‘Another more serious injury? Could it be…the injury Rachel mentioned about transferring Steven’s brain to Luke’s head?! Her heart was throbbing with pain.She bit her lip and looked at the doctor cautiously.
“What injury…are you talking about? Where is the injury?”
“On his waist.”
The doctor raised her brow and looked at Gwen.
“You’re his girlfriend.How can you not know there’s an injury on his waist?”
Gwen bit her lip and said nothing.
The doctor made no further comments, however, assuming that she and Steven had a complicated relationship.
Instead, she pointed at her own body to show the exact location of the injury on Luke’s body.
“It’s a wound caused by some sort of sharp knife.It looked like an old wound that was near recovery, but I don’t know why it seems like someone stabbed the same spot again.The wound is fresh, and I think it happened within a day.He only sanitized it and that’s all.
There’s no sign of sutures.
“It’s not very serious, but the aftereffect could be severe if it isn’t treated with care since it was an old wound.”She then passed a consent letter to Gwen.
“Sign this, and we’ll attend to his wound.”
Looking at the consent letter, Gwen felt conflicted.She pursed her lip and looked into the emergency room.
From the gap in the door, she could see Steven lying on the bed with his hand covering his waist.
There was no expression on his face, and he looked like he was spacing out as he looked at the ceiling.
In spite of that, Gwen could feel that something was troubling him.She did not know what was troubling him, but…Gwen took a deep breath and accepted the consent letter from the doctor.
Then, she found a place to sit with the pen.
Before she signed her name, she looked at the doctor.
“He…Will there be any aftereffects once his wound recovers?”
The doctor smiled.
“No, there shouldn’t be any aftereffects.However, as his girlfriend, you should take good care of him and not let him get hurt again.”
Gwen’s face turned slightly pale.She bit her lip and lowered her head.
Just when she was about to sign her name on the consent letter, a cold female voice came from far away.
“Wait.”
That voice…
Gwen looked up.
Kate was standing not far from her with her arms crossed in front of her chest while looking at Gwen.She was wearing a cotton material white dress.She smiled when Gwen looked at her, and she slowly walked toward Gwen.
“Hi, Gwen.We meet again.”
Gwen paused, and her eyes turned cold when she looked at Kate.
“Yes.Here we are, meeting again.Are you disappointed?”
Gwen finally realized that odd suspicion she had that Kate was hiding something when she saw Kate for the first and second time.
Kate did not dare to rekindle with them nor even speak more than a few words.She acted so mysteriously like she did not know them.
Back in the past, Gwen thought Kate behaved in that way because Kate did not need to pretend to be their friend after Luke’s death.
After she knew the connection between Steven and Luke, she understood Kate had been being secretive because of Steven! 1 Her look grew colder as she looked at Kate.
She thought back on how she tried to explain and take sides with Kate when Bethan and Bonnie both thought Kate was a bad person.She thought Kate was just a girl who fell in love with Luke, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Furthermore, she even thought about letting Kate replace herself to look after Luke after she left Luke.
As it turned out, Kate never liked Luke.She was fond of Luke because she wanted to use him to revive her fiance, Steven!
“Your friend?”
As Gwen stopped signing her name on the consent letter, the doctor pushed her glasses and looked at Gwen.
“I understand you want to chat with your friend, but my patient, your friend, is still waiting for the sutures.Can you please sign the consent letter and chit-chat later?”
The smile on Gwen’s face froze.She took a deep breath and picked up the pen again to sign the consent letter.
However, the pen got taken away.
Kate looked at Gwen with a sneer.
“Ms.Larson, is there anything wrong with your brain? How foolish of you.Do you think it’s up to you to sign the consent letter for Steven’s treatment? I’m his fiancee.Who are you to him?”
The atmosphere fell into silence.
The doctor who gave the consent letter to Gwen was stunned.She furrowed her brow and looked at Gwen.
“You’re not Steven Hughes girlfriend?”
Gwen bit her lip and tried to say something.She opened her mouth, but she found herself unable to muster anything.
Finally, she lowered her head.
Kate was right.She was not Steven’s girlfriend.She was…the woman Steven’s body liked before the body became Steven’s host.She knew Steven was Luke, but she could not say anything related between her and Steven.
How was she able to explain? Luke…was no longer with them anymore.
“No, she’s not,”
Kate sneered and looked at Gwen from a condescending angle.She raised her head proudly like she was the queen who won and looked at the doctor.
“Maybe you’re too busy to pay attention to the social news in this city.Had you did, then you’d often come across the news about the wedding between Ms.Miller and Mr.Hughes.He’s Steven Hughes, and I…”
She smirked and glanced at Gwen.
“I’m Steven Hughes’ fiancee, Ms.Kate Miller.”
Gwen bit her lip and clenched her hands into fists.The doctor furrowed her brow.
“So it’s the both of you, then.”
Although she was busy with work, she had heard of the marriage arrangement between Mr.Hughes and Ms.Miller.
Rumor had it that she remained by his side when he was in a vegetative state, not once abandoning him.
Instead, she traveled the entire world to seek medical treatment for him.
The touching story was reported by every new agency in the city, so she could not possibly not have heard of it.
The only thing she did not pay attention to was the names and the faces of these two.
As Kate had brought it up, she could connect their faces to the said name.
The doctor furrowed her brow and looked at Gwen with contempt.
“Why didn’t you say it early that you’re not Steven Hughes’ girlfriend?”
She nearly made a mistake in letting this woman, who was not Steven Hughes’ girlfriend, almost sign the consent letter.
“Of course, she won’t tell you.She’s eyeing my fiance,”
Kate said with a sneer.
She then looked at Gwen coldly.
“You didn’t think I’d show up here, did you? Are you disappointed? I know it’s just a few minutes, but I bet you must feel so good hearing someone address you as Steven’s girlfriend.”
Gwen bit her lip vehemently.She cocked up her head and looked at Kate with anger and hatred.
