Chapter 2222 Luke glanced at the name on the screen, then gestured for Dr. Zachary to go ahead while shuffling
to one side to pick up the call. “Why are you calling me at this time?”
“How’re you doing?” asked Joshua in a low voice as soon as the call connected. Luke curled his lips into a small
smile. “Bonnie got into a car accident, and your mother-in-law passed out. Shouldn’t you be taking care of them
now? “Or perhaps, you should be asking how Gwen is doing, not me.”
Joshua sighed and replied, “Bonnie has Jim, Rosalyn has Charles, and even Luna is busy taking care of the two of
them. Gwen…has you, but who do you have?”
Joshua’s voice was calm as he added, “Who else is asking you how you’re doing, if not me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a hint of helplessness in Joshua’s voice.” Are you donating blood to her again?”
Luke lifted his head to glance at Gwen through the glass, who was receiving a blood transfusion, and chuckled.
“There doesn’t seem to be a better way. Her condition is deteriorating…and I don’t have much time left either.”
The usual tone of coldness and arrogance in his voice had disappeared and was, at this moment, had softened in
vulnerability instead.
Joshua fell silent upon hearing this, then finally replied, “There must be some other way.”
Rachel, Rosalyn, and Christopher were all greatly accomplished people in the field of medicine, and apart from
them, Joshua had also contacted various prestigious medical institutions across the globe to help him.
He refused to believe that with so many great minds working together, they would not be able to think of a better
way to cure Gwen’s disease than a heart transplant.
“It doesn’t matter.” Luke sighed. “She hates me now anyway, and I was kind of hoping I’d be able to save her with
my life. “I’ve committed many sins throughout my lifetime, and God is punishing me by inflicting disease on the
woman I love the most. If giving up my life means that she’ll be able to live the rest of her life happily and healthily,
it doesn’t seem like a bad trade.”
Joshua did not know how to respond to this. “Luke…
“Do you know what’s going on now? I’ve climbed to the top of the ladder, E]{F*B&N there’s no way I’d be able to
wash my hands of this. Even if I retire,
someone will come for my life eventually. “Even if I live, I’ll be putting Gwen in danger because of her proximity to
me, and besides…” He glanced in Gwen’s direction, smiling bitterly.” She doesn’t like being with me anyway. She
likes peace and tranquility.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he let out a sigh. “Alright, Joshua, I know you care about me, but you know better than anyone how stubborn I
am. Once I come to a decision,
there’s nothing you can do to change my mind.
“You should take care of business on your end.”
Then, he hung up the phone. Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard the dial tone.
“Joshua,” all of a sudden, Luna’s anxious voice rang out from behind him. “Have you found out where Luke brought
Gwen? Why had she vomited blood all of a sudden?”
TUT
Luna had just returned from taking care of Rosalyn and was relieved to know that both Bonnie and Rosalyn were
going to be okay. However, she heard Charles mention that Gwen, too, had been sent to a hospital, so she wanted
Joshua to contact Luke for more details.
Luna’s impression of Luke had turned sour ever since Gwen was recaptured after her attempt to escape Luke, and
she knew that even if she asked him directly, he would not tell her the truth about Gwen’s condition.
