You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1716

Chapter 1716: A Change of Heart?

Clutching the watch in his hand, Luther sank heavily onto the sofa, deeply moved in his heart.

She understood him, she truly understood him.

His greatest worry was hurting her because their foundation of trust was weak due to past events, and she had no reason to believe in him. When the rumors about his "first love" surfaced today, she should have lost faith in him.

But she didn't.

At this moment, his heart was filled with overwhelming emotions, and he longed to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Alisha saw Luther sitting heavily on the sofa, with a distant expression. She quickly expressed her concern.

Using her small hands, she gently touched Luther's cheek. "Is Daddy feeling unwell? Alisha can help you take a nap."

Luther gently lifted his head and saw Alisha looking at him with worry. He held her small hand, pressing it against his cheek. It was true what they said about daughters being like close-knit cotton jackets.

No matter how much he had endured, seeing Alisha safe and well, he had no complaints anymore.

"I'm fine, my good girl. How about Daddy feeds you some food?" he asked softly.

"Mm-hmm," Alisha nodded vigorously.

Luther lifted Alisha onto the sofa and got up, walking to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of porridge for her.

Since falling ill, Alisha had hardly eaten properly. The occasional intake was carefully fed by him. This was vegetable porridge that he had made himself. Joyce used to love it, and now it seemed that Alisha loved it too.

He carried the porridge to Alisha, who was playing with her toys. While she played, he fed her spoonfuls of the porridge.

After the fever had subsided, her appetite had improved significantly, and soon she finished the whole bowl of porridge.

"Daddy, I still want to eat more," Alisha raised her sparkling eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.

"No, you can eat again in an hour," Luther shook his head.

He had experience. Although Alisha wanted to eat more, her digestion was still weak after recovering from a serious illness. Eating too much would cause her to vomit. She needed to have small, frequent meals and gradually regain her strength.

Athena had only used Alisha and couldn't possibly take good care of her. The nanny who had taken care of Alisha before had been paid to do so and lacked genuine care. After Alisha had been in a coma for over three years, she needed wholehearted care upon waking up. Perhaps only parents could provide that.

"Okay, I'll listen to Daddy," Alisha said reluctantly.

After spending some time together, Alisha had become very obedient.

Luther gently patted her little head, satisfied with her behavior.

"Also, we just finished eating, so now it's time to take your medicine." Luther shook the medicine bottle in his hand. It contained a liquid antibiotic prescribed by Jamie.

Upon hearing the word "medicine," Alisha's small eyebrows furrowed. "Ah, I don't want to take medicine."

"Oh? Where did the obedient Alisha go?" Luther pretended to look around. "Why can't I find her?"

Alisha reached out and turned Luther's head back. "I'm right here."

Luther tapped her little nose. "It's time to take your medicine! Be a good girl, okay?"

"Okay," Alisha reluctantly opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Luther slipped a piece of fruit candy into her puffed-up little mouth.

Alisha happily resumed playing with her Sherita doll.

Luther sat patiently by her side, occasionally using his phone to handle work matters. After the news about his scandal broke in the morning, being a negative news about infidelity, it had a certain impact on the company's image, causing the stock price to temporarily decline.

He called Casey to give instructions on how to handle the situation, and then called Aaron, asking him not to go to the Warner residence for the time being. He knew that with Joyce and Darrin there, they would take care of things. He planned to have Aaron free up his time to help monitor other matters.

Time passed slowly.
