After a while, when the nurse came in and injected Alisha with a sedative, she finally calmed down. Her small, delicate body leaned against Luther's chest, motionless.
Reuben stood by, feeling sweat all over his body. Dealing with the child was more exhausting than performing a surgery.
At this moment, Anderson approached slowly, getting a close look at his pink and delicate sister. He asked, "Can I touch her?"
Luther nodded.
He asked, "She just cursed at you and said she hates you. Aren't you angry at all?"
Anderson gently touched Alisha's cheek with his small hand. "I'm a man. I won't get angry over such a small matter. She feels so soft, and she looks adorable when she's asleep. It's amazing that she's my sister. I had only heard about it before, and it didn't feel real at all. But now, I finally have her."
"Unfortunately, she refuses to recognize us," Luther sighed.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? We still have plenty of time. Memories before the age of four become fuzzy, so why worry if she doesn't recognize us? Being together as a family is the most important thing," Anderson understood and consoled.
"Kid, you're only four years old yourself. You talk as if you're an adult," Reuben teased from the side. "Can you remember what's happening now in the future?"
"I can. I'll record what happens and take pictures, upload them to my personal cloud, and review them frequently to deepen my impressions so that I won't forget. We can make things happen if we put effort into it. I'm sure you don't remember what happened when you were a child," Anderson retorted to Reuben.
Reuben fell silent.
He had forgotten that Anderson was a precocious child, a genius. His way of solving problems was different from that of ordinary children. Of course, he didn't remember anything before the age of four. How nice it would be if he did remember. Those were the beautiful moments he had spent with his mother.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He took out his phone, and the screen showed that Grizela was calling him.
"Your Highness, where are you now?" Grizela's voice sounded somewhat anxious.
"Hello, what's the matter?" he asked. "I'm still at the hospital, something unexpected happened here."
"Your Highness, something has happened in Rohomes. We need to return as soon as possible..."
Grizela briefly explained over the phone, and Reuben's expression became increasingly serious.
"Okay, I understand. Bring the car over here, and I'll come down when you arrive," Reuben instructed, and then he hung up the phone.
"Sorry, Mr. Warner. I'm afraid I have to leave first. There's something I need to take care of. Alisha's surgery went well, there shouldn't be any problems. Get a CT scan for her this morning and send me the images. Make sure her wound doesn't open and that she avoids contact with water. When it heals, you can remove the stitches," Reuben said.
Luther nodded. "Thank you so much this time for all your help. We are grateful. Thanks to you being there, Joyce was able to stop the bleeding in time. Do you need any help with the situation on your end?"
Reuben thought for a moment. "Actually, we might need your help, but not at the moment."
Luther patted his arm. "Just let us know when you need it."
"Okay," Reuben replied, and then he approached and carefully checked Alisha's wound. He advised, "Try not to use sedatives anymore. She's still a child."
Luther nodded. "Alright."
After Reuben left, Darrin followed him downstairs.
"You don't have to accompany me," Reuben said politely.
Both of them felt a slight electric shock, and their hands quickly moved apart.
Reuben sat in the back seat, watching this scene. Even he hadn't noticed that Darrin was injured. He had already heard about what happened at the Warner residence and knew about Anderson almost being captured. He knew about the explosion, but he hadn't paid attention to the fact that Darrin was injured. It was Grizela who had sharp eyes.
Darrin looked at Grizela, feeling a bit embarrassed. His handsome face turned slightly red. He looked away and thanked her, "Thank you."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He leaned closer to the car window, almost touching it. He said, "Be careful on the road and remember to contact me if you need help. If you encounter any emergencies, don't panic and prioritize your safety."
Being so close, Grizela could feel his warm breath. Her face grew even redder, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look out the window.
"Mind your own business," she muttered, biting her lip.
Darrin smiled unconcernedly, "I'll be waiting for your return."
Grizela's mind went blank, feeling awkward. She cleared her throat, "Your Highness, we should leave now."
After speaking, she quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Darrin waved goodbye in the direction they were leaving.
Grizela glanced back a few times in the rearview mirror, only to see Darrin's tall figure standing in the wind. He looked even more upright than usual. Her cheeks couldn't help but burn. What was wrong with her? His light words had stirred something in her.
Reuben watched this scene with a profound meaning in his eyes.
The captain of his family's slow-witted guard had apparently fallen in love.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
