Boom!A loud explosion was heard coming from the intersection, scaring Gwen as she was about to cross the street. She looked up ahead and noticed an accident had occurred. A silver SUV car had collided with the truck, and from the looks of it, it was obvious the SUV had violated the traffic rules and went straight to ram into the truck."How did the SUV collide with the truck when the intersection is so big?"At that moment, many onlookers started to discuss how the accident happened."I saw the SUV headed straight toward the truck. I think the driver must've done it on purpose!""On purpose? Look how small the SUV is when compared with the truck. Is he trying to cause trouble?!""Maybe he had something against the truck's driver. Other than that, no one would do it on purpose!"Gwen furrowed her brow and looked in the direction of the accident, and the sight struck her petrified when she recognized who it was. She could barely believe her eyes.The person driving the SUV was n
Mrs. Miller sighed helplessly upon seeing how insistent Kate was in her decision.She extended her hand out to touch her daughter's head. "Kate, how many times do I have to tell you that there are certain things you can't force? It's Steven's destiny if he can't wake up, and it's also destiny if you can't be with Steven or Luke. Why can't you just listen to me, let go of all those obsessions, and look for another person to marry?"Kate swiftly avoided Mrs. Miller's hand. "Stop trying to talk me out of it, Mom. If I'd listened to you, I would've married someone else when Steven was in his coma five years ago. I've been persevering until now, and you are asking me to give up and marry someone else? Do you think that's possible?"'Mrs. Miller sighed in desperation. She looked at Kate deeply and exasperatedly riled on, "Kate, don't forget that Steven is using Luke's body, and that man used to be a notorious gang leader. What if one day he remembers his past? Do you think he'll forgive y
Looking at the consent letter, Gwen felt conflicted. She pursed her lip and looked into the emergency room.From the gap in the door, she could see Steven lying on the bed with his hand covering his waist. There was no expression on his face, and he looked like he was spacing out as he looked at the ceiling. In spite of that, Gwen could feel that something was troubling him.She did not know what was troubling him, but…Gwen took a deep breath and accepted the consent letter from the doctor. Then, she found a place to sit with the pen.Before she signed her name, she looked at the doctor. "He… Will there be any aftereffects once his wound recovers?"The doctor smiled. "No, there shouldn't be any aftereffects. However, as his girlfriend, you should take good care of him and not let him get hurt again."Gwen's face turned slightly pale. She bit her lip and lowered her head. Just when she was about to sign her name on the consent letter, a cold female voice came from far away."Wait.
The atmosphere fell into silence.The doctor who gave the consent letter to Gwen was stunned. She furrowed her brow and looked at Gwen. "You're not Steven Hughes' girlfriend?"Gwen bit her lip and tried to say something. She opened her mouth, but she found herself unable to muster anything. Finally, she lowered her head.Kate was right. She was not Steven's girlfriend. She was…the woman Steven's body liked before the body became Steven's host.She knew Steven was Luke, but she could not say anything related between her and Steven. How was she able to explain? Luke…was no longer with them anymore."No, she's not," Kate sneered and looked at Gwen from a condescending angle. She raised her head proudly like she was the queen who won and looked at the doctor. "Maybe you're too busy to pay attention to the social news in this city. Had you did, then you'd often come across the news about the wedding between Ms. Miller and Mr. Hughes. He's Steven Hughes, and I…"She smirked and glanced
What Kate said was too absurd and way out of Gwen's imagination. At that moment, Gwen did not know how to respond to that. Wordless, she looked at Kate incredulously.At first, the doctor thought Gwen only wanted to snatch Steven to be her boyfriend because he was a handsome-looking guy. It was unethical, but it was understandable because Steven's appearance and background were something all women desired.As she listened in more, however, this was not the first time this woman tried to snatch someone else's boyfriend. Thus, the doctor sighed, took the consent letter Kate passed over, and looked at Gwen with disgust. "Young lady, you should show respect to yourself and others. It's not a good habit to snatch someone else's boyfriend. You'll receive karma for it in the future."After saying that, the doctor went back into the emergency room.Gwen bit her lip and looked at the doctor."Did you hear that?" Kate sneered and repeated the doctor's words once again when she saw how stupe
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 method 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 o
The air in the hallway turned silent as Gwen looked at Kate with surprise. Her jaw hung widely, but not a peep came from her. She placed her arms beside her body and clenched them into fists, clenching and unclenching them repeatedly.Was that truly the reason why he hurt himself? Was he that ashamed and uncomfortable using Luke's body, so much so that he rather be dead and returned Luke's organs to her?Kate felt satisfied with the expression on Gwen's face. She curled up her lips and looked at her plainly. "If you have any dissatisfaction, just come find me. I was the one who made the decision because I want to let my boyfriend live. Put your anger all on me if you are unhappy, but stop bugging Steven. He didn't want anything from Luke. I think…"She raised the corner of her lips. "You don't want to see Steven opening himself up and take out Luke's organs and throw them to your face too, right?"It was truly a cruel thing to say.Gwen bit her lip vehemently and squinted. After a
"Steven, I know how much you wanted to look for Gwen to tell her everything," said Kate as she took a deep breath and stared at Steven spacing out. "But no matter what, you shouldn't harm yourself."As she talked, she reached out to hold Steven's hand, and her eyes gleamed with worry. "Your mother called me this morning, telling me that you've gone mad, had hurt yourself, and ran away. Do you know how worried I was?"She looked at him as a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye. "After I told you everything about Gwen last night, I was so scared that you'd leave me, so I didn't sleep well. Then, I heard that you were hurt and ran away from your house early in the morning. Later, I received news that you were in an accident and were sent to the hospital."I was worried sick! Who knew the first thing you ask when you woke up was about Gwen…"She wiped away her tears and asked, "Is Gwen more important than me in your heart?"Steven felt distressed and uneasy because of Kate's wo
