Chapter 1736: Are You Mad At Alisha?

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.

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.
