Before Luna could even finish her sentence, the door to Gwen's room was flung open.
Gwen stormed out of the room and desperately grabbed Rachel's hands. "What happened, Dr. Liddell? Is Steven...”
Tears brimmed in her eyes as she stared earnestly at Rachel. "Is... Is he Luke?"
When she saw the look in Gwen's eyes, Rachel bit her lip and sighed. Then, she reached out to hold Gwen's hand in consolation. "Gwen, why don't you first tell me how you’re doing?"
Gwen had just received her heart transplant less than two months ago, and Rachel was worried that Gwen's heart would not be able to handle the news she had to give.
"I'm doing well." Gwen bit her lip as tears slid down her cheeks. "Please tell me the truth, Dr. Liddell. I promise that I can handle it."
A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart at the sight of this. She strode over to them and picked up a tissue to gently dab at Gwen's tears. "No matter what happens, Gwen, promise me that you’ll face the truth, okay?"
Gwen nodded as tears slid down her face, landing on the tissue Luna offered.
Rachel could not help sighing at this. She fixed her gaze on Luna and Gwen, then sighed again. "I've already sent a sample of Steven's DNA to the DNA Diagnostic
Center; the results will be ready tomorrow. By then..."
She let out an exhale. "We'll finally be able to know whether Steven is Luke or not.
Even though I have a rough guess myself, I still think we shouldn't simply come to a conclusion before obtaining concrete evidence.”
Gwen's entire body stiffened upon hearing this.
