Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2542

Upon hearing Luke's words, the light in Gwen's eyes vanished. She bit her lip and looked at Luke hesitantly. "You... Must you go today? Can't you get your men to—"

"No," Luke coldly interrupted her once more. He sounded so aloof that it did not seem like him. "It's only a surgery. You’ve gone through many surgeries in the past year. Be good."

Upon hearing his words, Gwen subconsciously looked up at him.

Something was wrong with Luke, and she could feel it. He was hiding something.

Luke never talked to her like that before. Any given time she expressed her fear about a coming surgery, even if he could not be with him, he would patiently hug

her and reassure her.

Despite his possessive nature toward her, he always tried ways to make her stay by his side. In the past year, he treated her quite gently.

His sudden change in character baffled her.

"Did...something serious happen in Sea City?"

Gwen, who did not even know about her condition at that moment, did not know the struggle Luke was battling on his own. She even did not know Luke's plan. All she thought was that the gang in Sea City must have been in serious trouble; so much trouble that Luke had no time to be with her.

Gwen's worried gaze made Luke's heart sink.

He took a deep breath and fed her some oatmeal porridge.

"It’s very serious, so..." Luke did not dare to look at her. "You take care. I...might be going for a long time this time."

Gwen paused for a while before nodding seriously after a while.
