Luna chewed her bottom lip and hugged Gwen’s trembling body.
“It’s fine, It’s fine.
Since you can’t run anymore…let’s stop.” Luna Knew fully well why Gwen was so desperate to escape
from Luke.
It was not only because he had killed Gwen’s fiancé, but there were plenty of other reasons.
For example, he never took notice of Gwen’s preferences and would always fire the servants and maids
she liked.
He would always suspect that Gwen was having an affair with some of his subordinates and would
constantly punish them for this.
On top of that..
He robbed her of her freedom.
Apart from forbidding her from going out, he would sometimes feed her medicine that put her to sleep,
and every time he did this, she would end up sleeping for two days and wake up with fresh hickeys and
bruises all over her body.
Sometimes, Gwen would wake up with rope marks over her wrists and ankles and even needle track
marks on her elbows.
This man was deluded.
Alas, out of sheer rotten luck, Gwen just so happened to get involved with him, and it was too late to
escape.
Gwen would never be able to go back to being an ordinary girl.
In the past, Gwen constantly wanted to change her fate and was never satisfied with being ordinary, but
after she met Luke, she suddenly realized that to be ordinary was the greatest blessing there could ever
b “Luna…” Gwen cried in Luna’s arms for a long time before her sobs turned into sniffles.
She lifted her head to stare at Luna, her eyes etched with despair.
“I’ve been planning this escape plan for an entire night and even mapped out my route… “This morning, I
watched with my own two eyes as Luke got into the car and left.
“I had placed a tracker on his car, and after confirming that he had left Merchant City, I only started
moving…” She wiped the tears from her eyes and continued moro sely, “I thought I was so stealthy that
he wouldn’t b e able to find me.” Gwen let out a bitter chuckle and lifted her head to stare at Luna once
more.
“The only person who knows I was planning to escape was you, but I know you’d never betray me.
I don’t understand how he could’ve…” A twinge of pain shot through Luna’s heart when she heard this.
She was just about to comfort Gwen when suddenly, her phone rang again.
Luna frowned and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Joshua again.
She was a little annoyed by this.
Was he not with Bonnie? Had Bonnie not told him she would return home as soon as she finished
dealing with… As soon as she thought of this, Luna’s entire body froze.
She was not the only person who knew of Gwen’s plans to escape.
When Gwen had called her, she never mentioned that she was trying to escape from Luke, and because
o f this, Luna never suspected anything.
Instead, she had been under the impression that Luke was about to bring Gwen somewhere, and she
wanted to give Luna something before her departure.
After all, a similar event had happened before.
At that time, Luna was even puzzled as to why Luke would board a bus at such a dingy, run-down
station, knowing how well he usually treated himself and Gwen.
Therefore, when Bonnie called her, Luna did not hide that she was waiting for Gwen at the station.
However, on second thought… At that time, Bonnie had been together with Joshua and had even called
her using Lucas’ phone.
Joshua was Luke’s best friend.
Luna could not help but have a bad feeling about this.
Her body started to tremble, too.
A split second later, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms tightly around Gwen’s trembling body.”
Gwen, now that you’ve been found, there’s nothing else you can do other than go home with Luke.
…” Luna sniffed and continued, “I’ll help you escape as soon as I finish dealing with everything, okay?”
She owed Gwen this much.
Gwen bit her lip and shook her head.
“I don’t want to get you involved in this.
“Luke is a malicious, merciless man, and if you help me escape, I’m worried he will harm you…” With
that, she sniffed, lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and forced out a smile.
“It’s okay.
I just have to put up with him, don’t I? “I’ve been doing this for more than a year now, and it doesn’t
matter if I have to wait a little longer.
“Besides, even though he never gives me freedom and even treats me like a toy, he still…” Gwen smiled
and pointed at her own face.
