Ch. 2651..2660

Chapter 2651

(Yeah!) Luna shifted into a more comfortable position as she laid on the chaise lounge. She continued to reply to Joshua‘s text message. (But Gwen said she dreamed of Luke last night. In her dream, Luke nearly hit her with his car and that he brought her into his car afterward. She recalled hugging Luke, crying and laughing as she did, but Luke said he didn‘t know her, even saying he has a fiancee. No matter how Gwen cried and begged, he kept on saying he didn‘t know her.]

(After that, he even had his driver drive him to his fiancee‘s house, and Gwen didn‘t remember anything later. She added that since she was found in the dumpster when she woke up, Luke‘s fiancee‘s house must be in the dumpster in her dream!) (What do you think? Do you think she has let it go or not after having such a dream?] Luna was under the impression that this was all a light texting session with Joshua over the phone. Nonetheless, Joshua entered a moment of deep thought after reading the text messages Luna sent.

‘The dream Gwen thought she had shouldn‘t be a dream. So...‘

He narrowed his eyes and called Lucas. “Check the surveillance footage of the road, especially from three to four o‘clock in the morning. The roads from Luna‘s hotel to Kate‘s house.” “Yes, sir.”

Joshua squinted after he hung up the phone. He was surprised Kate made the move first before he had the time to settle the score with her.

If Gwen remembered correctly, there was a huge possibility that Steven had brought Gwen to Kate‘s house. Then again, why would Gwen end up in the dump station? If Steven had entrusted Kate to look after Gwen, how did Kate let Gwen sleep in the dumpster?

Half an hour later, Joshua and Thomas had just gotten in Thomas‘s office when Lucas called. “Sir, I got the result.” Lucas‘ voice was trembling on the other side of the phone. “I think... I saw Mr. Jones in the surveillance footage!” Joshua was not surprised to hear how shocked Lucas was. “What was he doing?” Lucas paused.

“Sir, did you not hear what I just said? I said I saw Mr. Jones! Aren‘t you a little surprised? You , and I were the ones who pushed him into the operation theater, and we were also the ones who pushed him out! We saw his dead body! How could—” “I know,” Joshua cut off Lucas‘ astonished comment coldly. “Tell me: what did the man in the surveillance footage you saw do?”

After a moment of silence, Lucas inhaled deeply. “I saw Ms. Larson nearly get knocked over by Mr. Jones‘ car, and she started crying. Mr. Jones brought Gwen into his car and...the car headed toward Ms. Miller‘s house. After that, Ms. Miller let Mr. Jones into the house, but Ms. Miller‘s maid threw Ms. Larson into the dumpster. “Ms. Miller‘s maid even greeted the worker from the rubbish truck... That‘s why we found Ms. Larson in the dump station.”

“Okay.” Joshua squinted. It was as he thought. Most importantly, Kate was the first one to cross the line.

Chapter 2652

When Luna finished texting Joshua, Gwen and Yannie had just left the sauna. The three women continued to enjoy their time and talked until it was time for lunch. They had their meal provided by the resort in a buffet. Gwen and Luna did not prefer the lunch provided. After a discussion, they left the resort and were going to find a restaurant to have their lunch.

As they left the resort in their car, a black Pursche stopped at the entrance of the resort. The door opened, and Steven got down from the car elegantly. He walked to the other side of the car and opened the door. “Thank you for bringing me to enjoy the hot spring, darling.” Kate, getting out of the car, grabbed Steven‘s arm with a happy look on her face. She mentioned how she felt like going to a hot spring this morning during breakfast, and Steven remembered it. Now that he had finished with his work, he had brought her here to enjoy the hot spring. ‘He‘s so good to me. It just proves that I‘m in his heart!‘ Kate thought. “You don‘t have to thank me.” Steven smiled as they walked toward the resort. He crackled. “I remember you told me you feel like coming here today, and I‘m in a good mood today, so I thought I‘d come with you.” Kate smiled. “What made your day?” “I got the business.” Steven smiled and poked Kate‘s head. “Then, in celebration of you getting the business, it‘s on me today!” chirped Kate as she strode to the counter.

