Ch. 2671..2680

Chapter 2671

She had spent the entire afternoon clutching the metal plate in her hands, staring at it. The Spring Resort began to get busy toward the evening, and eventually, Gwen‘s alone time was disrupted, so she had no choice but to leave.

As she walked along the road and the wind swept past her, she could not help being reminded of Luke. Not only that, but she could not help recalling all the people who had helped her look for her pendant. Luna, Yannie, Thomas...

All of them cared about her. Gwen closed her eyes, and a weak smile crept to her face as she trudged through the snow. She knew she had been troubling everyone around her since Luke‘s death. She was the reason Luke was dead, and therefore, she was the only one who deserved the bad things. However, she had been troubling people left and right since waking up from her surgery.

Not only Luna and Joshua, but Bonnie, Jim, Yannie, and Thomas too.

When she saw how Lucas and his men fervently rummaged through the piles of garbage in search of her pendant, Gwen finally realized just how selfish she had been.

She had caused everyone so much trouble because of her grief. If it were not for her, Luna would probably be at home with the three children at this moment or perhaps continuing her search for her lost daughter.

Just for her, Luna was forced to accompany her in this cold, desolate place while she grieved her loss.

Gwen could not stop her tears from falling at the thought of this. She lifted her head to gaze at the night sky as silent tears slid down her cheeks.

‘Luke. I‘m sorry, but this is the furthest I can go. I can‘t continue being like this any longer.

‘I can‘t become other people‘s burden, but neither can I stop missing you. I guess the only solution...is to go find you.‘ At the thought of this, Gwen could not help letting out a bitter chuckle. The truth was, she had yet to visit Luke‘s grave since his death. Perhaps she should visit his grave and seek forgiveness before joining him. Otherwise, she was worried that he would be so outraged at her that he would refuse to see her in the next life.

After contemplating for a while, Gwen hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel.

Inside the hotel room, Luna paced the room nervously as she dialed Gwen‘s number over and over. Every call was met with the operator‘s cold, robotic voice, declaring that the number was

unavailable.

All of a sudden, the door creaked open.

Luna quickly turned around. Gwen was standing behind her in a white parka, grinning at her. “Are you trying to call me? Sorry. My phone ran out of battery.”

“I was worried sick!” Luna bit her lip, shot Gwen a murderous look, and finally leaped toward Gwen to pull her into a hug. “I thought something terrible happened to you!”

“What could‘ve happened?” Gwen smiled, clutching Luna warmly, as a wave of sadness swept through her.

She...had troubled Luna so much more than she had imagined. “Lulu,” Gwen said as she buried her head in Luna‘s arms. “I want to go home.”

Chapter 2672

Luna could not believe her ears. She froze for a moment, then pried Gwen out of her embrace to stare at her earnestly. “GO home? Where?” “Sea City.” Gwen gave her a wry smile and said, “I want to return to Merchant City to retrieve Luke‘s ashes...then go home to Sea City together. My father is still waiting for us back home.”

She curled her lips into a soft smile and added, “I‘ve been thinking the whole day, and I‘ve come to the conclusion that no matter where I am, I‘ll still be missing Luke, so it doesn‘t matter where I go with you.

“Therefore, I decided, we might as well return to the place where everything began.”

Gwen‘s gaze faltered as she stared at Luna, as though her gaze had penetrated right through the room to somewhere far, far away. “The house that Luke bought for us is still in Sea City, and it‘s the place where we shared most of our memories.”

She smiled at Luna. “I‘ve realized that what‘s missing in my life is not the time or freedom to do what I want, but the freedom to do all this with Luke.

“Even though he‘s no longer here, I still have his heart with me, and it would be as though he‘s right here by my side. Therefore, I want to return to the place we call home and spend the rest of our days together in peace.“.

Luna opened her mouth in preparation to say something, but no words seemed to come out. Finally, she sighed and gently wrapped her arms around Gwen once more. “If that‘s really what you want...I‘ll ask Lucas to help book the flight tickets right now.

