Chapter 1805: Grandma'S Breakfast

Chapter 1805: Grandma's Breakfast

Luxurious mansion in the city.

Joyce had been resting at home for a few days, confined to bed and

rarely getting up. Whenever she needed to eat in the dining room or

take a bath in the bathroom, Luther would personally carry her.

After a few days, her physical condition had stabilized completely. Both

twins were doing well, and there were no signs of any complications.

Today, Jamie came to give her a comprehensive check-up, and she

was now able to move around the house normally, as long as she

avoided strenuous exercise and minimized going out.

Being at home for several days was starting to drive Joyce crazy.

However, she wasn't idle.

She went through the large amount of information Cecelia had given

her, one by one. These were all about the research personnel from the

secret laboratory and information about their families, including the

items and books they had in their homes, as well as the web pages

they had visited that could still be traced.

The workload was significant, and Joyce couldn't finish it alone.

Sometimes she asked Darrin to help with the search, to see if they

could find any useful information. Anderson also helped in organizing

the collected information, creating mind maps and entering them into

the system he had developed.

This morning, after Anderson got up and finished breakfast, he ran into

the room and said to Joyce, "Mommy, I made a new system last night.

After your information is entered, it can automatically analyze it by

connecting to the database. If there are any internal patterns among

them, the system will give a reminder. Remember to pay attention,

okay?"

Joyce gently touched the back of Anderson's head. "Okay, you're so

amazing. You should go to school now. You haven't gone for a few

days, and the other kids must miss you."

Anderson nodded. "Yes, it's already planned. Uncle Aaron will take me

to school today. From now on, he will stay at school to protect me."

Mommy wanted him to grow up like a normal child, go to school

normally, and interact with peers normally. He understood Mommy's

intentions. Now he didn't resist going to school anymore.

Just then, Luther walked into the room and sat beside Joyce,

embracing her from behind.

“I've arranged for Aaron to protect Anderson 24/7, just in case,” he said

softly.

"Okay. By the way, Athena seems to be quieter recently?" Joyce asked,

without avoiding Anderson when she asked. After all, Anderson was

involved, and she needed him to understand the whole process.

Luther nodded. "Athena took a bullet in her shoulder. For a while, she

won't be able to make waves."

“I noticed that you intentionally shot her in the same spot where she

was previously injured. She was on the Black Hawk helicopter at the

time, and I had sniped through her shoulder. This time, the wound is

compounded, and she probably won't be able to bear it. It will take a

long time for her to recover,” Joyce said, setting aside the materials she

had been reading.

Luther sneered. "Compared to the pain she inflicted on Alisha, this

punishment is light for her. She's not as strong as outsiders think. I've

noticed that she has been injecting painkillers. The dosage keeps

increasing.”

"Doesn't that lead to addiction?" Joyce frowned.

Luther nodded. "Yes, that's why I intentionally increased her dosage.

Combined with her shoulder being pierced again this time, she

probably won't be able to live without painkillers from now on. It will

become a major weakness for her."

He had done it on purpose. When Athena became dependent on

painkillers, the dosage would only increase. From enduring the pain

and then injecting when it became unbearable, to needing to inject

every day, and finally, only being able to sustain it for a few hours. Her

addiction to painkillers would grow, her dependence would become

stronger, and she would do less harm. Athena, that wicked woman,

wasn't worth a single death. He had already given her a bargain.

Joyce didn't say anything.

Athena was still a threat, even though she was currently quiet. She

would definitely make a comeback, and they had to be extremely

cautious. Unless they completely eradicated OGW and drove Athena

back to Rohomes, this matter would never end.

Speaking of Alisha, Anderson couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, any news

about my little sister?"

Immediately after Anderson asked, Joyce's phone rang.

"It's a message from Grandma.” Anderson keenly saw the message

prompt on the screen.

Joyce glanced at it and a smile filled her lips. “What a coincidence.

Let's open it together and see.”

She clicked on it. It was a video message from Cecelia, and Alisha was

in the center of the frame.

They played the video, and in the frame, Alisha wassitting at the dining

table, having breakfast. She looked lively and her face appeared to be

in good spirits. Her cheeks were rosy, her skin fair and translucent. She

had cute little braids, and her mouth was full.

Luther leaned in, and the three of them watched the video together.

Seeing Alisha, the longing in his heart stirred, making him feel uneasy.

He missed the days when he would hold her in his arms.

"Wow, so much delicious food. These are Grandma's best dishes. This

is my favorite egg cake. Little sister looks very happy. She should be

getting used to her new surroundings,” Anderson said excitedly,

pointing at the screen.

In the video, Cecelia picked up a mini steamed dumpling for Alisha, and

she ate them one after another. She sat close to Cecelia, her little face

beaming with a smile, and her eyes shining brightly.

"Is it delicious?" Cecelia asked gently.

"Mmm, Grandma, you're amazing!" Alisha nodded eagerly, unable to

resist hugging Cecelia.

Joyce watched this warm scene and couldn't help but feel her eyes

moisten. Alisha was receiving the best care, and her chest injury

needed time to heal and special care to prevent infection. The military

compound could provide the best medical resources. Her mother,

Cecelia, took care of Alisha's daily life attentively. What else could she

worry about?

She just hoped that Alisha would accept her soon and call her

"Mommy."

The video ended.

Luther gently patted Joyce on the back. "Don't worry, Alisha is doing

well. It's better for her to be where she is now. If she were with us, she

would resist and be triggered. It's better this way, where she can

recover peacefully.”

Joyce nodded. "Yes, I know. Anderson, it's time for you to leave.”

She glanced at the time and reminded Anderson.

"Oh, right. I'm going to be late." Anderson quickly got off the bed and

rushed to the door. "Goodbye, Mommy and Daddy!"

After saying that, he rushed out the door.

Once Anderson left.

Joyce asked, "What about Vicki? Did Felix find her?"

Luther shook his head. “It's strange. I heard that Felix actually found

Vicki. But Vicki didn't come back with him. I wanted to ask Felix

yesterday, but his mood wasn't good, so I didn't inquire further. I'll find

out today what happened.”

"Okay." Joyce nodded.

Suddenly, she reached out and wrapped her arm around Luther's waist,

holding him tightly. "Don't go, stay here with me for a while."

After searching for several days without finding any clues, she felt an

inexplicable sense of anxiety. At this moment, she didn't want anything

else, she just wanted to hold him and feel his presence.

Luther reached behind and embraced her, gently kissing her forehead,

and softly said, "Okay."
