Steven furrowed his brow when he heard Gwen's voice.
He turned around, and his entire body froze when he caught sight of Gwen.
A split second later, he reached out and pulled Gwen into his arms as though there was no one else around there. "Yes, it's me."
Tenderness twinkled in his eyes as he held the woman he loved in his arms. "My love."
Tears spilled down Gwen's face when she heard this. She reached out to grab his sleeve, tears brimming in her eyes. "Is that really you, Luke?"
"Yes, it is." Luke furrowed his brow. "I don't know what happened…but it seems as though I had just burst out of a cocoon."
Everyone's jaws dropped at this sight, including Thomas, who had been bracing himself for another slew of punches.
Joshua furrowed his brow in confusion.
Luna, on the other hand, widened her eyes in shock, then strode over to Joshua's side and gently tugged on his sleeve. She asked in a whisper, "What happened?"
How could Steven suddenly turn into Luke without warning?
Did the doctors not say that Luke's consciousness had disappeared and would never return?
Judging from the way Gwen and Luke held each other, as well as the look in his eyes when he laid eyes on her, Luna was certain that this was none other than Luke; Steven would never be able to put on such a genuine act.
After all, Steven had never met Luke before and thus would never know how Luke behaved in Gwen's presence, much less imitate the tenderness and love he had toward her!
Gwen wrapped her arms tightly around Luke's waist. She could not help feeling suffocated, as though she was engulfed with so much warmth that she could barely breathe.