“I‘ll return to Merchant City with you, and we‘ll bring Luke‘s ashes back to Sea City together. Is that alright?”

Gwen nodded. She and Luna had been friends for so long that she was certain Luna would support her decision.

However, the kinder Luna was toward her, the more guilt–ridden she felt. She had caused Luna enough trouble. If she had realized this truth sooner, she would not have wasted so much of Luna and Joshua‘s time.

Luna and Joshua had their responsibilities to deal with, but because of her, they were forced to put their work aside and take up responsibility for her... At the thought of this, Gwen pulled Luna close to her and murmured, “I want to thank you and Joshua for all your help, and also...” She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. “I‘m sorry I caused you so much trouble.”

Luna‘s chest tightened upon hearing this. She bit her lip and shot Gwen an accusatory look” What‘re you saying all this for? I thought we were best friends!” Gwen chuckled at this, and after exchanging some conversation, she finally returned to her

room.

Standing outside Gwen‘s door, Luna heaved a sigh of relief when she finally heard Gwen fall into a deep slumber. Then, she returned to her room, closed the door, and dialed Joshua‘s number.

Due to what happened the night before, Luna no longer dared to leave Gwen alone in the room after falling asleep, so the only thing she could do was call Joshua instead. “Gwen wants to go home.” Luna relayed everything Gwen had told her to Joshua. Joshua paused for a moment before finally saying with a hint of helplessness, “And you agreed to that?” “Yes.” Luna sniffed. “You saw just how much she loves and is unwilling to forget Luke, so much so that she was willing to go to great lengths to retrieve a pendant Luke gave her...”

Chapter 2673

“I brought her out on this trip in hopes that she‘ll eventually stop missing Luke, but I realize that that‘s impossible. “If I continue making her stay in these foreign places, I‘m sure that something similar to last night and today will happen again. “This time, it happened while we‘re here in Saigen City, where both you and Thomas are capable of helping us, but what if it happens again somewhere else, where neither of you can help?”

Luna rubbed her brow in exhaustion. “Therefore, I‘ve decided we‘ll be better off letting Gwen go home. If she returns to Sea City with Luke‘s ashes, it‘ll perhaps make her feel better to be in an environment where she knows she‘s safe.”

Joshua could not help sighing when he heard this, “Lulu.” Luna was a little caught off guard by this, “What is it?” “You‘re becoming more and more mature by the day.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile.” You‘re so considerate toward other people‘s feelings that I can‘t help thinking I’m no longer good enough for you.”

After all, he failed to consider all this, and he would not have thought of everything this way if Luna had not brought it up. Luna blushed when she heard this. She bit her lip and replied, “What‘re you talking about...”

If Joshua was not good enough for her, no one was.

“I think letting Gwen return to Sea City is an excellent idea, but...” Joshua paused and said solemnly, “I don‘t think now is the right time. Why don‘t you and Gwen remain here in Saigen City for a while longer, and as soon as I finish my work here with Thomas in two weeks, we‘ll all go home together?”

He had given the Miller family a deadline of two weeks to fix Luke. Joshua did not know whether the Miller family was truly capable of achieving this, but...what if they could?

“Two days is fine, but two weeks...is a little too much to ask.” Luna could not understand why Joshua had made this request. “I don‘t think Gwen will be willing to wait so long. Besides, you‘re here for work, and there‘s no guarantee that you‘ll be able to settle everything in two weeks, so I don‘t think it‘d be wise to wait.”

Joshua was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. “You‘re right.”

After all, he could always bring Luke home to Sea City if Luke were to return. Luna could not help furrowing her brow when she sensed this. “Joshua, are you hiding something from me?”

Why was he behaving so strangely?

“I guess you can say that.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile, walked onto the balcony, and gazed out at the blinking lights of the night scenery. He replied lazily, “But now‘s not the time

to reveal anything to you yet. It‘s all trade secrets.” Luna rolled her eyes at him. “You don‘t have to tell me anything about your work.” She knew nothing about his work at all apart from jewelry design, and she did not need him to tell her anything. “I know.” joshua was silent for a long time before slowly asking, “Do you think there‘s a possibility that Luke might still be alive?”

