Chapter 2712 Gwen was startled. “How did he get hurt?”
“It‘s because of you.” Kate sneered and looked at Gwen. The image of a vehemently determined Steven during the
early morning in the Hughes family residence appeared in Kate‘s mind.
“If Gwen Larson came to look for me, then the very least I need to do is to meet with her and clear the air with
her,” was what he said.
At that time, Steven‘s father wanted to stop him from meeting with Gwen. He did not want Steven to be affiliated or
had connections with the people Luke knew. Thus, he ordered the bodyguard to encircle him in the middle.
A bodyguard took out a military knife to threaten Steven, asking him to calm down and to not meet with Gwen.
Kate knew it was wrong to use violence to stop Steven from meeting Gwen. Nonetheless, she would use that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmethod too if she was Steven‘s father in that situation.
Steven had a phobia of knives, most likely due to the trauma he experienced when he was a kid. He had been
scared of knives and similar sharp objects. To this extent, he did not dare to touch the knife that was identical to the
custom–made military knife that Luke had. He just left it in a corner of the house.
Therefore, Steven‘s father thought it was the most efficient way to stop Steven. What he did not anticipate was that
the new Steven was far from the gentle Steven from five years ago. He pushed away the people around him with
great strength, and amid the struggle, the bodyguard accidentally stabbed him in the waist with the knife.
Steven‘s parents panicked and sent him back to his room while calling the family doctor to treat Steven‘s wound. In
spite of that, Steven jumped out the window and escaped before the family doctor arrived.
The Hughes family went to look for Steven‘s whereabouts through the surveillance camera, but Steven eluded
everyone effectively. After switching his body to Luke‘s, Steven‘s stamina and anti–reconnaissance capability were
on a totally different level from the past. Fortunately, Kate had installed a tracking app on his phone when Steven
found out she was following him. Otherwise, they would have had a hard time tracking him down.
Having thought of that, the way Kate looked at Gwen became more resentful. She knew the brainwashing and
hypnotizing were not as successful as they thought.
The reaction Steven had when he saw Gwen was not right, and so were most of Steven‘s habits and alertness.
Therefore, it was important to stop Steven from meeting Gwen. That was indeed why Kate would take the risk after
arranging a truck to create an accident to kill Gwen when she found out the location where Steven asked to meet
with Gwen. In her thought, Steven would return to normalcy as long as Gwen was dead.
All of the abnormalities that Steven had only appeared when he saw Gwen! “Because of me?” Gwen furrowed her
brow, not understanding what Kate was implying. “But the doctor said the wound on his waist wasn‘t from
recently.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had only met Steven after Steven was in the accident. How was it possible she was related
to Steven getting hurt? Kate sneered. She had no intention to tell Gwen that Steven was hurt during the fight when
he wanted to see Gwen.
She curled up her lips and smiled. “Because...”
She stared at Gwen‘s face and talked indifferently, “Because I told you the only reason you were bothering him is
that your boyfriend‘s organs were in his body. So...”
Kate lowered her voice and got close to Gwen‘s ear. Her voice sounded so low and eerie. “He loves me so much
that he didn’t want to have anything to do with you. He was afraid that I’m unhappy because of that. Because of
that, he stabbed himself with the knife, thinking of taking away the organs and handing them to you, not wanting
anything to do with you anymore. If I didn‘t stop him, he would‘ve taken out Luke‘s organs one by one and returned
them back to you!”
