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, "I 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 became irreversible, 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. I just want to be with you forever. I 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.
"I 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 same color as the floor, and she couldn't see it clearly. Some of 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 I die, I won't let you control me. Put away your delusions. If you're willing to remove the detonator from Alisha's body, I 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, I know, Daddy."

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
