Chapter 2222


    Luke nced at the name on the screen, then gestured for Dr. Zachary to go ahead while shuffling to


    one side to pick up the call. “Why are you calling me at this time?”


    “How’re you doing?” asked Joshua in a low voice as soon as the call connected. Luke curled his lips into


    a small smile. “Bonnie got into a car ident, and your mother-inw passed out. Shouldn’t you be


    taking care of them now? “Or perhaps, you should be asking how Gwen is doing, not me.”


    Joshua sighed and replied, “Bonnie has Jim, Rosalyn has Charles, and even Luna is busy taking care of


    the two of them. Gwen…has you, but who do you have?”


    Joshua’s voice was calm as he added, “Who else is asking you how you’re doing, if not me?”


    There was a hint of helplessness in Joshua’s voice.” Are you donating blood to her again?”


    Luke lifted his head to nce at Gwen through the ss, who was receiving a blood transfusion, and


    chuckled. “There doesn’t seem to be a better way. Her condition is deteriorating…and I don’t have much


    time left either.”


    The usual tone of coldness and arrogance in his voice had disappeared and was, at this moment, had


    softened in vulnerability instead.


    Joshua fell silent upon hearing this, then finally replied, “There must be some other way.”


    Rachel, Rosalyn, and Christopher were all greatly aplished people in the field of medicine, and


    apart from them, Joshua had also contacted various prestigious medical institutions across the globe to


    help him.


    He refused to believe that with so many great minds working together, they would not be able to think of


    a better way to cure Gwen’s disease than a heart transnt.


    “It doesn’t matter.” Luke sighed. “She hates me now anyway, and I was kind of hoping I’d be able to save


    her with my life. “I’vemitted many sins throughout my lifetime, and God is punishing me by inflicting


    disease on the woman I love the most. If giving up my life means that she’ll be able to live the rest of her


    life happily and healthily, it doesn’t seem like a bad trade.”


    Joshua did not know how to respond to this. “Luke…


    “Do you know what’s going on now? I’ve climbed to the top of thedder, there’s no way I’d be able to


    wash my hands of this. Even if I retire, someone wille for my life eventually.


    “Even if I live, I’ll be putting Gwen in danger because of her proximity to me, and besides…” He nced


    in Gwen’s direction, smiling bitterly.


    ” She doesn’t like being with me anyway. She likes peace and tranquility.”


    Then, he let out a sigh. “Alright, Joshua, I know you care about me, but you know better than anyone


    how stubborn I am. Once Ie to a decision, there’s nothing you can do to change my mind.


    “You should take care of business on your end.”

    Then, he hung up the phone. Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard the dial tone.


    “Joshua,” all of a sudden, Luna’s anxious voice rang out from behind him. “Have you found out where


    Luke brought Gwen? Why had she vomited blood all of a sudden?”


    Luna had just returned from taking care of Rosalyn and was relieved to know that both Bonnie and


    Rosalyn were going to be okay. However, she heard Charles mention that Gwen, too, had been sent to a


    hospital, so she wanted Joshua to contact Luke for more details.


    Luna’s impression of Luke had turned sour ever since Gwen was recaptured after her attempt to escape


    Luke, and she knew that even if she asked him directly, he would not tell her the truth about Gwen’s


    condition.
