Chapter 1784: Extorting You

It felt like an eternity, the time dragged on, torturing every minute and second.

Alisha was the first to be brought out. She was still unconscious, her face pale, devoid of any color. Her chest was wrapped in thick gauze, and her arm, exposed on the outside, was receiving an intravenous infusion.

Luther stood in the VIP intensive care unit, watching as the doctors and nurses settled Alisha.

He asked, "When will she wake up?"

The doctor replied, "We gave her a small dose of sedative. In the operating room earlier, she suddenly woke up, as if she had been greatly startled. She kept crying for her mommy, and we couldn't control her. I had no choice but to give her an injection. She should sleep until tomorrow morning at least.”

Luther nodded. It was for the best. He didn't have the energy to take care of Alisha now. The most important thing was Joyce's safety.

Darrin had dispatched a few of the warlords’ men to guard outside the VIP intensive care unit.

The hospital was also surrounded by the mercenary group arranged by Luther, leaving no room for safety breaches. Not even a fly could enter. Calculating the time, Athena should have been taken to Christian's side and wouldn't come to bother them for the time being.
