Chapter 2839
Steven was stunned to hear Gwen’s offer. He never thought she would willingly aid him to rescue Denise without the slightest hesitation. He assumed that she would hate
Denise, what with being good friends with Luna and Yannie. She must have known the things Denise did.
Gwen smiled as though she could read Steven’s mind. “Is it that hard to believe I want to do a good thing?
Flustered, Steven shook his head. “I don’t mean that. I..”

“You know, Denise talked a lot about you yesterday.” Seeing how Steven was visibly struggling to reply, Gwen curled up her lips and smiled. “I know Denise isn’t really a bad
person.”
That sentence shocked Steven. After a while, he curled up his lips and smiled bitterly. He stood up and walked outside as he took his jacket.
Sighing, he said, “I thought you were like the others and assumed Denise is a horrendous character. What did you two talk about?”
Gwen stood up and walked with him. “Denise said…maybe you’re the last person in this world who truly cared for her. She even said…”
She paused for a while before deciding to tell Steven everything Denise said to her. “She said she doesn’t want you to become Luke and doesn’t want to see you disappear
from this world. Also…”
She sniffed and gazed into the distance. “Everyone, including me, only cares about Luke and forgot that you, Steven, are a person too–someone with his own life. He’s a real
person who shares an existence in this world too. There are people who miss him and the people whom he misses too.”
After that, she looked to the side to look at Steven. “I know that you’re thinking of consulting the doctor to help me get Luke back, but that’s not necessary. I think Denise has
her point too. I shouldn’t blame you for what happened to Luke. There are people who miss you too. I shouldn’t destroy everything about you just because I miss Luke.”
Steven was taken aback by her confession. He looked at Gwen with eyes widened as he found it hard to believe what he heard.
After spending a few days with Gwen, he thought he finally understood Gwen’s personality–a woman who would do anything for the man she loved.

It was at this moment, however, that he realized he did not understand Gwen as much as he thought he did upon hearing her confession.
Maybe he underestimated her instead.
He thought Luke was all she cared about, not knowing Gwen would think like this and feel sorry for him because he had taken Luke’s body after hearing what Denise said.
With those thoughts in mind, he said, “Actually…I’m fine.”
He knew he should have died five years ago. It was more than enough for him after being in a vegetative state for five years and waking up in Luke’s body five years later. As
a person who should have passed away, he should never interfere with, or be in the way of, other people’s relationships.
Gwen paused as she looked into Steven’s sincere eyes. She did not want to continue with this topic.
“So what should we do now? Do you have any ideas on how to rescue Denise?”
