You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781: Slowly Accepting Her

"Why are you crying, Mommy?" Alisha suddenly quickened her pace and ran towards Athena. Her chest felt strange, and she felt dizzy and weak, as if floating on air.

She ran up to Athena and forcefully hugged her with her small body.

At this moment, Reuben finally reacted. Alisha had actually woken up and crawled out from the safe corner, running outside. He was too shocked just now because he had learned about Luther's poisoning, with only three months left to live.

Damn it, he cursed under his breath, wanting to rush out and catch Alisha, but it was already too late.

Upon hearing Alisha's voice, Athena abruptly grabbed her and held her tightly in her arms.

Joyce heard a faint child's voice calling for "Mommy," and her mind was suddenly captivated. It must be Alisha, it must be. The instinct of motherhood immediately responded when she heard the calling of "Mommy," and she responded, "Alisha, I'm here."

Unfortunately, Alisha didn't hear her voice. Instead, right in front of her, Alisha threw herself into Athena's embrace.

Joyce trembled fiercely and almost lost her balance.

Though Luther didn't expect Alisha to come out on her own, he was well aware that Alisha considered Athena her mother. He firmly supported Joyce, tightly gripping her arm.

An unexpected and terrible situation had arisen. Alisha was once again under Athena's control, and Athena might resort to a life-or-death threat. Alisha had just undergone surgery, and this was the weakest point of her body.

Luther clenched his fists tightly, his expression serious. He pondered how to handle the situation.

Athena was greatly shaken in her mind. She held Alisha and cried, "Alisha, Daddy doesn't want us anymore. Daddy wants to take you away and be with another woman. Over there, it's her. From now on, you have to call her Mommy. Alisha, Mommy doesn't want to be separated from you. Please, beg Daddy not to leave me, okay?"

Saying that, Athena pointed her finger at Joyce, her face full of resentment.

"It's her, Joyce, she's the one who ruined our happy family! Alisha, please persuade Daddy to come back with us."

This was the ideology Athena had instilled in Alisha countless times.

Alisha's thoughts were deeply ingrained.

Following the direction of Athena's finger, Alisha looked over and saw the bright lights brought by the warlords, illuminating everything as bright as day. She saw Joyce standing tall, holding a gun. It was a deadly weapon, and she knew it.

Her father's hand was holding the shoulder of another woman, the same woman Joyce had mentioned as her mom.

Her small eyes filled with resentment.

"Daddy, you lied to me after all. You brought me here because you wanted to leave Mommy and be with this woman, right? She's a bad woman!"

Luther suddenly became furious. "Alisha, come here. Athena is not your mommy. She is the one who gave birth to you and raised you! Look carefully! When did Daddy ever lie to you?!"

Joyce, under the bright light, finally saw Alisha's face clearly. She was a beautiful little girl, delicate and lovely, with dark pupils, resembling Luther even more. Her heart tightened. Alisha's accusation of being a bad woman finally reminded her that she had met Alisha before.

In the department store, she had encountered a lost little girl who was crying and looking for her mother.
