"Those people who stood nearer to us should've heard everyone.
She was calling me Luke, but as you all know, I'm Steven Hughes. That woman had just lost her loved one, so she's not of a sound mind. Understandably, she had mistaken me for her loved one, and I don't intend to seek compensation from her. But
Steven paused a while before continuing," If anyone here escalated this issue to a different level that it affects my relationship with my fiancee, or—God forbid—the cooperation between the Miller family and my family... I think not only will I sue that person, but I'll also make sure they'll have a hard time living in this city." Coldness appeared in his eyes, the intensity matching his tone. "If any of you isn't afraid to offend me, my family, or the Miller family, you’re free to post what happened to social media or sell it to the media."
Instantly, no one dared to make a sound. The onlookers exchanged looks with each other, visibly intimidated by this ominous taunt.
As the onlookers dispersed, Steven had an incoming call. It was his assistant calling him.
"Sir, did you go and pick up Dr. Liddell? Her plane has landed, and she's already at the airport. Where are you?" his assistant asked.
Steven smacked his forehead in realization; he came to pick up Dr. Liddell!
He quickly headed toward the arrival gate.
Not far away, Luna embraced Gwen in her arms and lowered her voice, speaking," Why don't we stay in Saigen City for now?"
"Okay." Gwen sat on the chair and looked in the direction where Steven was with tears rolling down her face. At this moment, her emotions were quelled. She saw and heard what Steven did and said after Luna and her left.
'But he is really Luke! What happened to him?'
"Alright. I'll ask Lucas to cancel our tickets... " Luna thus sent a text to Lucas while continuing to monitor Gwen. She was afraid Gwen might act recklessly and do something absurd again.
Fortunately, Gwen had calmed down. "Did he lose his memory?" Gwen squeezed her brow tightly as she looked at how anxious Steven was while searching for the person he was waiting for at the exit." Neil, Bonnie, and Jim lost their memories before too... But even so, their personalities were the same. The way they talked and their tone was the same. But Luke..."
This man was far too removed from the Luke she knew. He no longer had the memory of being with her, and his characteristics were totally different from before to the extent that if his appearance and body were not the same as Luke's, Gwen would have thought they were two different people.
'What happened? How did it come to this? What kind of things Luke had been through? And...'
She put her hand on her chest to feel the heart that was still beating in her heart.
'If Luke didn't die, whose heart is with me now?'
