You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1944: The Sky Won't Fall Before Her

A shadow of embarrassment flickered across Luther's handsome face.

"You found out?" he cautiously probed.

"During dinner, I sensed something was off with you. I know your taste too well. Even if you try to please my mother and say the food is good, you unconsciously furrow your brow. It's a habitual gesture of yours. But today, you didn't do that at all. I noticed it then. After that, I carefully observed you eat every dish. Your complexion looked terrible, absent-minded. We were talking, but you often zoned out. So I knew something was definitely wrong," Joyce suddenly threw herself into his arms. "Don't hide it from me. Tell me quickly, did you just talk to Dr. Orik? What happened? Tell me."

Luther held her tightly. "I didn't want to hide it from you. There's no point in keeping it from you. I just haven't confirmed it yet. The person I just talked to was Dr. Jocelyn. Yes, it seems like my sense of taste is having some issues."

"What kind of issues exactly?" Joyce looked up from his embrace, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "Has your sense of taste disappeared?"

"It hasn't completely disappeared, I can still taste a bit," Luther explained. "It didn't happen overnight, it has been fading slowly for a few days. Until today, it suddenly diminished a lot. I suspect it might completely disappear in a couple of days."

"Why though? Did Dr. Jocelyn explain?" Joyce bit her lip, feeling at a loss.

Luther shook his head. "She mentioned that from the last time she drew my blood, although the toxins seemed to have been cleared on the surface, they are actually striking back. The loss of taste is one of the side effects."

"Does she have a solution?" Joyce's eyes welled up. Just now she held hope, now she was beginning to feel despair little by little.

"There's no good solution for now, we can only take it step by step," Luther shook his head, trying to console her. "Talking out here will raise the children's suspicions. Let's go inside. This situation is as it is now, it's not something we can control. It's better to wait for the results."

His hand slipped up, holding her waist. Trying to lead her inside.

Joyce couldn't hold back her tears, a crystal droplet slid from her eye.
