You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1715: Believe

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.”

"Mr. Warner, don't worry, I understand,” Jamie promised.

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.

After everyone had left.

Luther half-leaned on the sofa, holding Alisha closer to him, her small head nestled tightly against his chest. As if feeling safe, Alisha finally released her grip on his hand and let it naturally fall to the side.

Her eyelashes trembled lightly, her small lips slightly parted, and her soft body rose and fell with each breath.

He gently caressed her, his long fingers outlining her small features.

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.