Chapter 2674

Luna fell silent after hearing this. A split second later, she could not help sighing. “What on earth are you talking about, Joshua? “Gwen hasn‘t even claimed that Luke is still alive; the only thing she ever mentioned was dreaming of him. Why would you, out of all people, think he is?

“Besides, weren‘t you the one who brought Luke‘s body out of the operation theater with my brother and buried him? You said that his body was already charred...so how can he possibly still be alive?”

Joshua closed his eyes as a bitter smile crept across his face.

Luna was right...

He and Jim were the ones to bring Luke‘s body away.

However, at that time, they were both so overcome by their grief that they could not bear to even lay a second glance at Luke‘s body.

Not only that, but they had no idea that Luke even had a twin brother, so none of them ever suspected any foul play at all. Luna realized that she had come off a little harsh when met with Joshua‘s silence. She bit her lip nervously and said, “Joshua, I wasn‘t trying to be mean. All I wanted to say is...it‘s time to face the truth.

“Luke‘s no longer here, and there aren‘t many miracles in real life. I know that you and Luke were close, and I‘m also upset by his passing, but...since even Gwen has begun to move on, you should, too.

“Life has to go on.” Joshua could not help letting out a self–deprecating chuckle.

Luna was right; all this sounded like something a crazed man who missed his best friend too much would say.

He was the one who had told everyone of Luke‘s death in the first place, but at this moment, he was claiming that Luke was still alive. Anyone would think he had lost his mind!

If he had not met Steven in person, if he had not remembered the scar on Luke‘s brow bone, if the Miller family had not admitted to their crime...

Even Joshua himself would never buy such a story, A split second later, Joshua sighed and changed the subject. “When are you and Gwen planning to leave?”

“As soon as we can.” Luna leaned against the window frame, stared out at the night sky beyond, and said with a hint of exhaustion, “According to Gwen‘s plan, we‘ll be going to Merchant City to visit Luke‘s grave first before returning to Sea City with his ashes. “If all goes well, we‘ll be able to arrive in Sea City in three days... Besides, I don‘t feel like wasting our time in Saigen City any longer.”

Luna sighed and rubbed her brow in frustration. “I don‘t want all this to happen a second time.

Whether it was Gwen getting drunk and sneaking into the dump station or her subsequently losing the pendant, Luna did not want any of these events to happen again. She felt tertible for Gwen.

“Alright.” Joshua closed his eyes. “I‘ll ask Lucas to prepare your flight tickets. How does tomorrow afternoon sound?” “Perfect.” Luna pursed her lips. “Thank you for your trouble.” Joshua had come to Saigen City for business.

Chapter 2675

He was here to help Thomas fight for his inheritance and retrieve evidence of his mother‘s murder.

However, because of Luna, he wasted much of his precious time.

Even though they had been married for years, Luna still could not help feeling guilty for this.

Joshua chuckled upon hearing this. “It‘s not trouble at all when it comes to you.”

Even after their many years of marriage–they already had four kids together, for God‘s sake – Luna still could not help blushing every time Joshua said something sweet to her like this.

The two of them chatted for a little while longer before finally hanging up the phone.

The moment Luna got off the call with Joshua, she also received a message from Lucas about the flight details

Lucas had been working for Joshua for so many years that he had picked up some of Joshua‘s thoughtfulness.

He had deliberately booked a flight in the afternoon that allowed Luna and Gwen sufficient time to get ready and have lunch before departing. The next morning, Luna woke up at the crack of dawn. She thought she was an early riser, but to her surprise, the moment she stepped out of her room, she caught sight of Gwen sitting at the dining table, beaming, having finished preparing their breakfast.

When she saw Luna coming out of her room, Gwen smiled, stood up, and said softly, “It‘s been a while since I last cooked for you.”

After Luna gave birth to her second daughter, Gwen had spent an entire month taking care of Luna, and during that time, Luna was constantly blessed with Gwen‘s cooking.

This was already months ago.

