Seeing how no one responded, Alice got even bolder.
She furrowed her brows and looked at Andy. “Uncle Andy, where is Ben?“
Andy lifted his head. He looked at her. His lips quivered but he could not find his words.
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Alice. His voice was cold. “Alice, stop talking.“
Only then did Alice exercise a little restraint. “I’m only concerned. After all, such a huge thing happened
to Gwen, it’s not right that Ben is not here.“
Luna leaned back on the chair. Her mind kept replaying the scene where she was drinking with Gwen
the night before.
From the beginning, Luna was the one that offended the Walter family. She was the one who made
Hailey jump off the building and the one who aggravated Old Mr. Walter.
Why did they want to do that to Gwen then? Gwen did not even do anything.
She did not even mention the Walter family’s name during the press conference.
Even if she was Gwen’s friend, they did not have to capture her and treat her that way, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna could not figure it out. She was baffled.
After a long time, the door of the emergency room was opened.
Gwen, who was covered in injuries, was pushed out by the doctors.
“She is not in any danger anymore. It’s basically superficial injuries. There are no internal injuries of the
organs or tendons.“
The doctor adjusted his spectacles. “But, she suffered a concussion as a result of a blow to the brain.
She might lose some of her most recent memories.“
Luna bit her lips and immediately flung herself by the side of Gwen’s bed.
Gwen was lying on the bed. The blood has been cleaned off her face. However, the bruises and a
swollen, red handprint could be seen clearly.
Luna bit her lips while holding back the pain that churned through her heart. She reached out and pried
open Gwen’s sleeve and collar.
As expected.
Her arm, neck, and chest were covered in large patches of bruises and strangle marks.
It was as if they truly wanted her dead. Every injury was so serious it was as if they wanted to break
Gwen’s bones.
Luna sobbed, “Gwennie, I’m so sorry…“
If she was not rescued by Joshua the night before, perhaps Gwen would not have had to suffer this.
If she did not reconcile with Gwen when she came back to Sea City this time but she maintained her
distance instead, perhaps Gwen would not have ended up this way.
The more Luna thought, the more she blamed herself and the more disappointed she got.
In the end, Gwen slowly reached her hand out and gently put Luna’s hair behind her ear. “I’m fine.
What are you crying for? You look the ugliest when you cry.“
Just by these two sentences, Luna could no longer hold back her emotions.
Her tears fell like a flood. Luna grabbed Gwen’s wrist. “Gwennie…“
Luna cried until even the doctor next to her was a little moved, “It’s only superficial injuries. She’ll be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwell within a month. Don’t be so sad.“
In the end, the doctor helped Luna up from the side of the bed. “We have to send the patient back to
the ward.“
Luna bit her lips. She was about to say something when the elevator in the distance opened.
A travel-worn Ben came out from the elevator.
“Ben! “
Andy’s eyes sparkled immediately.
“I knew you wouldn’t abandon Gwennie! “
Upon hearing her father calling after Ben, Gwen pushed her body up feebly, wanting to sit up. “Ben…“
Ben furrowed his brows and slowly walked over to the pale Gwen. “Are you alright?“
Gwen looked at him. Her eyes were filled with hope and tenderness. ”I’m fine. Ben, thank you for
coining. I knew that you would… ”
”If you’re alright , ” Ben coldly interrupted her. He took out the divorce papers from his pocket and
placed them in front of Gwen.
”Sign them.”
