Chapter 2705


    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 upying 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 n.


    She and Joshua both disagreed with what Rachel had said about the Miller family having switched out


    Luke and Steven‘s brains.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Instead, they were more inclined to believe that Luke was simply brainwashed–or even hypnotized–into


    ‘bing‘ Steven by having his memories and consciousness reced.


    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 oue 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 secondter, she sighed, walked over to Gwen‘s side, and patted her shoulder. “Luna’s n 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, nced 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.”
