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.

He quickly locked the IP address and clapped excitedly. "Great! Finally

tracked it down! Oh yeah!"
