You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1718: A Brutal Scene

Luther was taken aback, clearly not expecting Christian to make such a request. But upon further thought, it was understandable. After all, for the past few years, Alisha had been in a coma at the hospital, and Christian had taken care of her. Now that Christian knew Alisha had woken up, it was only natural for him to feel relieved.

Luther gently touched Alisha's hair and said, “This Uncle Ballard saved you when you were little. Would you like to let him hold you?"

Alisha looked at Christian and asked, "Uncle Ballard, you have the same last name as Daddy. Are you Mommy's brother?"

Christian was startled. Could the "Mommy" Alisha referred to be Athena?! Athena actually claimed to be Alisha's mother. What was she planning?

Christian was about to speak when Luther shook his head, indicating that Christian shouldn't say anything. It wasn't the right time yet, and Alisha wouldn't be able to accept it.

Christian opened his mouth but swallowed his words. “Uh, can I hold you, Alisha? I watched you grow up when you were little,” he asked softly.

Alisha clung to Luther's neck, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay." She opened her arms to Christian.

Christian took Alisha from Luther's embrace and held her in his arms. Her body was soft, small, and warm-a tangible presence. He was a bit excited, and his arms trembled uncontrollably. When he held Alisha, he was extremely careful, afraid of accidentally bumping her. It felt like cradling the most cherished treasure.

He had thought that Alisha was dead, but now that he knew she was alive, the news was incredibly shocking. His eyes lit up, and it felt like the whole world was illuminated.

Luther looked at Christian with a complicated expression. They had been good friends since childhood, and if it weren't for Athena's interference, they might still be friends. Unfortunately, that bond had been broken, and they could never regain it.

But now, it seemed that through Alisha, the relationship between them had subtly changed once again.
