You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1778

Chapter 1778: Finally Accounted For

"I'll give her another dose of antibiotics, also a special formulation from the Rohomes royal family. It works extremely well. Once we're back home and it's safe, I'll administer intravenous fluids to her. That way, we can ensure that everything goes smoothly," Reuben rolled up Alisha's sleeve and injected her with an antibiotic at her elbow's vein.

After completing all the procedures, he removed his gloves and disposable surgical gown, discarding them on the ground.

"Thank you," Luther sincerely thanked Reuben, feeling a heavy weight lifted off his shoulders.

Finally, Alisha would no longer be under the control of that wicked woman, Athena.

Luther carefully lifted Alisha from the surgical bed and held her tightly in his arms.

Their daughter was safe now, and he had finally given an account to Joyce.

Suddenly, Alisha moved slightly.

Luther was startled and quickly looked at Alisha. However, Alisha only stirred a bit without opening her eyes, still in a state of slumber. His anxious nerves relaxed.

"How long until she wakes up?" Luther asked.

"Oh, she's currently in a state of sedation, not caused by the anesthesia. Normally, she should be awake. I only administered local anesthesia since she was already unconscious. If she were awake at the moment, she would be conscious and aware of the surgery. This anesthesia is the latest technology, with a low dosage but strong effects, especially suitable for local use," Reuben snapped his fingers. "Done. Let's retreat."

"Alright," Luther agreed.

After turning off the emergency lights in the gymnasium, the entire abandoned sports hall was plunged into darkness.

Luther held Alisha in his arms, and together with Reuben, they left the gymnasium of the abandoned school. They walked quickly towards the outskirts of the school.

The night grew deeper, and the cold wind howled.

Visibility was extremely low, with almost no visibility beyond a few steps.

As they walked away,

Suddenly, Luther stopped in his tracks.

Reuben was taken aback and turned around, asking, "What's wrong? Is something amiss?"

"Vibration, I can feel the vibration," Luther focused and listened intently, closing his eyes, his voice icy.

Reuben looked around, wondering why he hadn't heard anything. Perhaps Luther was too sensitive.

"Has Joyce found out?" Luther suddenly asked. "Did she ask you to perform the surgery on Alisha?"

Reuben didn't conceal the truth. "Yes. Originally, she only asked me for the new anesthetic. It's exclusively used by the Rohomes royal family. You see, you guys aren't very thoughtful. You figured out my identity long ago but didn't inform me in advance."

"Sorry, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe. I was cautious about you before," Luther said.

"It's okay. Forget about it. I understand. Joyce didn't realize I was a doctor. I took care of both the anesthesia and surgery. This way, our operation had smaller objectives and was less likely to be discovered. Look, it was just the two of us, and we completed the entire complex rescue operation without causing any disturbance. How amazing!" Reuben praised.

"So, is Joyce nearby?" Luther finally asked what he wanted to know.
