You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1717: Can | Hold Her?

"Hehe, | didn't mishear, did I?" Luther's thin lips curved into a sneer.

After more than ten years, it was the first tChristian had voluntarily reminded him.

Christian's handsface stiffened, showing a hint of embarrassment, but more of it was anger.

"Athena has finally woken up. She has been in a coma all this time. Don't get involved with her anymore. Stay away from her. So,

what are you doing here? Why don't you leave?" Christian turned away, avoiding Luther's gaze, still reluctant to face him.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs," Luther sneered. "If you have the ability, you'd better take care of your sister."

Christian furrowed his brows. "My family matters don't concern you. | will naturally take care of her. What about Joyce? Have you

thought about her? She cto see me!"

Luther narrowed his eyes sharply, his gaze piercing Christian. "What did you say to her?"

Christian sneered, "What did | say? I've said everything that needed to be said about the past. Are you afraid? You know very well

what you've done."

"lI am very clear in my heart, but it's always you who are unclear. Christian, we used to be friends, but you have always been blind.

Haven't you realized it yet? As for Joyce, | will handle it. | appreciate you saving her, and if you ever need help, | will definitely

repay this favor." Luther said solemnly.

"Handle it? Is this how you handle it?" Christian's brows furrowed in anger. Joyce wouldn't cto him unless it was absolutely

necessary. He could see the turmoil in Joyce's heart, and he didn't want her to endure any more pain.

"Is this how you treat Joyce? She almost died, and | saved her just so that she could suffer at your hands again? Luther, | warn you,

if you can't make her happy, don't blme for taking her away from you." Christian's face turned cold as he made a firm

statement.

Luther clenched his fists tightly.

He clearly felt that compared to four years ago, Christian was deliberately targeting him, which was why he approached Joyce and

was somewhat attracted to her. He had always thought that the person Christian liked was Athena.

But now, he suddenly becuncertain.

Christian's expression when mentioning Joyce was clearly different from before. Luther gritted his teeth, feeling an unpleasant

sensation rising in his heart. Damn it, emotions change over time, and he had overlooked it.

Luther took a sudden step forward, approaching Christian, and grabbed his collar without hesitation. "What did you say? Let me

advise you, don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

Christian immediately grabbed Luther's wrist.

"What? Do you still want to have it both ways? Do you think | will just stand by?"

The tension between the two men was palpable, and they were on the verge of a fight.

The black-clad figures behind them were getting anxious. Mr. Ballard had already led his men into the villa, and they couldn't stop

them. If they made a bigger commotion, Athena would definitely find out when she returned. They knew firsthand what she was

capable of, and she would surely make them suffer.

Christian's eyes were burning red. "If you insist on staying here with Athena, | will take Joyce away right now and bring her back to

my house."

"You dare! Christian, lettell you, don't you even think about touching a single hair on her. She belongs to me. You're dreaming!"

Luther was furious, his hand gripping Christian's collar tightly, his fist clenched, his eyes fixed on Christian's alluring profile, ready

to strike.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious child's voice sounded behind Luther.

It instantly brought Luther back to his senses. It was Alisha. Alisha had been awakened by the commotion outside.

He immediately released Christian, turned around quickly, and rushed to Alisha, lifting her up in his arms.

"Alisha, why did you wake up?" he asked softly.

"Daddy, were you fighting?" Alisha's bright eyes looked around, taking in Christian, and asked innocently with her childish voice.

"How is that possible? Daddy and Uncle were just playing around. We weren't fighting," Luther quickly denied, his face completely

calmed down, and all traces of anger vanished.

Christian looked at Alisha, staring at her for a while before suddenly realizing.

"This is... Alisha?"

At first, he wasn't entirely sure. Alisha had been kept alive with tubes since birth, and he had watched her grow up. He had spent

three long years with her, and unfortunately, Alisha had passed away. He remembered it clearly. He had mournfully held the urn

containingher ashes, carefully placing it in the grave.

Alisha was actually alive?

He couldn't be mistaken. The slender eyebrows, slightly upturned eyes, and delicate chin. He never expected Alisha, who opened

her eyes, to be so beautiful and lively, surpassing his imagination.

Who else could call Luther "daddy" besides Alisha?

Alisha leaned against Luther's embrace, hooking her arms around his neck. With her big eyes blinking, she looked at Christian

curiously and asked, "I'm Alisha. Daddy named me. Uncle, who are you?"

"l..." Christian opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to introduce himself.

"Daddy, is he your friend?" Alisha asked innocently, her eyes shining brightly.

Luther... He was caught off guard by Alisha's question, not knowing how to answer.

Christian looked at Alisha, as if finally understanding something. "You stayed here because of her?"

Luther gave Christian a cold sidelong glance. "Don't you know? Are you surprised?" From Christian's expression, Luther could tell