Steven curled his lips into a smile while he stood still, watching Kate. He then turned and sat on a sofa beside him. As he did, he saw a small pendant made out of an abalone shell on the sofa. It looked like it had fallen off a keychain. Surprised, Steven picked up the pendant to take a look. He felt like he saw the pendant somewhere before.

The drunk girl from the morning had her key fallen off once when he was carrying her, and her pendant looked just like this one.

He furrowed his brow and looked around him unconsciously. ‘Is she here too?‘ he thought. 1

“Steven.” At that time, Kate had finished with the registration. Seeing how Steven looked around while sitting on the sofa, she asked, “What‘s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Steven answered and put the pendant into his pocket. “It‘s done?”

Kate smiled sweetly and nodded. “Yes. Let‘s go in!”

She leaned her body and pressed her entire body onto Steven. “Is this the first time you brought me here for a hot spring?”

“Yes, as far as I recall.” Steven smiled and reached out his hand to caress Kate‘s head. “Oh, yes. What happened to the drunk woman I asked you to take care of this morning?”

It had been a busy morning for him, and he nearly forgot about that. Kate did not expect Steven would bring up this matter. She laughed without caring too much.” Oh, that drunk woman. I‘ve asked my maid to look after her after you brought her to my house. I went in to have a look, and she was so drunk and unconscious. So, I asked my maid to make her some hot soup and let her sleep in the house. Before we were here, my maid told me she had woken up and left the house.” She pretended to be jealous and looked at Steven. “Why do you care about her that much? Aren‘t you afraid that I‘d be jealous?“. Steven burst out in laughter. He raised his hand and rubbed her head lightly. “If I was afraid you‘d get jealous, I wouldn‘t have sent her to your house in the first place.” Kate pursed her lips. “That sounded right.”

At the restaurant, nearby The Spring Resort.

Chapter 2653

After they placed an order for their food, Luna and Yannie were swept away by their conversation before they noticed Gwen flipping everywhere as though searching for something “What‘s wrong?” Luna asked with a frown.

“I lost my pendant.” She placed her keychain on the table to show Luna that there was no pendant attached to it. “Luke bought it for me when we were sightseeing in a church in Merchant City. I don‘t know where I lost it.”

She flipped through every pocket on her clothes and dug into her bag once again, her eyebrows squeezed together. “I can‘t find it, I swear.” Luna did not have the appetite to eat anymore, looking at how anxious and panicked Gwen was. She knew how important the pendant was to Gwen because it was a gift from the deceased Luke, and it was thus an irreplaceable gift. Yannie also started to help Gwen search for it. The three women searched the entire restaurant, but they could not find it. At that time, their food was served. Gwen sighed. “Maybe it fell off in The Spring Resort. Before we left, I was playing with the pendant while we were sitting on the sofa in the lobby discussing where to eat. Maybe it fell off then.” She got on her feet. “Don‘t wait for me.” “I‘ll go with you.” Yannie quickly stood up when she saw Gwen stand up. “I have good eyesight. I can help you to look for it on the way back.” Gwen had really scared Yannie after she was found sleeping in the dumpster. It somewhat traumatized Yannie, so she was not about to let Gwen walk away by herself again. “Don‘t worry.” Gwen pursed her lip. “I didn‘t drink any alcohol, and I won‘t sleep in the dumpster again.” “We believe in you.” Luna pouted and put some food onto Gwen‘s plate. “Let‘s have some food in our system first, and then we‘ll go search together.” Gwen pursed her lips and hesitated. Finally, she sat down after looking at Luna and also Yannie, who looked very worried. Luna and Yannie had been by her side for the entire morning. From the looks of it, they were , scared she might run off like she did last night. If she decided to leave without eating, both of them would also do the same as she did.

After giving it a thought, she decided to stay and have her lunch first. She could only search for the pendant afterward. It was a precious pendant to Gwen, but it was not because it was expensive. The pendant was in fact bought in a small store in the tourist area. She believed no one would actually pick it up even if it fell on the sofa in the resort.

