Kate furrowed her brow at what her mother was saying. She snatched the phone from Mrs. Miller and glared at her. "Mom, why are you saying such things again? I told you, didn't I? I spent one year beside the man, and I know he's not a bad person. If the Hughes family didn't abandon him, he wouldn't have ended up the way he did. If he was some sort of crazy man, I'd never agree to let him replace Steven. I…"Suddenly, Kate did not remember what she was going to say when she saw the photo on the phone.After all, the people on the phone were Steven and Gwen.The woman Steven was hugging was Gwen!It seemed like the photo was taken at the airport.Gwen was in Steven's arms with tears on her face. She was closely attached to him, and her hands were around Steven's waist. Steven was looking down at her with a frown with a visibly troubled expression.The photo had Kate's blood pressure skyrocketing. No matter how Kate avoided it, Steven and Gwen still met! Luna and Gwen were supposed t
Kate was the only one in this building who knew Luke had a girlfriend.When Luke sought medical help from the Miller family, he told them Gwen was his sister to show how determined he was to save Gwen's life. Everyone knew Luke was actually a Hughes, and his sister was Denise. Alas, no one pointed it out. They thought Gwen was the daughter of Luke's foster parents.Later, Kate found out about the real relationship between Luke and Gwen when she was living with Luke. Thus, those who knew Luke replaced Steven thought Luke was doing it all for his foster sister. Only Kate knew the truth.They only cared if Luke's body was suitable to be Steven's replacement. No one cared about Gwen. Thus, they did not know Gwen was actually Luke's partner.Currently…Kate looked at the photo on the phone, and it felt as though a large hand clutched her heart in an iron grip. 'In the end, I still failed to keep him by my side, huh? Even after Luke's memory was erased from his brain, he still can't for
Rachel furrowed her brow after hearing what Steven had to say. She narrowed her eyes and looked at this man who had clear and pure eyes.She frowned.The old Luke she knew was a gangster leader. He had an extraordinary identity, and his method of solving problems was different from regular folks. He had the skill and ability to trick all of the people in Sea City and Merchant City. He had vicious, cold eyes; ones that looked beyond and further than everyone else.However, this man who went by the name of Steven Hughes had clear, bright eyes, much like the eyes of a kid who had not known the evil in the world.Rachel hesitated when she saw the look in Steven's eyes. She furrowed her brow and looked into his eyes. "Do you really want to know what happened?"She was a doctor. She understood once Steven knew the truth, his future would never be peaceful anymore. Thus, she had to remind Steven of all of the pros and cons before telling him the truth.Steven nodded as an ominous feelin
Rachel put the glass down on a nearby table and glanced impassively at Steven, who was standing at the door. "Is this the kind and loving girlfriend of yours you told me about?"Kate faltered momentarily at the sight before her. She furrowed her brow and shot Rachel a puzzled look. "What're you doing here?"Was it not Gwen who came home with Steven?""What's wrong? You don't like seeing me here?" Rachel curled her lips into a smirk and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Then, she leaned against the chair and gave Kate a disdainful once-over. "Have I disappointed you? Who did you expect to see standing here, if not me? Do you need my help in contacting her and getting her here?"Kate's expression darkened upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes and glared at Rachel. "Don't you dare!""What makes you think I don't?" Rachel stood up, picked up her doctor's bag, and sauntered in Kate's direction. "Considering the fact that I even dared to accept your precious fiance's invitation
Kate froze when she heard this.A split second later, she lifted her head, staring right into Steven's searching gaze, and bit her lip nervously. "What are you trying to say, Steven? Do you not trust me?"Steven chuckled when he saw how Kate tried to deflect responsibility. "You're the one who didn't trust me in the first place."Steven never thought that his fiancee would secretly track his every move.If she had not, how could she have discovered the address of his private residence, much less know that he had brought a woman home from the airport?Steven did not remember much about his first impression of Kate. Although he had known since he was young that the Hughes and Miller families were close and had a marriage agreement, he never cared much about these customs.However, when he awoke after five years of being in a coma, everyone told him that he and Kate had gotten engaged prior to his accident. Not only that, but his parents also emphasized how much Kate had sacrificed
Perhaps Kate had done it all for his own good.However…"Kate." Steven gently clasped Kate's hand. "If… If you truly love and care about me as much as you claim, why have you never shown a hint of concern whenever I told you about my headaches and nightmares?"Kate froze when she heard this.A split second later, she bit her lip and replied, "I can explain. Are you willing to listen to me, Steven?"…At the hotel.Ever since they returned from the airport, Gwen had locked herself in the room in despair.Luna was worried that something terrible would happen, so she secretly went down to the lobby to request a copy of Gwen's room key, then surreptitiously opened the door to see what Gwen was doing.All this while, Gwen had been sitting in front of the laptop, reading through pages and pages of information about Steven.Since Steven had grown up in Saigen City and hailed from one of the wealthiest families here, information about his upbringing could easily be found on the inter
Joshua closed his eyes and sighed. "Luna, please calm down, and I'll explain everything."Luna furrowed her brow upon hearing this.She plopped down in the lounge chair on the balcony and narrowed her eyes as she stared at the snow-covered city beyond. "Alright, I'm listening."She wanted to hear what he had to say about this.Joshua sighed when he sensed Luna's rage and said slowly, "I know that you're mad at me right now, but please think about this: What was Steven's reaction like when you bumped into him at the airport today? Did he admit that he was Luke, or did he patiently listen to you recounting your memories with Luke?"Try to remember Gwen's reaction when she saw Steven just now and how she has been acting over the last few days… If you were me, would you have come forward with the truth after seeing just how unhinged Gwen had been over the past few days at any mention of Luke?"Luna was silent after hearing this.She bit her lip and recalled how Gwen had looked in th
Before Luna could even finish her sentence, the door to Gwen's room was flung open.Gwen stormed out of the room and desperately grabbed Rachel's hands. "What happened, Dr. Liddell? Is Steven…"Tears brimmed in her eyes as she stared earnestly at Rachel. "Is… Is he Luke?"When she saw the look in Gwen's eyes, Rachel bit her lip and sighed. Then, she reached out to hold Gwen's hand in consolation. "Gwen, why don't you first tell me how you're doing?"Gwen had just received her heart transplant less than two months ago, and Rachel was worried that Gwen's heart would not be able to handle the news she had to give."I'm doing well." Gwen bit her lip as tears slid down her cheeks. "Please tell me the truth, Dr. Liddell. I promise that I can handle it."A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart at the sight of this. She strode over to them and picked up a tissue to gently dab at Gwen's tears. "No matter what happens, Gwen, promise me that you'll face the truth, okay?"Gwen nodded as
