Chapter 2696

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned quiet.

Rachel furrowed her brow and turned to stare at Gwen with a look of disbelief.

Rachel was a doctor who specialized in the treatment of comatose patients, so she had seen plenty during her time and was thus always able to keep calm even in stressful situations.

To be frank, Rachel's first impression of Gwen had not been a good one.

Rachel remembered the numerous times Gwen had tried to escape from Luke while in Merchant City. Not only that, but she even witnessed Gwen trying to persuade Kate to help her take care of Luke after she was gone.

Therefore, Rachel had always thought of Gwen as a labile and extremely emotionally-driven person.

However, this same woman was asking her about Luke's demise so calmly and in such a collected manner that it shocked Rachel.

She glanced again at Gwen, frowning. "I thought that after running into Steven, your entire brain would be so preoccupied with thoughts of Luke that you wouldn't be able to think straight."

Gwen paused for a moment, then let out a self-deprecating laugh. "To be quite honest, I had lost all rationality when I first laid eyes on Steven, but I'm so familiar with Luke that I remember every last detail on his body and regarding his mannerisms.

"Therefore, when I realized that Steven's body language and behavior were totally different from Luke's, I quickly regained my rationality and learned to think straight."

Gwen sighed and fixated her gaze on Rachel. "So...does this mean that Steven is Luke?"

Rachel sighed, stood up, and turned to gaze at the snowing city outside. "I'm reluctant to come to any conclusion before the DNA results come out, but I can say with ninety-percent certainty that Steven is, in fact, Luke, or at least..."

She paused for a moment. "At least, that body belongs to Luke."

Gwen momentarily faltered when she heard this.

She bit her lip and asked, "What are you trying to say...?"

"Have you ever thought-" Rachel turned to look at her. "Have you ever considered the possibility that something that you only see in movies could, in fact, happen in real life?

"For example, the brain-restructuring surgeries you see in sci-fi movies are actually attainable in real life."

The entire room fell silent.

Luna stared dazedly at Rachel, unable to believe her ears.

How could this...

Gwen's jaw dropped, and she was so shocked that she could not utter a single word.

After a long time, she bit her lip and whimpered, "So you're saying that...

"The Steven we see now is probably Steven's mind enclosed within Luke's body?"

"That's right." Rachel closed her eyes. "Even though these kinds of surgeries are theoretically attainable, it's extremely difficult to pull off in reality.

"That's because when transplanted into a new and foreign body, organs tend to reject each other, which is why many transplant patients die of complications related to organ rejection. "As one of the most vital organs in the human body, the brain is even more susceptible to rejection from the receiver body.

"If Steven and Luke had truly undergone this operation, their success could only mean one thing..."

Rachel lifted her head. "The only reason that could explain the success of Steven and Luke's operation is that they're twin brothers."

Gwen instinctively took a step back.

How could this...

How could this be?

Did this mean that the heart that was beating inside her chest was Steven's?

Since Steven had given her his heart, this meant that he had died, while Luke's body had taken the place of Steven's.

However, this meant that Luke's body was nothing but a vessel for Steven's brain! sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