Nonetheless, the result was not what Gwen expected. After lunch, they searched all the way from the restaurant to the lobby of the resort. Alas, they

did not find it. After nearly an hour of searching, Gwen sat on the sofa in the lobby of the resort with disappointment. She looked at Yannie, who was squatting on the floor, trying to find the pendant. “You don‘t have to look anymore. Maybe...this is my fate.” Fate wanted her to lose Luke‘s gifts one by one, slowly diminishing his existence from her life in the process. Nonetheless, Luna did not believe in destiny nor was she about to give up. She went to the counter. “I‘d like to know if anyone else sat on the sofa after we left. We dropped something.” The front desk attendant felt sympathetic because she saw them searching for a long time. Thus, she checked the surveillance footage and looked at Luna while feeling troubled. “Someone did sit on the sofa after you left.”

Chapter 2654

Lupa furrowed her brow and leaned over to look at the surveillance footage. “Who sat there? How many people?” Although the front desk attendant broke the rules once to check the surveillance footage for Luna, she did not dare let Luna take a look at the surveillance footage.

She looked at the footage once again, raised her head, and smiled at Luna. “Miss, I understand you must be anxious to look for your lost item, but according to the rules, we‘re not allowed to reveal our customer‘s information to others.”

She looked at Luna seriously. “I have an idea. These two customers are in the hot spring right now. Why don‘t I go in and ask if they saw your lost item? Is that alright?”

Luna nodded. “Thank you very much.”

Frankly speaking, she preferred to ask herself since the front desk attendant had never seen Gwen‘s pendant. She was afraid the front desk attendant did not know how to describe it well. However, as the front desk attendant said, the rules of the resort prohibited it. The front desk attendant had been kind to her, and she did not want to cause trouble for her. The front desk attendant smiled when Luna agreed with the suggestion. She turned around and went inside. “Please excuse me.”

At that moment, Kate and Steven had finished freshening up. They were sitting together and resting in the resting room, having coffee Kate furrowed her brow when she heard a knock at the door. She stood up and opened the door. “What‘s the matter?”

The front desk attendant quickly told Kate what happened. “A customer came and said they lost something on the sofa in the lobby. You and your partner had sat there for a while, so I‘m wondering if both of you saw a pendant made out of an abalone shell?” A pendant? Kate furrowed her brow and looked at the front desk attendant annoyingly. “We didn‘t see any pendant.”

Kate then made a move to close the door when Steven, who overheard the conversation, stood up to stop Kate from closing the door. “Is she here looking for a pendant?”

Kate nodded and looked at Steven helplessly. “But we didn‘t see anything at all...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Steven took out a pendant made out of an abalone shell from his pocket. He walked over to the door and gave the pendant to the front desk attendant. “Is it this one?”

The front desk attendant had never seen the pendant before. However, it did look like the one Luna mentioned from the shape, color, and pattern mentioned. “I‘m not sure.” She smiled and accepted the pendant Steven passed over. “Why don‘t I bring it back to show them? If it‘s their lost pendant, I‘ll return it to them. If not, I‘ll bring it back for you.”

“There‘s no need to bring it back,” interjected Kate before Steven could answer.

She looked at the pendant in the front desk attendant‘s hand with contempt. It was just some cheap pendant that anyone could buy in the tourist area near the church in Merchant City. She saw it in Merchant City before.

Those pendants were just a gimmick the seller in the tourist area thought of. They would pursue tourists and say that these pendants could bring luck, peace, and help those who wear them to find the right person for their lives.

Kate saw it before. The first thought she had when she saw those pendants was that they were just some cheap things that people buy to make their kids happy. Nonetheless, Luke actually wanted to buy for Gwen when they were there. Yes, Luke, who had always been mature and despised those things, wanted to buy it for Gwen.

She looked at the pendant again as those thoughts surfaced in her mind. Perhaps the one person who would think this cheap pendant was precious and would search everywhere for it was Gwen, that idiot.

Chapter 2655

Kate‘s mood lifted when she thought of that idiot. When she was in Merchant City, Luke would solemnly tell her he had a girlfriend no matter when she tried to get close to Luke He wanted her to have respect for him and herself.

She looked at the man beside her.

