Chapter 1738: I Don't Want It Unconditionally

Athena was pushed to a desperate situation. No matter what, she

couldn't let Luther die. Otherwise, what was the point of everything she

had done?

“Based on the timing, you should need to take two antidotes. You can't

delay it any longer," she softened her tone and advised, "I don't ask for

anything in return, just take them without worry.”

Calculating in her mind, even if she gave Luther two antidotes, she still

had three left. With this matter, she could still control him. For now, she

would ease up and not confront him. If the toxin spread and became

irreversible, it would be disastrous.

Luther paused his work and glanced at the antidotes placed next to the

computer.

Athena continued to persuade, "Brother Luther, take the antidotes

quickly. If the poisoning worsens, you'll be in grave danger. I just want

to be with you forever. I won't harm you.” She even brought a glass of

water and handed it to him herself.

Luther suddenly stood up, raised his hand, and knocked over the glass

of water that Athena had brought.

The clean floor was instantly splashed with water stains.

Then, Luther, in front of Athena, crushed the two antidotes in his hand.

"No!" Athena exclaimed in disbelief. "Don't destroy the antidotes!"

She was genuinely panicked. She hadn't expected Luther to crush the

antidotes. She had put so much effort into obtaining them. He had

destroyed them so easily?

Luther looked at her coldly, his smile deep.

He slowly opened his hand, and the crushed powder slipped through

his fingertips, gradually dissipating into the air. The nearly white powder

couldn't be seen clearly, blending into the surroundings.

“I don't want them unconditionally.”

He dropped those words and immediately put away his computer. He

turned around and headed to the room where Alisha was.

Athena stared at Luther's retreating figure incredulously. She was

shocked, angry, and her lips trembled with frustration. He had

destroyed the two antidotes-life-saving antidotes. How much effort had

she put in to obtain them? And he casually destroyed them?

“Luther, are you seeking death? Do you love Joyce that much? You

refuse to be with me?" Athena shouted after Luther's departing figure.

She quickly crouched down, trying to pick up the powder from the

ground, but it was useless. The powder had the same color as the floor,

and she couldn't see it clearly. Some of the powder had dissolved in the

water stains she had spilled on the floor earlier. It was ruined,

completely ruined!

Luther suddenly turned around, his voice devoid of warmth. "Even if I

die, I won't let you control me. Put away your delusions. If you're willing

to remove the detonator from Alisha’s body, I might spare your life. But

if you insist on harming the child, I'll make sure you have no resting

place in death!"

Athena's porcelain-like face instantly turned pale.

At this critical moment, he refused to back down. He even made

threats. She couldn't help but doubt whether she could outlast him. She

had thought that as long as she kept him by her side, he would

eventually realize her worth, accept her, and never leave her. After all,

she was the lover that all men dreamed of.

His resistance to her charms shocked her. In these days, no matter

what she did, even wearing the most sexy and alluring clothes, he

didn't spare her a glance.

Luther entered Alisha's room, closed the door behind him, and shut

Athena out.

Alisha was sitting on the carpet, unpacking her new toys. Among them

was a set of educational toys, and she was currently studying the

mysteries inside.

Luther walked over, lifted Alisha from the ground, and carried her to the

sofa.

"Be a good girl, the floor is cold, and you've just recovered from

pneumonia. Be careful,” he said.

Alisha obediently nodded, "Okay, I know, Daddy."

Luther accompanied Alisha for a while. "It's time for you to sleep. It's

getting late."

Alisha nodded, "Okay. I've also opened this toy. It's quite simple.

Daddy, can you buy me more challenging puzzle toys?"

Luther ruffled her hair, "Of course. I'll buy you the most advanced

computer with many puzzle games, including your favorite ring puzzles,

riddles, and number games."

Alisha nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, yes! I want it!"

She showed a face full of excitement, and her sparkling eyes were filled

with anticipation.

Luther watched Alisha with satisfaction. Although Alisha had been in a

coma and had only awakened less than a year ago, she was rapidly

absorbing information fromthe outside world at an explosive pace. Her

intelligence was remarkable, and her ability to learn was fast. She was

truly a remarkable child, the child of him and Joyce. They were both

exceptional individuals.

He carried Alisha and went to brush her teeth and get her ready for

bed.

Then he lifted Alisha onto the bed, turned off the main light, leaving only

a small night light.

The dim yellow light flickered in the room, creating a cozy atmosphere.

As the environment darkened, Alisha grew drowsy, yawning and feeling

her eyelids becoming heavy.

"Sleep now, I'll be here with you," Luther said, checking Alisha's

wounds. Thanks to the timely treatment and accurate use of

medication, the whip marks would not cause significant harm to Alisha.

Before falling asleep, Alisha suddenly asked Luther, "Daddy, did you

and Mommy have a fight?"

Luther was taken aback.

Alisha continued, “I heard a little bit of your argument in the room. Did

Mommy break everything because of me?"

Luther shook his head, "We didn't fight. We were discussing something.

Daddy's voice was a bit loud and disturbed you. I'm sorry about that.

And breaking things had nothing to do with you. Mommy was upset

because of other people. Alisha, you're still young, and there are many

things you don't understand. But you can trust Daddy. When you grow

up a little more, Daddy will explain everything to you clearly. Your

current task is to focus on getting better and staying healthy so that

Daddy can take you out to play, okay?"

Alisha's eyes shimmered with bright light. “I want to go out and play. I

want to see the sea. They say it's beautiful.”

Luther was once again astonished.

Alisha had never seen the sea? Had Athena kept her confined all this

time? This unforgivable woman, living by the seaside but never taking

Alisha to the coast, even for the most basic experience.

He felt extreme heartache and caressed Alisha's head.

Children are the purest and kindest. Give them a mouthful of rice, and

they'll treat you like their own family.

No, he must take Alisha away as soon as possible. He couldn't let her

stay with Athena any longer.

"Sleep tight, Alisha, be a good girl."

Luther gently caressed Alisha's tender cheek.

As Alisha grew drowsy, her eyelids gradually drooped. Feeling at ease,

she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Luther waited until Alisha was sound asleep before leaving the room

and heading outside.

“It's late. Where are you going?" Athena heard Luther's movements and

stood up to stop him.

"Do you still need to ask when you have in-car surveillance? There's no

need for unnecessary questions,” Luther replied without looking back.

No one dared to stop him.
