Chapter 2522

Kate instinctively narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and relief surged into her heart.

The only thing she was afraid of was Gwen finding out about her and Luke‘s plan and spoiling it.
However, since even Gwen‘s best friend intended to hide the truth from her, she was safe. Kate
suppressed the relief in her heart and feigned a look of helplessness. “Well…do you know about her
upcoming organ transplants?” Luna nodded somewhat hesitantly. “Yes, I do.” Kate sighed and lowered
her head. “Well, since you already know, there‘s no point hiding anything anymore. The truth is…

“The reason Luke kept me by his side and continues to treat me so well is because Gwen‘s surgery is
set to be performed under the care of a hospital that my family owns.

“We have the best medical personnel and equipment in the world specialized for organ transplants, and
Gwen was the reason Luke had gotten in touch with us in the first place

She lifted her head to stare at Luna. “Even though I‘m in love with Luke and want nothing more than to
be with him, I knew from the moment I met him that his heart belongs to Gwen, so…” She let out a
bitter smile. “This is why I remained by Luke‘s side for so long. On one hand, I‘m here to keep an eye
on Gwen‘s condition and report it back to the medical personnel looking after her, but for the most
part…I just want to accompany Luke during his final days.”

She gazed earnestly at Luna and said, “I know what all of you are worried about, but please rest
assured that as soon as Gwen‘s surgery is over next week, I‘ll go back to where I came from.”

Kate also turned to glance at Bonnie. “So…if you insist that I‘m the one who tried to murder Ms. Craig,
there‘s no point to that. I won‘t be in Merchant City any longer, and besides, I don‘t have anything
against Mr. Landry or Ms. Craig…” Finally, Kate sighed. “Besides, even if I possessed something like
this and according to your accusations, I would‘ve used it to kill Gwen instead. She‘s barely even



surviving now, and getting rid of her would allow me to be with Luke, wouldn‘t it?” Luna furrowed her
brow upon hearing this. No matter how reluctant she was to admit this…Kate was right.

If she really got her hChVfa$&125;Ks on this deadly poison, why did she not try to kill Gwen and instead
poisoned Bonnie, whom she had never even met before?

Could it be that… Could they have blamed the wrong person? “Okay, Ms. Miller.” All of a sudden,
Bonnie sighed and glanced first at Luna, then at Kate. “I know you‘re upset about this, but you must let
Mrs. Landry and Joshua investigate this first. “There‘s no point trying to justify that you‘re innocent
when there‘s no proof yet.”

She chuckled and continued, “The truth will eventually come to light, and if it turns out that you‘re
indeed innocent, I‘ll ask Luna, Joshua, and Jim to apologize formally to you.

The color drained from Kate‘s face.

A split second later, she smiled and replied, “Alright then. I think I should leave now.”

With that, she got up from her chair, circled past Luna, and strode out the door. Luna furrowed her brow
as she remained motionless, staring at Kate‘s retreating figure.

Even though she still could not help suspecting Kate‘s involvement in this, what Kate told her made
sense too.

She had no reason to hate Bonnie at all, so Bonnie‘s death would not bring her any benefit. “How‘s
Gwen doing now?”
