Chapter 2558

“I‘m fine.” Gwen sniffled. She raised her head to look at Luna with a faint smile on her face.

“The nurse accidentally hurt me when she came to give me an injection.” Luna furrowed her brow
warily. It was difficult for her to believe Gwen would cry like a baby just because she felt pain during an
injection. She knew how strong Gwen was.

Over the past month, Gwen was required to have special medicine injected into her body after the
transplant surgery. According to the doctor, many patients would rather kill themselves due to the pain
they suffered when the medicine was injected into them. Luna was worried Gwen could not handle the
pain, but surprisingly, Gwen silently took it all like a champ, not even emitting a groan upon the
injection. She barely reacted when the needle pricked her skin. The doctor and nurse even wondered if
they had given the wrong medicine to Gwen.

Luna remembered how when the injection was over, the doctor pulled Luna to the side and asked if
something was wrong with Gwen‘s nerves. It worried Luna so much that she found several doctors to
check on Gwen. In the end, they realized Gwen could feel the pain, but her pain tolerance was strong.
That was why Luna did not believe it when Gwen told her she cried so much that her eyes became
swollen because the injection from the morning was too painful.

Bonnie, on the other hand, sighed and walked over to hold Gwen‘s hand lightly.” You… Were you
thinking about Luke?”

Gwen‘s tears came rushing out of her once more when she heard Bonnie mention Luke‘s name. She
had been trying hard to hold it in. She knew she should have acted calm by not crying and looking
devastated so that Bonnie and Luna would not realize something was wrong.

Since Luke had requested everyone to keep the secret from her, she could not possibly let them know
she knew the truth. After all, Luke wanted everyone to tell her, when she got better, that he was killed in



an ambush during a fight for territory with another gang in Sea City. Hence, in her mind, she should
wait for that day to come.

On that day, she would go to Luke‘s grave to bid him a proper farewell GaUa\%&123;L tell him that his plan
had worked.

She was lying to herself, sure, but she wanted everyone to think that Luke‘s plan

went accordingly. Everything Luke planned to do was right, and it would succeed. Nonetheless, she
could not control herself when Bonnie mentioned Luke. She tried to stop crying and looked outside the
window.

“Yes, I was thinking about him,” she spoke, her voice quivering.

“Hey, do you guys think he‘s dead? Why hasn‘t he come to visit me after all this time? He didn‘t even
call me once.”

Luna and Bonnie did not know how to answer. They exchanged looks with each other, and their gazes
were filled with sorrow.

After a period of silence, Luna took a deep breath.

“Gwen, just forget about him; maybe he…doesn‘t care about you anymore. Didn‘t you plan to leave
Merchant City and him? When your body recovers, you should travel and leave this place. Luke…


“That jerk isn‘t worthy of your concern and tears,” spoke Luna, gazing at Gwen‘s side profile as her
heart ached.



Gwen was a resilient woman. No matter how painful the surgery and injection were, she could tolerate
them without even a whimper. However…every time Luke crossed her mind, her tears could not stop
falling.