“I haven‘t cooked in a while now, and I‘m not sure whether I‘ve lost my touch. I hope you don‘t mind,” Gwen said as she ladled some food onto a plate for Luna.

Luna‘s chest tightened when she saw the forced smile on Gwen‘s face.

She knew that Gwen was just putting on a solid front so she would not worry. After all, if the same thing were to happen to her, she would not want Gwen to worry, either.

However, Luna did not expose Gwen. Instead, she plopped down in a chair, picked up her utensils, and began eating as she told Gwen of the flight tickets Lucas had booked for them. Gwen let out a sigh of relief. “That‘s great. I...can finally go home to see Luke.” She curled her lips into a bitter smile. “I can‘t believe that Luke‘s already been gone for so long now...yet I have never once visited his grave...” With that, she lowered her head to stop the tears from falling, but Luna could still hear her voice growing more and more choked. “I don‘t know how well he‘s doing up there and whether he‘s still mad at me...”

Chapter 36 “S

Luna opened her mouth, intending to say something comforting, but no words seemed to come out. After breakfast, Luna and Gwen began to pack their bags. They did not bring much at all, and most of it were just souvenirs from Saigen City for their families.

After lunch, the two of them traveled to the airport.

Sitting in the airport departure lounge, a wave of sadness crept into Gwen‘s heart as she watched the people brush past. She was the one who had wanted to cut this trip short, but for some reason, just as they were about to leave, she could not help feeling that she still had unfinished business here...

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not seem to recall what it was.

At the same time, a black Masevati pulled up at the airport entrance.

Steven, who was wearing a black suit, got out of the car and barked into the phone as he strode into the airport, “Are you sure that Dr. Liddell is arriving in half an hour?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2676 by desirenovel

Chapter 2676 “Yes, Sir,” replied Steven Hughes‘ assistant on the other end of the line, nodding. “Dr. Liddell is very interested in your case after she studied your case. She‘s flying over here this morning from Merchant City. Based on the duration of the flight, she should arrive half an hour later.”

After that, the assistant reminded Steven again, “Sir, are you sure you won‘t be telling Ms. Miller about this? Her family and she had been responsible for your health when you were unconscious. They even bought several medical institutions because of you… I think it‘s not that nice if you don‘t tell them that you‘re looking for a doctor.” Steven furrowed his brow and scoffed, “Are you Kate‘s assistant, or mine?”

The assistant paused and did not answer the question.

“Don‘t you dare tell Kate or her family about this. I‘ll make sure you regret it if you do!” Steven hung up the phone and walked to the main hall of the airport.

Lately, Steven felt like he was unhinged, having suffered severe headaches over time as if his head was about to be blown off. During his sleep, he would have some outrageous dreams. Sometimes, he dreamed of being a gang leader, ordering his subordinates as he smoked. Sometimes, he was a patient who laid in bed as he waited for someone to take away his heart.

Most of the time, he dreamed that a woman would be screaming his name hysterically in the darkness...but she did not call out his name. He could not remember what the name was. Every time, however, he would wake up with a head full of sweat when he heard the sadness and desperation of that woman in his dream. He had told Kate about his nightmares before, but she would tell him that it meant nothing. The nightmares were probably due to his tense mental and anxiety, and all he needed was to take some sedatives to reduce his tension and anxiety.

Thus, he took many, as Kate had suggested, but these nightmares still came to haunt him in his sleep. He also went to different hospitals seeking help from many psychologists, but none of them were able to explain his condition.

Over time, he felt like something must have happened while he was in his coma. Although it was normal to have nightmares, it was far too odd to have repetitive ones.

Afterward, a doctor recommended Dr. Liddell to him. The doctor said Dr. Liddell was one of the professionals in studying patients in the vegetative stage. Thus, he tried to send his medical profile to Dr. Liddell last night.

Everyone had been telling him it was difficult to make an appointment with Dr. Liddell as she was a busy person, but who would have thought she would contact Steven‘s assistant

personally after viewing his information and medical profile? She said she was interested in his case and requested to fly over to diagnose his condition. Steven took a deep breath and entered the airport. He genuinely hoped Dr. Liddell could give him the answers he wanted.

