You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1945

Chapter 1945: Heavy Heart

The next day.

Alisha was exceptionally excited, waking up early and changing into a beautiful dress.

Anderson, on the other hand, got up on time as usual.

Cecelia braided two plaits for Alisha and dressed her up.

Today was the first day that Anderson and Alisha were returning to school together. It was nothing out of the ordinary for Anderson, but for Alisha, it was her first time stepping into school, and her excitement was palpable.

Breakfast was eaten quickly, and Alisha was already eager to leave.

She checked her backpack over and over again.

"Brother, do you see if there's anything else we need to bring? You brought a laptop, should I bring one too?" Alisha asked.

"You don't need to, just go to school. You need to adapt to the environment first," Anderson said, glancing upstairs, where neither dad nor mom had gotten up today.

Before leaving, he told Cecelia, "Grandma, wait for me, I'm going to check upstairs."

And with that, he quickly ran off.

"Hey, let them sleep a bit longer," Cecelia said. But Anderson was already gone.

Anderson ran upstairs sneakily, pushed open the door, only to find that neither dad nor mom was in the room.

Perplexed, he wondered why they weren't downstairs if they weren't sleeping in the room.

He looked around and noticed that the study's door was open, so he headed towards the study.

Upon pushing open the study's door, Luther noticed Anderson coming in and immediately made a "shh" gesture.

Anderson halted in his tracks and tiptoed inside.

Approaching, he saw his mom, Joyce, who was sleeping soundly with her head on the desk, surrounded by a pile of documents and three computers open in front of her.

Anderson's eyes widened in inquiry.

At that moment, Luther lifted Joyce from the desk, carefully carried her back to the room, and laid her on the big bed.

Joyce was so tired that she didn't notice a thing, sleeping deeply without budging an eyelid.

Luther walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Anderson followed up and asked, "Dad, did mom not sleep last night? What was she busy with? What's so important?"

Luther whispered, "She was busy until midnight last night, and I had to force her to sleep. But I don't know when she got up sneakily behind my back to continue working. I only found out this morning. Don't disturb her, let her sleep a bit more."

Anderson nodded.

He wanted to ask what mom was up to. Was it more important than getting proper rest with two children in her belly? Glancing at the documents on the desk, all related to biopharmaceuticals, and the three open laptops, it was clear she was conducting extensive data analysis. It was a huge project. He couldn't fathom what mom wanted to achieve. Despite his curiosity, he chose not to ask.

"I'm going to school now. Dad, I'll say goodbye to you upstairs," Anderson waved.

"I'll come downstairs with you." Luther followed Anderson downstairs.

Alisha was eagerly waiting at the door, "Why isn't brother coming?"

"Here he is!" Luther's voice answered her.

Approaching, he lifted Alisha up, saying, "Alisha, it's your first day at preschool, so be happy. Anderson, take care of your sister."

"Don't worry, you're so wordy," Anderson impatiently said.