The tides have turned. Gwen never thought she would lose her other half after the surgery, while Kate would soon be engaged to Steven and become Mrs. Hughes!

When she thought about how she would soon sleep in the same bed with Steven, waking up to see his handsome face every morning...she felt like her life was full of hope!

After the front desk attendant left, Steven paused and wanted to say something before noticing how happy Kate looked. Thus, he went back to sit on the chair and poured himself more coffee, asking, “What are you smiling about?”

“Nothing.” Kate regained her senses and looked at the handsome man behind her. “I was just thinking that the pendant looks so cheap; like it was bought from a souvenir shop. You could probably buy one with a few bucks. I don‘t understand why someone would treat it as a precious item and search for it everywhere when it‘s lost.”

She truly could not comprehend it.

Steven curled his lips into a smile. “Maybe the pendant is that important to them.”

He poured another glass of coffee for Kate and gave it to her. “Drink it while it‘s hot.” Kate was thrilled to see how thoughtful Steven was. She bit her lip and looked at him with gentle eyes. “Thank you.”

Although she replied with a simple ‘thank you‘, her heart was overwhelmed by Steven‘s gesture. ‘I made the right choice. If I wasn‘t decisive, how would I get myself a good man like Steven?‘

Steven, too, smiled happily when he saw how happy Kate was. He picked up his cup and took a sip. “Oh, right.” He cocked his head and looked at Kate. “I saw Joshua Lynch this morning.”

Joshua Lynch. He noticed Kate‘s back shivered when he mentioned that name. He furrowed his brow and asked tentatively, “Why are you so afraid to hear that name? Did you do any bad thing to him when you were in Merchant City?” Kate‘s face flushed white even more. She quickly drank the coffee to calm herself down. After a while, she looked up at Steven with a serious face.

“No. You know the reason I went to Merchant City was to look for medicine and doctors for you. How would a nobody like me be in contact with a bigshot like Joshua Lynch?”

For some reason, Steven felt like what Kate said made sense. He looked at Kate again suspiciously. “Are you sure you don‘t know Joshua Lynch?” Something was telling him Kate was hiding something from him.

“Since you saw Joshua Lynch this morning...” Kate was relieved when Steven stopped asking about her trip to Merchant City and thus tried to change the topic. “Did he have any special reaction when he saw you?”

Chapter 2656

“Special reaction?” Steven frowned and recalled the business meeting he had with Joshua. He then stared at Kate. “Nothing special, other than what you told me that he said I look like an old friend of his.”

Steven was still baffled by this when he recalled the moment. “Luckily, you told me Joshua Lynch likes to say that to pull the string, or I might‘ve believed him when he said that!” Kate narrowed her eyes. “So Joshua Lynch himself said you look like his old friend?” “Yes.” Steven paused while feeling lucky. “But, I didn‘t fall for it. I told him that I don‘t like to pull any strings when I‘m talking about business.” Kate was surprised, and her eyes could not hide how happy she was. “What then?” “Well, he never talked about his friend anymore, and we started with the negotiation.” Later, he could not help but sighed. “I know people tend to butter up to people while doing business, but I never expect Joshua Lynch to do something like this when he is already such a successful businessman.”

Kate clenched her hand into a fist and used it to cover her mouth as she coughed. “It‘s... normal, I guess. No one would think they have enough money.” Steven paused and nodded as he finally understood. “You‘re right.”

Kate frowned unnoticeably when she saw how naive and pure Steven looked. He had been lying on the bed for more than five years after he became a vegetative person. Due to that, there was a big difference between his appearance and his mind. He looked like a mature man with a mature voice, but the way he spoke sounded like a teenager.

She sighed as she thought about it, finding herself oddly missing Luke. Although Luke had always treated her coldly, he was mature and proud.

What a shame he could never return.

The front desk attendant placed the pendant on Luna‘s hand and asked, “Ms. Luna, is this the one?”

“Yes! This is the one!”

Gwen, who had given up hope, erratically dashed over when she saw the pendant. She grabbed the pendant and held it dearly in her hand. She had lost hope of getting the pendant back, yet they found it!

