Chapter 87
At that moment, I panicked. Pulling out my phone, I called several people. I called everyone close to Colin whose numbers I knew, but no one picked up my call.
Not wanting to give up, I called Aaron and Eden repeatedly. But none of them picked up.
Were they pretending to be missing?
Did something happen to Collin?
At once, I ran to the studio in the research institute, passing through corridors and gardens.
When I arrived, I realized the door to the studio was closed. No matter how many times I knocked, no one responded.
I couldn’t find Colin anywhere.
My world was crushed.
Defeatedly, I returned to the dormitory. Without eating anything, I went to sleep.
There were no classes in the afternoon, so I slept until 5:00 pm. When I woke up, my stomach was rumbling.
Colin said that he wanted me to gain weight and that I shouldn’t skip any meals.
I admitted that I was doing it on purpose. I wanted to starve myself. Since Colin wanted me to gain
weight, he would do something if he knew I had skipped two meals and gotten thinner.
So, with an empty stomach, I waited for Colin to look for me or tell me where he was. I could go and find
him, no matter how far.
Soon, the sky darkened. I had sent dozens of texts and made dozens of calls, yet there was still no
response from Colin.
Was I abandoned once again without any reason?
After the lights were turned off, I hid in the covers and cried.
I didn’t know why Colin was ignoring me and what did I do that angered him.
Since Colin had abandoned me, I would be alone again in the future. It felt lonely.
I was reminded of the days after Thanksgiving in my senior year of high school I was always by Felix’s
side, but after Thanksgiving, I became alone. During that period, I had always felt empty, as if I was
abandoned by the entire world.
During the painful nights, I cried to sleep countless times.
Now, I seemed to have returned to back then. I was enduring everything alone.
I told myself it was nothing since it wasn’t my first time being abandoned. After crying this one time. I
wouldn’t cry again.
After crying for a while, I fell asleep.
I woke up before 6:00 am. Without waking up Queenie and Zoey. I went to wash up. Then, I sat before my
desk to study.
When it was 6:30 am, I heard noises coming from the corridor. Queenie and Zoey rubbed their eyes and
sat up.
I smiled at them. “I’m going to the cafeteria later. Do you guys want anything?”
With messy hair, Zoey approached me and touched my forehead. Then, she put her forehead against
mine. “You don’t have a fever. What’s going on?”
Nothing was going on. It was just that no one was going to care about me from now on, so I could only
survive on my own.
“I’m fine. I just want to have breakfast in the cafeteria. I didn’t eat anything yesterday. I’m starving.”
“Lulu, did you cry?” Queenie stared at my puffy eyes and asked.
“Yeah, but I won’t cry again today. I’m fine being alone.”
Then, I opened the door and walked out.
When I reached the second floor, I realized I had forgotten to bring my phone. So, I went back upstairs to
take it.
At that time, Queenie and Zoey were in the bathroom washing up while chatting about me.
“Don’t you think there’s something odd about Lulu today?”
“Her face is as red as a tomato. She’s clearly upset, yet she’s pretending that nothing has happened.”
