Chapter 1721: Divorce Agreement

Chapter 1721: Divorce Agreement

In the evening, Jamie was once again brought to Athena's seaside villa

with a black hood over his head.

Entering Alisha's room, Jamie quickly asked, "Mr. Warner, what

happened? Alisha shouldn't be running a fever anymore."

Luther stood up and made space on the bedside. "Alisha got a whip

wound on her arm, and it might be infected. I'm worried it might worsen.

Take a look."

"What!" Jamie was shocked and immediately sat down next to Alisha.

"How can things get worse at a time like this?"

He carefully examined her, uncovered the wound, and conducted a

quick blood test for Alisha. Then he murmured, "This is bad, Mr.

Warner. Alisha needs to go to the hospital. We don't know which

bacteria she's infected with, and she needs to undergo bacterial culture

in a large hospital to use the appropriate antibiotics. I can't just

administer medication without knowing. If we can't control the spread of

bacteria, it will be very dangerous and may lead to sepsis or other

blood diseases. Alisha's body is at its weakest right now."

Upon hearing this, Luther quickly took out a thin blanket from the

cabinet. He quickly gathered a few things and toys, wrapped Alisha in

the blanket, and held her in his arms.

“Let's go, we're going to the hospital right now."

Jamie looked at the door worriedly. “But they won't let us take Alisha

away."

Frowning, Luther walked into the hallway with Alisha in his arms.

As expected, Athena and a group of people blocked the doorway.

"She's not allowed to go anywhere. Having the family doctor come is

already my maximum tolerance!" Athena abandoned her wheelchair

and stood directly in the living room.

Jamie looked at Athena with confusion. Every time he saw this woman,

she was sitting in a wheelchair. It turned out to be a pretense. This

woman was truly cunning, pretending to be weak to gain sympathy

while harboring a venomous heart.

Luther's anger surged. "Get out of the way. Alisha's condition is

worsening, and she must go to the hospital."

He kicked one of the black-clad individuals in front of him and saw

another one approaching from behind. He held Alisha tightly and swept

his long legs backward, instantly kicking the person away.

Two more black-clad individuals surrounded him, but Luther protected

Alisha while swiftly taking them down.

The black-clad individuals didn't dare to make a move. After all, they

had harmed Mr. Warner, and Athena would also take their lives.

The atmosphere was tense. Athena's eyes darkened. "Luther, if you

forcibly take Alisha away, do you think I won't detonate the explosive

device?"

Luther clenched his fist, knowing that if Athena had the detonator in her

hand, she could end Alisha'’s life at any moment. How could he let her

restrict him? How could he swallow his pride?

Jamie spoke up at this moment. "Alisha needs to go to a large hospital

for blood culture and tetanus shots. She needs to receive a

comprehensive sterile treatment that can't be provided at home. Miss

Ballard, I have really tried my best."

Luther didn't want to listen and walked straight ahead.

Athena furrowed her brow. What if they secretly removed the micro-

explosive device from Alisha's body at the hospital? She wouldn't be

able to control Luther anymore. He still refused to take the antidote she

had obtained, and this matter remained unresolved. She had no way to

deal with it.

She took out the detonator she always carried with her and raised it in

front of Luther. "If you dare to leave, I will press the button

immediately.”

Luther paused his steps because he knew this madwoman was

capable of anything.

"Press the button, and you'll lose everything," he turned around and

warned sternly. "I will make you suffer to the point where you can't bear

it, where you'll die without a complete body!"

His gaze was fixated on the detonator in Athena's hand as he

calculated how much confidence he had in snatching it away.

"Heh, Luther, shall we make a bet?" Athena wasn't afraid of his threats.

"And don't think that trying to snatch the detonator from my hand will

work. I've told you, it can be controlled through the network, timed

control, all under my manipulation. I can take her life in an instant!"

Luther almost crushed his teeth. He didn't dare to bet because, in his

eyes, Athena's life was worthless, but Alisha was the most precious

treasure in the world. They couldn't be compared.

"Alisha must go to the hospital tonight, her life is at stake. Athena, it

was you who injured her, not that I don't know! Are you even human?"

Luther gritted his teeth, every word bursting with anger, his eyes almost

bulging out, ready to devour.

If it weren't for Jamie holding him back, he might have lost his sanity.

“Luther, I didn't mean to hurt Alisha. It was purely an accident. I didn't

know she was standing by the door. How is her whip wound related to

me? I don't want anything to happen to her either. After all, the three of

us are a family, and we should live happily together.” Athena played

with her hair, admiring her newly done manicure, repeatedly touching it.

She twisted her body in an affected manner, approaching Luther. Her

blood-red fingernails lightly brushed across his handsome cheek, and a

seductive smile appeared on her lips. "Why didn't you agree to my

conditions? I have no choice.”

"What do you want?" Luther suppressed the disgust in his heart,

holding his breath.

Athena snapped her fingers, instructing Jacob, "Go and fetch the

documents from my bedside."

"Yes, Miss Athena," Jacob nodded and quickly ran upstairs to retrieve

the documents Athena wanted. He handed them to her.

Luther squinted his eyes, wondering what kind of game Athena was

playing.

In front of Luther, Athena opened the documents and slowly said, "If

you want to take Alisha to the hospital, it can be done. I'll send

someone to accompany you. And if you sign this document, I'll let you

leave immediately.”

Jamie, who was close by, glanced at the documents and drew in a

sharp breath. It turned out to be an application for a divorce agreement.

Luther saw it clearly, and his forehead tightened. Damn Athena, she

was forcing him to get a divorce.

Even when he repeatedly misunderstood Joyce in the past, he couldn't

bear to sign the divorce papers. In the end, he didn't even stamp his

seal on the divorce certificate. What about now?!

Once he signed this divorce agreement, if Joyce also signed it, it would

take effect immediately.

"Sign it," Athena opened the pen cap and handed it over.

"Alisha is waiting to go to the hospital. Once you sign, Jacob will

accompany you," she smirked triumphantly, lightly caressing her own

cheek, as if she didn't care about the slap he gave her. In the end, she

was the winner.

As long as she held the trump card, he couldn't escape from her grasp.

Luther clenched his fists, the anger causing the veins on the back of his

hand to stand out. He wanted to tear the paper in front of him. Tear

apart the vicious woman in front of him.

But he had to consider Alisha. She was his Achilles’ heel.

He almost crushed the pen in his hand, hesitating for a long time. In the

end, he hastily signed his name.

At the moment the pen touched the paper, he felt as if his heart had

been ripped away, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Joyce, I'm sorry.

Now, he could only hope that Joyce wouldn't easily sign...
