"I'm fine." Gwen sniffled. She raised her head to look at Luna with a faint smile on her face. "The nurse accidentally hurt me when she came to give me an injection."
Lima furrowed her brow warily. It was difficult for her to believe Gwen would cry like a baby just because she felt pain during an injection. She knew how strong Gwen was.
Over the past month, Gwen was required to have special medicine injected into her body after the transplant surgery.
According to the doctor, many patients would rather kill themselves due to the pain they suffered when the medicine was injected into them.
Luna was worried Gwen could not handle the pain, but surprisingly, Gwen silently took it all like a champ, not even emitting a groan upon the injection. She barely reacted when the needle pricked her skin. The doctor and nurse even wondered if they had given the wrong medicine to Gwen.
Luna remembered how when the injection was over, the doctor pulled Luna to the side and asked if something was wrong with Gwen's nerves. It worried Luna so much that she found several doctors to check on Gwen. In the end, they realized Gwen could feel the pain, but her pain tolerance was strong.
That was why Luna did not believe it when Gwen told her she cried so much that her eyes became swollen because the injection from the morning was too painful.
Bonnie, on the other hand, sighed and walked over to hold Gwen's hand lightly." You... Were you thinking about Luke?"
Gwen’s tears came rushing out of her once more when she heard Bonnie mention Luke's name. She had been trying hard to hold it in. She knew she should have acted calm by not crying and looking devastated so that Bonnie and Luna would not realize something was wrong.
Since Luke had requested everyone to keep the secret from her, she could not possibly let them know she knew the truth. After all, Luke wanted everyone to tell her, when she got better, that he was killed in an ambush during a fight for territory with another gang in Sea City. Hence, in her mind, she should wait for that day to come.
