Chapter 287
My sensitive heart, the time we spent growing up together, my elders‘ tears and pleadings, Colin’s sorrowful back–they controlled me like chains, with
no way out.
When I entered the ward on the fifth day, Aunt Mel hurried over to me with reddened eyes. She grabbed my hand and began crying
“Lulu, please save Felix. I know he’s done ridiculous things to you, but he still likes you. Can you forgive him? Please be with Felix. Only you can help
him!”
Everything I had feared was now coming true.
However, I didn’t want to. Why should I bear the consequences of Felix’s own choices? Why should I live a life dominated by others?
I had Colin. I only wanted to be with him.
What about Colin and me? What would happen to the love we’d just started?
I couldn’t bear to part with him.
“Aunt Mel, there is nothing between me and Felix at all. Colin is the one I
love. Even without Colin, I won’t be with Felix. You’re aware of what
occurred back then. I’m also my mom’s precious daughter. Why should I forgive him after he has hurt me so badly?”
Aunt Mel didn’t listen to me at all. She repeatedly implored me to forgive Felix and save him. She stated that if something happened to Felix, she
wouldn’t be able to survive.
I wondered how Colin would react when he heard that. Aunt Mel spared no
effort for Felix and even sacrificed her eldest son’s happiness. How would
Colin feel?
Aunt Mel didn’t let go of me. She shook off Colin’s hand repeatedly, crying
1/2
and begging, “Lulu, Colin will be fine without you, but Felix will diel You don’t want him to die either, right? You used to like him a lot! You must be unwilling to let him die! Please help me save him! Felix can’t just die like this! He’s still young. Lulu, I beg you!”
I refused to agree. “Aunt Mel, Colin is the person I love. If you want my organs, I can give them to you. But I only love Colin. I won’t love Felix again.
Aunt Mel’s request was just too much.
She still refused to give up. It wasn’t until Uncle Austin returned to take her away that I could escape, but she was still pressuring me to get back together with Felix.
Later, Colin took me out of the ward, and we went to the terrace. Facing the chilly wind, we felt sorrowful.
He held me in his arms while calmly smoking one cigarette after another.
Shortly after, there were more than a dozen cigarette butts beneath our feet, and the ashes flew everywhere. Just like our hearts that had been tortured to
the point of collapse.
Trembling, I turned around and hugged his waist. “Colin, I don’t want to leave you. Don’t push me away.”
Colin grabbed me in his arms, kissing my forehead and brows affectionately several times. His voice sounded broken in the wind. “Don’t be silly, you’re my life. How could I push you away? Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
It was soon time for me to leave. Colin wanted to send me off, but seeing his tiredness and depression, I refused. I didn’t want to make him even more
exhausted.
So, I took a taxi home alone.
