“But the doctor said the wound on his waist wasn’t from recently.”
She had only met Steven after Steven was in the accident.How was it possible she was related to Steven getting hurt? Kate sneered.She had no intention to tell Gwen that Steven was hurt during the fight when he wanted to see Gwen.She curled up her lips and smiled.
“Because…”
She stared at Gwen’s face and talked indifferently, “Because I told you the only reason you were bothering him is that your boyfriend’s organs were in his body.
So…”
Kate lowered her voice and got close to Gwen’s ear.Her voice sounded so low and eerie.
“He loves me so much that he didn’t want to have anything to do with you.He was afraid that I’m unhappy because of that.Because of that, he stabbed himself with the knife, thinking of taking away the organs and handing them to you, not wanting anything to do with you anymore.If I didn’t stop him, he would’ve taken out Luke’s organs one by one and returned them back to you!!!”
The air in the hallway turned silent as Gwen looked at Kate with surprise.Her jaw hung widely, but not a peep came from her.She placed her arms beside her body and clenched them into fists, clenching and unclenching them repeatedly.
Was that truly the reason why he hurt himself? Was he that ashamed and uncomfortable using Luke’s body, so much so that he rather be dead and returned Luke’s organs to her? Kate felt satisfied with the expression on Gwen’s face.
She curled up her lips and looked at her plainly.
“If you have any dissatisfaction, just come find me.I was the one who made the decision because I want to let my boyfriend live.Put your anger all on me if you are unhappy, but stop bugging Steven.He didn’t want anything from Luke.I think…”
She raised the corner of her lips.
“You don’t want to see Steven opening himself up and take out Luke’s organs and throw them to your face too, right?”
It was truly a cruel thing to say.
Gwen bit her lip vehemently and squinted.
After a while, she curled up her lip into a smile.
“Don’t try to threaten me with this.Do you really think I’d be threatened by you after what you said? Your family and Steven’s family had spent so much effort to take Luke’s body to save Steven’s life.I don’t believe you’ll easily let go and let him die.
“Even if you’re willing, there’s nothing I can let go of.I prefer to see Steven give back everything that was Luke’s, and I’m also willing to give back the heart in my chest to Steven and reunite with Luke.”
With that, Gwen sneered and left the emergency department.
Kate was rooted on the spot as she watched Gwen leave.She bit her lip.
At first, she thought her words would intimidate Gwen so badly that Gwen would no longer dare to take any action.
She knew Gwen cared about Luke the most and that she would not be willing to see the last of Luke totally disappear from this world.
However…it did not occur to her that Gwen could have such a determined attitude.
Shortly after Gwen left, the door of the emergency room opened.
Kate retrieved her emotions and squeezed a few drops of tears from the corner of her eyes.She rushed into the emergency room anxiously.
“Steven! Are you alright?”
She ran and buried her face in the side of Steven’s bed.
“You had me worried sick.How did you get hurt?” she hoarsely questioned.
“How did you get yourself into an accident? I heard your father telling me that you ran away from home.I was so scared!”
Steven smiled.
He was quite touched by Kate’s reaction, so he reached out his hand to touch Kate’s head and looked at her face.
“Where’s Gwen?”
Suddenly, the tears in Kate’s eyes stopped rolling down.
She bit her lip and looked at him with a blurred look.
”Gwen? Is she here? I don’t know either.It was just you in the emergency room when I came here.”
Steven’s eyes looked disappointed.He remembered how Gwen was the one who pulled him out of the car after the accident, and she was the one who sent him to the hospital.
Did she…leave right after she sent him here? He was disappointed.
Perhaps Gwen only cared about this body after all.
Once she knew there was nothing serious with his body, she thought she could leave.
As it turned out, he was not really that important to Gwen at all…
“Steven, I know how much you wanted to look for Gwen to tell her everything,” said Kate as she took a deep breath and stared at Steven spacing out.
“But no matter what, you shouldn’t harm yourself.”
As she talked, she reached out to hold Steven’s hand, and her eyes gleamed with worry.
“Your mother called me this morning, telling me that you’ve gone mad, had hurt yourself, and ran away.Do you know how worried I was?”
She looked at him as a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye.
“After I told you everything about Gwen last night, I was so scared that you’d leave me, so I didn’t sleep well.Then, I heard that you were hurt and ran away from your house early in the morning.Later, I received news that you were in an accident and were sent to the hospital.
“I was worried sick! Who knew the first thing you ask when you woke up was about Gwen…”
She wiped away her tears and asked, “Is Gwen more important than me in your heart?”
Steven felt distressed and uneasy because of Kate’s words and tears.
All the things he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
Finally, he sighed and held Kate’s hand.
“Kate, I’m sorry for making you worry about me.”
Once Steven started to comfort her, Kate cried bitterly as tears came out of her eyes like an opened tap water.
Helplessly, Steven quickly helped her to wipe the tears off her face.
That caused Steven to accidentally pull the wound that the doctor had just stitched up for him.
His face turned pale immediately as he groaned in pain.
“Are you alright?”
Kate stopped crying.She bit her lip and pressed down on his shoulder.
“Don’t move.”
Steven was slightly touched by Kate’s worried voice.
After a while, he looked up and stared at Kate’s face.
“Kate, let’s break up.”
He could no longer keep holding Kate anymore.
After she told him about the connection between him and Luke, he thought deeply.He kept asking if he had any feelings for Kate and if he really loved her.
Until now…he only felt nervous and anxious in his heart when he saw Kate crying.He did not want her to cry, but not because he was worried or feeling heartbroken.
Instead, he felt guilty and that she should have not cried because of him.He knew very well that the feeling he had for her was not love.He did not love Kate.
Thus, even when Kate did so much for him and he owed her a great deal, he just could not find it in him to be with her.He could not give her what she wanted.
If they continued to be together, they would only dance around in torment.
It would also give Kate the impression that they were both in love with each other.
Maybe it would also cause Kate to miss out on her Mr.Right! “What did you say?”
Kate could not believe what she heard.Her eyes widened as she looked at Steven shockingly.
“Steven, Did I…Did I hear it wrongly?” she hesitated.
