The man dressed in black ignored Winson and looked at Gwen. "Remember what I told you."
Odd as it sounded, Gwen felt like she was looking at…Luke.
When Luke was still alive, Luke would shoot her an annoyed look when someone interrupted them mid-conversation. The conversation often ended with Luke saying, "Remember what I told you."
Every time, she would giggle and nod back at him to show that she remembered what he said, though she always forgot them.
Instead of being irked, however, Luke would rub her head softly and sigh. "Sigh! What are you going to do if I'm not around…"
It hurt Gwen terribly to recall her memories with Luke. It took more than a while for her to withdraw herself away from the sadness.
She lifted her head and looked at the man dressed in black while earnestly replying, the same way she would always do when met with this question by Luke, "I know. I'll remember them."
The man dressed in black faltered for a moment briefly, and he nodded. "Alright."
After that, he lowered his head again and continued to treat his wound.
A pang of confusion hit her as she stared at the man. Every time Gwen replied the same way she did to Luke before, he would always tease her, "You keep saying you remember it, but do you honestly remember?"
After that, she would throw herself into Luke's arm and giggle.
Several seconds later, Gwen curled her lips and smiled bitterly. Frankly, there was nothing for her to feel upset about. She knew better than anyone that Luke was gone, and he was never going to come back.
