Chapter 2536

Back in Luke’s house, Luke and Kate were discussing Luke’s impending surgery.

“I still think it’s best to move the surgery forward.” Kate looked at Luke’s face helplessly and reluctantly
added, “Luke, you saw it yourself how Gwen’s body deteriorated a lot because of Bonnie.Now, she’s still
in the dark about Joshua and that woman. Once she finds out, she’ll be devastated because she and
Luna are best friends, and that’ll worsen her condition.

“Moreover, you’ve been hiding her condition from her, and not only does she not understand what’s been
happening all this while, but she’s not in, and won’t be able to, control her emotions.” Kate looked up with
eyes glossed with tears.

“I can’t bear to see you leave, and I don’t want to see you leave so soon, but…” She dabbed away her
tears.

“I hope the best for Gwen, too. You’ve worked so hard and are willing to sacrifice everything just so she
can live. I’m afraid all of these will cause her body to deteriorate even more. What if… What if her
condition worsens to the extent that even the new organ can’t save her? By then, it may be too late…”

Looking at how sad Kate was, Luke felt his heart slightly aching. He sighed and patted Kate’s shoulder.

“I know you’re worried. So am I.” It was the last step in treating Gwen’s illness, and he could not have
anything else worsen things for her. Thus, the most important thing was to move forward with the
surgery. He looked at Kate.

“Where are the surgical specialists now?” Kate sniffed and looked at him.

“They’ll arrive at the airport at 10 p.m.”

“Alright.” Luke inhaled deeply. ‘Til make the arrangements and have them prepare everything.
Tomorrow…



“We’ll do the surgery tomorrow morning.” Kate was startled by what Luke said. She knew Luke loved
Gwen dearly, but she did not know that it was to the extent that he cared about nothing else but Gwen,
including his life and his brothers-in-arms. After the short period of spacing out, she sighed and looked at
Luke deeply.

” Alright. I’ll go to the airport now to fetch the specialists.”: After that, she smiled bitterly looked at Luke.

“Can I get a hug?” This goodbye felt permanent. Luke was startled by Kate’s request. In fact, he had
never been so close with other women other than Gwen. He was an orphan, after all, and he did not
have a mother. Truth be told, he hesitated from hugging Kate, but as he gazed at the teary-eyed Kate
before him, he sighed and walked over, giving her a hug.

“Thank you, and thank you also for the support from your family.” Without the Miller family, there would
be no surgery for him and Gwen, and he would never be able to save Gwen. Luke’s body heat and
unique scent enveloped Kate’s senses at that moment, leaving her dazed. After a while, she smiled
bitterly.

“Gwen is lucky to have met you.” Perhaps, she would never meet anyone this kind to her in this lifetime.
She wiped away her tears and turned around to leave, leaving Luke standing on his own. Seconds later,
his phone rang. It was a phone call from Joshua.

“Are you ready to move the plan ahead?” asked Joshua from the other end of the phone.

“Yes,” Luke answered.
