Chapter 904
You Hit My Heart
Outside the window, the lake reflected the bright colorful lights.
Inside the window, time seemed to have stopped for this beautiful
picture, and the two of them remained motionless.
Karl gently raised his hand and wiped away the teardrops from the
corner of her eyes.
âI'm sorry to have put you through this."
He said gently.
Even more tears brimmed over from her eyes.
At the moment, she was not at all like the usual excited, cute Juanita.
Hurrying to wipe her tears, she sniffled, âI'm sorry. I lost my manners."
"By the way, you haven't told me about Joyce. It's great that she's still
alive. Just, why didn't she tell me, and she didn't come to me? I have
been worried for her for so long." Juanita puckered up her lips in a
disgruntled manner.
âThings are a little complicated.â
Karl briefly told Juanita about the events of the morning, including the
strange death of Mr. Walsh, his unmasking of Zora's true identity, and
Joyce's desire to get close to Otis and investigate Charlotte.
"Can I meet her?"
After hearing this, Juanita showed a worried look. Although four years
have passed, the thrill of that year was still vivid in her heart.
How could she not be worried when Joyce had to continue to take such
risks after her survival?
"Now, Joyce wears a special mask that hides her true face. And,
although she had a partnership with Luther on a real estate project, she
said Luther didn't know she was Joyce. They are simply partners now.
I've heard about the project, and Otis is also part of it. I think Joyce
must have gotten involved in this real estate project for him."
Karl paused and said, "If she gets too close to you, I'm afraid it will
arouse Luther's suspicion. I don't think she wants Luther to know who
she really is."
He frowned. Although Joyce wore a mask, her temperament, her
demeanor, and even her eyes remained the same. Luther had spent so
much time with Joyce, was it possible that Luther would not suspect?
âBut I really miss her." Juanita was in a somewhat depressed mood.
âI'll call her and ask. Just a moment." Karl took out his cell phone and
dialed Joyce's number.
Just in time, Joyce took Anderson to just finish a barbecue.
This afternoon, she took Anderson to the park, and Anderson was tired,
so he took a nap in her arms.
She held Anderson in her arms, sitting on a bench in the park, bathed
in the warm evening sunlight, and looking at the shimmering lake in
front of her, and she forgot about all her worries. It was a quiet and
peaceful afternoon.
By the time Anderson woke up, it was nighttime.
She simply took Anderson around the downtown, and took him to a
barbecue.
Joyce was a little surprised to receive Karl's call. She held Anderson
hand and picked up the phone.
"Hey, Karl, what's up?"
Karl said on the phone, "Julia wants to see you. Is this a good time?"
Julia? Joyce froze, and then she remembered that Karl had said in the
morning that Juanita's real name was Julia Sanchez.
Juanita wanted to see her? In fact, she missed Juanita too. After all,
Juanita was her only best friend she had in Khebury.
"Good. No problem.â Joyce responded with pleasure.
Julia... When he called her this way, Juanita blushed. Although her real
name was Julia and it was normal for him to call her Julia, usually he
just called her Juanita. The sudden change made her quite nervous,
and her cheeks were on fire.
âIs there a cafe near you? Let's go over to you." Karl asked.
