her side, as long as she knew he was alive, it would be enough.
Luther looked into her shining eyes filled with tears. He also felt reluctant. How could he let go of her?
And their four children they shared.
However...
Luther sneered, "Athena, the antidote in your hands is useless. Throw it away. Otis didn't tell you that
the poison was created with immature technology, which made the antidote unstable. Even if there is
an antidote, it can't completely detoxify. I only have three months left to live."
"What?!" Athena seemed to have received a huge blow. How was it possible? The antidote was
useless? So, Luther was poisoned and there was no cure? He was really going to die?
She looked at Luther in disbelief, shaking her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face as she
murmured, "How is this possible? How is this possible? You're going to die? You're really going to die?"
She couldn't believe such devastating news. She could barely stand, her shoulders trembling
uncontrollably, feeling as if the world was spinning.
She looked at Joyce, and the sorrowful expression on Joyce's face confirmed that all of this was true.
She felt as if her chest was about to suffocate. Was everything she had done in vain? She couldn't
accept it. She hadn't obtained Luther, and now he was going to die. She had waited for twenty years,
but what was it all for?
Joyce's mind was also in turmoil. She struggled to keep her gun steady but her whole body trembled
violently. Grief and despair spread everywhere. She was in so much pain, and she couldn't imagine
what she would do without Luther in the future.
Luther gently embraced her shoulders, giving her a comforting strength and helping her calm down.
Taking a deep breath, Joyce forced herself to calm down. She couldn't lose control. There was still
hope, she, Cecelia, and Dr. Orik and Jocelyn were all working hard. As long as they worked hard, there
was hope.
"I don't believe it, Luther, please don't leave me, I beg you." Unable to accept this devastating news,
Athena suddenly cried and knelt on the ground, begging her father not to leave.
"Mummy, what's wrong?"
No one noticed that at this moment, Alisha had already woken up. She walked unsteadily out of the
corner and saw her mother kneeling on the ground, pleading with her father not to leave.
And her father, holding another woman in his arms.
They towered above her, pointing guns at her mom.
