You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1722: Assessment

Carrying Alisha in his arms, Luther strode away from Athena's seaside villa.

Jacob was responsible for driving, while Luther and Jamie sat in the backseat.

Luther remained silent throughout the journey, holding Alisha tightly, his expression heavy. Before they left, Jamie had

administered a small dose of sedative to Alisha, so she was very calm at the moment.

He took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in his chest. He had just signed the divorce agreement, how could he find peace? He

yearned for Joyce, yearned like a madman. He hadn't been hfor over a week, let alone every day, every hour was torment.

In the past, Joyce had given up staying in the Capital and had resolutely returned to Khebury with him.

She had rejected three years of warlord training just to be by his side day and night. He had promised that they would never be

separated.

But now?

He was helpless.

He was poisoned by an unknown toxin, unsure if it could be cured. Their daughter Alisha was being held hostage by Athena,

restraining him. Even if he had means, he couldn't use them.

It was all his fault.

Ten years ago, Athena was someone he unintentionally provoked. Now, he had to bear the bitter fruit together with Joyce and

Alisha.

He regretted it and punched the car wall, feeling agitated.

Jamie looked at Luther worriedly. He had witnessed the scene just now and clearly saw Mr. Warner sign the divorce agreement. Mr.

Warner must be feeling uncomfortable now. He could only pray in his heart.

Mr. Warner was forced, hoping that Joyce could withstand the pressure.

Soon, Jacob drove the car to the nearest large comprehensive hospital. They were followed by another car, all of them Athena's

people, coming to the hospital together. Athena had already made arrangements at the hospital, and they were received by the

vice-president, who allocated a dedicated VIP room for them.

The attending doctor was Dr. Liang, a female pediatrician in her fifties, who seemed to have a lot of experience.

Due to the special reception, Dr. Jones was cautious. She conducted various rapid tests on Alisha and performed bacterial culture.

The test results cout quickly, fortunately, the inflammation wasn't too severe at the moment. It was still within a controllable

range.

Dr. Jones administered an IV drip for Alisha. "Her resistance is weak. It's fortunate that she cto the hospital for treatment in

time. If pneumonia recurs, she may need to be put on a respirator. We have already administered the tetanus shot. The quick

results for bacterial culture will take stime, so I'll adjust her medication accordingly once the results are out."

"Doctor, how long will she need to stay in the hospital?" Jacob, who was standing nearby, asked. He needed to get a clear answer

to report back to Athena.

Dr. Jones glanced at Jacob. "It's hard to say for now. | need to transfer her to the sterile VIP ward to prevent secondary infections."

"But..." Jacob hesitated, "Alisha can't stay in the hospital for too long. | can't explain it to my superiors.”

Luther gave Jacob a cold glance. "You don't need to explain anything. Just stay aside."

Jacob was afraid of Luther's chilling aura and didn't dare to speak any further.

It was obvious that he couldn't offend either side. Although he served Athena, it was clear that Mr. Warner wasn't someone to be

trifled with. He couldn't determine who would win or lose. He had to leave himself a way out.

Next, they waited for the handover procedures between departments. The sterile ward was being prepared.

During this time, a chief surgeon from the hospital cto perform a deep cleaning treatment on Alisha's whip wound.

"Will it leave a scar?" Luther asked with concern.

The surgeon shook her head. "Children have strong cell regeneration capabilities and quick recovery. The wound isn't too deep, so

it should heal without scarring. However, the scar on her chest here, what happened? This scar probably won't heal and will leave a

mark. If it bothers her, she can have scar revision surgery when she grows up."

When Luther saw the scar on Alisha's chest, his eyes turned icy.

It was more than just a scar. Buried inside was a lethal micro-explosive device.

In just a moment, the sterile ward was ready.

Alisha was transferred into the sterile ward.

Luther changed into a sterile suit, went through disinfection, and followed Dr. Jones into the sterile ward.

When Jacob tried to enter, Dr. Jones stopped him. "You can't go in. The sterile ward doesn't allow too many people to enter. Only

immediate family members are allowed inside. Unrelated people should wait outside."

"Mr. Warner, I'must go inside," Jacob hesitated, looking at Luther.

Luther pointed to the transparent glass. "You can see everything we're doing inside. What are you worried about? If there's

anything, report it promptly. What impact can you have?"

Jamie grabbed Jacob at this moment. "As Alisha's attending physician, even | can't go in. What can you do by going in? Don't cause

trouble. The most important thing now is treatment."

Helpless, Jacob could only stand outside the glass door. Apart from him, several black-clad individuals also stood in front of the

sterile ward, forming a line like door gods, afraid of making any mistakes.

Once the sterile ward door closed.

Dr. Jones took off her stethoscope. "The sterile ward is soundproof, so you won't be able to hear us outside. Please rest assured."

Luther nodded. "Thank you for cooperating with us."

In fact, when he pretended to go out for errands in the afternoon, he had already made the first step of his plan.

He contacted all the nearby hospitals he was familiar with and made all the necessary arrangements. Even if Athena interfered or

used her connections, he could still have the designated doctors take over Alisha's treatment.

This was something Athena couldn't anticipate.
