Chapter 2758 Gwen pursed her lips upon hearing this but did not reply. After a long time, she finally sighed and said,
“Alright. I promise.” In the past, she had failed to consider that Steven, too, was someone with loved ones and
family. Since Steven and Denise were both willing to pay the price of what had happened...she did not have the
right to continue depriving Steven of the right to his life and freedom, and he was not at all obliged to do anything
on behalf of Luke.
This was the best outcome any of them could ever hope for.
“Thank you.” Denise let out a sigh and got off the bed, then sat down in Luna‘s chair. She stared at the audio files
on the laptop screen and asked, “These are all the recordings of the conversation between Steven and Mr. and Mrs.
Hughes, correct?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwen fell silent for a moment, secretly a little annoyed by the fact that Denise had sat down in Luna‘s chair and
looked at her laptop without permission. On second thought, after what Denise just said, Gwen decided not to be so
cynical about this.
After all, there was nothing else on Luna‘s laptop besides these recordings since Luna had already delegated her
work before coming to Saigen City.
Seeing that Gwen did not stop her, Denise went ahead and clicked on another audio file.
It was a conversation between Steven and another person.
“Hi, I‘d like to inquire about a question I‘ve been having. If someone‘s mind and consciousness have been replaced
...is there a way to regain everything?”
Gwen‘s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
Denise, too, was shocked to hear this. A split second later, she smiled wryly and said, “Ms. Larson, you heard my
brother–he, too, wants to make things up to you in the best way he can.
“He has no idea that you even planted the recording device on him, so he‘s not just saying these for your sake.
Gwen bit her lip and clenched her fists.
Denise was right; Steven was not faking this for her sake.
Did he truly want to return Luke‘s body?
Did he know that since his body had already been buried and his heart transplanted to her, replacing Luke‘s
thoughts into his body would...effectively erase everything about him?
Returning Luke‘s body to him meant that he, Steven Hughes, would die.
At the thought of this, Gwen bit her lip and could not help wondering if she had been too harsh on Steven.
In the past, she always thought Steven was a spiteful person that hated her above anything. She never thought that
Steven would turn out to be such a kindhearted, selfless man.

“That‘s extremely difficult, Mrs. Hughes.” The other person‘s voice quickly pulled Gwen back to reality.” Erased and
evacuated thoughts can never be recovered, or rather, it‘ll be a long, extremely difficult process. “If you truly want
to try, I can help you with that, but you must reconsider all this. If you want to regain all the thoughts and
consciousness of the person whose body you‘re occupying...it will mean that everything about you will gradually be
lost. Can...”
The man paused for a moment. “Can you accept that?
“This will be no different from committing assisted suicide.”
A long silence.
Finally, Steven‘s voice rang out in determination, “I‘m willing to accept this.
“None of this belonged to me in the first place, and
besides...there‘s someone out there who loves and misses the owner of the body I’m occupying, and I don‘t ever
want to see her sad.”