Did that mean...her destiny with Luke had not reached its end? “Ms. Larson...” The front desk attendant did not know Gwen would dash over and was shocked by it. After a while, she smiled at Gwen. “I‘m happy it‘s your lost pendant.” After that, she smiled and greeted Luna before heading back to the front desk. “Wait.” As the front desk attendant took a few steps, Gwen furrowed her brow. “Where did you find this?”

‘Something is missing on the pendant.’ Gwen thought.

The front desk attendant stopped and turned to face Gwen, who was at the back, while keeping a smile on her face. “Is there anything else I can help you with, Ms. Larson?”

Gwen pointed at the empty space on the pendant. “There should be a small metal plate here with the words, ‘Joined As One Heart,‘ but it‘s gone.”

The front desk attendant was stunned. “But I didn‘t see this metal plate when I found the pendant.”

Chapter 2657

“Did you remember it wrongly?” Gwen shook her head. She had the pendant with her for a long time, and she could not possibly misremember a detail. Besides, if someone had picked up the pendant, the metal plate was most likely with the person who found the pendant, too.

Luna and Yannie had searched the sofa countless times. If it fell here, it should have been found earlier on.

The front desk attendant furrowed her brow. “But Ms. Larson, we‘re prohibited from revealing our customer information...”

Before she could finish, Gwen took out a pile of cash and shoved it into the front desk attendant‘s hand. “Can you tell me now?” The front desk attendant was shocked to see the cash in her hands. It was almost the amount of salary she could get after working for several years! She bit her lip and looked at Gwen. “They‘re...in the third room on the right when you walk upstairs.”

The front desk attendant stared at the money in her hand and mumbled, “If you go, please don‘t tell them I was the one who told you...”

“Don‘t worry!” she assured the front desk attendant and headed upstairs.

Luna furrowed her brow and quickly followed behind Gwen with Yannie. She was afraid Gwen might do something. Soon, Gwen reached the third room on the right on the second floor. She took a deep breath and tried to adjust her breathing, then sported a bright smile that could put people at ease. Finally, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

In the room…

Kate, drinking her coffee, furrowed her brow in frustration. ‘Why do people keep coming and knocking? Didn‘t the front desk attendant just leave? Did someone lose something and thought we took it again?‘ She was really annoyed when she opened the door. “What‘s the matter now?”

When there was a sound coming from the door, Gwen lowered her head and took a deep breath. Then, she cocked her head and looked at the person in front of her with a smile. ” Hello, Miss. Good day to you. I just want to ask the pendant...

“Kate?”

Gwen did not finish her sentence when she finally saw the person standing in front of her. She squeezed her brow tightly together.

‘Why is Kate here? Is she the one who found my pendant?‘ she thought.

“Gwen?” Kate, too, was surprised. ‘Why is Gwen here? And why is she knocking on the door?‘

Suddenly, she remembered the pendant the front desk attendant was asking about. Her face

turned pale and unconsciously took a step back. ‘So the pendant Steven took was Gwen‘s!‘ That explained why she thought the pendant looked very familiar. The pendant was Gwen‘s after all!

“Gwen!”

At that time, Luna and Yannie reached the second floor. Luna quickly walked over to explain when she saw Gwen standing in front of an opened door. “Hi, I‘m sorry if my friend offended you. If she did something she shouldn‘t, I‘m willing...” Luna was willing to apologize on Gwen‘s behalf if she had hurt anyone or made anyone angry. Before Luna could finish her sentence, however, she saw Kate‘s cold eyes. She furrowed her brow. “Kate? Why are you here?”

Chapter 2658

Kate‘s eyebrows knitted together when she saw Gwen and Luna standing outside of her resting room. One would always meet the person they least expect to when they did not want to meet!

This explained why the pendant Steven found looked so familiar. It was the one Luke bought for Gwen!

Kate‘s expression soured. She preferred not to let Steven have any contact with Gwen. Nonetheless, God did not seem to be on her side and tried to create such a connection between Gwen and Luke.

Luckily, she had Steven buy her favorite coffee two minutes ago. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable if Gwen and Luna saw Steven when they came into the room...

