Chapter 260
Colin started to grumble, every word sounding like a complaint. But behind each word was clearly his concern for me and his fear.
“When I heard you scream for help, I almost went crazy. I was worried I came too late, afraid you would be hurt because of it. God knows how angry I was seeing you covered in blood while lying there. If I had a knife, I would’ve killed them right then and there.”
Now that I thought about it, Colin was still full of suppressed anger. His gaze was so fierce it was frightening. He ground his teeth loudly.
If he had a knife then, I had no doubt he would have turned those two into minced meat.
“It wouldn’t have been worth it.”
“It would’ve. As long as it’s for you, everything’s worth it. Lulu, stop doubting yourself all the time. You have to know that you deserve the best of everything in the world. So, don’t always choose to step back, forgive, and accommodate others. Stop sacrificing yourself.
“In my eyes, you’ll always come first. For you, I wouldn’t hesitate to commit any crime, even if it means harming others. I wouldn’t even furrow
my brows.”
The air between us was flowing with warmth and tenderness.
I never expected Colin to have this side to him. He was so doting while being authoritative.
I wanted to laugh again, but my tongue hurt too much, so I gave up.
“Colin, if those two guys had really… Would you still like me?”
“Nonsense,” he rebuked me sternly, his gaze unusually serious.
“I like you for who you are and not for any of the superficial reasons. I went crazy earlier not because you might’ve lost your innocence but because….
“Because you didn’t want to see me get harmed. Colin, I know that,” I quickly interrupted him, finishing his sentence.
The topic was unpleasant, but I wanted a genuine answer.
His expression softened slightly, the coldness in his eyes gradually melting away. It was replaced by a gentle warmth.
“I want to get to the bottom of this matter, but that’ll depend on your opinion.”

“Of course, we must get to the bottom of this. Her behavior this time is too despicable. If she isn’t punished appropriately, who knows what she might do next?
“Colin, I can’t keep a venomous snake around me. It’s too dangerous. Besides, she has to take responsibility for what she’s done.“!
“Okay.” Colin gently kissed my hand, successfully making me blush. His chest was vibrating with muffled laughter as he said, “Typical young women would choose to suffer in silence when faced with such situations. So, I wanted to know your opinion.”
“Well, you seem to forget that I’m not a typical young woman.”
He laughed with joy and relief. The depths of his eyes, like the vast sky of stars, were suppressing the raging anger.
This incident not only angered me but also made him worry. Regardless of who Lilac was, Colin wouldn’t let her off. I just didn’t know what role Felix played in this matter.
“You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore. Leave it to me. I’ll be sure to get you justice,” he said.
After all that had happened, I was tired. I wanted to sleep for a while.
The door of the ward creaked open, and two sets of footsteps pulled me out of my drowsiness. My hazy consciousness instantly cleared.
Felix had appeared in the ward, and he was dragging Lilac by the collar of her clothes. He shoved her forward.
Lilac bit her lip and rushed toward me, kneeling in front of my bed. As her knees hit the floor, the pain made her furrow her delicate brows as tears pooled in her eyes. Suddenly, my head began to hurt.
