She had spent the entire afternoon clutching the metal plate in her hands, staring at it. The Spring
Resort began to get busy toward the evening, and eventually, Gwen‘s alone time was disrupted, so she
had no choice but to leave.
As she walked along the road and the wind swept past her, she could not help being reminded of Luke.
Not only that, but she could not help recalling all the people who had helped her look for her pendant.
Luna, Yannie, Thomas…
All of them cared about her. Gwen closed her eyes, and a weak smile crept to her face as she trudged
through the snow. She knew she had been troubling everyone around her since Luke‘s death. She was
the reason Luke was dead, and therefore, she was the only one who deserved the bad things.
However, she had been troubling people left and right since waking up from her surgery.
Not only Luna and Joshua, but Bonnie, Jim, Yannie, and Thomas too.
When she saw how Lucas and his men fervently rummaged through the piles of garbage in search of
her pendant, Gwen finally realized just how selfish she had been.
She had caused everyone so much trouble because of her grief. If it were not for her, Luna would
probably be at home with the three children at this moment or perhaps continuing her search for her
lost daughter.
Just for her, Luna was forced to accompany her in this cold, desolate place while she grieved her loss.
Gwen could not stop her tears from falling at the thought of this. She lifted her head to gaze at the night
sky as silent tears slid down her cheeks.
‘Luke. I‘m sorry, but this is the furthest I can go. I can‘t continue being like this any longer.
‘I can‘t become other people‘s burden, but neither can I stop missing you. I guess the only solution…is
to go find you.‘ At the thought of this, Gwen could not help letting out a bitter chuckle. The truth was,
she had yet to visit Luke‘s grave since his death. Perhaps she should visit his grave and seek
forgiveness before joining him. Otherwise, she was worried that he would be so outraged at her that he
would refuse to see her in the next life.
After contemplating for a while, Gwen hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel.
Inside the hotel room, Luna paced the room nervously as she dialed Gwen‘s number over and over.
Every call was met with the operator‘s cold, robotic voice, declaring that the number was unavailable.
All of a sudden, the door creaked open.
Luna quickly turned around. Gwen was standing behind her in a white parka, grinning at her. “Are you
trying to call me? Sorry. My phone ran out of battery.”
“I was worried sick!” Luna bit her lip, shot Gwen a murderous look, and finally leaped toward Gwen to
pull her into a hug. “I thought something terrible happened to you!”
“What could‘ve happened?” Gwen smiled, clutching Luna warmly, as a wave of sadness swept through
her.
She…had troubled Luna so much more than she had imagined. “Lulu,” Gwen said as she buried her
head in Luna‘s arms. “I want to go home.”
