Luther and Joyce exchanged glances. It turned out that there were many stories behind Vicki.
Luther understood in his heart. No wonder Felix had a melancholic look when he left. He must have known what was going on inside.
"Regardless, Vicki is loyal. She rescued Anderson, and I owe her a great favor," Joyce looked down at herself. "I really hope I can recover soon and find Vicki to help her get out of her current predicament."
Luther held her back. "Even if we go, I'll be the one to go. You're not allowed to get involved. I won't allow you to take any risks. Don't forget, you have two children in your womb."
Joyce frowned. She knew all too well. But how could she feel at ease?
"OGW is an international organization, and too much interference from warlords is not appropriate. Besides, it's difficult for me to take action in foreign affairs. Unless there is clear evidence that they pose a threat to our country, it could easily escalate into an international conflict. Moreover, Rohomes is currently in a sensitive period," Karl furrowed his brow. "I can't help much. I can only gather some intelligence for you."
"No need for the House of Inspection to intervene. We'll use internationally accepted methods, hire mercenaries through international organizations. I'll handle it," Luther held Joyce's hand. "Don't underestimate Felix. When he gets serious, he's more meticulous than anyone else. And the Saunders family holds a significant position and influence in both the dark and light worlds. They have enough manpower, and their old subordinates will respond when called upon. You can rest assured; we will resolve this."
Joyce nodded.
At this moment, Cecelia walked out from the separate room. She had heard most of their conversation.
When it involved foreign organizations and excessive interference from warlords, her identity was not suitable for getting involved. So she didn't say much.
She walked up to Joyce's side and advised, "Let them handle it. If there's any need for help, they will naturally ask for it. The warlords will fully support them, so don't worry."
"Okay," Joyce forced a smile.
"I want to see Alisha, is that okay?" Cecelia asked.
Upon finding out that she had another granddaughter, she was extremely happy. The family, which had been lacking in members, suddenly became lively.
"You can, but..." Joyce didn't know how to explain the current situation.
"Mother, let me explain everything to you from the beginning," Luther took over and recounted the entire sequence of events. This included Joyce falling into the sea, Alisha being born and initially being determined to have only a two-year life expectancy, which was why Christian had hidden the fact that Alisha had never breathed since birth. Then they discovered that Alisha's grave had been disturbed, which raised suspicions. Finally, they found out that Athena had taken Alisha and had been instilling negative thoughts in Alisha, making her believe that Joyce was a third-party intruder, a bad woman who had destroyed their family, and that Anderson was the child of Luther and the third party.
He also explained in detail the events that had taken place between him and Athena during this period, including all the ins and outs.
This was the first time Joyce had heard the complete story.
She looked at Luther with a heartache, knowing how much he had endured. He had to worry about being misunderstood by her, gain Alisha's trust, deceive Athena, and secretly make arrangements. And on top of that, he was poisoned with an unknown substance, and his health was deteriorating.
She suddenly reached out and pulled him to her side, hugging his arm, her eyes turning red. She couldn't say a word.
Karl remained silent, not expecting the story to be so convoluted.
Cecelia sighed. Although she had heard a brief mention from Darrin before, she didn't know the details.
Now that she knew the whole story, she also felt heartache for her daughter and son-in-law.
She advised, "Don't be too sad. Life is precious, and although the process has been tumultuous, the outcome is good. Even if Alisha doesn't recognize you now, time can solve that problem. Don't worry."
Luther nodded. "Alisha has been sedated and is currently asleep. Let me bring her over."
