Kate‘s instinct told her Luna and Joshua could ruin the plan she had. If Gwen was alone in Saigen City,
she would not be worried much. Now that Joshua and Luna were here too…she had no way of
guaranteeing that Steven and Gwen would not meet!
Gwen would go mad if she saw Steven. Not only was she going to suffer, but Steven would also start to
be suspicious of his life too.
As she thought more of it, Kate took a deep breath. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Mrs. Hughes, is Mr. Hughes at home? Oh, nothing much. Steven told me you guys are asking me to
get married soon…so I was going to ask what you thought about that.”
“Me? Of course, the sooner the better.”
When Gwen left The Spring Resort, she hailed a taxi. Luna and Yannie ran after her and got into the
taxi with Gwen.
“Hi, ladies. Where are you off to today?” the driver asked with a smile.
Gwen took a deep breath. “The dump station at the outskirts of the city.”
The air in the car became still. Even the driver was shocked.
“You…want to go to the dump station?” The driver was puzzled with the question in his mind, ‘Did
these girls, who just came out from The Spring Resort, just say they want to go to the dump station?‘
“Yes.” Gwen bit her lip and said with determination, “I‘m not going to give up. I must find it today.”
Gwen would not be this trouble had it been anything else, but she could not afford to lose the metal
plate on the pendant Luke gave her. The metal plate was engraved with the words, Joined As One
Heart‘.
Until now, Gwen could remember what Luke looked like when he gave the pendant to her. He was
smiling very brightly that day. He pointed at the words and said, “Joined As One Heart. It means you
and I have the same heart.”
At that time, Gwen did not know about her illness nor Luke was about to donate his heart to her. She
thought Luke was just saying nonsense and thus said, “What do you mean, using the
same heart? Are we going to share one body next, too?”
Luke hugged her and kissed her forehead. “It‘s a good idea. That way, I can be with you no matter
where you go in the future…”
Gwen‘s tears could not stop falling down when she thought of the past.
‘Joined As One Heart.‘
If she had known the underlying meaning Luke had, could she have stopped Luke from dying? She
would not need to bear Luke‘s heart in her chest and live meaninglessly and alone.
She submerged herself in sadness and did not notice that when the taxi took off, another taxi came in
from the opposite direction. Steven was in the taxi with two cups of coffee. When the two taxis passed
by each other, Steven suddenly looked into the other taxi and thus saw Gwen‘s beautiful side profile
and tears streaming down her face. At this sight, his heart felt inexplicably hurt. He furrowed his brow
and looked at the taxi from the rearview mirror. ‘Was she crying? Why did she cry?‘ he thought and
sighed. He reached his hand into his pocket and wanted to take out his phone to look at Gwen‘s social
media account. The moment he reached into his pocket, he could feel something flat and metallic.
Fishing out the suspicious item, he then had a look. It was a metal plate engraved with the words,
‘Joined As One Heart.‘
