Chapter 2222
Luke glanced 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 accident, and your mother-in-law 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 glance at Gwen through the glass, 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 accomplished 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 transplant.
“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.
