"I only play with guns, I don't understand swords," Joyce said with a cold smile. She dodged the sword and turned to leave, knowing he wouldn't do anything to her, at least not yet.
"Its name is Dawnblade. Doesn't it sound nice?" Clint stood behind Joyce, speaking softly.
Naming a sword seemed so pointless. Joyce didn't bother to respond. Ignoring Clint, she walked away.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped as if remembering something. She stood still, a flash of realization crossing her mind. She remembered! Kane's branch office in Rohomes and its phone number! She finally recalled it.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was 1 AM. She wasn't sure if anyone would be in Kane's office at this hour, but she decided to try anyway. No matter how late it was, she had to try.
With this thought, she turned back and took a few steps towards Clint. "Why aren't you asleep at this hour?" she asked.
Clint glanced at her with his cold eyes. "Why? Do you want to sleep with me?"
"You're sick," Joyce retorted bluntly.
"There are so many guards outside; something must have happened. They can't all be here just to watch me, right?" Joyce asked knowingly.
"Watching you is unnecessary," Clint chuckled softly before his eyes darkened. "Do you want to meddle in my affairs?"
Seeing Clint's bad mood, Joyce shrugged. "Not interested. Do whatever you want; I'm going to sleep." With that, she deliberately went upstairs in front of Clint.
Once in her room, she immediately locked the door and picked up the phone to dial the number she had remembered.
Meanwhile, Luther was taking a short nap on the sofa in Kane's office. He had rushed over without stopping and was exhausted.
Just as he closed his eyes, the phone rang abruptly, echoing eerily in the empty office during the silent night. Luther woke up with a start.
It was early morning; no business calls should be coming in at this hour, especially since there wasn't much business here anyway. This place was just a shell for communication purposes.
He leaped from the sofa and grabbed the phone, his fingers trembling as he picked up the receiver. "Hello, who's this?" His voice trembled as well.
On the other end, Joyce recognized Luther's voice and could hardly believe it herself. Tears streamed down her face upon hearing his voice.
"Is it you?" she asked shakily.
There was a brief silence before Luther's hoarse voice came through. "It's me."
Joyce choked up. "I'm fine. Why did you come?"

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....
