Chapter 1720: Falling Out

Alisha was about to speak.

At this moment, Athena entered the room.

"I heard that she got up and went to the bathroom by herself at noon, but accidentally fell near the door and scraped herself," Athena said fiercely, glaring at Alisha.

Luther turned to look at Athena, his dark eyes narrowing.

"Alisha, tell Daddy if that's what happened," Athena warned.

Alisha lowered her head, then nodded. She hugged Luther tightly, afraid to speak any further. Mommy was so fierce and scary. She felt a sense of fear towards Athena, so she held onto Luther tightly, relying on him even more.

"Because of poor supervision, the person on duty at noon has already been fired," Athena pushed her wheelchair towards Luther, getting closer to his side. "Alisha is also my beloved."

Before approaching, Luther stood up abruptly. He took out the medical kit that Jamie had left in the cabinet and walked towards Alisha.

Removing half of Alisha's sleeve, he carefully unwrapped the previous bandage layer by layer. Due to the oozing blood, some parts were sticky and difficult to separate. He patiently used alcohol swabs to gently separate them.

Occasionally, when he accidentally touched the wound, Alisha cried in pain.

Luther gently patted her shoulder, comforting her in a soft voice. "Hang in there, it'll get better soon. Daddy will take care of you."

He soothed Alisha while removing the bandage, and the makeshift dressing worried him. He was afraid that the rough handling might worsen the wound.

When the bandage was completely removed, he was shocked to see the grotesque and terrifying wound, even though he had imagined it to be quite severe, the actual situation was even worse than he had expected.

How could this be a self-inflicted injury? Although he knew Athena was lying, he didn't expect the lie to be so outrageous.

It was clearly a whip wound!

No wonder he smelled the unusual scent of blood in the air as soon as he entered, and he could almost imagine what had happened and why the two black-clad individuals guarding the door were nowhere to be seen.

Damn Athena, a bloodthirsty and cruel woman.

He closed his eyes briefly, gritting his teeth. For now, it was important to treat Alisha's wound. The infected wound could lead to a fever, and the situation was not optimistic. If sepsis occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He evenly sprinkled the best anti-inflammatory powder left by Jamie onto the wound. He also gave Alisha some medicine.

Alisha obediently watched, only making soft hums when the pain became unbearable. She didn't want to worry Daddy too much, she was already strong enough, enduring it all.

While applying the medication, Luther occasionally glanced at Alisha, his eyes filled with tenderness. She was his daughter, his cherished and beloved treasure. He couldn't bear to see even a single strand of her hair harmed.

Athena, how dare she!

The bandage in his hand was almost torn apart by him. He took a few deep breaths. After he finished applying the medicine and made sure there was no more bleeding, he carefully re-bandaged Alisha.

During the bandaging process, Alisha fell asleep again, drowsy and with a flushed face. It was evident that her fever was still persisting.

Athena felt a little guilty. When she saw Luther finish bandaging Alisha's wound, she approached again. "Brother Luther, is Alisha's arm alright now? When I came back, she was already injured. I didn't see the specific situation, sorry, it's their carelessness..."

"Ah!" Before she could finish her words, she suddenly let out a miserable scream.

The reason was that Luther raised his arm and delivered a heavy backhand slap to her.

The sound of the slap resounded loudly in the room, the strength and anger behind it caused Athena, along with her wheelchair, to topple over.