He wanted to know what had happened to him during the five years he was practically unconscious.

Why was he experiencing random headaches? Why did he have the same nightmare over and

over again? Why did he have no feelings for his fiancee but kept on reminiscing about a woman he did not know?

After he entered the main hall of the airport, he saw a woman sitting on her baggage while waiting to pass the security checkpoint from far away. Unlike those people rushing around her, she looked pale and emaciated. She was spacing out as she looked at the crowd around her. Her eyes looked dull as if there was no soul in her body.

Steven trembled when he saw her. ‘Is she...leaving already?‘ He remembered she arrived in Saigen City just a few days ago. Why was she leaving so soon?

A voice appeared in his mind, telling him to approach her and bid her farewell. As such, he followed the instruction from the voice in his brain and headed toward the woman.

Chapter 2677 However, Steven stopped after taking a few steps. They did not know each other and were strangers to each other. Even when he thought he had crossed paths several times with her, there was a high possibility she did not notice him at all. He thought from her perspective and realized it was quite absurd for him to walk up to her and bid her goodbye

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Kate.

He furrowed his brow as he stared at the caller‘s name on his screen before he made his way to the washroom at the side. The main hall of the airport was too noisy, and he was afraid Kate would suspect something.

After Steven walked away, Gwen finally noticed him. “That person looks like Luke. His height, body, and even the way he walked,‘ she thought.

Back in the past, she would have ran right up when she saw someone looking similar to Luke, but at this moment...she finally accepted the fact that he was no longer in this world. She also made it clear that no matter how similar Luke and the other person were, they would never be the man she loved.

She only paid attention to Luke in the past, so she did not know there were so many people who looked similar to him in this world–namely Kate‘s boyfriend and the man she just saw. She already saw two people looking like him in this small city.

Her lips curled into a small smile as she looked at Luna, who was on her phone, far away from her.

Originally, Luna was queueing up at the counter to proceed with the check–in procedure with Gwen. When it was their turn, Luna‘s phone rang! It was Theo. They had not talked for a long time.

“Why are you calling me all of a sudden?” Luna answered the call while checking in at the counter. “How are you and Rachel doing?”

She remembered the last time she contacted Theo was because of Rachel.

Theo paused for a while before talking as he heard Luna mention Rachel‘s name. “Luna, your family told me you are in Saigen City.”

Luna nodded. “Yes, I‘m in Saigen City now.”

“Rachel, she...” Theo paused. “She is also flying there now. I think she is going to land half an hour later.”

Luna furrowed her brow and looked at her boarding ticket. Her flight was less than an hour from now. Half an hour later, she would be on the plane waiting for the plane to take off.

“Why is she coming to Saigen City?” she furrowed her brow and talked while looking for Gwen.

“She said she received a very interesting medical record from a patient, so she decided to go and visit in person.”

Theo fell into momentary silence before he added, “I think it‘s better that you know about this.”

He took a deep breath and said with a serious tone. “I saw the information of that patient. His name is Steven Hughes, but... I saw his photo. He is Luke. He looks identical to him. Have you seen...this person while you are there?”

The hand Luna used to hold her phone trembled. ‘Steven Hughes? Isn‘t he Kate‘s fiance?‘

Chapter 2678 “I didn‘t know about this before. I’ve been looking for Rachel, and because Caleb couldn‘t stand me, he told me Rachel is on her way to Saigen City because she found an interesting case. He even showed me the patient detail Rachel received in her email. I opened it and took a look.

“That‘s...when I saw Luke‘s photo,” explained Theo.

He paused for a while before asking, “So, are you and Gwen still in Saigen City?”

Luna bit her lip. She felt like something had hit her heart while her brain was in a mess. She turned and stared at Gwen, who was a safe distance from her.

Gwen was still sitting on the luggage with a dumbfounded look, her gaze wandering aimlessly around the airport

It broke Luna‘s heart to see how dull Gwen looked. She bit her lip and said with a small voice,” Theo, are you sure? You know you shouldn‘t joke about this.”

