This was the first time Stefan heard his friend giving Gwen a positive comment and finally accepting her. His lips curled into a smile as he said, "You're going to discover more good things about her soon enough and realize she's a wonderful woman."After that, he walked toward Gwen.Gwen was sound asleep at the dining table when she heard two voices conversing with one another. She looked up with a frown and said, "Stefan, Kurt, you guys are back.""Yes. Don't mind us," said Stefan softly as he walked over. He then reached his hand out to carry Gwen.There was a voice in Gwen's head warning her to keep her distance from Stefan.Nevertheless…Stefan reminded her of Luke a lot, and his gentle tone sounded just like how Luke would talk to her.Finally, she was so exhausted that she just let Stefan continue to carry her while she dozed off in his arms.When Stefan placed her on her bed, she could not help but wrap her hands around Stefan's neck to call out Luke's name gently, "Luk
Stefan was stunned when he heard this. He turned his stiff body to face Kurt and said, "When did we meet again?"Kurt frowned while thinking. "Three days ago."He continued, "Boss, does your brother really exist with you in that body? Why hasn't he shown up before?"At first, it worried him vehemently when Stefan told him that he and his brother coexisted in the same body. He was worried that the person he called Boss was Stefan's brother instead of Stefan. He was worried that Stefan's weak brother had no power to protect himself if he appeared all of a sudden when they were fighting.However, his worry was for nothing. Stefan's brother never appeared.Or was Stefan's brother just his imagination?"Three days…" Stefan frowned vehemently.All in all, Steven had not made his appearance for four days.In the past, they took turns to be in control of the body easily. Whenever Steven was in trouble, Luke would appear and Steven would appear when Luke fell asleep.Yet, no matter whe
Gwen was shocked after hearing that. Her eyes widened while she tried to grab Steven. "What are you saying? We don't want you to do that!"Steven avoided her, however. "Why?"He turned and went to sit at the edge of the roof. He then said, "You two are so deeply in love with each other, and you two should be together."They were both on the rooftop of a skyscraper. Behind him was a sky full of stars.His smile looked so pure and sweet. "I regret that I never had the chance to talk to Luke in person when I was alive."After I took over his body, I thought he'd hate me. I thought he wished he could resurrect from death and spent the rest of his life together with you…but he surprised me. Even though we never met before, he tried to be a good brother to me and tried hard so I could continue to live."As a matter of fact, that was all that mattered."He looked at Gwen. His mind was at peace. "I should've died a long time ago after the accident. My parents and the Miller family refus
Stefan rushed into the room as Gwen was shaken after the dream.At first, she was stunned to see him, but her tears came pouring down in just a few seconds."It's alright." Stefan was shocked to see her tears, but he quickly went forward to her and embraced her in his arms tightly. "It's just a dream. It's fine now."Gwen felt safe being in his arms, and the warm hug somehow brought comfort to her. She bit her lip and rested in his arms as tears trailed down her face."Stefan…I had a terrible dream." Her hands gripped Stefan's top tightly as she talked, "It was so scary. I'm afraid the dream is going to come true. I'm scared to lose Steven…"Stefan had his hand ready to pat Gwen's back to soothe her emotion. When he heard her talking, he froze.He furrowed his brow and looked at Gwen. "Who did you say you're afraid to lose?""Steven. He's very important to me." Gwen did not know Stefan's real identity, so she thought he did not know Steven and Luke.Tears continued to fall, and
"The man who kidnapped your father is Tyson," Stefan interrupted Gwen before she could even finish. "Kurt and I have decided on a plan. We'll intercept him this afternoon, and after gaining his trust, we'll be able to find out where he's keeping your father hostage."As he said this, he lifted his head to stare intently at Gwen. "Don't worry. With me around, your father will be fine. I'll do everything in my power to fulfill your wish, even if it means helping you protect the people you love..."Stefan paused for a moment, then added, "Your wish is my command."With that, he turned to leave."Thank you." Gwen bit her lip as she stared at his retreating figure. "After we settle all this, I will hand over all the money under my name as a reward for all that you've done. I…I don't know what else I can offer you besides this."A bitter smile crept onto Stefan's face when he heard this. He turned to meet her gaze and replied, "There's no need for that. Kurt and I didn't decide to help
Luna was absolutely overjoyed to hear this.This was perfect! Gwen was supposed to be reminded of Luke because he was Luke!With that, Luna quickly followed up with a voice message, "Gwen, since you're already feeling this way, why don't you try and unveil his mask and see what he truly looks like? I'll tell you this; you should be more courageous, and who knows if you might be pleasantly surprised by him?"Gwen was even more amused by this. How could she possibly be even more surprised? The only way that could happen was if Stefan turned out to be Luke in disguise.Besides…Stefan admitted that he chose to conceal his face because of his disfigurement, and this was why she was reluctant to reveal his face. She was secretly worried that every ounce of her developing feelings toward him would dissipate after seeing his crude, grotesque face.She did not want to lose him as a friend.No. She could not let that happen; she still needed Stefan and Kurt's help to save her father.At
Luna rubbed her eyes in exasperation. "We can't."When John left the city, he specifically requested for Joshua not to follow him or attempt to track him down because he wanted nothing to do with any of us, so…Joshua did exactly as he asked. He didn't send any men to keep an eye on them or track them down. Now…we have no idea where John or little Sammie went."This was the reason she had gotten into that fight with Joshua.She could understand John's unwillingness to be affiliated with any of them and knew full well that John hated her guts out of all of them, but…She could not help feeling that Joshua could have done more to protect John and Sammie. Even if he had to fulfill John's request, he could have secretly sent some men to keep an eye on them so that they could be aware of John's whereabouts.Although Luna did not intend on intruding in their lives…She sighed. "I just miss them so much."All she wanted to do was keep an eye on them from afar, and all she wanted to know
"Why are we talking about me again?" Gwen was silent for a moment before finally furrowing her brows and forcing an amused tone. "Weren't we talking about you? Stop trying to change the subject!"Luna could tell that she was feigning nonchalance. "It's already been six months, Gwen, yet you haven't moved on from Luke, so how can you expect me to do the same about Anne?"She still dreamed of Anne, both during and after she got out of prison.Images of Anne's shock and pity when she first laid eyes on Luna's disfigured face.Images of Anne keeping her company throughout the night when she could not sleep due to the pain of the surgery.Anne had been there for her through the darkest days of her life, so how could she forget so soon that she was the culprit of Anne's death?Gwen sighed when she heard Luna's sorrow and decided not to kid around any longer. She replied in a low voice, "Luna, we all have to grow up and face reality. As cruel as it sounds…we have to look forward."You
