Chapter 2543

Without him, Gwen could start a new life. She would not need to become the gang leader‘s woman. No
one would pay her any attention or criticize her, mentioning her past repeatedly to the point it haunted
her daily.

With all that in mind, Luke was willing to vanish from this earth. He was willing to sacrifice his all for
Gwen. All that mattered was that she was happy and blissful.

She was worth it.

At that thought, Luke sighed and placed the bowl on the short drawer by the side. He walked over to
Gwen‘s side once more, reached out, and hugged her tightly.

“I‘ll take care of myself. You have to get well. Listen to the doctor, and recover soon.”

As Luke‘s aura and body warmth enveloped Gwen, she bit her lip and bore through her tears. “I will.”

Gwen lifted her head and looked out of the window, trying not to let her tears fall.

“Luke, I… I’m really happy that I met you.”

“Me too.” Luke closed his eyes and sighed. He reached out his large hand, held Gwen‘s chin, and
kissed her passionately. His kiss was fierce and domineering. Gwen, in the past, would have
instinctively resisted every time he kissed like this. Although every time it would only result in a longer
and deeper kiss, she already had the habit.

However, at that moment of farewell, she no longer struggled. She brought her arms around Luke’s
neck and reeled him closer to her. Her hands crossed behind his neck, pulling herself closer to her.



She hugged him tightly, welcoming him.

They kissed each other, lips on lips, as their bodies pressed close.

Time ticked by. Even if they were reluctant to part, Luke gently released Gwen when his assistant
knocked on the door.

He looked at her, who was sitting on the bed with teary eyes, deeply.

“I‘m leaving.” He sighed, lifted her chin, and planted a kiss on her forehead.” Take care.”

Then, he turned and left the ward without any hint of reminiscence.

Seeing Luke leaving, Gwen felt as though the place where her heart was supposed to be felt oddly
hollow. This goodbye...felt permanent.

Powered by a sudden burst of strength, she took a deep breath AaYb\‘IN immediately pulled out the
assorted needles and tubes connected to her before she got down from the bed, barefoot, and ran.

“Luke!” Just when Luke was about to enter the lift, a woman‘s cry rang out in the corridors.

Luke suddenly stopped in his tracks. He furrowed his brow and turned to see the emaciated woman
who was running barefoot toward him.

His eyes widened at the sight.

He came out from the lift and immediately strode over to Gwen. Even if Gwen was running toward
Luke, Luke was still faster than her.

He walked over to her and hugged her. Still, he reprimanded her, though the joy in his eyes betrayed
him, “Why did you run out?”



“Luke.” Gwen looked up at his face. Her heart ached terribly as if there was an invisible hand
squeezing her.

“Luke, c–can you please not go?”

Gwen regretted it. She did not want to leave him! Never again!
