Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1721: Divorce Agreement

Chapter 1721: Divorce Agreement

In the evening, Jamie was once again brought to Athena's seaside villa with a black hood over his head.

Entering Alisha's room, Jamie quickly asked, "Mr. Warner, what happened? Alisha shouldn't be running a fever anymore."

Luther stood up and made space on the bedside. "Alisha got a whip wound on her arm, and it might be infected. I'm worried it might worsen. Take a look."

"What!" Jamie was shocked and immediately sat down next to Alisha. "How can things get worse at a time like this?"

He carefully examined her, uncovered the wound, and conducted a quick blood test for Alisha. Then he murmured, "This is bad, Mr. Warner. Alisha needs to go to the hospital. We don't know which bacteria she's infected with, and she needs to undergo bacterial culture in a large hospital to use the appropriate antibiotics. I can't just administer medication without knowing. If we can't control the spread of bacteria, i will be very dangerous and may lead to sepsis or other blood diseases. Alisha's body is at its weakest right now."

Upon hearing this, Luther quickly took out a thin blanket from the cabinet. He quickly gathered a few things and toys, wrapped Alisha in the blanket, and held her in his arms.

"Let's go, we're going to the hospital right now."

Jamie looked at the door worriedly. "But they won't let us take Alisha away."

Frowning, Luther walked into the hallway with Alisha in his arms.

As expected, Athena and a group of people blocked the doorway.

"She's not allowed to go anywhere. Having the family doctor come is already my maximum tolerance!" Athena abandoned her wheelchair and stood directly in the living room.

Jamie looked at Athena with confusion. Every time he saw this woman, she was sitting in a wheelchair. It turned out to be a pretense. This woman was truly cunning, pretending to be weak to gain sympathy while harboring a venomous heart.

Luther's anger surged. "Get out of the way. Alisha's condition is worsening, and she must go to the hospital."

He kicked one of the black-clad individuals in front of him and saw another one approaching from behind. He held Alisha tightly and swept his long legs backward, instantly kicking the person away. Two more black-clad individuals surrounded him, but Luther protected Alisha while swiftly taking them down.

The black-clad individuals didn't dare to make a move. After all, they had harmed Mr. Warner, and Athena would also take their lives.

The atmosphere was tense. Athena's eyes darkened. "Luther, if you forcibly take Alisha away, do you think I won't detonate the explosive device?"

Luther clenched his fist, knowing that if Athena had the detonator in her hand, she could end Alisha's life at any moment. How could he let her restrict him? How could he swallow his pride?

Jamie spoke up at this moment. "Alisha needs to go to a large hospital for blood culture and tetanus shots. She needs to receive a comprehensive sterile treatment that can't be provided at home. Miss Ballard, I have really tried my best."

Luther didn't want to listen and walked straight ahead.

Athena furrowed her brow. What if they secretly removed the micro-explosive device from Alisha's body at the hospital? She wouldn't be able to control Luther anymore. He still refused to take the antidote she had obtained, and this matter remained unresolved. She had no way to deal with it.

She took out the detonator she always carried with her and raised it in front of Luther. "If you dare to leave, I will press the button immediately."

Luther paused his steps because he knew this madwoman was capable of anything.

"Press the button, and you'll lose everything," he turned around and warned sternly. "I will make you suffer to the point where you can't bear it, where you'll die without a complete body!"

His gaze was fixated on the detonator in Athena's hand as he calculated how much confidence he had in snatching it away.

"Heh, Luther, shall we make a bet?" Athena wasn't afraid of his threats. "And don't think that trying to snatch the detonator from my hand will work. I've told you, it can be controlled through the network, timed control, all under my manipulation. I can take her life in an instant!"

Luther almost crushed his teeth. He didn't dare to bet because, in his eyes, Athena's life was worthless, but Alisha was the most precious treasure in the world. They couldn't be compared.

"Alisha must go to the hospital tonight, her life is at stake. Athena, it was you who injured her, not that I don't know! Are you even human?" Luther gritted his teeth, every word bursting with anger, his eyes almost bulging out, ready to devour.

If it weren't for Jamie holding him back, he might have lost his sanity.

"Luther, I didn't mean to hurt Alisha. It was purely an accident. I didn't know she was standing by the door. How is her whip wound related to me? I don't want anything to happen to her either. After all, the three of us are a family, and we should live happily together." Athena played with her hair, admiring her newly done manicure, repeatedly touching it.

She twisted her body in an affected manner, approaching Luther. Her blood-red fingernails lightly brushed across his handsome cheek, and a seductive smile appeared on her lips. "Why didn't you agree to my conditions? I have no choice."

"What do you want?" Luther suppressed the disgust in his heart, holding his breath.

Athena snapped her fingers, instructing Jacob, "Go and fetch the documents from my bedside."

"Yes, Miss Athena," Jacob nodded and quickly ran upstairs to retrieve the documents Athena wanted. He handed them to her.

Luther squinted his eyes, wondering what kind of game Athena was playing.

In front of Luther, Athena opened the documents and slowly said, "If you want to take Alisha to the hospital, it can be done. I'll send someone to accompany you. And if you sign this document, I'll let you leave immediately."

Jamie, who was close by, glanced at the documents and drew in a sharp breath. It turned out to be an application for a divorce agreement.

Luther saw it clearly, and his forehead tightened. Damn Athena, she was forcing him to get a divorce.

Even when he repeatedly misunderstood Joyce in the past, he couldn't bear to sign the divorce papers. In the end, he didn't even stamp his seal on the divorce certificate. What about now?!

Once he signed this divorce agreement, if Joyce also signed it, it would take effect immediately.

"Sign it," Athena opened the pen cap and handed it over.

"Alisha is waiting to go to the hospital. Once you sign, Jacob will accompany you," she smirked triumphantly, lightly caressing her own cheek, as if she didn't care about the slap he gave her. In the end, she was the winner.

As long as she held the trump card, he couldn't escape from her grasp.

Luther clenched his fists, the anger causing the veins on the back of his hand to stand out. He wanted to tear the paper in front of him. Tear apart the vicious woman in front of him.

But he had to consider Alisha. She was his Achilles' heel.

He almost crushed the pen in his hand, hesitating for a long time. In the end, he hastily signed his name.

At the moment the pen touched the paper, he felt as if his heart had been ripped away, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Joyce, I'm sorry.

Now, he could only hope that Joyce wouldn't easily sign...
