As if knowing her worries, Luther gently patted her shoulder, "Just work-related matters."
"Oh."
Joyce waved to Anderson, "Come on, Mommy will take you across the street to eat Japanese seafood fried rice, okay?"
"Great!" Anderson stood up happily.
Joyce took Anderson out of the VIP ward. As she left, she looked inside doubtfully.
She felt something was wrong.
She couldn't say what it was, but ever since Luther woke up, she felt he was a little abnormal, like today when he suddenly wanted to know if the child in her belly was a boy or a girl, and came up with a name for the child on impulse.
As if he had arranged things in advance.
Yet Luther seemed in a good mood and his body showed no abnormalities.
She shook her head. She must be overthinking it.
Perhaps her emotions were affected by Justin's will just now, making her sensitive and overthinking things. No, Otis was dead, and the remaining initiative was firmly in their hands.
The most difficult and darkest times were over.
There were no future troubles, nothing they couldn't solve.
"Mommy, what are you thinking about?" Anderson saw that Joyce wasn't paying attention.
"Nothing, Mommy is thinking about what to order." Joyce held Anderson's hand, smiling as she walked into the Japanese restaurant.
On the other side.
VIP ward.
Justin was leaning against the bed back, sitting up a bit. Although pale, his spirit was undiminished.
Only he and Luther were left in the room.
"I wonder what Mr. Warner wants to talk to me about privately?"
Justin would not be naive enough to believe that what Luther wanted to talk about privately with him was work-related.
He slightly raised his long eyebrows, "There's no one else here now, you can speak."
Luther sat down on the stool next to the bed. Standing for too long, his wound ached slightly.
"Don't go to Mufron, stay." He went straight to the point.
"Why?" Justin suddenly smiled, "Mr. Warner always thought I was the biggest threat. Now that I'm leaving, I won't disturb your lives in the future, yet you want me to stay? I can't understand that."
Luther's voice was cold, "I never thought you were a threat."
Ridiculous. Although he minded that Justin had known Joyce two years earlier and accompanied Joyce through her youth, he was not lacking in confidence to the point of always seeing Justin as his greatest rival and brooding over it.
To be honest, if Joyce had wanted to be with Justin back then, he would not have had a chance.
He did not feel Justin was a threat, purely unpleasant and jealous.
Justin's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.
"Mr. Warner really looks down on people. If you hadn't appeared, wasting until now, she would definitely have been with me." He still had confidence in this. With time and patience, even Joyce wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Sorry. I appeared, there's no 'if'." Luther sneered coldly.
"So what exactly does Mr. Warner want to say to me?" Justin frowned. Luther couldn't possibly stay behind just to argue superiority with him, could he?
Just as Luther was about to speak.
