You Hit My Heart novel Chapter 2103

Chapter 2103: This is Fate

Joyce heard Juanita calling her and quickly walked towards them. Luther followed behind her, with Karl and Chris also joining. A group of people gathered around a casual table, chatting away.

Juanita said, "As hosts, you came out so late, it's really too much. You're neglecting us." Everyone knew the real reason. They were an old couple, not newlyweds; was it really necessary?

Joyce laughed, "Sorry, it won't happen again." She glared at Luther and lied, "Someone had a video conference all morning. A workaholic who can't change."

Luther looked back at Joyce speechlessly. Some things didn't need an explanation; those who understood would understand. Explaining would only make things worse.

"Speaking of workaholics, no one used to beat my Karl," Juanita teased. "But now he's changed; he's almost a doting father."

Karl chuckled and shook his head. How did he not know that Juanita was so jealous? Her words were full of sourness.

"Joyce, Mr. Warner, I couldn't help last time, but I'm glad you managed..."

Before Karl could finish, Joyce interrupted, "You're just born to worry. Relax a bit; everything will work out in the end. Understand? The world keeps turning."

Karl laughed, "Yes, ma'am, you're right."

Joyce rolled her eyes at him, "With that attitude, I won't tell you anything in the future."

Karl was speechless.

Luther took a sip of his tea. Chris then said, "I heard about your situation too. It's really not fair; no one asked me for help. I have military power at my disposal. Just say the word and I could send troops to Rohomes in no time."

"Come on, Chris," Kane suddenly appeared from nowhere. "If they could contact you, they could contact anyone. Military power? Who doesn't have it? Doesn't my sister's family have it? If war could solve the problem, it wouldn't be a problem! Besides, we have to thank my brother-in-law for negotiating a perfect solution without any damage. Otherwise, they'd still be in Rohomes eating raw fish every day!"

Chris glared at Kane for undermining him.

Kane kept talking, "In that godforsaken place, all we ate were cold meals; it made my stomach hurt so much. At least now I can eat something warm."

"The high-tech products I gave my sister didn't even come in handy," Kane said as he took out Joyce's gun-shaped brooch from his pocket. It was both a brooch and a pendant with dual functions.

"Look at this; it has 3D projection and voice control features with the latest AI system embedded. Through voice commands, it can display floating visual frames for basic information queries and has communication functions too. But once satellite communication is cut off, it's useless. It's such a pity that my sister couldn't use it."

"Pity? Not at all," Luther said discontentedly. "Kane, I hope this thing never gets used in our lifetime."

"Right, right, brother-in-law is absolutely right." Since Luther replaced him and let him retreat first, Kane had almost become his biggest supporter.
