Bonnie, who had been lying on the bed in silence, furrowed her brow and asked this question.
Luna immediately came to and quickly explained everything to Bonnie.
“Luke is such a great liar. I used to think that she got sick because of her already poor health combined
with Luke‘s maltreatment of her. It was only until Dr. Liddell told me the truth that I realized how serious
this is…”
The entire room fell silent.
A split second later, Bonnie closed her eyes and sighed. “I guess Luke proved himself once again. In
the past, I used to think that there was much more underneath the surface that we didn‘t know of, and
that Luke‘s love toward Gwen ran much deeper than what he showed, but…” She lifted her head to
stare at Luna. “Are you sure you don‘t want to tell Gwen the truth?
Luna slumped onto a nearby sofa, letting her entire body sink into the soft cushion. “I don’t know.”
She had rushed here immediately after making sure that Gwen was alright.
Luna was worried that she would not be able to put up a good act and would accidentally blurt out the
truth in her distracted state.
On one hand, she agreed that hiding the truth from Gwen would be the best thing to do for the time
being
After all, Luke had already told her that he and Gwen would never have a future together. He was a
gang leader, and Gwen, on the other hand, had a tragic past.
If word got out, rumors would engulf them and easily destroy their relationship. Therefore, leaving Luke
was the best choice for Gwen. On the other hand…Luna could not help thinking it would be unfair to
Luke to continue hiding this from Gwen.
Luke had been helping Gwen for the past year and even saved her from the brink of death multiple
times, but Gwen‘s misunderstanding toward him ran so deep…
She did not want Gwen to leave with so much hatred and resentment toward Luke.
Nonetheless, Luna was worried that leaving Luke would become even harder for Gwen if she found out
about Luke‘s sacrifices for her.
Therefore, Luna‘s mind had been tangled in doubts ever since she left Gwen‘s place, so much so that
she had no choice but to come to Bonnie BeRfa$|K seek her help.
When she saw the distracted look on Luna‘s face, Bonnie immediately knew that this was a tough
decision to make for Luna, but…
She lifted her head to stare at Luna. “When is the surgery planned?”
Luna paused for a moment. “According to Luke, the doctors previously arranged for it to be done two
weeks from now, but since Gwen‘s health is deteriorating so much, they’ll push it forward to next week
or perhaps… in three days.” Bonnie froze. “Well, why don‘t we tell her the truth after her surgery? Since
her mood was so severely affected by what happened with Kate, knowing the truth about Luke will
probably worsen her condition.
“Maybe it‘ll be better to tell her the truth after the surgery succeeds and she is recovering well from it.
“If knowing the truth doesn‘t change her mind about leaving Luke, we‘ll help her, and if she chooses to
stay with him despite other people‘s opinions…this might turn out to be best for both her and Luke.”
Luna was silent for a long time before finally nodding in agreement. “You‘re right.”
This decision made her feel as though a rock had been lifted off her shoulders. She leaned against the
sofa and began to chat with Bonnie about her current state, and in doing so, she could not help
lamenting once again just how much turmoil Bonnie and Jim had gone through. Without noticing it, the
two of them chatted until the sun went down, and finally, Luna stood up and stretched. “I guess I should
be heading home now, I–” Before she could even finish, her phone rang.
It was a call from Yannie.
Yannie wailed in a sobbing voice, “Ms. Luna, you have to believe me; there‘s nothing going on between
me and Mr. Lynch!”
