The Hughes and Miller families could have allowed Luke to return to his family after donating Steven’s organs to Gwen.
As Luke's friend, Joshua knew that apart from being a skilled fighter, Luke was also a smart man that could easily pick up running a business.
Even if the Miller and Hughes families did not want to choose this option, they could have helped Luke find alternative solutions to cure Gwen so that they would not need to sacrifice Steven at all!
However, they chose not to.
They had planned to take Luke's life and render him a container for Steven's mind since the start.
This was why they had sent Kate to Merchant City to keep an eye on Luke. This was why Kate's feelings toward Luke had always appeared fleeting and ambiguous.
Sometimes, she would appear to be head over heels for Luke, but other times, Joshua could not help thinking that she was cold and indifferent toward him.
This was because Kate had never loved Luke at all; the only thing she loved about him was his face.
The face that was identical to Steven's.
At the thought of this, Joshua narrowed his eyes and turned to stare at Mr. Miller." What if I want to turn Steven back into
Luke?"
Mr. Miller lowered his head. "That's not possible, Mr. Lynch. I know you miss your friend and long for him to return, but..." He sighed. "There's no way we can do that, just as there's no way to retrieve something that has been washed away by the ocean.
"We've already replaced everything that belonged to Luke with Steven's, and it's as though his entire brain has become Steven's brain, now.
