Chapter 2523
Bonnie, who had been lying on the bed in silence, furrowed her brow and asked this question.
Luna immediately came to and quickly explained everything to Bonnie.
“Luke is such a great liar. I used to think that she got sick because of her already poor health combined with Luke‘s maltreatment of her. It was only until Dr. Liddell told me the truth that I realized how serious this is…”
The entire room fell silent.
A split second later, Bonnie closed her eyes and sighed. “I guess Luke proved himself once again. In the past, I used to think that there was much more underneath the surface that we didn‘t know of, and that Luke‘s love toward Gwen ran much deeper than what he showed, but…” She lifted her head to stare at Luna. “Are you sure you don‘t want to tell Gwen the truth?
Luna slumped onto a nearby sofa, letting her entire body sink into the soft cushion. “I don’t know.”
She had rushed here immediately after making sure that Gwen was alright.
Luna was worried that she would not be able to put up a good act and would accidentally blurt out the truth in her distracted state.
On one hand, she agreed that hiding the truth from Gwen would be the best thing to do for the time being
After all, Luke had already told her that he and Gwen would never have a future together. He was a gang leader, and Gwen, on the other hand, had a tragic past.
If word got out, rumors would engulf them and easily destroy their relationship. Therefore, leaving Luke was the best choice for Gwen. On the other hand…Luna could not help thinking it would be unfair to Luke to continue hiding this from Gwen.
“Maybe it‘ll be better to tell her the truth after the surgery succeeds and she is recovering well from it.
“If knowing the truth doesn‘t change her mind about leaving Luke, we‘ll help her, and if she chooses to stay with him despite other people‘s opinions…this might turn out to be best for both her and Luke.”
Luna was silent for a long time before finally nodding in agreement. “You‘re right.”
This decision made her feel as though a rock had been lifted off her shoulders. She leaned against the sofa and began to chat with Bonnie about her current state, and in doing so, she could not help lamenting once again just how much turmoil Bonnie and Jim had gone through. Without noticing it, the two of them chatted until the sun went down, and finally, Luna stood up and stretched. “I guess I should be heading home now, I–” Before she could even finish, her phone rang.
It was a call from Yannie.
Yannie wailed in a sobbing voice, “Ms. Luna, you have to believe me; there‘s nothing going on between me and Mr. Lynch!”
