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."
"Yes, you're right. She resembles Luther more," Cecelia agreed.
Luther smiled slightly. "Yes, I think so too. She has my temperament and personality. Once she sets her mind on something, it's hard to change. That's why I'm a bit worried."
Anderson reached out and gently touched Alisha's cheek. "She's so soft. I can't believe I have such a cute little sister. I really want to hear her call me 'brother'."
Joyce laughed, "Brother, brother, you keep saying that. You're only a few minutes older than her."
"But I'm still her brother, even if it's a second earlier," Anderson pouted.
"Alright, alright, you're right," Joyce said tenderly.
Cecelia gently stroked Alisha's soft hair and looked at the young child, lost in thought.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Since Athena gained Alisha's trust by using the nestling instinct, we can try the same approach. Perhaps we can see some results in a short period of time."
"What do you mean?" Luther didn't understand.
Cecelia explained, "When Alisha woke up, she was in an unfamiliar environment, and the first person she came into contact with was Athena. In reality, Athena didn't have much emotional attachment to Alisha. It was purely because she was the first person Alisha saw. Now, Alisha is facing a similar situation. Imagine if she wakes up this time in a completely unfamiliar environment, without anyone she knows around her. Will she develop a new reliance on someone who takes care of her attentively?"
"Mother, what do you mean?" Joyce asked in confusion.
"Leave it to me to try. Let me take care of her," Cecelia said seriously.

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....
