Luna was worried that something would happen if she left Gwen and Steven to their own devices.
She was just about to stop them when Gwen lifted her head to fixate her gaze on Steven’s face. “Sure.”
“Gwen.” Luna furrowed her brow and instinctively grabbed hold of Gwen’s arm. “You…”
“I know what I’m doing.” Gwen knew what Luna was concerned about.
However, it was as though she was drawn to Steven like a bee was drawn to nectar.
She wanted to find out what kind of person Steven was, and she wanted to know if she had been
hallucinating or if Steven was really gradually becoming Luke.
This was something she would not stop until she found the answer.
When she saw the determination in Gwen’s eyes, Luna fell silent and finally let go.
After Gwen and Steven left, Lucas led Luna to Joshua’s office.
This was Luna’s first time visiting Joshua’s office here in Saigen City. This office was far smaller than
Joshua’s offices in Merchant City and Banyan City.
After being used to sitting in Joshua’s ginormous office space, Luna was a little uneasy by how
suffocating the room seemed.
“I’m just here to help out for a bit, after all.” Joshua smiled when he sensed the discomfort in Luna’s
eyes. He pointed at the sofa beside his desk, signaling her to sit. “Did Gwen leave with Steven?”
Luna nodded. “Did you know that Steven would invite her?”
“Yes.” Joshua took a sip from his cup. “I was the one who suggested he do so.”
Luna’s eyes widened in shock. A split second later, she furrowed her brow and protested, “But you
know Gwen… She’s so devoted to Luke that his death almost killed her. Now that she’s met the person
who stole Luke’s body, aren’t you worried that she-”
“She has to face the truth eventually,” Joshua interrupted her. “If we keep Gwen by our side at all times
and stop her from interacting with Steven in every way, it might seem like a good idea short–term, but
we can’t possibly watch her for the rest of our lives.
“Therefore, instead of keeping her cooped up, why don’t we just let her face the truth so that she can
realize just how different Luke and Steven are? That way, she’ll be able to choose whether she wants
to continue drowning in the past or start her life anew.”
Luna was silent for a long time.
Finally, she lifted her head to stare at Joshua. “Perhaps you’re right, but…”
She sighed and continued, “I’m just worried that Gwen can’t tell the difference between Steven and
Luke, and she’ll eventually lose herself again.”
Joshua curled his lips into a smile. “Just give her some time.”
Luna did not dare to comment any further.
After some time, Joshua‘s phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
Joshua picked up the call, frowning.
Dan‘s furious voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Joshua Lynch, I know you‘re a despicable
man, but clearly, I‘ve underestimated you!”
