Luna was worried that she would blurt out the truth by accident and ruin Joshua‘s plan.
All of a sudden, Gwen noticed that Bonnie‘s eyebrows were scrunched into a frown, and her head was
beginning to sag to one side. It seemed that she would wake up at any time!
There were only 30 minutes left until the stipulated time of her awakening, but it was possible that she
would wake up early.
On top of that, she probably heard Jim‘s confession, too.
Gwen pursed her lips, tugged Jim away in determination, and wheeled Bonnie past him.
“Mr. Landry, it‘ll only take ten minutes to get changed, and if you want to pour your heart out to her, you
can do so at the wedding. Please change into your tuxedo now, and you can give any lovey–dovey,
disgusting confession you want at the wedding ceremony.”
Then, she glanced at Luna and said, “Let‘s go, Luna.”
Luna immediately came to and helped Gwen wheel Bonnie into the changing room.
“We almost gave it away.” Luna slumped against the door as soon as she entered the room and heaved
a deep sigh.
Gwen, on the other hand, curled her lips into a smile as she straightened Bonnie‘s dress. “I never knew
how much your brother loved Bonnie.”
Then, she hung the dress up and helped Luna take Bonnie‘s clothes off.
“Thank God Bonnie‘s death is just a lie. If it was true, I can‘t bear to see the pain that your brother has to
go through.”
With that, she let out a bitter smile and added, “I don‘t even know if Luke will be just as miserable as Jim
is when I leave. Will he cry and beg me not to go?”
Luna, who was changing Bonnie into her dress, froze when she heard this. A split second later, she lifted
her head to stare at Gwen. “You... Do you want Luke to be that upset, or you don‘t?”
Gwen hesitated for a moment, then chuckled. “I hope so, but at the same time, I don‘t.
“I want to see him so sad because I want to know that he loves me as much as I love you, but at the
same time, I don‘t want that. I know that even if he begged me to stay, I‘ll stand by my choice and
leave.”
Luna let out a sigh but did not reply.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Luke had reached out and was about to knock on the door when he
overheard this conversation. A split second later, he drew his arm back and curled his lips into a bitter
smile.
Gwen had said that even if he begged her, she would still leave. It was the same for him, was it not?
Even if she begged him not to, he still wanted to sacrifice his life in exchange for hers.
His job and background were such a burden to her that he was willing to give them up.
However, as soon as one entered the dark world of the mob, the only way to leave was...as a corpse.
Since dying could both save Gwen and release him from the environment she hated the most...he would
have no regrets.
Just as he fell into deep thought, the door was flung open from inside.
The person who opened the door was Gwen. She did not expect to see someone standing outside the
door, so she immediately erupted into a high pitched scream.
Luke was also startled by her voice, and after a split second, he gently patted her shoulder, frowning.
” Hey, it‘s me.”
Gwen finally came to and shot him a disapproving glance.
“What‘re you doing here?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she suddenly recalled the words she had spoken to Luna just
seconds before opening the door... She furrowed her eyebrows, “Did… Did you hear anything just now?”
