Chapter 2557 Despite that, Gwen did not know who the organ donor was. She tried asking the doctor, but the
doctor told her the same answer every time; the information of the donor was confidential and he was not allowed
to tell.
The way Gwen understood it was that it was a rule set by the organ donation association. Thus, she did not ask
further and thought it was a kind anonymous person who donated the organs.
Never did Gwen imagine...that the person who donated the organs was not a terminally ill patient. It was Luke, a
healthy man without any sickness. He wanted her to live so badly that he was willing to give up his life.
Her fingers clenched around the phone in a vice–like grip as tears sprung into her eyes once more.
Neil was the one who left the tapping device that was linked to her phone when he left.

felt lonely being all by herself in the hospital. Mrs. Flores went upstairs to tell the three children that Joshua and Jim
were downstairs and that they had some ‘adult matters‘ to discuss with Luna and Bonnie. Gwen heard that too.
She even laughed during the video call. “What sort of adult matter that you three aren‘t allowed to hear?”
Neil pursed his lips. “I‘m not an adult, so how would I know? Still...” The boy rolled his eyes. “Aunt Gwen, you‘re an
adult. I can‘t listen, but you can. Why don‘t I put a tapping device for you? Then you can tell me what the adults are
talking about.”
Gwen, despite finding Neil‘s intelligence amusing, rejected Neil‘s suggestion. “If they wanted to let me know, they
would‘ve asked me to join the discussion. Since they didn‘t invite me, it means they don‘t want me to know. I‘m not
going to eavesdrop.”
Neil pursed his lips. “Then no one is going to talk to you once I go out to play. Why don‘t we do it this way? I‘ll just
put the tapping device in the corner. If you want to listen to it, you can. If you don‘t, you can just sleep. Deal?”
Gwen turned down Neil‘s offer, but Neil was adamant as he sent her the link to connect to the tapping device.
At first, Gwen did not want to listen in, but mankind had always been curious beings. Furthermore, she was bored
out of her mind in her ward, so she linked up her phone to the tapping device. Guilt consumed her heart when she
listened to their discussion.
The last thing she ever expected to hear was that Luke had died.
It was wrong to eavesdrop, Gwen knew this, but she felt fortunate that she was a person who liked to gossip. That
was how she was able to hear all that information. Otherwise, Luna, Joshua, EhRb_+lK the rest might have kept the
truth from her forever.
Her tears continued to fall like running tap water when she remembered Luke was the one who requested to keep it
from her.

Luke... She wondered how important she, a common girl, was to him. How could she possibly be so important that
he would give up everything, including his life, to save him? Gwen did not dare to think further. The more she did,
the more her heart would ache like it was squeezed by an invisible hand.
Lying down on the bed, she failed to suppress the tears that spilled every time she thought of Luke. That evening,
Luna and Bonnie returned from paying their last respects to Luke before going to visit her.
Luna tried to steel herself from showing unwanted emotions, but...
“What happened?” Luna gasped, startled to see Gwen‘s swollen eyes when she entered the ward.
