Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

Luther choked up, “Alisha, sweetheart, daddy will come to see you soon. I’ll take you to see the sea, okay? We’ll go to the beach, play with the sand, build sandcastles, catch crabs, and collect seashells. Those are all the things Alisha loves to do the most. Daddy will even buy you a very, very big doll.”

“Okay, daddy, you must come quickly, okay?”

Alisha faced the camera, revealing a big, sweet smile at Luther.

Joyce, watching from the side, felt her eyes welling up. This was wonderful-Alisha had changed a lot. Back when she had just woken up in the hospital, she had resisted them fiercely, believing that Luther was deceiving her, only trying to separate her from Athena. She had called them all bad people, even saying that Anderson was a wild child Luther had outside, and expressing hatred towards them.

Every word echoed vividly in her mind, the scene playing out as if it were happening all over again.

It couldn’t be helped. It was a case of imprinting. When Alisha had first woken up, the first person she saw was Athena, who had deeply instilled various misconceptions in Alisha. It was indeed difficult to correct.

Thankfully, there was Cecelia, with her kind and patient nature as a mother. She patiently taught Alisha, and finally, there was some progress.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

In the video, Alisha asked Anderson, “Brother, grandma said you’re really good at using a slingshot. But grandma also said I’m very talented too. Shall we have a contest in the future? Let’s see who’s better.”

“Sure. I can also teach you how to play games, I’m an expert at playing games. I can play all sorts of games. Once I’ve taught you, the two of us can play games together online. I’ll be with you, no one will dare to bully you,” Anderson gestured, “I’ll be unbeatable.”

“Haha,” Alisha laughed joyfully.

After chatting for a while, Cecelia asked Alisha to go play on her own for a bit. Then she sat down, looking serious, and said, “Joyce, Luther, I want to talk to you both alone, let Anderson play for a while first.”

Anderson looked at the camera, nodded understandingly, “Okay, grandma, then I’ll go play now. Remember to video call me later, I’m always available.”

“Okay, go ahead, Anderson is really obedient,” Cecelia waved her hand, a kind smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Anderson handed the computer over to Luther and Joyce, then he happily bounced upstairs to continue playing his games.

Once Anderson had left, Joyce and Luther both sat in front of the camera.

Cecelia began, “Joyce, Alisha’s condition has improved a lot recently. Luther has taken care of her attentively, and she still has some feelings, so she has accepted her father first. At the same time, she has slowly accepted the fact that her father has another child. Currently, she knows that Anderson is her brother, but her concept is that of a half-brother. Although she has recognized her father again, she still can’t accept you as her mother, so she also doesn’t grasp the concept of her and Anderson being twins. Give me some more time on this.”

“Oh, I see,” Joyce’s brow furrowed slightly with disappointment. It seemed Alisha still didn’t recognize her.

Luther, beside her, grasped Joyce’s hand, “Don’t worry, we’ve taken a big step already. She’s still young, and when she can understand, these won’t be issues.”

“Okay,” Joyce nodded. Although she was really looking forward to Alisha calling her “mom,” it was more important for Alisha to recognize Luther first. “I understand, I’m already very happy.”

Cecelia continued, “Alright, let’s not talk about Alisha for now. I will make sure she has regular video calls with you two to build a connection. Step by step, I believe it will work out. Now, what I want to ask is, Joyce, about the electromagnetic pulse countermeasure blueprints, did you give them to Rohomes? And also to OGW?”

“On this matter, I was just about to explain to you. With Rohomes, based on trust, I handed over the correct blueprints to Prince Reuben. However, with OGW, I provided faulty and incomplete blueprints. Rest assured, I have it under control. Everything is still within our grasp,” Joyce explained.

“Good, I understand. I just wanted to have an idea from you. I trust that you can handle this and make good use of those blueprints. Ourgoal is to avoid triggering a major international conflict,” Cecelia advised.

“Naturally, mom, you can rest assured,” Luther added.

“I heard there have been changes within OGW. This is a good opportunity; the organization has been a threat in various aspects for a long time. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to completely dismantle it, it would be a great achievement for the military as well. Of course, you must be extremely careful,” Cecelia added. “I’ve already heard about the Saunders family matter from Darrin. Your marksmanship has improved significantly. In fact, this time, your father sent Darrin over with a special mission related to the electromagnetic pulse countermeasure blueprints. We didn’t tell you earlier because you already have so much on your plate. Now that the blueprints are in Reuben’s hands, your father and I have decided to send Darrin to Rohomes for a while to keep an eye on the situation. If there are any developments, he will report to us promptly. So, he might have to be reassigned for a while. If you need more assistance, I can send additional support from here.”

“We don’t need it, mom, Luther has enough manpower. We’re good,” Joyce quickly reassured her. “I had actually thought of sending Darrin to Rohomes, to be by Prince Reuben’s side, which would also be in our favor.”

“Alright, that’s settled then,” Cecelia nodded.

After the discussion, Cecelia’s gaze settled on Luther.

After some contemplation, Cecelia decided to ask, “Luther, how is your health? Any progress on the detoxification?”

Avoiding the topic of Anderson was mainly to discuss the progress of the detoxification.

Luther smiled, “Everything’s fine. I feel no discomfort, mom, please don’t worry.”

Joyce’s eyes dimmed, “Mom, from the information you gave me, we haven’t found any leads yet. I’m still trying. The research team is working day and night on this.”

Seeing Joyce’s expression, Cecelia understood that there had been no progress so far. She sighed, “Unfortunately, I can’t help much.”

Luther reassured, “It will be resolved. Dr. Orik called me a couple of days ago; he has returned with a new machine. I’ll go there in a few days to have them reassess my biological environment.”
