Chapter 165
Matthew threw himself beside my bed anxiously. “Lulu, are you feeling better? Sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen. There was something wrong with the plan, and it was very urgent. I had to discuss the solution, and…
“Lulu, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen. You know that. I wouldn’t hurt you.”
He looked terrible–his suit was torn, one eye was swollen, and his lips were bleeding. His chin was also covered with stubble. His eyes were full of
anxiety and helplessness.
Felix stood far away at the door. Seeing that I was fine, he seemed to take a long breath and smiled slightly at me.
“Lulu, can you please say something? It’s my fault. You can hit me or scold me, just don’t ignore me.
Matthew held my hand, his eyes turning red with anxiety. I wanted to withdraw my hand, but my body was so weak that I had no strength.
“How did I get here?” I asked him hoarsely. My throat was dry, and was dizzy. It felt as if I was standing in the clouds.

head
He was about to speak when Felix pushed him away. His head hit the wall
with a thud.
Perhaps out of guilt, Matthew didn’t resist. He lowered his head as he rubbed it, so I couldn’t see his expression clearly.
“Didn’t you call Colin? He told me something happened to you. I asked your classmates and found out you got off the bus in the suburbs in advance.
“So, I took a taxi to find you and brought you back. There was a landslide afterward. If I had gone a little later, you might’ve died.”
“Oh, thank you.”
+15 BOHUS
I didn’t expect a landslide. In other words, Felix saved my life.
He frowned, saying, “That’s not a big deal. But Luna, why didn’t you come to me instead of Colin when you were in danger? Did you forget my number? Didn’t you know I was at Jesselton College? Doesn’t it make more sense to
contact someone nearby?”
“That does make more sense, but I couldn’t think straight at the time. I didn’t expect things to get so serious. I didn’t call you because I didn’t want Lilac to misunderstand. You know that she doesn’t like me approaching you.
“Anyway, thanks for your help. Otherwise, I might just be a corpse now.
I made a joke, but it wasn’t funny.
Felix stepped back speechlessly. Gritting his teeth, he didn’t say anything
more.
“Lulu, you can come to me. I’m always here for you. If anything happens to
you again, I’ll arrive as soon as possible. Believe me. This time was different. I swear it’ll never happen again.”
Matthew raised his hand and solemnly swore.
It was just that things had already happened. What was the use of swearing? Could he make up for the trauma he caused me last night?
If Felix hadn’t come, I would’ve died. He made me face death several times
back then. Since he saved me, we were even.
I wanted to believe Matthew. But after this, how could I trust him?
The two men stood beside the hospital bed, staring at me. One was my old love, and the other was my new love. This wasn’t a good feeling.
“You guys should go back. I want to sleep for a while.” I didn’t want to talk to them or pay them any attention.
“I have nothing to do anyway. I’ll stay with you…”