Luna knew Steven Hughes was Kate‘s fiance. The doctors from the Miller family‘s medical organization were the ones who did Luke‘s surgery. If Steven and he looked the same...

Luna‘s hands trembled. She did not know what would transpire if Gwen found out.

“Luna, when did I ever make jokes with you?” Theo took a deep breath on the other side. “I‘m in the airport now. I‘m going to fly over to Saigen City to look for Rachel, as well as you and Gwen. If you don‘t believe me, I can send you Steven Hughes‘ information now!” After that, he hung up the phone. Just as the phone was cut off, there was a notification alert sound coming from Luna‘s phone.

She furrowed her brow and looked at her phone, noticing it was an email from Theo.

She furrowed her brow and opened the email. The first thing she saw..was Steven Hughes‘ photo.

Her blood boiled when she saw his photo. She bit her lip and stared at the photo, her heart beating rapidly as she did.

une

Theo was right; Steven Hughes did look identical to Luke! Even the scar on his head was the same. He got the scar when he was saving Luna in Sea City.

Who else could that man be if he was not Luke?

Yes, she believed there were lookalikes in the world, but she did not believe people who looked alike could have the same scar on their faces too!

She bit her lip and looked at Gwen before she continued to read the information in the email.

The email was sent by Steven to Rachel. He complained and explained how he was suffering from nightmares. The nightmares he had were identical, but the content of the nightmare was not what he had experienced before. In addition, he suffered from severe headaches so painful that he felt like his head could explode.

The email went on with how he had consulted many doctors but none could explain to him why he was experiencing those symptoms. Thus, he sought help from Rachel who was an

expert in studying patients who were once in a vegetative state. He hoped to get an answer from her.

Luna felt like her heart was about to hop out from her chest as she read the email.

Steven‘s fiancee, Kate was from a family who specialized in medical research and study.

The reason why Luke contacted the Miller family was that he knew they owned the best medical organizations with the best skills and resources. He was hoping they could save Gwen.

Why, then, did Steven not seek help from the Miller family after he suffered such symptoms? Why did he seek consults elsewhere? Why did he seek help from Rachel?

There could only be two possible answers. Either Steven did not trust the Miller family...or the Miller family was unwilling to help Steven.

Chapter 2679 As Luna thought of those possibilities, her heart thumped vehemently in her chest. Could Steven be Luke? This was the only explanation for why he was suffering from symptoms similar to a patient with amnesia. Luna‘s mother, Rosalyn, was in a vegetative state for a year too, but she did not experience the symptoms Steven described.

Luna‘s hands trembled.

“Why was Theo looking for you?” Just then, she heard Gwen‘s voice.

Luna paused and quickly put away her phone. She looked at Gwen with a smile. “Nothing; he‘s just asking if I‘m still in Saigen City. He said Rachel will arrive half an hour later, and he‘ll arrive around the evening. He was asking if we‘re free to have dinner with him.”

Gwen chuckled at this, feeling sentimental at the thought. “Why did you think Theo tried to mess up his relationship with Rachel in the past? Look at him now. Rachel is now Caleb‘s fiance, and now she‘s not bringing him anywhere she does.”

She curled up her lips and looked at her watch. “It‘s almost time. We should pass the security checkpoint now. There are two bottles of water in my bag. I‘m going to give it to the cleaner over there.”

Luna nodded. “Alright.”

Gwen nodded and left.

Luna looked at Gwen‘s back and quickly took out her phone to continue reading Steven‘s information.

Her heart was a mess. She could not decide if she should tell Gwen about this and was unsure if she should leave Saigen City with Gwen at this moment.

In the meantime, Steven had finally comforted Kate and persuaded her that he was studying in the library. Once he hung up the phone, he left the washroom.

As he left the washroom, he saw the woman in her fluffy down jacket with a fur collar standing not far from the washroom, giving two bottles of water to the cleaner.

He furrowed his brow and headed toward the woman, even when his mind was telling him not to do it.

