Chapter 2845
The entire hallway fell silent.
Gwen nodded, his arms still around her waist in an embrace. “I know…
“Don’t worry; I’ll take care of all this.”
After having gone through so much, she was no longer the naive girl she used to be.
Even though there were times when she had the urge to take her own life and join Luke in heaven, the moment she
witnessed Luke’s personality splitting out of Steven….everything changed.
The truth was, taking her own life would not be the release she wanted.
The best choice she could make was to return to her home and live her life the way he would want her to.
After all, she was aware that Luke’s body was still alive, and his consciousness was still kept within, just that he was
unable to access it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Luke’s memories and consciousness had not been removed somehow, that meant he had not died at all, even if
Steven was the new owner of his body.
Luke did not die; he was just learning to get along with his brother, albeit in a “hidden” state.
Therefore, Gwen no longer sought to take her own life to join Luke.
After settling all this, she would return to Sea City and start her life afresh. She would do as Luke said, and leave
Steven’s life once and for all.
However…she would still check in on him from time to time.
This was more than enough for her.
“Good girl.” Luke lowered his head to stare at her, caressing her hair gently. “I’m sorry you had to go through this. I
promised you a long time ago that I’d be here for you forever, but I didn’t keep my word…”
Gwen shook her head. “No, I don’t blame you.”
Luke had not known what the Hughes and Miller families wanted to do. He truly meant to sacrifice his life in
exchange for hers, so how could she blame him for this?
How could she be mad at the man who was willing to give up his life for her?
“Alright. I have things I need to say to Joshua, too.” He gently pressed a kiss on her forehead, then turned to smile
at Joshua. “I never thought I’d be able to see you again.”
All of a sudden, he realized that he had misworded himself, and quickly added, “Or perhaps I should say, I thought
my life had ended the moment I laid down on that operating table.”
“That’s what I thought, too.” Joshua strode over and pulled Luke into a hug. “I’ve sought some researchers ‘help in
figuring out the situation between you and Steven, hoping to find a solution to this, but I never thought this day
would come so soon.”
Luke chuckled. “That’s because Steven secretly switched out the medicine that Kate gave him, and recently, he’s
been eating some other pills that would loosen his control of his consciousness, which was why I was able to break
free momentarily.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, he let out an exhale and said, “I have something important to talk to you about.”
Joshua fell silent for a morment, then immediately understood what Luke wanted to talk to him about. He turned
around and led Luke into the booth.
“Are you going to ask me how your subordinates are doing now?”
The only people that Luke was still worried about the moments before his death, apart from Gwen, were the
subordinates who were near and dear to him.
Luke nodded. “How are they doing now…after I left?”
“That’s a long story.” Joshua curled his lips into a smile. “If you had come out early, you would’ve been able to talk
to Sean.
“Sean has gone to help out in your business. Even though Jim was reluctant about letting him take over your gang,
he still abided by him in the end.
“Sean had come over to visit Steven and check in on how you were doing.”
Luke fell silent upon hearing this. “Does this mean that…everyone knows I was tricked out of my own body?”
