Gwen‘s entire body froze when she heard this. She turned to stare dazedly at Luna, then at Rachel
Finally, she bit her lip and sat on the edge of Rachel‘s bed. “I can‘t do it.” If she had not known about
what happened to Luke and Steven, she would have wanted to treat Steven as though he were Luke
and attempt to restore his ‘memories‘ of her. However, after finding out the truth, she could no longer
bring herself to do this. The thought of Steven occupying Luke‘s body without his permission and
causing Luke‘s consciousness to cease its existence…disgusted her so much that she could not look
at him the same way again.
If Steven was to materialize in front of her, she would probably kill him. Under these circumstances, she
could not bring herself to pretend Steven was Luke as though nothing had happened. She could not do
it! “Gwen..” Luna bit her lip and grabbed hold of Gwen‘s arm, intending to say something, but no words
came out.
She had talked about this with Joshua the night before.
As Gwen‘s best friend, Luna could never turn a cheek to all this, but even after talking with Joshua the
whole night, neither of them managed to devise a plan.
She and Joshua both disagreed with what Rachel had said about the Miller family having switched out
Luke and Steven‘s brains.
Instead, they were more inclined to believe that Luke was simply brainwashed–or even hypnotized–into
‘becoming‘ Steven by having his memories and consciousness replaced.
Therefore, they agreed that Luke would eventually return if they tried hard enough to bring him back.
However, none of them decided to tell Gwen this.
She had already been through too much, and they did not want to give her any more false hope. If this
false hope were to end in disappointment, Gwen would not be able to take this.
However, at the same time, if they chose not to tell Gwen anything, Gwen would not want to get close
to Steven, and they would never have a way of ‘bringing‘ Luke back anymore. Therefore, after a
lengthy discussion, Luna and Joshua decided that they would tell Gwen a modified version of the truth.
They would tell Gwen that in order to avenge Luke‘s death, she had to get close to Steven under the
pretense of restoring his old memories.
If Luke were to return, it would be the best outcome that could happen, but if he did not, it would also
prevent Gwen from being disappointed.
Rachel furrowed her brow as she observed Luna.
A split second later, she sighed, walked over to Gwen‘s side, and patted her shoulder. “Luna’s plan is
the best one we have yet, so you have to at least try. “Pretending that Steven is Luke and lying to him
about helping him restore his memories is indeed the best way to let the Miller and Hughes families‘
guards down. “Besides, I‘ve read through Steven‘s personal file, and I can safely say that he might
even be willing to help us.”
After hearing this, Gwen bit her lip, glanced at Luna, and finally nodded. “Alright, then.”
She would do anything for Luke!
Luna let out a sigh of relief, and she was just about to say something else when Gwen‘s phone
suddenly rang
It was a number she did not recognize.
Gwen furrowed her brow, staring dubiously at this number with Saigen City‘s area code.
She did not have any friends here that would call her at this time.
Could it be Yannie?
It could not be. She and Yannie were not that close, and Yannie would be more likely to call Luna
instead.
At the thought of this, Gwen furrowed her brow and picked up the call. “Hello?” “Hi, it‘s Steven,” a low,
polite voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Gwen, I need to talk to you.”
