Chapter 1913: Never Give Up Easily
After soaking in the hot spring, Joyce carefully washed Alisha''s hair and then blow-dried it. Alisha changed into a sweet and cute
strawberry-patterned home outfit, making her look fair and rosy, with a healthy and vibrant glow.
Exhausted from the recent journey, Alisha, having taken a bath, felt a bit tired and dozed off in Joyce''s arms.
Joyce intended to carry Alisha to the bedroom to let her rest, but Luther stopped her by cing a hand on her shoulder. "Don''t
move. Your belly is already big. How can you carry a child? That''s reckless." Luther took Alisha from her and walked into the
room with long strides.
"I''ll rest with her for a while," Joyce followed behind Luther.
Anderson also took a bath. He waved his hand, "I don''t want to sleep. You guys go and rest."
Joyce nodded, "Don''t eat too many snacks. Let''s have a big meal together tonight."
"Okay," Anderson continued tinkering with hisputer.
Luther carried Alisha into the room, gently cing her in the middle of the big bed.
Subsequently, Joycey down beside her, lying on her side and reaching out an arm to encircle Alisha.
Extending her hand, she gently stroked Alisha''s soft hair, and emotionally remarked, "She''s so small and soft,pared to
Anderson, she seems a bit more fragile."
Luthery down on the other side of Alisha, "That''s your illusion. Their heights are actually quite simr. You just feel more
concerned about her."
"Yeah, | still can''t believe it." Joyce tenderly looked at Alisha sleeping in her arms, "| always thought | couldn''t keep her... As a
mother, she''s the one I''ve let down the most. Nearly encountering danger since she was little andter falling into the hands of a
bad woman, she refused to acknowledge me, | never med her, it''s all my fault.”
Luther lightly tapped Joyce''s forehead, "Don''t bring up the past. Now we are all reunited as a family. Touch her, feel the babies in
your belly, they are all real. I''m by your side, don''t overthink things."
"Okay," Joyce lowered herself, fully lying down, "Perhaps, being in thete stages of pregnancy, I''m a bit sentimental. I''ve never
experienced it, after all, | don''t know what thete stages of pregnancy are like."
Luther''s heart skipped a beat. Thest time she was pregnant, she fell off a cliff and fainted. If it weren''t for Christian, he would
never have seen her again, let alone now that they have four children. This happiness, he dared not even dream of.
So, no matter what happened between Athena, Christian, and him in the past, and what kind of impact it had on him, he had long
since let go of any resentment towards Christian. He only hoped that Christian could move on from the past.
Joyce was unaware that Luther''s thoughts had drifted far away.
She slowly closed her eyes.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Luther gently stroked her forehead, "Rest, leave everything else to me."
Joyce made a soft "hm" sound and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Luther sat up slightly, watching the embracing pair of mother and daughter sleeping, their pose warm and extremely sweet. A
gentle smile curved his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He got up and quietly closed the door.
Then he went to the kitchen.
Cecelia was still preparing ingredients. When she saw Luthere in, she asked, "Is Alisha asleep? She always takes a short
nap at this time."
"Yes, Joyce is resting with her," Luther replied.
Cecelia set down the vegetables, washed her hands, and dried them. Looking up, she asked seriously, "Luther, everything has
been handled well this time. Did shein? Did you tell her beforehand?"
Luther smiled, "It''s fine, she understands me."
Cecelia asked again, "To be honest, this wasrgely thanks to you. Alisha has a stubborn personality. Although she has gradually
epted you and the fact that she has a brother, | originally estimated it would take about a year for her to slowly ept Joyce.
During the time | spent with her, she kept crying and calling for Athena. Sometimes no matter how |forted her, it was of no
use. This time, letting her see it with her own eyes, she finally believed, finally let go. | believe that given time, she willpletely
forget the past and integrate with all of you."
"Yes," Luther also felt emotional, "| once spent time with her and deeply understood how difficult it is to change initial
impressions. I''ve been carefully guarding her. Any slight disturbance can cause a big change in her emotions."
“Because she hascked care for a long time, she is rtively fragile. In the future, you all need to pay more attention to her."
Cecelia sighed with relief, "It was
touch and go, fortunately, Athena
finally spoke the truth today.
Otherwise, we weyld id behfe poet in
Vay wtReAGou went to take a bath, |
had already arranged for the militia to
take the opportunity topletely
eradicate OGW from our country.
Leave this matter to me, you don''t
need to worry about it anymore."

"Good, thank you, Mom," Luther nodded.
“By the way, there''s something else I''ve been holding back, wanting to ask but also hesitant because of you," Cecelia looked
somewhat awkward.
“Mom, | know what you want to ask. You want to ask about the poison in my body, what''s the situation now?" Luther directly
addressed her concern.
"Yes, | dare not ask Joyce, for fear of
upsetting her. | see her belly, she may
give birth in about three months," eran)
Cecelia sighed,’ speekta sng? and

Luther was silent for a moment,
"Actually, | haven''t found a way to
detoxify. Professors Orik and Jocelyn
have been tirelessly conducting
experiments, but there is still no
effective antidote. Frankly, | used to

Cecelia also fell silent.
After a long while, she sighed deeply, and when she looked up again, her expression was filled with hope.
“It won''t happen. | believe fate won''t be so cruel to her again. Having lost her parents’ care from a young age, for the rest of her
life, she won''t lose your support again. | believe there must be a way. No matter when, even if it''s the veryst moment, you must
never give up easily."
"Okay."
Cecelia''s determined look seemed to give Luther confidence.
Luther nodded solemnly.