As he got closer, he heard her soft and clear voice. “These are new mineral waters. I bought it so my friend and I could drink it, but we didn‘t drink it on the way to the airport. We‘re going to pass the security checkpoint soon and we can‘t bring it with us, so I thought it‘s better to give it to you instead of throwing it.”

The cleaner nodded and accepted the mineral bottles smilingly. “Thank you, thank you! I’ll buy new ones for you when you come next time!” Steven stopped walking. His heart felt warm as he saw how the woman gave the water bottles to the cleaner.

“I don‘t think I‘ll be coming here anymore.” Gwen smiled at the cleaner and gave her a wave.” Goodbye!”

She turned and walked toward the security checkpoint. Steven stood still while looking at Gwen‘s back. Suddenly, a weird feeling appeared in his heart as though he was reluctant to see Gwen leave. ‘Who am I to tell her to stay? I‘m not her friend or anyone she knows,‘ he thought.

He smiled sarcastically at his thoughts. At that moment, he felt like a stalker who followed a random woman.

He thus stopped entirely, and the thought of saying goodbye to her disappeared.

“Miss!” Suddenly, the cleaner called out to Gwen. Gwen smiled and looked back. “What‘s...”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the man standing near the cleaner. Her heart skipped a beat.

Chapter 2680 Gwen thought she was hallucinating again, but as she snapped out of her daze when the janitor called out to her again... She realized she was not dreaming. She bit her lip as she felt her figure shivering. She strode toward the direction Steven was in like she was running.

“Gwen!”

Luna felt something was amiss when she noticed that Gwen had not returned after a while. She furrowed her brow as she called out Gwen‘s name. When she looked back, she saw Gwen running toward a man.

She was shocked to see this and wondered what had gotten into Gwen again.

Thus, she quickly chased after Gwen. As she got closer, however, she finally saw the man‘s face better, and her heart nearly leaped to her throat. ‘That‘s... Steven Hughes? No. That’s not Steven Hughes! That‘s Luke! That must be Luke!‘ “Luke!” Gwen was running toward Steven like a deranged woman. She hugged the evidently stunned Steven when she reached out to him. “I knew you weren‘t dead! I knew it! Did you miss me? I missed you so much!” |

She placed her head on his chest as she wrapped her hands around Steven‘s slim waist. Tears were rolling down her face. “Is this a dream, Luke? I don‘t care if it‘s a dream. I don‘t want to wake up from this dream ever!

“Luke, I...”

She was crying so much that her tears soaked Steven‘s clothes. “I missed you so much. I really, really missed you a lot!”

Steven furrowed his brow. ‘It‘s that name again–Luke. She called me this name when she hugged me the last time when she was drunk.‘

He furrowed his brow and wanted to push Gwen away. Nevertheless, Gwen hugged him so tightly that he could not separate himself from Gwen. People around them were starting to recognize him. “Isn‘t that the eldest young master of the Hughes family?” “Isn‘t he engaged with the young miss from the Miller family?” “Who is that woman in his arms, then?” “Oh my God. He‘s not married yet, and he’s already hugging another woman in public!” “I feel sad for the young miss from the Miller family...” Along with the discussion from the crowd, many people were taking photos of Steven and Gwen.

Luke‘s face turned pale. He could not let those photos leak out to the public. His family was in

the talk with Kate about their wedding, and if his family and Kate saw the photos, he would have had a hard time explaining the situation to them. Although he did not have any feelings for Kate, Kate had been waiting for him for five years and had worked hard to save his life. It was natural for him to be together with Kate for the rest of his life as a repayment.

Then again, what was he doing?

He furrowed his brow and tried to push Gwen away from him. Gwen looked slim and weak but she had a strong pair of arms. She was hugging Steven so tightly that Steven was unable to break free.

“Luke.” Gwen was not about to let Steven go. “Please don‘t push me away. Can‘t I even make you stay in my dream?” } } “Miss, you‘re not dreaming.” Steven took a deep breath. He furrowed his brow and said helplessly, “Luke... He must be someone really important to you.”
