Kate froze when she heard this.
A split second later, she lifted her head, staring right into Steven‘s searching gaze, and bit her lip
nervously. “What are you trying to say, Steven? Do you not trust me?” Steven chuckled when he saw
how Kate tried to deflect responsibility. “You‘re the one who didn‘t trust me in the first place.”
Steven never thought that his fiancee would secretly track his every move.
If she had not, how could she have discovered the address of his private residence, much less know
that he had brought a woman home from the airport?
Steven did not remember much about his first impression of Kate. Although he had known since he
was young that the Hughes and Miller families were close and had a marriage agreement, he never
cared much about these customs.
However, when he awoke after five years of being in a coma, everyone told him that he and Kate had
gotten engaged prior to his accident. Not only that, but his parents also emphasized how much Kate
had sacrificed for him during the past five years.
Therefore, Steven had always been inclined to think that Kate was a kind and loving woman who was
utterly devoted to him.
The few times he came across Gwen and developed feelings for her, he would thereafter be overcome
by his guilt and feel that he was betraying Kate, but at this moment…
Staring at the woman before him, Steven suddenly realized just how foreign she seemed.
He could not believe that Kate, the fiancee that loved him above all else, was secretly following him all
along!
“It‘s not that I don‘t trust you, Steven!” Kate wrapped her arms tightly around his body. “I was worried
that something bad would happen to you because…”
She bit her lip and said, “I love you, I really do, and I don‘t ever want to lose you again, so I…”
“Is that so?” Steven gently pried her hands away and plopped down in the nearest seat.” You‘re doing
this because you love me?” He lifted his head to stare coldly at Kate. “If you do, why have you never
seemed bothered by the fact that I frequently have headaches and nightmares?” He narrowed his
eyes. “What have you done to me when I was in my coma, Kate?”
Kate‘s entire body stiffened upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously, her whole body frozen in
stupor. “Steven… Did… What did Rachel tell you just now? Please don‘t believe her! She‘s not telling
the truth!” Kate lunged forward, got onto one knee, and grabbed hold of Steven‘s hand in desperation.”
Steven, we‘re about to get married soon; I should be the person you trust. Please don‘t believe in what
other people say to you, alright?” Tears brimmed in her eyes as she wailed, “Please, Steven, can you
trust me?”
She had already sacrificed so much for him; she could not possibly lose him at this juncture!
If Steven regained all of Luke‘s memories, it would not be something as simple as losing Luke.
Steven had already donated his heart to Gwen, and if the man before her was no longer Steven, this
meant that the real Steven would cease to exist.
If that happened, the Hughes family would want someone to bear the brunt of this responsibility, and
the Miller family would have to pay the price!
She had to stop this from happening at all costs! At the thought of this, tears began to slide down
Kate‘s face. “Steven, I‘ve been waiting for you for five years and sacrificed so much for you! Do you
have any idea what other people have done for you during this time?” Steven lowered his head to stare
at the kneeling woman before him, and a twinge of pain shot through his heart.
Kate was right; she had sacrificed so much and put in so much effort to help him awake from his coma,
and the last thing he should have done…was to question her motives. Perhaps she had been telling
the truth.
