You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1706

Chapter 1706: Unwilling to Take Responsibility

Only he knew that after Athena was taken to the hospital, he held a gun to the doctor's head, forcing them to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Athena. After a series of resuscitation efforts, including defibrillation, adrenaline injections, and cardiac massage, miraculously, her heartbeat was restored. Since she couldn't breathe on her own, she was kept on a ventilator.

Uncertain if she would survive, he didn't announce it to the public.

Everyone believed Athena was dead, and he didn't bother to clarify. Who would care anyway?

For more than ten days, they fought to save her life, but eventually, the doctors declared Athena to be in a vegetative state, uncertain if she would ever wake up. When he received this news, it felt like his world was collapsing. For the first time in his life, he shed tears, right in front of her hospital bed. Even when his mother passed away, he hadn't cried.

Out of helplessness, he had no choice but to send Athena to the United States for the best treatment.

But that damn Luther, he took advantage of Athena, showed no responsibility, and refused to admit anything. The thought of Luther toying with his sister, shattering her heart, causing her to fall off a cliff and become a vegetable, enraged him. Luther didn't even feel remorse; he didn't even utter an apology.

He was furious, and from then on, he became enemies with Luther.

In the following years, he opposed Luther at every turn. Luther didn't have any other women in his life until Joyce appeared.

Christian recalled the moment, and he turned around.

The light in the reception room was dim, so he reached out and turned on the crystal chandelier hanging from above. The dazzling, colorful light refracted, casting an exquisite glow on Joyce's face.

He sighed, and at first, his intention was to ruin their relationship. He even thought about using means to snatch Joyce away from Luther and make Luther suffer.

As he got to know Joyce better, he became interested in her. He gradually shifted to helping Joyce because Luther's attitude towards her had always been ambiguous. He started to worry that Joyce would suffer the same fate as Athena.

In fact, his worries were justified. When he rescued Joyce from the sea, she also fell into a coma for several months until she successfully gave birth to her child. When Joyce woke up, he felt like his world was filled with light.

At this moment, Joyce looked at Christian. She knew that if she reunited with Luther, it would definitely make Christian uncomfortable. That's why she hadn't contacted him for a long time.
