Luna felt like every muscle in her body grew taut. She finally understood the depths of how Luke cared for Gwen…so much so that he could sacrifice his life for her.In contrast, Gwen's former fiance was a complete asshole. He had some nerve to confront Luke and challenged him with Gwen's name! It made sense why Luke ended his life when he did."I'm telling you all this not because I want to tell you how innocent Luke was; I just wanted to speak on Luke's behalf. He never wanted to go against Gwen's will deliberately, and it was never his intention to stop Gwen from starting a new life."Joshua sighed. "Later down the line, he found out Gwen was sick. He looked everywhere, high and low, for every possible treatment to cure her, but he failed. Luckily, his effort did not go to waste. He discovered that his organs matched Gwen's body."Mysteriously, the two of them weren't related by blood, but their organs matched so perfectly. Maybe this is their destiny."Joshua hugged Luna and lo
Despite that, Gwen did not know who the organ donor was. She tried asking the doctor, but the doctor told her the same answer every time; the information of the donor was confidential and he was not allowed to tell.The way Gwen understood it was that it was a rule set by the organ donation association. Thus, she did not ask further and thought it was a kind anonymous person who donated the organs.Never did Gwen imagine…that the person who donated the organs was not a terminally ill patient. It was Luke, a healthy man without any sickness. He wanted her to live so badly that he was willing to give up his life.Her fingers clenched around the phone in a vice-like grip as tears sprung into her eyes once more.Neil was the one who left the tapping device that was linked to her phone when he left.When Joshua requested Mrs. Flores to bring Nigel, Neil, and Nellie out, Neil was video-calling Gwen in fear that she felt lonely being all by herself in the hospital. Mrs. Flores went upsta
"I'm fine." Gwen sniffled. She raised her head to look at Luna with a faint smile on her face. "The nurse accidentally hurt me when she came to give me an injection."Luna furrowed her brow warily. It was difficult for her to believe Gwen would cry like a baby just because she felt pain during an injection. She knew how strong Gwen was.Over the past month, Gwen was required to have special medicine injected into her body after the transplant surgery. According to the doctor, many patients would rather kill themselves due to the pain they suffered when the medicine was injected into them.Luna was worried Gwen could not handle the pain, but surprisingly, Gwen silently took it all like a champ, not even emitting a groan upon the injection. She barely reacted when the needle pricked her skin. The doctor and nurse even wondered if they had given the wrong medicine to Gwen.Luna remembered how when the injection was over, the doctor pulled Luna to the side and asked if something was wr
Gwen was this grief-stricken when she did not even know Luke had died. What would her reaction be if…she knew? What if Gwen knew Luke died for her? She might just pass out from the news alone.With those thoughts in mind, Luna clenched her fists as she said, "Gwen, the doctor said you can be discharged after one week, and all you need to do at home is to monitor your condition. The process is about the same as when Neil had his bone marrow transplant surgery. You just need to take your medicine and come back to the hospital routinely as you'll slowly recover.""Why don't I…go travel with you a week from now? You don't have to stay in this city or wait for Luke. He's not worth it."The atmosphere was silent.Gwen nodded and looked at Luna smilingly, though her eyes were still glossed with tears. "Okay."She could not help but tilt her head to look at Luna again. "Will Joshua be angry if you travel with me?"Luna pursed her lips. "There's nothing for him to be angry at. Going trave
Silence blanketed the atmosphere in the study. Joshua's finger trembled as he was flipping the document.Looking to the side, a small smile was present on his handsome angular face. "Why are you in a hurry?"He had yet to figure out what Thomas wanted to do.Two weeks ago, Yannie had brought Thomas' nails and hair strands complete with hair follicles to him. The first thing he did was that he had sent those specimens for the test. A day later, he received results from different DNA testing centers, and each result stated Thomas was Riley's biological father, with a 99.99% probability of paternity.Only then did Joshua believe Thomas came to Merchant City because of Riley. Despite that, it shocked Joshua that Thomas did not visit Riley anymore after the day Kate took photos of Thomas visiting Riley.Thomas had been very busy, it seemed—with work and making a fool out of Yannie. Sometimes, he would also cause trouble for Joshua and Luna, too. Other than that, Thomas did nothing else
"Three days. Give me three days, and I'll tell you who Riley's father is."Luna paused upon hearing Joshua's suggestion. Then, she nodded quietly.With that settled, Luna started to worry again. "Looking at Riley now…I'm worried about our daughter. Do you think she's alright? Did a nice family adopt her, or…"Luna trailed off before she could continue, unable to stomach any other thought that could lead to negativity. During this period, she was not in a hurry to search for her daughter because she knew how fragile a newborn baby could be.Since her baby went missing as soon as she gave birth, Luna had no idea about the child's well-being. She did not know whether her baby was kidnapped as Hunter said or if they were taken away. It had been three months, so the perpetrators should have shown some signs or contacted either Luna or Joshua. However, they did not receive any news or information regarding her baby for the past three months.In fact, Luna was prepared for the worst-case
[Shocking Revelation! The rising star of the entertainment industry had a baby out of wedlock!][Thomas' new girlfriend was a baby mama!][Finally, the reason behind Yannie's hospital admission resurfaced after three months!]…In the early morning, shocking entertainment news took Merchant City's entertainment industry by storm. News about Yannie's previous pregnancy made its way to every headline.To many, Yannie was just a nobody. However, to the media and Thomas' fans, she was a sting in the eye. The reason was simple: Yannie had been pretending to be Thomas' screen couple for the past month.Both of them took part in an advertisement shooting and also went on a romance variety show and a movie as a couple. The only person who managed to have this kind of privilege in the past was Wendy.At this moment, it was Yannie who took this privilege—the poor, no-name woman. Fans were relentless with their dissatisfaction toward Yannie, while the media sided with Wendy and grieved her
Yannie was not lying when she said that she did not have the money. She was actually forced to sign the contract with Thomas' entertainment agency.All she did was agree with Joshua to get close to Thomas because of the one 148000-dollar reward. She thought only she and Joshua knew about their agreement.She never thought things would take a turn for the worse.There was one time Thomas had too many drinks. Seizing this opportunity, Yannie took his hair and fingernail and later brought them to Joshua. What was waiting for her on the other side were threats from Thomas.In fact, Thomas was never drunk; he merely pretended to see what Yannie would do. The camera captured everything Yannie did from pulling his hair and cutting his fingernail, much to her terror. She thought Thomas would go look for Joshua, so she begged Thomas to look past this incident.Of course, Thomas did not care if Joshua was in possession of his DNA specimen—it barely concerned him. Nonetheless, he used that v
