"Lulu, is there...any news?"
Before undergoing her surgery, Gwen passed her phone to Luna, asking her to keep an eye on it. She was worried that she would not be able to answer Luke's call, fearing that he would be worried about her.
Looking at Gwen's hopeful gaze, Luna could not help but look away, not daring to look her in the eye. "No. Luke...is probably busy."
He did not call nor send a message.
Little did Luna know...Luke was already buried, alone in a grave. She thought that Luke had simply gone to Sea City to deal with his business and wanted to give Gwen a chance to leave, so he did not contact her.
She did not want to disappoint Gwen, so she could not help but add, "He should contact you after he finishes his business." "Hopefully." Gwen shut her eyes in despair, letting the wheel push her back to her ward as she felt her heart turning cold.
Somehow, she could feel that Luke might never return. He might never look for her again.
To him, maybe she was not important.
Perhaps she had been overthinking after all.
Seeing how sad Gwen looked, Luna sniffled, turned, and leaned in Joshua's arms. She bitterly spoke, "Say, do you think Luke will still return to see her?"
She felt that even if Luke did not want Gwen to see him anymore, he would surely secretly return to see her because of how much he cared about her, right?
Alas, he did not.
The following month, Luke never returned nor appeared once.
Gwen's body got better day by day, but the despair in her eyes only grew.
Despite trying to comfort Gwen, Luna, too, started to believe that Luke did not like
Gwen as much as he said he did.
If he truly liked her, why did he not return once or even just give Joshua or Jim a call to ask about her?
