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.
