Chapter 2537
Luke nodded. “Kate is on her way to the airport to pick up the surgical specialist team now. It‘s going to happen tomorrow morning.” For a brief moment, silence hung on both ends of the call until Joshua sighed.” Let‘s meet and have a drink.”
“No.” Luke smiled. “The surgery is tomorrow. It‘s not good to have high alcohol content in my blood.”
Joshua sighed helplessly. “You can drink water, you know.”
“I don‘t have the time. I need to prepare for the aftermath,” declined Luke indifferently. “Joshua, I‘m happy to have made friends with you...but we‘re both men, and there‘s no need for remorse or sadness about one‘s departure. Let‘s not meet. When...”
He paused. “When the surgery is finished tomorrow, you and Jim can send me away one last time.
“I‘ve had a bad life. I wasn‘t born into a good family, had one too many bad experiences, and was never blessed with a proper status or job. There‘s not a lot I can give Gwen, so hopefully, she won‘t meet me again in the next life.” He took a deep breath and muttered solemnly, “I hope that you and Luna will be able to take care of her for me. Heck, it‘ll be better if...you can find a good man to take care of her. I trust whomever you‘ll choose.”
Joshua grasped his phone tightly and sighed while listening to Luke‘s forlorn words. He knew Luke had always been very stubborn and persistent. Since it had reached this stage, no words would alter his decision, so Joshua kept his silence and nodded. “This is goodbye then, brother.”
“Come on. You said it like I‘m entering the operation theater now.” Luke smiled faintly. “It‘s not too late to tell me this when I‘m lying in the mortuary tomorrow.
After that, he sighed. “Joshua, let‘s be friends again in the next life. Goodbye.”
