The entire hallway fell silent.
Gwen nodded, his arms still around her waist in an embrace. "I know…
"Don't worry; I'll take care of all this."
After having gone through so much, she was no longer the naive girl she used to be.
Even though there were times when she had the urge to take her own life and join Luke in heaven, the moment she witnessed Luke's personality splitting out of Steven…everything changed.
The truth was, taking her own life would not be the release she wanted.
The best choice she could make was to return to her home and live her life the way he would want her to.
After all, she was aware that Luke's body was still alive, and his consciousness was still kept within, just that he was unable to access it.
If Luke's memories and consciousness had not been removed somehow, that meant he had not died at all, even if Steven was the new owner of his body.
Luke did not die; he was just learning to get along with his brother, albeit in a "hidden" state.
Therefore, Gwen no longer sought to take her own life to join Luke.
After settling all this, she would return to Sea City and start her life afresh. She would do as Luke said, and leave Steven's life once and for all.
However…she would still check in on him from time to time.
This was more than enough for her.
"Good girl." Luke lowered his head to stare at her, caressing her hair gently. "I'm sorry you had to go through this. I promised you a long time ago that I'd be here for you forever, but I didn't keep my word…"
