Clang!
Joshua squeezed the glass in his hand so harshly that it burst into smithereens. He lifted his head to stare coldly at Mr. Miller." Do you honestly think that Steven is perfect now?"
Joshua had previously thought that 'Steven ' was just Luke, whose memories had been wiped. He never thought the Miller and Hughes families would do something like this!
They had used Steven's heart to save Gwen, then wiped Luke's memories from his mind and instilled Steven's consciousness into Luke’s body, rendering him an entirely different person altogether!
However, Luke was also a member of the Hughes family; the unwanted son they had abandoned as a child!
The only reason they had tracked him down so many years later was because Steven had ended up in a coma. Now that they had extracted Luke's consciousness, all that remained was an empty husk of a human being, a vessel for their beloved Steven.
They loved Steven and even went so far as to change Luke into Steven!
A chill spread through Joshua's entire body at the thought of this. He was outraged by this.
Luke's life had turned out to be such a tragedy.
He had been looked down on and used even until the last moments of his death.
Even though, in the end, he had crawled to the top of the food chain and become a well -feared and well-respected gangster, he failed to protect the woman he loved just because of his past.
In the end, even after Gwen fell ill, he could not protect her at all, and the only solution he could think of was to sacrifice his own life and literally give her his heart.
Little did Luke know, this would not be the death he expected.
The Miller family did not let him die at all and instead wiped all his memories, thus separating his physical form from his consciousness and turning him into someone else.
