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, it 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!"
