Chapter 2843
Steven furrowed his brow when he heard Gwen’s voice.
He turned around, and his entire body froze when he caught sight of Gwen.
A split second later, he reached out and pulled Gwen into his arms as though there was no one else around there. “Yes, it’s me.”
Tenderness twinkled in his eyes as he held the woman he loved in his arms. “My love.”
Tears spilled down Gwen’s face when she heard this. She reached out to grab his sleeve, tears brimming in her eyes. “Is that really you, Luke?”
“Yes, it is.” Luke furrowed his brow. “I don’t know what happened… but it seems as though I had just burst out of a cocoon.”
Everyone’s jaws dropped at this sight, including Thomas, who had been bracing himself for another slew of punches.
Joshua furrowed his brow in confusion.
Luna, on the other hand, widened her eyes in shock, then strode over to Joshua’s side and gently tugged on his sleeve. She asked in a whisper, “What happened?”
How could Steven suddenly turn into Luke without warning?
Did the doctors not say that Luke’s consciousness had disappeared and would never return?
Judging from the way Gwen and Luke held each other, as well as the look in his eyes when he laid eyes on her, Luna was certain that this was none other than Luke; Steven would never be able to put on such a genuine act. 1
After all, Steven had never met Luke before and thus would never know how Luke behaved in Gwen’s presence, much less imitate the tenderness and love he had toward her!
He fell silent for a moment, then reached out to touch his own face. “I never thought Steven would seek
the doctors‘ help to free me from his body. Even though the doctors kept emphasizing to him that the medications that would do so carried a risk of causing split personality disorder, he still chose to take it…”
He sighed and added, “Perhaps this is the result of that. Perhaps I’m just one of the multiple personalities that manifested as a result of the medicine he took and that eventually, I’ll have to return to his body.” He gently took Gwen’s hand in his and said, “Please take good care of yourself, and don’t hurt yourself anymore for my sake.
“Please don’t try to forcibly release me from Steven’s body after this; it won’t be fair to him. Even if I can only exist as a split personality of his in the future, I still hope his disease can be kept under control.”
As he said this, Luke turned to stare at Joshua and Luna. “I’m sorry, but I think I’ll need you to help me take care of Gwen in the future.”
Finally, he turned to glance at Thomas. “And you–I’m guessing you’re the reason Steven lost control of his emotions and broke, which allowed me to come out temporarily.
“I know you must’ve been through a lot of pain and suffering, but since Denise has already learned her mistake, you shouldn’t take things too far.”
