Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2696

Chapter 2696

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned quiet.

Rachel furrowed her brow and turned to stare at Gwen with a look of disbelief.

Rachel was a doctor who specialized in the treatment of comatose patients, so she had seen plenty during her time and was thus always able to keep calm even in stressful situations.

To be frank, Rachel’s first impression of Gwen had not been a good one.

Rachel remembered the numerous times Gwen had tried to escape from Luke while in Merchant City. Not only that, but she even witnessed Gwen trying to persuade Kate to help her take care of Luke after she was gone.

Therefore, Rachel had always thought of Gwen as a labile and extremely emotionally–driven person.

However, this same woman was asking her about Luke’s demise so calmly and in such a collected manner that it shocked Rachel.

She glanced again at Gwen, frowning. “I thought that after running into Steven, your entire brain would be so preoccupied with thoughts of Luke that you wouldn’t be able to think straight.”

Gwen paused for a moment, then let out a self–deprecating laugh. “To be quite honest, I had lost all rationality when I first laid eyes on Steven, but I’m so familiar with Luke that I remember every last detail on his body and regarding his mannerisms.

“Therefore, when I realized that Steven’s body language and behavior were totally different from Luke’s, I quickly regained my rationality and learned to think straight.”

Gwen sighed and fixated her gaze on Rachel. “So…does this mean that Steven is Luke?”

Rachel sighed, stood up, and turned to gaze at the snowing city outside. “I’m reluctant to come to any conclusion before the DNA results come out, but I can say with ninety–percent certainty that Steven is, in fact, Luke, or at least…”

She paused for a moment. “At least, that body belongs to Luke.”

Gwen momentarily faltered when she heard this.

She bit her lip and asked, “What are you trying to say…?”

“Have you ever thought-” Rachel turned to look at her. “Have you ever considered the possibility that something that you only see in movies could, in fact, happen in real life?
