Chapter 1914 "Abuse"
After a brief rest with Alisha, Joyce woke up just in time to see Cecelia preparing dinner for the
evening. The whole family gathered around the long table for a sumptuous feast. Various dishes
covered the table, including braised shark fin with money belly, tender and juicy Wagyu beef, chicken
soup with sea cucumber and scallops, lotus pond moonlight stir-fry, rare black truffle fish roe,
matsutake mushrooms, blanched turbot, and crystal-clear desserts, each a delicacy.
"Mom, you definitely surpass Michelin-star chefs," Joyce couldn't help but praise.
"From what I know, your cooking skills are inherited from me," Cecelia boasted unreservedly.
"That's absolutely true," Luther's handsome face was full of smiles as he picked a piece of beef for
Alisha, cutting it into small pieces for her convenience. "Is it tasty?"
Alisha's mouth was full, "Mmm. Grandma's beef is the best!"
Anderson pretended to pout, "Ever since my little sister came back, no one cares about me. I didn't
have to use chopsticks myself before."
Upon hearing this, Joyce picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Anderson's bowl. "Take your time,
watch out for the fish bones. Don't talk while eating."
Rolling his eyes, Anderson retorted, "You're doing this on purpose, trying to shut me up."
Cecelia chuckled and lightly tapped Anderson's head, "You, you're so clever."
Anderson stuck out his tongue and silently continued eating.
Alisha was in a good mood, adapting well to the new environment. She took the initiative, "Grandma,
can we live here from now on?"
"Of course!" Cecelia looked at Alisha gently, picking up some matsutake for her. "Eat more, take care of
your health, it's easy to get sick when it gets cold."
Cecelia looked at Joyce, "I will stay here for a while. I discussed it with your father. You are at the most
critical stage of your pregnancy, and you're carrying twins, making it increasingly inconvenient as your
belly grows. So, I've put aside the affairs in the warlord's territory and plan to stay until you give birth."
Alisha looked up, her eyes sparkling, "I heard I will have two little brothers. Is it true?"
"It is true," Anderson added, "You need to prepare yourself. The house will be very noisy in the future.
There won't be any more leisurely days like now."
Luther... Alisha was confused, "Why would it be very noisy? I don't think so. Having two little brothers is
great, I'll have someone to play with. I can take care of them, too. Brother, when the little brothers are
born, let's play the game of taking care of the baby together, okay?"
Anderson was speechless. Playing house games with girls? And having to deal with two soon-to-be-
hatched brothers. He suddenly felt that he had been used to peace and quiet before, and he didn't
know if he could adapt to the noisy and chaotic scenes at home. The thought of it was quite unsettling.
"What are you thinking? The little brothers are not toys. You have to wait for them to grow a little before
you can play with them," Luther furrowed his brows slightly, afraid that his twin sons might be "abused."
"Okay..." Alisha pouted, looking disappointed.
Joyce watched them discuss the future with a smile. Such a heartwarming scene was truly rare.
After dinner, Joyce helped Cecelia tidy up. Cecelia asked, "Shouldn't you go to the hospital? I heard the
two children who were kidnapped earlier have been taken to the hospital. Shouldn't you visit them?"
"We should," Joyce nodded, "I've already talked to Luther. I'll help you clean up, and then we'll leave
together."
"I don't need your help. You should go quickly and come back soon," Cecelia stopped Joyce from
taking the dishes. "Don't touch cold water, dry your hands, and go about your business."
Joyce thought for a moment, "Okay."
She took a towel and wiped the water stains from her hands.
"Take Anderson with you. I heard they are his classmates. It's better for him to go and visit," Cecelia
instructed. "Alisha will stay at home, and I will take care of her."
"Yeah, that's what we planned. I just told Anderson. He's upstairs changing clothes," Joyce embraced
Cecelia from behind. "Mom, thank you. It's great to have you."
"I should be saying that. It's great to have you all," Cecelia turned around and hugged Joyce. "Thank
you for coming back to me, making my later years regret-free. Joyce, remember, no matter what This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
happens, mom will always be by your side."
"Yeah," Joyce's throat choked, "Mom, I'm going."
"Go quickly," Cecelia smiled slightly.
Before she could start crying, Joyce quickly turned around. What's wrong with her lately? She's been
increasingly sentimental.
At the door, Luther and Anderson were already dressed, waiting for her.
Joyce hugged Alisha, "Be good, go play with Grandma, okay?"
"Okay, make sure to come back soon," Alisha's voice was sweet, "Brother, I'm waiting for you to play
games together."
"Don't worry, I'll play with you every day from now on," Anderson promised.
Alisha was extremely happy, bouncing as she turned and ran to the kitchen to find her grandmother.
Joyce, Luther, and Anderson left together.
Aaron drove, taking them to the hospital where Westbrook and Kiki were located.
On the way, Luther asked, "How are the two kids doing?" Drąмanоvels.com
"I asked earlier. After Westbrook and Kiki were taken to the hospital, they both fell into a coma. Kiki has
already woken up, but Westbrook hasn't," Aaron explained.
Joyce was stunned, "Why? How did they end up in a coma?"
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the children are okay."
