You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1780

Chapter 1780: Please Don't Leave Me

Reuben struck a victorious pose and placed the sleeping Alisha in a safe corner. He took out his pistol, prepared to be ready for battle at any moment.

Luther aimed his gun at Athena and coldly said, "You're surrounded. Order your people to drop their weapons and retreat immediately. Tonight, I won't take your life. Just leave."

At the same time, Joyce also aimed her gun and slowly advanced until she stood opposite Athena.

"Drop your gun. Your people are no match for us!" Joyce shouted coldly. "Don't make futile resistance."

Athena's face turned extremely ugly, and she bit her lower lip hard, causing it to bleed.

Luther's gaze remained fixed on Joyce as she approached. His thin lips trembled slightly as he held back his excitement. He had caused her worry, and he felt guilty about Alisha. It was all the karmic consequences of his own actions that led to the current predicament.

He didn't go home, leaving her behind and neglecting her. For Alisha's sake, he even signed the divorce agreement.

If they hadn't successfully removed the detonator from Alisha's body today, he wouldn't be able to face her.

Joyce also looked at Luther, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and an unstoppable tenderness.

Seeing him hesitate to speak, she gently shook her head and comforted him, "You don't have to say anything. I understand. I don't blame you. I just want you to come back to me safely. I need you, and our children need you."

Luther was even more moved in his heart. He couldn't wait another moment. He put down the gun in his hand because he knew that having her by his side was enough. He walked quickly to her side, even in front of Athena, and dominantly embraced her.

He held her tightly, not wanting to let go. "Thank you for trusting me. Don't worry, our daughter is still alive. I rescued her, and she's fine now."

Joyce didn't put down her gun. She allowed him to hold her, feeling the warmth flowing from his body, so real. Even the child in her belly seemed to sense her father's return and became excited, kicking in her womb.

Seeing this scene, Reuben averted his gaze. Ah, a public display of affection, disregarding the eyes of others. Did he die or something?

Athena watched them embrace with anger that was about to explode.

She roared, "Joyce! I want you dead!"

Joyce looked at Athena coldly. "It was you who colluded with Otis, repeatedly violated boundaries, and interfered with Pascaylia's military affairs. It was you who kidnapped Anderson. And it was you who took Alisha away. I know everything. It should be me who wants you dead. Ten thousand deaths wouldn't be enough. But, I won't take your life. Because you have a good brother. Christian saved my life. Out of respect for him, I'll let you leave tonight. Now, get out of here!!"

As she finished speaking, she shouted loudly.

The black-clad people around Athena had lost their backbone. Although they confronted the guns, it was clear that they were trembling in fear. They were surrounded by warlords, special police, and mercenaries. They had no chance of winning. They didn't want to die, but they had to obey Athena's orders.

Now, when they heard Joyce say they could leave unharmed, the black-clad people all felt the urge to retreat. They took a few steps back involuntarily.

Athena saw this and let out a furious roar, "Who dares to leave? If they don't die here, I'll make sure they live worse than death!"

Athena's brutal methods were witnessed by everyone. For a moment, no one dared to move.
