Chapter 1792: Overwhelming Emotions

Joyce wanted to sit up and tried to move, but she felt a numbness inher body.

Luther quickly held her down. "Don't move, let me go check. Be careful,you're carrying three lives now. Don't get too excited and don't movearound. Just rest and lie down until the doctor confirms that the baby isfine, okay?"

Anderson chimed in, "Yeah, Mommy, don't worry. I'm already a littleadult, and with Dad and me at home, we can handle everything.”Joyce chuckled. "I'm not excited. I also want to see Alisha. Last night, Ionly caught a brief glimpse of her, and it was dark, so I couldn't see herclearly."

“I'll go in first, and then I'll come back to update you," Luther got up.Anderson waved goodbye to Joyce as he followed Luther.

At the door of Alisha's room, Luther said to Anderson, "Wait outside, I'llgo in first.”

Although Anderson looked dissatisfied, he obediently stayed at thedoor.

Luther pushed the door open and saw Reuben deliberately dressed ina doctor's attire, standing by Alisha's bed, pretending to examine her.“You're such a good kid. Let the doctor check how well your wound ishealing,” Reuben said.

Alisha remained silent. Reuben checked her and said, "Hmm, verygood, no signs of infection. How are you feeling now? Do you feel anydizziness?"

Alisha still didn't speak.

Frowning, Reuben held up two fingers in front of Alisha’s face. "Howmany fingers do you see?" When she didn't react, he changed thequestion. "What's one plus two?" It shouldn't be like this. There's nobrain injury, so why isn't Alisha responding?

Alisha suddenly spoke up, "You're a bad person! You're working withthem!"

Reuben had a black line on his face. It seemed that her brain didn'tneed to be tested; her intelligence wasn't affected. And her intelligencewas quite high. Even after their brief encounter last night, she could stillrecognize his face.

Luther's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Alisha was not in a goodemotional state.

He approached gently and called out, "Alisha, are you awake? Do youfeel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Alisha turned her head and saw Luther. Instead of her usual warmth,her eyes were filled with resistance and unfamiliarity. It was completelydifferent from before when she would jump into his arms and stick tohim.

“I'm in the hospital. Where's Mommy?" Alisha murmured to herself."Mommy is hurt. Where is she?"

Luther impulsively tried to answer, "Mommy is..."

But he stopped halfway through. He realized that when Alishamentioned Mommy, she was referring to Athena. It couldn't possiblymean Joyce. He had misunderstood.

Sure enough, Alisha pointed to her own shoulder and burst into tears, “Isaw Mommy getting hurt here. Where is Mommy? I want Mommy! Letme see Mommy!"

Luther didn't know how to respond. He could only explain, “Athena isnot your Mommy. Your real Mommy is not her. It's..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Alisha screamed, "No, you're lying!You're deliberately lying to me to separate me from Mommy! You're aliar! I don't want to see you! You're not my Daddy! I want Mommy, Iwant Mommy! I want to be with Mommy!"

Reuben, on the side, rubbed his temples. It was really difficult toexplain to a four-year-old child. It's not like he could provide a DNA testfor the child to understand.

Luther took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and attempted topersuade Alisha. "Alisha, how do you feel in your body? Are youuncomfortable? Tell me first, if you're not feeling well, I'll have thedoctor come and check on you. Also, are you hungry? What do youwant to eat? Dad will go buy it for you."

Alisha climbed out of bed and huddled under the covers, repeating, "Iwant Mommy, I want Mommy."

Luther felt helpless.

At that moment, Anderson secretly poked his head through the crack inthe door. He was curious and had wanted to see what his little sisterlooked like. Fair had mentioned before that there was a girl who lookedquite similar to him and was around the same age, presumablyreferring to Alisha.

Hearing the commotion inside, he peeked in and saw Alisha sitting onthe bed.

He observed her for a moment. She was such an adorable littlegirl,very beautiful, with exquisite features and shining dark eyes. Herchubby cheeks resembled sticky rice balls, tempting anyone to pinchthem. So this was his little sister.

Even though her emotions were unstable at the moment, with just oneglance, he felt a strong fondness for her.

Unable to resist, he sneaked in, wanting to help Luther convince Alisha.Adults and children were not easy to communicate with, and he thoughtmaybe children could understand each other better.

"Hey, sis, I'm your big brother. Hi, nice to meet you!" Anderson greetedenthusiastically.

Luther suddenly realized that Anderson had sneaked in.

His heart sank, sensing that something was not right. BecauseAnderson didn't know that Athena had instilled in Alisha the idea that hehad another woman outside and had another child. Now it seemed thatit had become a reality.

Indeed, Alisha initially looked at Anderson and then glared at him.Suddenly, she burst into tears and cried, "Daddy lied! Daddy really hasanother woman and had a child with her! Sob... Mommy didn't lie tome, sob..."

Luther helplessly massaged his forehead. Now he really didn't knowhow to explain.

Anderson stood frozen in place, his face filled with confusion. What wasgoing on?

"We're twins, you know? We have the same mother. Look at meclosely. Don't you think we look alike?" He thought his argument madesense.

But he forgot that some people, especially girls, couldn't be reasonedwith.

“No, you're lying! You're the wild child Daddy had with another woman.You've ruined my family and driven away my Mommy. I hate you! I hateyou! I hate you all!" Alisha kicked her legs, kicking off the blanket.Reuben hurriedly tried to stop her, fearing she would tear open herchest wound. "My little sweetheart, please don't struggle. Your chestwound will open up!"

Anderson watched everything speechlessly, now truly understandinghow difficult it was.

Alisha continued to cry and shout, demanding her mommy.

Finally, helpless and afraid that she would further injure herself, Lutherand Reuben had to step forward and forcefully restrain her limbs toprevent her from moving.

Alisha fiercely resisted, her emotions spiraling out of control.

Shaking his head, Reuben signaled to Luther, “There's no other way.We'll have to give her another sedative."

Luther sighed, realizing that this was the only option.
