The car soon arrived at the hospital.
Because of the call the driver had made on the way to the hospital, Dr. Zachary and the rest of the
hospital staff had expected their arrival and readily waited for them at the entrance.
Dr. Zachary furrowed his brows when he saw Gwen.” How many times has it been already for this
month? Mr. Jones, her condition seems to be deteriorating very fast. Has she been going through
emotional turmoil lately?”
Luke furrowed his brows as he pondered this. “I don’t think so. The worst she’s been through is probably
today…” Gwen had gotten a nasty shock when she saw Bonnie’s crash minutes ago, but apart from this,
she was always cheerful and thus did not have much emotional turmoil at all.
“Are you sure?” Dr. Zachary furrowed his eyebrows as he started examining Gwen and said with a hint of
questioning, “I can’t help but notice that her condition is entirely different from what you just described to
me…”
All of a sudden, Gwen started murmuring again.” Luke… I hate you, I hate you more than anything…
“I’m miserable when I’m with you…and I’ve been faking being happy around you…”
The entire room fell silent at this.
Luke furrowed his brows and glanced at Gwen.
If it were not for the fact that he had witnessed this too many times, he would have started to suspect
that Gwen had faked passing out to deliberately say this about him.
It was too much of a coincidence.
Dr. Zachary lifted his head to shoot Luke a perplexed look.
“Is this what you think? You don’t agree that she’s been through emotional turmoil?” He sighed and
continued, “I can tell that she’s been severely depressed for a while now, and the key to controlling her
illness is first alleviating her depressive symptoms. ..
“Otherwise, she won’t be able to survive just on your blood transfusions.”
Then, he glanced at Luke once more and added,” You’ve transfused blood to her three times this month
already, and today will be the fourth. Your body won’t be able to handle this anymore.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Luke curled his lips into a smile pulled his sleeve up to reveal his pale, muscular arm.
“Let’s start right now.”
Dr. Zachary sighed and shook his head as he led Luke to the blood transfusion room. “Just look at you;
you’re getting paler and paler because of all the blood you’ve donated to her.
“If one didn’t know this, they’d think you had undergone some sort of illegal skin bleaching procedure.”
Luke smiled in return. “I don’t care what anyone thinks.”
He would do anything to make sure Gwen was fine.
Dr. Zachary smiled and said, “I don’t know what Ms. Larson did to deserve such a kind and selfless man
like you.”
To this, Luke smiled wordlessly.
He turned around to stare at Gwen, who was surrounded by a group of nurses, through the glass
window.
“That’s because she’s the most special person in my life.”
Luke did not know if he and Gwen were meant to be. He was starting to think that they were not.
If their paths had meant to cross, he would have – been Gwen’s first.
Or, perhaps, if they had been fated to be together, he would have met her before she was assaulted by.
all those men.
If he had met her earlier, she would not have ended up with the wrong guy and suffered her ill fate.
If they were meant to be, Gwen would not have suffered severe health consequences from her previous
injury and contracted a rare illness that required frequent blood transfusions. On the flip side, in some
ways, they were perfect for each other.
