At ten in the morning, in Merchant City's Central Hospital, two surgeries were conducted at the same
time.
One was an organ transplant surgery for Gwen.
The other was the removal of organs from Luke.
Joshua and Jim stayed outside Luke's surgery room with a heavy expression on their faces.
The most helpless thing in the world was to helplessly sit and watch one's friend dying.
They could not stop Luke from trying to save Gwen, and neither could they wipe away his deep feelings
for Gwen.
The only thing they could do was wait for his lifeless body to be wheeled out and give him a proper
burial.
"If only Luke had a twin brother," muttered Jim while leaning against the chair.
If Luke had a twin brother, would his twin brother's organ be a successful match with Gwen's, too?
Could it be...
Joshua turned and swept him a cold gaze.
"What does it matter if he has a twin brother? Are you planning to get Luke to convince his twin brother
to die for the woman that he loves, just so that he could be with her?"
Jim was taken aback by Joshua's words.
After a while, he lowered his head.
"I'm sorry.I was overthinking things."
It was because he missed Luke that he spoke out of line.
Joshua sighed and said nothing as he stared at the door to the surgery room.He knew Jim bore no ill
intent with his words.He, too, was heartbroken for Luke.
They would have never let Luke die like this if they had any other alternatives.
Alas, countless research led them to dead ends.
Gwen was the light of Luke's life.She was the woman he loved and revered the most in his entire life,
so they could not stop Luke from sacrificing himself.
The best they could and should do was to respect his wish.
"I hope that Gwen won't be sick in their next life and that Luke...won't be so miserable," Jim said after a
moment.
Joshua closed his eyes and chuckled bitterly.
"I hope so too." The surgery went on for almost 10 hours.
By the evening, Gwen was wheeled out of the surgery room.
When Gwen came out, Joshua and Jim had already dealt with Luke's body.They accompanied Luna
Bonnie to wait for Gwen outside her surgery room.
"There she is!"
Seeing the doors open, Luna was the first one to rush over and immediately held the doctor's hand.
"How was it? Gwen..."
The doctor took off his mask as if a heavy burden had been lifted.He smiled and looked at Luna.
"Everything went smoothly."
"It's a success. All she needs to do is rest and recuperate."
At the same time, Gwen was pushed out of the room by a few medical officers.
"Gwen!" Bonnie excitedly got Jim to push her wheelchair over.
" How are you feeling now?"
Gwen was already conscious at this point.
Still, she was so frail as if she was made of paper.
Hearing Bonnie's voice, Gwen feebly looked up and forced a smile at Bonnie.
"I feel alright..."
Then, she scanned her surroundings with difficulty as if looking for someone.
After a while, she finally realized that outside the surgery room, there was only Luna, Joshua, Bonnie,
and Jim.
Luke did not return.
Neither did Kate nor his men.A sense of despair enveloped her.
However, she refused to believe this…She bit her lip and looked at Luna.
