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!

Gwen wrapped her arms tightly around Luke’s waist. She could not help feeling suffocated, as though

she was engulfed with so much warmth that she could barely breathe.

A split second later, she let go of Luke and removed herself from his embrace. “What happened?”

She was wondering the same thing as Luna.

She was just as surprised as all of them, even. As the person closest to him, she had no doubts that

the man standing before her at this moment was Luke, but how could this be?

How could Luke return when all his memories and consciousness had been erased?

“I don’t know either.” Luke shook his head. “The last thing I remember is laying on the operation table

after sending you to the hospital, waiting for Joshua and Jim to fulfill my wish. They promised me that

they’d take care of you after I was gone, and I, too, believe that they’d do as they said. Therefore, I

intended to end my life right then and there. Soon after that, I became unconscious, but…

“The next time I regained consciousness, I felt as though I was trapped in an enclosed space, watching

you meet Steven through his eyes…”

Luke closed his eyes. “The truth is, I was happy to see you and Steven getting along so well. I’m

grateful that you still harbor so much love toward me, and I’m happy that Steven seemed to genuinely

like you and that you had a chance of starting your life afresh, but…”

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 Original content from .

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.”
