You Hit My Heart novel Chapter 1682

Chapter 1682: Restrained

After a moment of dullness, Athena let out a scream of pain, "Ah! It's hot, it hurts!"

In an instant, the pain brought tears to her eyes. She tried to endure it, but eventually couldn't hold back and quietly cried.

The two black-clad individuals panicked and quickly handed Athena some tissues to wipe her hands. One of them hurried to get an ice pack.

Luther pretended not to notice and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were behind me."

A chilling sensation ran through his heart. He couldn't trust the tea she brewed, suspecting that she might have added something to it. Burning her hand was already letting her off easy.

Athena's hands were red from the burn, and she dared not move due to the pain. The black-clad person brought the ice pack and applied it to her burned hand. She gritted her teeth, trembling all over.

The tea was ruined, and she had even added some aphrodisiac. She couldn't accept it. It all felt too coincidental, but she didn't think he would intentionally burn her. She felt a mix of displeasure, pain, and anger.

"It's okay, I'm fine. It'll be better in a little while," she gritted her teeth and said.

Luther averted his gaze, no longer looking at her, and continued playing with Iris.

After applying the ice pack for a while, the black-clad individuals helped Athena apply a burn ointment and wrapped her hand in gauze.

After playing for a while, Alisha felt a bit hot and asked, "Mommy, can I take off my jacket?"

Athena's anger seethed inside her, but she forced herself to speak kindly, "Yes, you can, but you're only wearing a little vest inside. Put the jacket back on when you feel cool again, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Alisha took off her jacket, revealing a little vest underneath. Her tender arms were pink and delicate, with skin as smooth and glossy as a baby's.

Luther's gaze fell on Iris' chest, and he noticed a scar about two centimeters long. It wasn't an ordinary scar; it appeared to be from some kind of precise thoracoscopic surgery.

How could this be? He had inquired in detail at Mufron Manderson Hospital before. Although Iris had relied on a ventilator for three years, she hadn't undergone any major surgeries. Why did she have such a scar near her heart? And it seemed relatively recent, indicating a new injury.

With this doubt in mind, his gaze scanned the exposed areas of Iris' skin.

On Iris' arm, he discovered a cross-shaped mark.

He recognized this mark; it was a subcutaneous tracking device. He had considered injecting it into Anderson before, but later, due to concerns about potential side effects on a child, he and Joyce had given up on the idea.

Unexpectedly, Athena, without any regard, had implanted a tracking device under the skin of such a young child. She didn't care about the harm it caused.

His anger intensified.

Her arm had a tracker, so what was the scar on Iris' chest?

Since he had doubts, he had to find out.

Seeing that Athena had finished treating her burn, he raised his eyes and asked, "What's the scar on Iris' chest? Did she undergo heart surgery before?"

At this moment, Athena slowly raised her exquisite face, revealing an innocent smile. Although she smiled, her smile was chilling.

"She doesn't have a heart condition, so why would she undergo heart surgery? Brother Luther, have you ever heard of a miniature explosive device?"
