Before Luna could even firtish her sentence, the door to Gwen’s room was flung open.
Gwen stormed out of the room and desperately grabbed Rachel’s hands. “What happened, Dr. Liddell?
Is Steven…”
Tears brimmed in her eyes as she stared earnestly at Rachel. “Is… Is he Luke?”
When she saw the look in Gwen’s eyes, Rachel bit her lip and sighed. Then, she reached out to hold
Gwen’s hand in consolation. “Gwen, why don’t you first tell me how you’re doing?”
Gwen had just received her heart transplant less than two months ago, and Rachel was worried that
Gwen’s heart would not be able to handle the news she had to give.
“I’m doing well.” Gwen bit her lip as tears slid down her cheeks. “Please tell me the truth, Dr. Liddell. I
promise that I can handle it.”
A twinge of pain shot through Luna’s heart at the sight of this. She strode over to them and picked up a
tissue to gently dab at Gwen’s tears. “No matter what happens, Gwen, promise me that you’ll face the
truth, okay?”
Gwen nodded as tears slid down her face, landing on the tissue Luna offered.
Rachel could not help sighing at this. She fixed her gaze on Luna and Gwen, then sighed again. “I’ve
already sent a sample of Steven’s DNA to the DNA Diagnostic Center; the results will be ready
tomorrow. By then…”
She let out an exhale. “We’ll finally be able to know whether Steven is Luke or not. Even though I have
a rough guess myself, I still think we shouldn’t simply come to a conclusion before obtaining concrete
evidence.”
Gwen’s entire body stiffened upon hearing this.
Disappointment flashed across her face, but a split second later, it was replaced with resolution. “You’re
right, Dr. Liddell. You’re a very observant person. A DNA report…will truly be the best proof we can get
of Steven’s true identity.”
The scars and calluses on Steven’s hands could be explained in many ways, but there was no lying
about one’s DNA.
When she finally sensed Gwen calming down, Rachel sighed and said slowly, “However, I ran into a
familiar face just now.”
“Who?”
“Kate.” Rachel curled her lips into a smirk and glanced at Gwen. “Steven came to find me without Kate
or her family’s knowledge, so the place he had brought me to was his private residence.
“However, less than an hour after our arrival, Kate appeared. Not only that, but she behaved even more
aggressively than she had been while working as Luke’s assistant and literally kicked the door down.
“She thought I was Gwen and had come to stop Steven from talking to me and prevent him from
believing anything I said.”
With that, Rachel stood up and added, “I can’t help but suspect that Steven is, in fact, Luke, just based
on her behavior alone. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so desperate to stop Steven from meeting
Gwen at all.
“After all, Steven had never left this city and, therefore, would never have met Gwen, so why was Kate
so worried about them seeing each other?”
Gwen bit her lip and wrung her hands nervously. “Dr. Liddell, what if the DNA report shows that Steven
is actually Luke?
“If that happens, can you explain to me what really happened to Luke to make him this way?
Because…‘
Gwen bit her lip anxiously. “When I interacted with him today, I couldn’t help noticing that his behavior
and even the way he talked was entirely different from how Luke used to…”
