Since Luna was stuttering and failed to say anything, Luke sighed. He sat on the chair gracefully and
decadently while his eyes stared at the door to the emergency room. “I know what she‘s planning. I know
she wants to leave me, and I know she wants to have Kate stay to take care of me when she leaves.”
Luna sighed and sat in front of Luke. “Then…don‘t you want to stop her?”
That was what he had been doing in the past. No matter how hard Gwen tried to leave and how hard she
fought, Luke never let her go and forced her to stay with him. “No.” Luke looked to the front. His sunken
voice sounded slightly hoarse and tired. “I‘ll let her go after the surgery. Even if she wants to stay, I won‘t
allow her.”
Moreover, Luke would be dead after the surgery. How could a dead person stop someone who wanted to
leave so badly? Luna felt pity for Luke as she gazed at him. She bit her lip. “Luke… I‘ve misunderstood
you in the past. I think Gwen did, too. If she knows about her condition…she may not want to leave you
so badly.”
“Then don‘t let her know.” Luke opened his eyes to look at Luna. “You don‘t want Gwen to feel gracious
and guilty of me, don‘t you? Plus, you know it too. She wants to leave me not entirely because of how I
possess and control her; it‘s partly because of the rumor and gossip too.”
The ambiance in the walkway turned dead silent.
Luna bit her lip and looked at Luke. “You know everything, don‘t you?”
Not just Gwen‘s condition, but the reason why Gwen wanted to leave him and all the little thoughts Gwen
had. Luke truly did understand Gwen a lot more than how Gwen understood Luke.
Luke was like a person within the situation and also the one in control of the situation. He saw everything
and made plans accordingly and calmly. On the other hand, Gwen was a lost person in the situation. She
thought Luke did not know her every move, but in truth, Luke knew everything
Most importantly, Luke respected her choice. Since she wanted to leave, Luke would allow her to do so.
He was afraid that Gwen would feel guilty after his passing, so he pretended to be an evil person. This
just showed how much Luke loved Gwen. He was so in love with her that he did not care that he was the
gang leader. He humbly accepted her thoughts, followed her thoughts, Gf8“|]C{ arranged everything for
her.
With those thoughts in her mind, Luna bit her lip and said, “Luke, is there any possibility that …you and
Gwen could be together?”
“No,” uttered Luke indifferently. “Even if her illness is cured and the misunderstanding between us
disappears, she‘ll still be bothered by all the rumors and gossip if she stays with me. Everyone in Sea
city knows about her, and my home ground is in Sea City. Even if I moved everything to Merchant City, I
won‘t be able to stop everyone else related to Sea City from not talking about Gwen.”
He then raised his head to look at Luna. “I‘m sure you don‘t want Gwen to be troubled by that matter for
the rest of her life, do you? If you are Gwen‘s friend, pretend nothing happened today, that you don‘t
know her actual condition. After the surgery is done, I‘ll pretend to go out and fight for territory with
another gang. That‘ll give her one week to leave. Helping her is also helping me.” After that, he looked
into Luna‘s eyes sincerely.
“Please?”
