Luther nodded.

He gently stroked Alisha, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He was about to get up when Alisha’s hands tightly grasped him.

He sighed helplessly. "Taking care of her day and night these past few days has made her cling to me even more. Jamie, I won't see you off. They will still blindfold you and take you back. After you return, you must keep everything that happens here a secret.”

Luther snapped his fingers, and the black-clad person who had been guarding outside walked in.

"Mr. Warner, what are your orders?" Under Athena's command, the black-clad person showed great respect towards Luther.

"Escort Dr. Jamie back," Luther waved his hand.

"Yes." The black-clad person led Jamie away.

Before Jamie left, he bowed slightly to Luther and then respectfully turned and left.

It was evident that Alisha lacked love and a sense of security. Throughout her illness, she had clung to him, unwilling to let go. She was particularly sensitive, instantly sensing when he was away and grabbing him to stop him. She was also very careful, afraid that he would be unhappy or reject her.
