Chapter 1716: A Change of Heart?

Clutching the watch in his hand, Luther sank heavily onto the sofa,deeply moved in his heart.

She understood him, she truly understood him.

His greatest worry was hurting her because their foundation of trustwas weak due to past events, and she had no reason to believe in him.When the rumors about his "first love" surfaced today, she should havelost faith in him.

But she didn't.

At this moment, his heart was filled with overwhelming emotions, andhe longed to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Alisha saw Luther sitting heavily on the sofa,with a distant expression. She quickly expressed her concern.

Using her small hands, she gently touched Luther's cheek. "Is Daddyfeeling unwell? Alisha can help you take a nap.”

Luther gently lifted his head and saw Alisha looking at him with worry.He held her small hand, pressing it against his cheek. It was true whatthey said about daughters being like close-knit cotton jackets.

No matter how much he had endured, seeing Alisha safe and well, hehad no complaints anymore.

“I'm fine, my good girl. How about Daddy feeds you some food?" heasked softly.

"Mm-hmm," Alisha nodded vigorously.

Luther lifted Alisha onto the sofa and got up, walking to the kitchen toprepare a bowl of porridge for her.

Since falling ill, Alisha had hardly eaten properly. The occasional intakewas carefully fed by him. This was vegetable porridge that he hadmade himself. Joyce used to love it, and now it seemed that Alishaloved it too.

He carried the porridge to Alisha, who was playing with her toys. Whileshe played, he fed her spoonfuls of the porridge.

After the fever had subsided, her appetite had improved significantly,and soon she finished the whole bow! of porridge.

"Daddy, I still want to eat more," Alisha raised her sparkling eyes, hereyelashes fluttering.

"No, you can eat again in an hour," Luther shook his head.

He had experience. Although Alisha wanted to eat more, her digestionwas still weak after recovering from a serious illness. Eating too muchwould cause her to vomit. She needed to have small, frequent mealsand gradually regain her strength.

Athena had only used Alisha and couldn't possibly take good care ofher. The nanny who had taken care of Alisha before had been paid todo so and lacked genuine care. After Alisha had been in a coma forover three years, she needed wholehearted care upon waking up.Perhaps only parents could provide that.

"Okay, I'll listen to Daddy," Alisha said reluctantly.

After spending some time together, Alisha had become very obedient.Luther gently patted her little head, satisfied with her behavior.

"Also, we just finished eating, so now it's time to take your medicine.”Luther shook the medicine bottle in his hand. It contained a liquidantibiotic prescribed by Jamie.

Upon hearing the word "medicine," Alisha's small eyebrows furrowed."Ah, I don't want to take medicine."

"Oh? Where did the obedient Alisha go?" Luther pretended to lookaround. "Why can't I replace her?"

Alisha reached out and turned Luther's head back. "I'm right here.”Luther tapped her little nose. "It's time to take your medicine! Be a goodgirl, okay?"

"Okay," Alisha reluctantly opened her mouth and swallowed themedicine.

After taking the medicine, Luther slipped a piece of fruit candy into herpuffed-up little mouth.

Alisha happily resumed playing with her Sherita doll.

Luther sat patiently by her side, occasionally using his phone to handlework matters. After the news about his scandal broke in the morning,being a negative news about infidelity, it had a certain impact on thecompany's image, causing the stock price to temporarily decline.

He called Casey to give instructions on how to handle the situation, andthen called Aaron, asking him not to go to the Warner residence for thetime being. He knew that with Joyce and Darrin there, they would takecare of things. He planned to have Aaron free up his time to helpmonitor other matters.

Time passed slowly.

When Alisha grew tired of playing, she yawned and lay down on thecarpet, falling asleep.

After finishing his international emails, Luther glanced at her peacefullysleeping figure, smiled, and picked her up, placing her on the bed andcovering her with a blanket. She should be able to sleep for a long timewith this nap.

He left the room, closed the door, and walked to the living room.

There seemed to be some commotion outside.

Several black Land Rovers were parked in the yard, but they didn'tlooklike Athena's vehicles.

Luther became instantly alert. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling glasswindow and looked outside.

Two groups of black-clad individuals surrounded each other tightly,seemingly engaged in a heated argument, but he couldn't hear whatthey were saying.

Soon, Athena's subordinates made way, and then the front door of thevilla was forcefully pushed open by someone.

Luther stood tall, looking at the person who entered, his deep eyesnarrowing.

It was Christian!

Dressed in his signature all-black suit, black tie, and black sunglasses,with his alluring and unruly appearance, he exuded an aura ofwickedness.

A faint, cold smile crossed Luther's lips. It had been a long time sincethey last met.

As soon as Christian entered, he saw Luther. His legs felt like theywere nailed to the spot, unable to move.

At this moment, his emotions became incredibly complex upon seeingLuther.

The two men locked eyes, and sparks seemed to fly between them.Their expressions were dark and intimidating, as if they wanted todevour each other.

Finally, Luther spoke first.

"Why are you here?"

Christian seemed to hear a joke. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Whatare you doing here?"

Luther neither confirmed nor denied anything. "Why don't you go askyour sister?"

Christian's eyes immediately darkened.

He questioned, "What are you doing? What's with the news today?How can you treat Joyce like this? I saved her before, and she insistedon returning to your side, but you treat her like this? Are you evenhuman? Do you have any humanity left?"

Luther was momentarily taken aback.

Christian, instead of coming to help Athena, was demanding justice forJoyce. It was truly unexpected.

After a brief moment of surprise, Luther retorted, "Isn't this the resultyou were expecting? Are you and your sister satisfied?"

"You!" Christian's anger surged. His black-clad subordinates behindhim quickly tried to stop him. "Mr. Christian, Miss Athena is not aware ofyour presence here yet. Don't cause too much commotion..."

"Shut up, I don't need your reminders," Christian glared fiercely at theblack-clad person behind him.

Luther crossed his arms, his gaze cool as he looked at Christian. "Yourbeloved sister has become so capable, didn't you anticipate that? Areyou surprised?"

Christian's face grew even darker.

He hadn't anticipated that Athena had the support of OGW behind her,and now her people were everywhere. He had almost been unable toenter even though it was his territory.

He had to realize that Athena was completely out of control, and he hadno way of controlling her.

“I came today just to remind you. Don't get too close to Athena. She'sdangerous,” Christian suddenly spoke up.

Luther raised an eyebrow in surprise. Such words coming from thedoting brother Christian seemed unbelievable.

Had he undergone a change of heart?
