Chapter 1796: Starting Over
"I think what the Grand Marshal's wife said makes a lot of sense. From a psychological perspective,
she is correct. The reason why Alisha accepted Luther is because Athena told her he was her dad.
This trust was built on the foundation of Athena. It is easy to shake. That's why we have the current
dilemma. On the contrary, to rebuild trust, we need to break the existing environment and patterns and
start over," Karl analyzed.
Joyce knew that Karl had studied psychology, so what he said must be reasonable.
She was just reluctant to let go of Alisha beside her. She had just met Alisha after being separated from
birth, and she had only held Alisha in her arms for this brief moment.
Once Alisha woke up, she would definitely see her as the enemy and hate her to the bone.
"How do we start over?" Luther asked. He looked at Joyce worriedly, knowing she must be reluctant.
After all, he had spent some time with Alisha, but it was different for Joyce. She had just met Alisha and
now had to forcibly separate them.
"What I mean by starting over is what the Grand Marshal's wife suggested - taking Alisha away. When
she wakes up and finds herself in a completely unfamiliar environment, her instincts will drive her to
quickly adapt. The first person she sees when she wakes up is the Grand Marshal's wife, and the one
who takes care of her is also the Grand Marshal's wife. After a long time, it will seep into her
subconscious. She will also forget about the past. Once the Grand Marshal's wife establishes a
relationship of trust with Alisha, it will be completely different when Alisha meets the Major and Mr.
Warner again," Karl said.
"For example, you can first let her see news and information about you on TV and magazines, which
will shake her inner misconceptions and let her understand what the Major and Mr. Warner are really
like. On the other hand, you can try to obtain some negative information about Athena and let her see it
inadvertently, so she knows what Athena is really like. A child's heart is not difficult to break through, it
won't take too long. By then, Alisha will first regain her trust in Mr. Warner, and then accept the Major."
"I remember once Alisha saw Athena whipping a servant. She was hiding behind the door and was
accidentally hit by Athena's whip. She was very ill because of this incident. For a period of time, she
was indeed afraid of Athena. I could have taken advantage of this to shake Athena's status in Alisha's
heart, but I really couldn't wait. That's why I had to act prematurely," Luther still regretted. "I knew the
timing was not right, but I had no choice."
Joyce gently held Luther's hand. "You've done your best. Don't blame yourself. No one wanted this to
happen."
Cecelia then said, "That's right, this is what I think. If you have no objections, I'll take Alisha back to the
Capital with me now, back to the Grand Marshal's residence."
Joyce's heart twitched as she held Alisha tighter. She understood the reasoning, but she really couldn't
bear to let go.
Luther sighed, "You still have two children in your belly to take care of. If Alisha wakes up and
continues to make trouble, or hurts you again, what will you do? For long term considerations, we can
only do this for now."
Joyce bit her lip and gently stroked Alisha's little face. "Let me look at her a little longer."
Cecelia said, "I will send you her videos every day, unless there are special circumstances. Alisha will
be safe with me. If you are worried, Anderson can come with me too."
Anderson thought about it, then put his arm around Joyce's arm. "I want to stay with Mommy. I can
protect Mommy. You see, I did very well this time. I didn't get caught by the bad guys, right?"
"Yes," Cecelia smiled and stroked Anderson's head. "Anderson is the most sensible. Alright, with both
children away, you won't feel good either. Anderson can stay, I'll take Alisha."
After a pause, Cecelia's voice was somewhat choked up, "I wasn't able to raise you since you were
little. It's my biggest regret in this life. Seeing Alisha reminds me of you when you were little. Being able
to take care of Alisha, I have no more regrets. As soon as Alisha starts listening, I will bring her to see
you and let you get along slowly until Alisha fully accepts you."
Joyce was moved. "Mom, I never resented you, really, you don't need to blame yourself."
"Since everyone has decided, I'll go make arrangements," Karl said. "Grand Marshal, you go back first.
I still have some other business to take care of, so I'll stay one more day before going back."
Cecelia nodded.
Karl turned and left the ward.
"Anderson, go play with Uncle Darrin for a while. I have something to discuss with your dad and mom,"
Cecelia said gently to Anderson with a smile.
Anderson understood that the adults must have important things to discuss.
He obediently nodded, "Okay. Let me take one last look at my sister."
With that, he climbed onto the bedside, cupped Alisha's little face in his hands, looked left and right, up
and down. Finally, he kissed Alisha's forehead.
"Hurry up and let me see my sister again. I want to play with her."
Cecelia promised, "Don't worry, I will. I won't make you wait too long."
"Okay," Anderson bounced out of the ward happily.
Darrin outside understood and took the initiative to close the door for them and took Anderson away for
some distance.
At this time, Joyce asked, "Mom, is there something you want to tell us?"
"Yes. It's about the poison in Luther's body," Cecelia said solemnly. She got up and brought the large
pile of materials she had brought in front of Joyce.
"This is all the information on the families of the lab staff. And all the video recordings of the interviews
with them. I don't know which ones will be useful to you. So I brought them all. Please go through them
carefully yourself and look for more clues."
Joyce took them over. She opened it and saw that it was full of documents and various video discs.
She nodded. "Okay. I will."
Cecelia looked at Luther with concern, "How is your physical condition?"
Luther smiled gently. "I don't feel anything on normal days. Occasionally there is bleeding, but it's still
under control for now. Don't worry too much. I've hired the best microbial team in the world. They are
working day and night to help me find an antidote. I believe there will be results soon."
Cecelia knew Luther was just saying this to reassure her.
She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. The secret base of the warlords caused big trouble. I didn't have full
control of it at the beginning, which allowed the lab to fall into Otis's hands. It was my negligence. They
also died because of this."
Joyce comforted, "Mom, everything will be resolved." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"Okay. Let's not mention the past. You both take care of yourselves," Cecelia nodded.
