You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1921: Good News Arrives

Upon returning home, Luther was playing with Alisha, building with blocks, a challenging puzzle. But Alisha loved it. Meanwhile,

Anderson lay on the sofa, engrossed in a gon his phone. Joyce, upon seeing this, couldn't help but frown.

"Anderson, you're still young. Don't strain your eyes; prolonged staring at your phone isn't good," she remarked, then glared at

Luther. "And you, can't you look after him?"

Luther set Alisha down and stood up. "You're back? I've been trying, but it seems it only works when you say something."

Anderson stuck out his tongue and tossed his phone aside. "Fine, I'll stop. I'll help Alisha build blocks. Is that all right?"

Alisha happily ran over to Joyce, "Mommy, will you play with me?"

"Where's Grandma?" Joyce looked around.

"She's gone to buy seafood. She insists on getting it fresh from the sea every morning," Anderson replied. "She said she's making

sea urchin stew and abalone with roasted pork today."

Joyce embraced Alisha, "Alisha, are the blocks fun?"

Alisha nodded, "Yes, Daddy has been playing withall morning."

As Anderson got up from the sofa, he grabbed a slice of jackfruit and popped it into his mouth. "Yeah, so no one's been with me.

Blah blah blah," he said, making a face.

Joyce smiled gently, surprised to find that Luther was very patient when he was with his daughter. It seems that men really do

favor their daughters and are closer to them, while they let their sons run wild-a completely different approach.

Luther felt a headache coming on. With two children in the house, there was already competition, making it really hard not to show

favoritism. And with Joyce still carrying two more, once they're born, the house will be even livelier. It's hard to imagine, but it's

possible that there might be fights in the house in the future.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but massage his temples.

Anderson was always easy-going, his cheeks puffed out. "I was just kidding. Don't worry about it. How could | compete with Dad

and Mom? You guys should spend more twith her."

Joyce patted Anderson's head, feeling a pang of affection for his maturity. The truth was, Anderson was also lonely. Over the past

few years, she had been busy with work and hadn't had much tto be with him. Now with a younger sister to care for and

younger brothers on the way, she might end up neglecting Anderson again.

"Anderson, if you ever feel aggrieved, you must speak up, okay? | will do my best to make you all happy," Joyce said gently.

Anderson hugged Joyce, giving her a tight squeeze. "Mom, I'm really happy now. You don't need to do anything. We're fine just

being together as a family."

"Of course," Luther promised.

"Alisha, Anderson, play for a while. | need to talk to Mommy for a bit," he said as he brought Alisha over to Anderson. "We'll be

going out in a while. Anderson, take care of your sister."

"Okay," Anderson nodded. "No problem, you can trust me!"

Joyce understood, leaving the living room to follow Luther onto the terrace, putting sdistance between them so their

conversation wouldn't be overheard.

"Athena's ashes have been sent off. Christian might leave in the next couple of days. Are you really not going to see him off?"

Joyce asked.

"No need. Didn't Felix also not go? Men don't need so much formality. We can just call each other if something comes up," Luther

shrugged. He had no intention of going to the airport; he didn't want to have anything to do with Athena, even in death.

"What else did you talk about?" Luther inquired. "Did he do anything to you?"

Joyce glanced at him. If he found out that, before leaving, Christian had hugged her, he would surely get jealous.

"What? Are you worried? Why didn't you go yourself?" she teased.

"Worried? Why would | be worried?" Luther awkwardly chuckled. He really felt repulsed by Christian's affection but he couldn't

show it.

"You calledout here just to ask about this?" Joyce knew there was something else, so she asked.

"Orik and Dr. Jocelyn have snews. They want us to cto the lab," Luther said.

Joyce felt a surge of joy, a smile spreading across her face. "Why didn't you say this was so important earlier? Have they developed

the antidote?"

Luther shrugged. "I didn't get the specifics. We'lltalk about it when we get there. There should be hope."

"Great!" Joyce had been on edge for a long time. This matter had been a thorn in her heart. As long as this thorn remained, she

couldn't find peace.

"Why the rush? We're not running late. Besides, we can't leave right now. We can go after your mom comes back to watch the

kids," Luther said, pulling Joyce back.

Joyce lost her balance and fell into his arms.
