Chapter 291
Aunt Mel didn’t return. Uncle Austin called to ask her where she was. She vaguely stated that she had something to do and asked him to take good care of Felix.
Felix still didn’t wake up. The doctor indicated his vital signs were normal, and he wasn’t in danger for the time being. He would wake up eventually.
My parents decided to take me back home. Colin accompanied me downstairs and watched as I entered the car.
When Dad drove away, he remained in front of the hospital, looking at me from a distance.
My parents were old, and the past few days exhausted them. As they weren’t feeling well, they returned to take a shower and rest.
I lay on the sofa alone. My mind was disorganized, and my head throbbed with pain.
I wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but I soon heard the unlocking of the door opposite. I hurriedly got up to take a look.
It was Colin. He was holding a large bag and putting the keys away after opening the door.
I followed him in and asked why he was back. He stated Uncle Austin had him return to fetch some stuff. I helped gather everything according to the
list he made.
“Colin, I can’t find new towels. I have some at home. I’ll go back and get
some.”
I forgot where I kept the towels, and it took me a while to find them. When I opened my door, I could hear someone talking at the opposite entrance. It was quite loud.

Aunt Mel, who had disappeared for a time, had returned.
Colin said, “I won’t agree! It’s too ridiculous! You can say whatever you want, but I won’t break up with Lulu!”
“Colin, just listen to me. I just went out to find the fortune teller. He said Felix and Lulu are destined to be together. She’s the only person who can save him. I’ll find a better girl for you in the future. You can’t watch Felix die!” Aunt Mel burst into tears.
Colin angrily argued with Aunt Mel. As I couldn’t get in, I waited outside the
door.
She couldn’t reason with him and finally said, “Colin, if you won’t save your brother, I won’t acknowledge you as my son!”
“Mom, are you going to force me?”
He roared desperately, “Why, Mom? Am I not your biological son? Why are you doing this to me? It was Felix’s choice. He should bear the
consequences! He ought to adjust his mentality and cooperate with the doctor rather than sacrificing Lulu to satisfy him! I won’t agree with it!”
There was a crisp sound, followed by a moment of silence in the house.
Aunt Mel had slapped Colin. He probably felt upset, being coerced by his biological mother.
I couldn’t take it any longer, so I dashed in, throwing the towel away and spreading my hands to protect him behind me.
“Aunt Mel, you’ve gone too far! Did Colin do anything wrong? Why did you hit him? Is it because of me? Then come after me! Don’t hurt Colin!”
Colin hugged me from behind. His body shook violently, and the clothing on my shoulders was moist and warm. He was crying again.
He was an adult, yet his biological mother made him cry several times.

Colin was wonderful. How could Aunt Mel bear to hurt him?
“Okay, Lulu. As long as you save Felix, I won’t hit Colin. He’s also my son. How could I not feel sorry for him? I wouldn’t have hit him if he hadn’t refused to break up with you.”
