Chapter 2510
Dead silence blanketed the hallway when Rachel posed her question. Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at her. The coldness in his eyes could seemingly freeze the air in that area.
While looking at Rachel, he spoke coldly, “What if I say they‘re not as important as Gwen?”
He had known Gwen before his brothers. Perhaps Gwen did not remember what happened the first time they met, but Luke did. He remembered it all too well.
The smile on Gwen‘s face, her teary eyes, and her hair that fluttered with the breeze because of the wind; he remembered every single detail.
At that time, he just arrived at Sea City without any education and background. He worked in a restaurant as a part–timer. He thought that as long as he was willing to work hard, he would eventually make a good future.
However, things did not turn out the way he thought they would. He spent his day moving bricks on the construction site to earn money. Very often, he was bullied because of his feminine, elegant appearance.
The day he first met Gwen was during a sunny day when he was tormented yet again. He was beaten to the ground by his co–worker and smeared with dirt. At that time, Gwen was only 17 years old. She followed her father for inspection at the construction site. When she saw how he was tormented, she immediately opened the car door and got out of the car.
“Let him go!” yelled the girl dressed in a white dress, her eyebrows pressed together in agitation. A supervisor obsequiously hissed, “Didn‘t you hear? This girl asked all of you to let go of him!”
However, Luke was already beaten so badly that he could not get up from the ground. Through his messed–up fringe, he saw her: clean, gentle, and ethereally elegant.
She squatted and gave him his pink wallet. “There‘s a few hundred bucks in here. Take this and go see a doctor. You‘re too thin. This job doesn‘t suit you. After you get treated, use the remaining money to buy new clothes and change your job.” After that, she stood up and used her clear voice to order the supervisor, “Help him get up on his feet, give him something to eat, Gco({]D{ send him to a hospital.”
The young Gwen turned around and got back into the car. When Luke got on his feet with the help of the supervisor, he saw Gwen‘s gentle back with her long hair. “You‘re damn lucky. This is the first time Ms. Larson came to inspect the construction and probably the last in her life. Not only did you see her, but she even gave you money!” Luke remembered how sarcastic the supervisor was when the supervisor was helping him. Later in the future, he always thought to himself–was he truly in luck at that time? Why else would he have the chance Gwen at the lowest point of his young adult life, and why did he see her again when he was successful and when Gwen needed him the most?
If Gwen did not get down from the car to shield him, Luke would not have become the man he was at present. Thus, he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.
“I don‘t have any more questions.” Rachel smiled when she saw the determination look in Luke‘s eyes. “I just didn‘t expect that you, Luke Jones, the gang leader that rules Merchant City, to be such a loyal and loving man.” Luke glared at Rachel indifferently, “Is it weird?”
“Yes.” Rachel curled up her lips and changed to a more comfortable posture to stand beside Luke. “I always thought that people like you merely give and take what was dealt to you, that your mood decides your decision. As it turns out, your obsession is so strong that you can give up your life.”
“I do think you and the rest of the doctors can accept everything.” Luke glared at Rachel. “What if Theo is in a similar position? If he‘s sick and you‘re the only one who can save him, how will you choose?”
Rachel did not expect Luke to involve her and Theo in the conversation, and her expression hardened. “Mr. Jones, there are things you shouldn‘t simply speak of. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
