Chapter 1971: I Can Prove It for Him
Just as Luther was at his wit's end, suddenly, a clear and bright female voice rang out, "I can prove it for him."
The door to the hospital room was gently pushed open. The person who walked in was none other than Cecelia.
Joyce followed the sound of the voice and saw Cecelia, calling out gently, "Mom, you're back."
Cecelia looked radiant, "It's good that you're awake. Luther has been beside your bed, worried sick. He hasn't left for a moment. I offered to take over for him, but he refused. I told him to rest in the next room, but he wouldn't. It's really unfortunate that the moment I left, you went into labor early. When I received the news and rushed over, you had already given birth and passed out."
She walked over and reached out to feel Joyce's forehead, "It's good that you don't have a fever. I have some experience - some people pass out after giving birth simply because they're tired. The doctor also said that all the indicators are normal. There's no internal bleeding or inflammation. Just get some rest, and you'll naturally wake up. I've tried to reassure Luther, but he's just too worried and insists on staying by your side. I had no choice but to follow suit."
Luther held Joyce's hand, his big hand tightly enveloping hers.
"She hasn't been waking up, of course I'm worried. Mom, please explain to her quickly that the poison in my body really has been neutralized. Last night, when Dr. Jocelyn brought the antidote, you even chatted with her for a bit. You know the situation best - the poison in me has been neutralized. My sense of taste and vision have returned. Joyce just won't believe me."
Joyce looked at Cecelia, "Is what he says true?"
"It is true!" Cecelia nodded with a smile. "He didn't lie to you; the poison really has been neutralized. Dr. Jocelyn said that there's no need to go back for blood tests; she has already conducted experiments. And the real antidote should work in one go. There's no issue of residual poison. As for Luther's sense of taste, it has undoubtedly returned. At 3 a. m., when he was too tired, I prepared beef and vegetable porridge for him. At that moment, he could taste the flavors - fresh, salty, all without any issue. Don't worry. If you can't trust him, can you not trust me? Have I ever deceived you?"
With that, Cecelia affectionately patted Joyce's head, as a mother would.
At that moment, Joyce finally believed.
She felt her whole body go soft, a genuine burden lifted off her, feeling incredibly relieved.
"Too good, it's really too good." Joyce's lips trembled with excitement, "Really too good, really just in time. So good, so good!"
She repeated it several times, "So good."
Not knowing how to express her excitement, she suddenly threw herself into Luther's arms, tightly hugging his neck, hanging onto him, burying herself in his neck.
Even though her mother was present, she wouldn't normally have such courage. But now, she didn't care about anything else, just wanting to express her excitement through action.
"So good!" she quivered. Due to his poisoning, she had finally resolved this matter. The burden in her heart lifted. She no longer had to worry about his life, no longer had to worry about not growing old with him.
Luther was infected by Joyce's excitement, hugging her back tightly, gently patting her back.
"It's all over, everything's fine."
After the excitement subsided, Joyce gradually regained her composure.
Curiously, Cecelia asked how exactly Joyce found out the original microbial code.
So, Joyce briefly recounted how, after Luther fainted and was taken to the hospital, she overheard a conversation at the emergency room door that sparked her inspiration, reminding her of the last thing Otis told her.
East, 53, radon 53!
What Otis wanted to tell her in the end was the original microbial code for making the poison.
Following that, Joyce returned home, sent the data to Dr. Jocelyn, and encountered Grayson breaking into her house.
She did not hide anything. Instead, she revealed how Grayson had initially planned on abducting her, but due to her sudden labor, he chose to take her to the hospital instead, letting her off the hook.
"Grayson must be a false name; I'm certain he's from Rohomes, not Gon Macreddin. As for his real identity, he didn't reveal it before leaving. He approached us with a purpose, to find a breakthrough in the anti-electromagnetic pulse design drawings. Now he's definitely already left." After explaining the situation, Joyce stated.
Luther's thick eyebrows almost formed a knot, his eyes darkening. "My intuition was right; Grayson is definitely not simple. He deliberately had us rescue him while we were at sea."
Joyce sighed, "I'm sorry; I was careless and let the wolf into the house. With this said, Rohomes must have already caught on; there's a problem with the diagrams Suzuki Jun handed over to them.
The key technology hasn't been cracked. So, they're not giving up, wanting to find the true core of anti-electromagnetic pulse technology."
"No wonder there's been so much activity from Rohomes recently. They must want to divert my attention back to the Capital, so Grayson can target you. When I returned to the Capital, I found nothing overly important to deal with." Cecelia pondered. "It seems like things aren't over yet. This Grayson won't give up easily."
"By the way, where's Jude? What about him? Grayson said he kidnapped Jude." Suddenly, Joyce remembered Jude and anxiously asked, "I wonder if Jude is still in town. Quickly send someone to rescue him. Jude is innocent; he's old and can't handle such turmoil. Besides, he doesn't know the core details."
Realizing this, Joyce was eager to get out of bed.
Luther firmly held her down. "Don't get worked up; I've heard about this already. Jude was released; he got back home yesterday. He's safe; you don't need to worry. I didn't know who was behind it at the time, but now that you've mentioned it, I understand the situation." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, that's fine then. No one else was implicated. I plan on having Jude retire directly; let's not involve him any further."
Luther nodded.
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. You're awake now, so I'm going to call the doctor over to check on your condition." Cecelia said, "Plus, you've been unconscious for two days; you must be hungry. Let me get you some porridge first; eat a little to regain your strength."
"Okay. I want to go see the babies in the nursery." Joyce's face was full of anticipation; after giving birth, she had only glanced at them briefly and hadn't even seen her sons' faces clearly.
"Okay, one step at a time. Andres and Alisha will come over in a while. We'll go see the children together." Luther gently embraced her, "Let's have the doctor examine you first."
Joyce nodded.
