Chapter 2804
Immediately, Gwen’s expression faltered into solemness.
She never thought Steven would ask her such a question. Nonetheless…she did have such a moment of weakness. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
With her eyes closed, she recalled the scene that happened more than a year ago in the hospital in Sea City. At that time, Hailey’s father had sent someone to rape her, and Ben chose to divorce her the moment he found out. She was crushed by the thought that she was corrupted and that no man in this world wanted her anymore.
Amid her despair, she found out she was pregnant with the devil’s child. She lived in pain every day, and all she wanted was to end her life, only intercepted by Luke every time.
Back then, she had just known Luke and never knew he would become such an important person to her in the future. During that period, she attempted to kill herself numerous times because she did not think she was worthy to be alive.
Every time she climbed up the window, Luke would reach her side immediately to trick her into coming back down with all kinds of methods. He was not about to let Gwen end her own life.
Having those thoughts in her mind, tears started falling down her face. It felt like Luke was already quite demanding with her when he was being nice to her in the first place. When they just knew each other, Luke had to put her under house arrest to stop her from ending her own life.
Before they parted ways, Luke was the same as he always was. He kept her illness a secret from her and was afraid her condition would get worse. He was so nice to her, but she always thought he was forcing himself onto her.
In fact, when did Luke truly harm her? If she could understand that earlier on, then they might not have to be separated by death.
Yes. It was all her fault. If she had realized this sooner, the person who was supposed to be dead was her and not Luke. If there was a chance to do it all over again, she would rather be the one who died and not have things turn out the way it was…
“Gwen…” Steven panicked when he saw Gwen start to cry. “I… I shouldn’t ask you that, should I?
He clumsily drew out some tissues from the tissue box to pass them to Gwen. “Don’t cry–it’s my fault. I just… I just wanted to ask. You…”
He passed the tissues over, but Gwen did not accept them. What he did not know was the tone he talked in was so identical to Luke’s that it pained Gwen’s heart deeply.
She bit her lip to prevent herself from weeping and embarrassing herself. However, her sadness would not just go away. Every time she thought of Luke, her heart started to throb painfully.
Steven, too, felt sad when he saw Gwen cry sadly with tears falling down her face incessantly. He no longer tried to give Gwen the tissues. Instead, he extended his hand out and used the tissue to wipe away Gwen’s tears.
His voice was panicked, bitter, and low. “Did I…say something that upset you? You… Did it remind you of him?” Steven did not need to clarify which person he was referring to. Gwen knew he was asking about Luke, thus she nodded feebly. “Yes.” Originally, she had no intention to answer, but she could not help it.
Just a simple answer, but it pained Steven so much. He sighed. “Don‘t cry…” “I can‘t control myself…” Gwen sniffed to stop her snot from drooling and tears from falling.
She turned around and hugged Steven, her entire being racked with helplessness. “What should I do? I can‘t forget him… I really can‘t…”
After two days of recovery, she thought she had accepted the fact. Nonetheless, Steven‘s words reminded her of Luke again. The man was deeply engraved in his heart that she just could not remove him.
“I can‘t… I just can‘t…” Steven closed his eyes silently and embraced Gwen. “Why don‘t I help you to get him back?”
