CHAPTER 2331

Joshua lifted his head to glance at Gwen, who was sitting out in the garden, in the middle of a

conversation with Luna.

"This time, the doctor isn't exaggerating."

Something was very wrong.

"You say you're pregnant with Luke's child?"

The afternoon sun seeped into the gazebo where Luna and Gwen were chatting in the garden.

Luna was staring, eyes wide in shock, at Gwen.

"You're not kidding, are you? Didn't the doctor in Sea City say..."

"The doctor said I'd have a hard time getting pregnant in the future, but it's not entirely impossible."

Gwen took a sip from her cup and instinctively glanced toward the living room.

After making sure that Luke was not staring in their direction, she let out an exhale and said in a low

voice, "Please help me keep this a secret, and don't tell Luke.

"I'm not in my best health right now.Previously, when we were still in Sea City, he was willing to raise

another man's child as his own after knowing that an abortion would wreak dramatic effects on my

health.

"I'm worried that if he finds out about the health implications of keeping this baby, he'll force me to

terminate this pregnancy..."

Luna frowned, staring at Gwen's face.She wanted to say something, but a split second later, she let out

a sigh and clasped Gwen's hand instead.

"Gwennie, you have to really think this over ...Are you sure you want to keep this baby? “

"As a mother, I speak from experience when I say...if you don't want to have anything to do with Luke in

the future, please don't bring his child into this world.”

"This child will become the only link between the two of you, and one day, you'll be forced to stay with

him because of it."

The color drained from Gwen's face.She bit her lip nervously and stared intently at Luna.

"I intend to give birth to this baby, then leave it in Luke's hands."

When faced with the look of disbelief on Luna's face, Gwen let out a sigh and turned to gaze at the sky,

her gaze seeming to penetrate past the clear skies to somewhere far, far away.

"Even though it may appear as though I want to escape from Luke at every chance I get, there's no

denying that..."

She closed her eyes.

"Luke is the only man I love in this world, apart from my father.

"The truth is, I've always known that none of the men in my life have cherished me, whether it was Ben

or my ex-fiance.All of them have treated me like one of the million fishes in the sea; ordinary

replaceable."

She could not help chuckling as she continued, "It's just that I'm a little prettier than most girls and

come from a slightly better financial background, so after careful calculation, they decided to choose

me." Material © .

She turned to smile at Luna.

"But Luke is different.When I first met him, I had been assaulted by numerous men, and in Ben's

words, I'm just an old, worn-out shoe that no one wants.

"Every day, I find ways to convince myself that my life is no longer worth living, but Luke saw the light in

me and cared for me in my darkest days.

"He helped tend my wounds carefully and would hug me close to him and tell me everything was going

to be fine..."

Gwen closed her eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that he changed...would never dream of leaving him."

She reached out to place a hand on her belly.

"Perhaps this baby will be my final gift to him."
