Chapter 300
“Out of courtesy, I’ll still call you Aunt Mel. I’ll take care of Felix. Whether he wakes up or not is beyond my control.”
“Okay, Lulu, as long as you’re willing to take care of him! Thank you!”
Aunt Mel seemed astonished. She stood up and approached to hold my hand, but I stepped back and avoided it.
I continued, “But there is one thing I’d like to state ahead. I’ll only take care of Felix, not be with him. It’s been impossible for me to be with him. The person I like is Colin. Even if Colin and I can’t be together, the guy I like will no longer be Felix.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? We’ll be together. Nobody can
separate us, not even death.” Colin caressed my face dotingly, and I smiled coquettishly in return.
Aunt Mel was a little gloomy. She opened her mouth several times before swallowing the words she wanted to utter.
She already knew it was difficult for me to agree. If she forced me further, I might even take it back. Perhaps she never imagined that I, who always seemed gentle with a smile, would become so determined.
When I turned around, I noticed some shame on her face.
Maybe she wanted to apologize to me just now, but it was a pity that it was
useless.
She’d already hurt me. It would be like slicing me and then stitching my wound. Could I pretend like nothing happened? That was impossible.
I informed Mom about my decision. She remained silent for a time before saying, “Lulu, if you believe it’s right, just do it. We’ll support you, but we won’t go to the hospital again. If you have any difficulties, call us in time.”
I promised them.
Colin was standing next to me when I was on the phone. After I hung up, he hugged me and kept repeating that he was useless for making me suffer with him.
“It’s nothing. Nobody can decide who I should like,” I replied, smiling.
It was fine as long as I was willing to do it.
In the evening, the doctor said that Felix’s condition had stabilized. They could move him to the general ward.
Uncle Austin went to the department director, saying that Felix’s condition was severe and needed to stay in a single ward.
General wards could be double, triple, or multi-patient. The so-called single ward wasn’t a high-end ward comparable to a luxury hotel but a general ward with only one patient. It was relatively quiet and more suitable for patients to recuperate.
The hospital bed was in the center of the single ward, with two foldable accompanying chairs beside the window that could be adjusted and used as beds at night.
There was a small television opposite the hospital bed. The patient could watch it any time after paying with the code. There was also a separate bathroom and two small round stools.
Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel were sitting on one of the accompanying chairs, which had already unfolded.
Colin hadn’t slept well for several days, so I forced him to rest on another accompanying chair.
When he refused, I threatened to get furious or cry if he didn’t listen. He
eventually gave in.
I stayed with him till he fell asleep.

After entering the emergency room several times, Felix was so skinny that it seemed like only a layer of skin was left covering his bones. His figure was
rather terrifying.
I felt sad to see him like this. We grew up together, after
