“You know that I–“
“Know what?”
Kate cut her off before she finished her sentence.
With a proud face, she looked down at Gwen’s face.
“Know that you want to steal my boyfriend away from me? Yes, I know that.I mean, it’s already the second time you tried it.The first time was when we were at Merchant City.”
Gwen was stunned.
After a while, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Kate coldly.What do you mean? Are you saying Luke was your boyfriend? But…”
Kate curled up her lips and raised her hand to sign her name on the consent letter.
She sneered, “When Luke brought me to Merchant City, you were still at Sea City.I was so close to being his girlfriend, and then you went to Merchant City.You said you were there because you wanted to take care of your friend Bethan after she delivered her baby, but…”
Her gaze toward Gwen sharpened maliciously.
“Bethan is Brettley’s wife, the young miss of the Landry family.There should be many people looking after her.Why did she need you to take care of her? That’s why you went to Merchant City to take Luke from me, didn’t you?”
What Kate said was too absurd and way out of Gwen’s imagination.
At that moment, Gwen did not know how to respond to that.
Wordless, she looked at Kate incredulously.
At first, the doctor thought Gwen only wanted to snatch Steven to be her boyfriend because he was a handsome-looking guy.
It was unethical, but it was understandable because Steven’s appearance and background were something all women desired.
As she listened in more, however, this was not the first time this woman tried to snatch someone else’s boyfriend.
Thus, the doctor sighed, took the consent letter Kate passed over, and looked at Gwen with disgust.
“Young lady, you should show respect to yourself and others.It’s not a good habit to snatch someone else’s boyfriend.You’ll receive karma for it in the future.”
After saying that, the doctor went back into the emergency room.
Gwen bit her lip and looked at the doctor.
“Did you hear that?””
Kate sneered and repeated the doctor’s words once again when she saw how stupefied Gwen looked in the direction of the emergency room.
Gwen came to her senses and looked at Kate.She curled up her lip and coldly retorted, “You should be the one hearing this.”
Her eyes were cold when she looked at Kate.
“Ms.Kate Miller, it’s not a good habit to snatch someone else’s boyfriend.You’ll go to hell if you break a couple’s relationship.”
Kate narrowed her eyes, probably because she never expected Gwen to use the words from the doctor to fight back.
As her gaze darkened, she scoffed, “What? Do you think I was the one who caused you and Luke to break up?”
She smirked.
“Don’t forget that in the very first place, Luke sacrificed his life to save you.It was always his intention to use his life in exchange for yours.Besides, he said if he’s still alive, you’d be the talk of everyone because of him.If he’s dead, then you’d be free.In addition, his heart could always be with you and never be separated.”
She sneered, “Do you think that without the influence from the Hughes family and the Miller family, you and Luke can still be together now? Even without us, he and you will still be apart with one being dead and the other alive, so how dare you say we were the ones who broke you two? This is your fate and his!
“You’re just saying we broke up the two of you because you’re unsatisfied–bitter that Luke didn’t die and become another person.You’re unsatisfied that I can live happily ever after with Steven.You’re jealous of me!”
Gwen laughed.She squinted her eyes and said indifferently, “You’re right.I’m jealous.Do you have a problem with that?”
As she said, she was jealous of Kate.She could not let go of Luke.
Her heart throbbed painfully when she knew Luke’s body was possessed by another person, and that person was in love with Kate, was going to marry Kate, and would have children with her.
Why? Was there anything wrong with her being jealous? She had already lost him.
How could she possibly see his body being used by someone else and do the thing he was reluctant to do? “T’ll find Luke,”vowed Gwen coldly before leaving.
Just after taking a few steps, she remembered something.
Thus, she stopped walking and turned back around to look at the evidently surprised Kate.
“Kate, you said you love Steven.But if you really love him, you should at least take good care of him.At least…”
Her eyes turned in the direction of the emergency room.
“At least, you should take care of him after he was hurt.”,,,
Kate’s eyes flashed with coldness and crossed her arms at her chest.
“You want me to take good care of him? Gwen, do you want to know how Steven got hurt?”
Gwen was startled.
“How did he get hurt?”
“It’s because of you.”
Kate sneered and looked at Gwen.
The image of a vehemently determined Steven during the early morning in the Hughes family residence appeared in Kate’s mind.
“If Gwen Larson came to look for me, then the very least I need to do is to meet with her and clear the air with her,” was what he said.
At that time, Steven’s father wanted to stop him from meeting with Gwen.He did not want Steven to be affiliated or had connections with the people Luke knew.
Thus, he ordered the bodyguard to encircle him in the middle.
A bodyguard took out a military knife to threaten Steven, asking him to calm down and to not meet with Gwen.
Kate knew it was wrong to use violence to stop Steven from meeting Gwen.
Nonetheless, she would use that method too if she was Steven’s father in that situation.
Steven had a phobia of knives, most likely due to the trauma he experienced when he was a kid.He had been scared of knives and similar sharp objects.
To this extent, he did not dare to touch the knife that was identical to the custom-made military knife that Luke had.He just left it in a corner of the house.
Therefore, Steven’s father thought it was the most efficient way to stop Steven.
What he did not anticipate was that the new Steven was far from the gentle Steven from five years ago.He pushed away the people around him with great strength, and amid the struggle, the bodyguard accidentally stabbed him in the waist with the knife.
Steven’s parents panicked and sent him back to his room while calling the family doctor to treat Steven’s wound.
In spite of that, Steven jumped out the window and escaped before the family doctor arrived.
The Hughes family went to look for Steven’s whereabouts through the surveillance camera, but Steven eluded everyone effectively.
After switching his body to Luke’s, Steven’s stamina and anti- reconnaissance capability were on a totally different level from the past.
Fortunately, Kate had installed a tracking app on his phone when Steven found out she was following him.
Otherwise, they would have had a hard time tracking him down.
Having thought of that, the way Kate looked at Gwen became more resentful.She knew the brainwashing and hypnotizing were not as successful as they thought.
The reaction Steven had when he saw Gwen was not right, and so were most of Steven’s habits and alertness.
Therefore, it was important to stop Steven from meeting Gwen.
That was indeed why Kate would take the risk after arranging a truck to create an accident to kill Gwen when she found out the location where Steven asked to meet with Gwen.
In her thought, Steven would return to normalcy as long as Gwen was dead.
All of the abnormalities that Steven had only appeared when he saw Gwen! “Because of me?”
Gwen furrowed her brow, not understanding what Kate was implying.
