Luke sighed and returned to the car, holding Gwen close to him.

“Drive.”

The driver started the engine. “Sir, are we heading to the same hospital as before?”.

“Yes.” Luke gingerly pulled Gwen closer and added, “Call Dr. Zachary and tell him to prepare for another

transfusion.”

The driver paused for a moment.

“But Sir…you’ve already transfused blood to Ms. Larson three times this month.

“Now that her condition is getting worse, you can’t keep on transfusing your blood to her. Your body won’t

be able to handle it any longer.

“Why don’t you tell Ms. Larson the truth about her illness? As long as she’s willing to cooperate, we might

be able to find a new treatment that works. You won’t want both you and Ms. Larson to suffer, right?”

Luke chuckled upon hearing this.

“Have you somehow become the new boss without my knowing? Why don’t you take over my job and

start keeping an eye on the gangs in Merchant City and Sea City, huh?”

Even though he was smiling when he said this, and the tone of his voice was as gentle as ever, it

nonetheless sounded vicious and hostile to the driver’s ears.

He lowered his head in shame and replied, “I… That’s not what I meant at all…”

Then, he clamped his mouth shut and stepped on the gas. He should not have stuck his nose into Luke

Jones’ business!

However…

The driver sighed as he glanced at Luke’s sallow face through the rearview mirror. Luke had sacrificed so

much for this woman.

On top of that, he had willingly assumed the role of the bad guy to prevent Gwen from finding out about

her illness:

He had claimed to have murdered Gwen’s fiance and even refused to let her leave his side on the

pretense of wanting to imprison her, but the truth was…

Luke had sent his men to punish Gwen’s fiance because he had spread false rumors about her

throughout Sea City and even insulted her behind her back!

Even though the man had died in the end, it had not been Luke’s intention to kill him at all! It had all been

an accident!

As for Gwen’s imprisonment…

It was because Gwen had fallen sick with a rare disease that would kill her if she did not get regular

blood transfusions from Luke.

However, Luke did not want Gwen to learn this cruel truth, so he chose to bear with her resentment EJA#

I constant hatred toward him.

In Luke’s words…

“If misunderstanding and hating me would allow her to find out the truth later and make her live a happy

life for as long as possible, I think it’s worth it.”

The driver could not understand why Luke was so devoted to this woman; he was not even her first.

Regardless, he knew he could not go against his boss ‘orders.

“Luke…” Gwen, in her feverish and semi-conscious state, was starting to utter gibberish.

“I hate you…” At the start, Luke had not heard her clearly at all, and he thought she was complaining

about the cold. Therefore, he took off his jacket and draped it over her body, then pulled her closer to him

in hopes that he would be able to warm her..

However, it was only after he held her close to him that he realized she had been calling his name

“Luke…” Gwen murmured in a shaking voice with her eyes closed.

“I hate you… I’m scared of you…“

There’s no one I hate more in this world than you…

Luke’s arms, which were wrapped around Gwen’s body protectively, stiffened upon hearing this.
