You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1738: | 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, "|

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 becirreversible, 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. | just

want to be with you forever. | 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.

"lI 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 scolor as

the floor, and she couldn't see it clearly. Sof 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 | die, | won't let you control me. Put away your delusions. If

you're willing to remove the detonator from Alisha's body, | 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, | know, Daddy."

Luther accompanied Alisha for a while. "It's tfor you to sleep. It's getting late."

Alisha nodded, "Okay. I've also opened this toy. It's quite simple. Daddy, can you buymore 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! | 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. "lI want to go out and play. | 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 extrheartache 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.
