You Hit My Heart
Chapter 1664 The Tanaka Family
Three days later, Luther returned to Khebury with Joyce, Anderson, and
Darrin. The Mufron group was ultimately unsuccessful. Upon returning
to the Warner residence, the matter was not publicized and only a few
people knew about it. After Mr. Arnold found out, he destroyed
everything that had been prepared to move lIris's grave, as it seemed
ominous to prepare such things when life and death were uncertain.
The jet lag was a bit tough, and Anderson lay in Joyce's arms, rubbing
his eyes. After holding back for several days, he finally couldn't help but
ask, "Mommy, is it possible that my sister is still alive?"
Joyce took a deep breath. "Well, for now, no news is good news."
Her eyes dimmed. "Sleep now. You've been through enough these past
few days. Daddy and Mommy will take care of these things, so you
don't need to worry."
"Mm, goodnight, Mommy. I hope my sister is okay." Anderson closed
his eyes and fell asleep.
Joyce walked out of the room and closed the door. She looked up and
saw Luther already dressed and ready to leave. âAre you going out? It's
so late," she said, looking at the clock. It was almost ten o'clock, and
she was puzzled.
"Yeah, Felix has been looking for me a few times, so I have to go,"
Luther said, hugging Joyce and kissing her ear. "I might come back
very late. Don't wait for me, go to bed early."
Joyce reached out and held him. "Wait."
Luther turned around.
Joyce pulled him down and stroked his handsome cheek. "You seem to
have something on your mind."
Luther kissed her lips. "How could I not have something on my mind?
Did you notice? Sorry, I didn't want to affect your mood."
Joyce sighed. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whatever the
outcome, I won't blame you."
Luther's heart shook, and his thin lips trembled slightly. "Okay, I know.
Rest well. I'm leaving now." He turned around and left, his tall figure
disappearing at the door.
Joyce's eyes dimmed again. She felt that something was wrong with
him, and it wasn't just the pressure he was under. He seemed restless.
One night, she woke up in the middle of the night and found him
standing in the hotel living room, looking out the window. He didn't
sleep and just stood there, looking out the window until dawn. She
didn't know what he was thinking.
And then there were the strange things he said.
She shook her head and told herself to trust him. She shouldn't be
thinking too much.
She went to the living room and sat on the sofa, flipping through the
news aimlessly. She had seen Luther look at news about the Rohomes
monarchy dispute before, and she happened to come across it again.
The dispute over the Rohomes monarchy was like an epic historical
drama, with complex and intricate relationships between the characters
that were bizarre and chaotic.
She noticed that there were two major families in Rohomes, the Tanaka
family, and the Yoshikawa family. One controlled the monarchy, and the
other controlled the military. One was the emperor, and the other was
equivalent to the old shogunate. They balanced and restrained each
other, while also marrying each other and being enemies.
Over the centuries, the two major families had constantly split, merged,
and split again, in a legendary experience.
Tanaka...
Joyce suddenly remembered the man she had met at the National
Hospital, the grandson of an old man. When he introduced himself, he
seemed to have mentioned Tanaka. She thought about it carefully and
remembered his name: Reuben!
That silver-haired man was named Tanaka. She hadn't paid much
attention at the time because there were also many people named
Newman in Pascaylia. She didn't think about it too much.
The names of the members of the Rohomes monarchy were not made
public. Although there were many people named Tanaka, she had a
feeling that the silver-haired man was not an ordinary person. She
didn't know if he had any connections to the monarchy, or why he
would appear in Pascaylia.
Joyce thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She shook her
head. Recently, Rohomes had appeared in her line of sight frequently.
The third-party force related to Otis, the man with excellent skills she
had met at the Capital Peninsula Bank, and now Reuben.
She had a feeling that something unusual was going to happen.
On the other side, Luther arrived at Felix's place.
He frowned when he pushed open the door.
The room was full of the smell of alcohol, the curtains were tightly
closed, and there was no light in the room, making it lifeless.
He kicked the wine bottle onthe floor and walked to the window. With a
"whoosh," he opened the curtains and the window, allowing fresh air to
come in.
Felix was sitting on the floor, and the cold wind of the night blew in,
cutting his face like a knife, making him feel even more despondent.
When he saw Luther, he said, "You finally came."
Luther frowned. "Why did you do this to yourself? Is it because of
Vicki?"
Felix picked up a bottle of alcohol from the floor and was about to drink
it.
Luther took the bottle from him and said, "Don't drink anymore."
Felix held his head. "She hasn't talked to me for days. I went to look for
her, but she wouldn't see me. These past few days, she even left
DeNox without saying goodbye or whether she would come back. Don't
laugh at me, but I really can't be without her now. I can't stand even a
day without her. Is her heart made of stone? We've been together for
four years. She can't have no feelings for me, can she?"
His voice grew even more mournful. "Even though I explained it so
many times, Christian still won't believe me. He's still obsessed with the
Athena matter. What does he want? We even ended up falling out over
it."
"She didn't die,â Luther said coldly, suddenly breaking the silence.
