"What's wrong?"
Gwen sniffed and quickly shifted her gaze away, unwilling to meet Luke's gaze. "I just suddenly remembered something.
"To you, I'm not someone worthy of your time, too, so why do you still want to keep me?"
Luke's frown grew even deeper upon hearing Gwen's words.
A split second later, he pulled Gwen closer t o his body so forcefully that it was as though he would break her like a porcelain doll. "You’re worth it; you're the only thing i n my life that's worth my time."
Gwen closed her eyes as she let the feeling of being suffocated by Luke's embrace envelope her.
Was she?
Luke had said before that anyone he did not love was unworthy of his time.
At this moment, Gwen had finally confirmed a thought she had been having for a while.
She did not love Luke.
Not even a little bit.
"Are you okay, Jim?"
Meanwhile, inside the pantry, Charlotte leaped forward to clutch Jim's blistered palm and sobbed, "I'll ask the butler to summon a doctor right now! Hold on, Jim!"
With that, she quickly got up and sprinted t o the door.
When she passed by Luna, Charlotte shot her a murderous glare and snapped, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Gwen wouldn't have gotten hurt, and neither would Jim. You doomed us all, you bitch!"
With that, she strode out of the room and disappeared.