She took a deep breath and looked at Luna. “Hey, Luna. Long time no see.”

Luna was not in the mood to rekindle her ‘friendship‘ with Kate. She glanced at Kate with narrowed eyes. “Were you the one who found Gwen‘s pendant?”

Kate did not expect Luna to be so direct and impolite to her. She was stunned and later laughed. “Yes, I did.”

Then, she curled up her lips and looked at Gwen. “It looked very familiar to me when I found it. I mean, it is a common item you can find in a church‘s souvenir shop. I thought it was quite nice to see this here, so I picked it up.”

She looked at Gwen as though happy to find Gwen‘s item. “What a coincidence that it‘s yours.” Gwen pursed her lips and was not in the mood to chit–chat with Kate. She raised her head and looked at Kate while showing the pendant to her.

“Luke gave this pendant to me.” She pointed at the middle part where there was a part of it missing. “Look here. There‘s supposed to be a metal plate engraved with the words, ‘Joined As

One Heart‘. Did you see the metal plate when you found the pendant?”

Kate was stunned. She looked at the pendant and noticed that it did seem to be missing something. Steven was the one who found the pendant, so Kate did not know if the metal plate was there when he found it. Despite that, she did not have the intention to tell Gwen about Steven. It was better to have the least connection and interaction between Steven and Gwen.

She curled up her lips into a smile. “No, I didn‘t see the metal plate you said when I found it.”

She put on a worried face when she looked at Gwen. “Did it fall somewhere else? I found this pendant when I was sitting on the sofa in the lobby. Did you search carefully? Maybe the metal plate got separated when the pendant fell off from you.”

The light in Gwen‘s eyes slowly disappeared after hearing what Kate said. She had searched high and low over at the area near the sofa. If the metal plate fell off in the lobby, it was impossible that she could not find it. Moreover, Kate had mentioned the metal plate was already gone when she found the pendant.

Could it be…

Gwen bit her lip. Could the metal plate have fallen at the dump station? The thought entered

her mind. She quickly turned around and wanted to leave the resort.

“Gwen!” Yannie bit her lip and chased after Gwen when she saw Gwen running away. “Where are you going?”

Luna frowned and looked at the woman in front of her. “You better be telling the truth, Kate.”

Finally, she turned and chased after Gwen. Kate squinted as she watched Luna leave.

Chapter 2659 Kate‘s instinct told her Luna and Joshua could ruin the plan she had. If Gwen was alone in Saigen City, she would not be worried much. Now that Joshua and Luna were here too...she had no way of guaranteeing that Steven and Gwen would not meet!

Gwen would go mad if she saw Steven. Not only was she going to suffer, but Steven would also start to be suspicious of his life too.

As she thought more of it, Kate took a deep breath. She took out her phone and dialed a number.

“Mrs. Hughes, is Mr. Hughes at home? Oh, nothing much. Steven told me you guys are asking me to get married soon...so I was going to ask what you thought about that.”

“Me? Of course, the sooner the better.”

When Gwen left The Spring Resort, she hailed a taxi. Luna and Yannie ran after her and got into the taxi with Gwen.

“Hi, ladies. Where are you off to today?” the driver asked with a smile.

Gwen took a deep breath. “The dump station at the outskirts of the city.”

The air in the car became still. Even the driver was shocked.

“You...want to go to the dump station?” The driver was puzzled with the question in his mind, ‘Did these girls, who just came out from The Spring Resort, just say they want to go to the dump station?‘ “Yes.” Gwen bit her lip and said with determination, “I‘m not going to give up. I must find it today.”

Gwen would not be this trouble had it been anything else, but she could not afford to lose the metal plate on the pendant Luke gave her. The metal plate was engraved with the words, Joined As One Heart‘.

Until now, Gwen could remember what Luke looked like when he gave the pendant to her. He was smiling very brightly that day. He pointed at the words and said, “Joined As One Heart. It means you and I have the same heart.”

At that time, Gwen did not know about her illness nor Luke was about to donate his heart to her. She thought Luke was just saying nonsense and thus said, “What do you mean, using the

same heart? Are we going to share one body next, too?”

Luke hugged her and kissed her forehead. “It‘s a good idea. That way, I can be with you no matter where you go in the future...”

Gwen‘s tears could not stop falling down when she thought of the past.

‘Joined As One Heart.‘

If she had known the underlying meaning Luke had, could she have stopped Luke from dying? She would not need to bear Luke‘s heart in her chest and live meaninglessly and alone.

She submerged herself in sadness and did not notice that when the taxi took off, another taxi came in from the opposite direction. Steven was in the taxi with two cups of coffee. When the two taxis passed by each other, Steven suddenly looked into the other taxi and thus saw Gwen‘s beautiful side profile and tears streaming down her face. At this sight, his heart felt inexplicably hurt. He furrowed his brow and looked at the taxi from the rearview mirror. ‘Was she crying? Why did she cry?‘ he thought and sighed. He reached his hand into his pocket and wanted to take out his phone to look at Gwen‘s social media account. The moment he reached into his pocket, he could feel something flat and metallic. Fishing out the suspicious item, he then had a look. It was a metal plate engraved with the words, ‘Joined As One Heart.‘

Chapter 2660 At the dump station in the outskirts of Saigen City. Once the driver stopped the car, Gwen dashed out of the car and headed straight into the dump station, swiftly followed by Yannie and Luna, who paid the driver the taxi fare before disembarking

When Luna got out of the taxi, she was stunned to see the mountains of rubbish in front of her. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

‘Oh my god! How are we going to look for that tiny metal plate in these heaps of rubbish? It’s as hard as looking for a needle in the ocean!‘

Nonetheless, Gwen could not care about anything and rushed toward these heaps like a madwoman. She did not care that she had just enjoyed her time at the hot spring or the smell or how dirty the rubbish was. She just rushed into the rubbish with her white–colored clothes.

The temperature in Saigen City was very low. Soon, her hands got frostbitten, but she still continued on searching for the metal plate Luke gave her with her bare hands.

Luna felt heartbroken to see how frantic Gwen was and felt her eyes stinging with tears. She walked toward Gwen and hugged Gwen tightly. “You can‘t find it anymore. Stop it! Gwen, please wake up! Luke isn‘t going to come back, even if you find the metal plate. He‘s not going to come back! He‘s not going to come back any more! Please wake up!” Gwen bit her lip tightly. She forced back her tears and tried to break free from Luna‘s hold. “I know he‘s not coming back ever! Because of that, I have to keep his gift safe!”

She sniffled. “Luna, don‘t stop me. I want to search for it.”

“Gwen!” Yannie hurried over to help Luna by pulling Gwen‘s clothes when she saw how Luna could not handle Gwen by herself.

“Stop it! If you want that metal plate, I can go buy a new one for you when we go back together, okay? There are many of them. You don‘t have to be like this!”

Gwen bit her lip as Luna and Yannie restrained her. Her eyes were still stubbornly looking at the mountain of rubbish. “Yes. I know there are dozens of places that sell that, but none of it was the one Luke gave me. I just want the one Luke gave me.”

She looked back with tears in her eyes. “I just want the one Luke gave me! I...”

Her voice cracked as she added, “Luke is no longer with us, and he‘d be mad if I lost the things he gave me. If he‘s angry with me...”

She wiped the tears off her eyes. “Does that mean I won‘t see him in the next life?”

“No!” Luna and Yannie could not stop their tears from falling. They hugged Gwen and cried together. “I know Luke would still want to see you again in the next life. You lost it by accident after all, and I‘m sure he won‘t blame you! Please, don‘t make it hard for yourself. Please!”

Luna‘s words were not enough to sway Gwen from her quest. She still acted like a mad person, running toward the rubbish. Luna wanted to stop her again, but Yannie let go of her hands silently.

After Yannie let go of her hands, Luna was not strong enough to stop Gwen. She struggled off

and ran toward the rubbish again. Luna looked at Yannie angrily as if she was scolding Yannie for letting go of her hands.

Yannie took a deep breath and took out her phone to show Luna. “Is this the design of the metal plate Gwen lost?”

Luna furrowed her brow and looked.

There were many photos that Yannie sea
