Chapter 292
“Mom, please shut up!” Colin wanted to protect me behind his back, but I refused.
He had always protected me. Today was my turn to defend him. He loved me so much. I couldn’t let him down.
“It’s impossible. Felix and I ended our relationship a long time ago. I only love Colin right now. There is no way I can be with Felix again, and I don’t want to. It has nothing to do with Colin. Don’t try to force him.”
“Luna, you’re so cruel! How could you refuse to save Felix?” Aunt Mel scowled, looking frantic.
“It’s not that I’m cruel. You’ve gone too far. I’ll do whatever I can, but I’m unwilling to sacrifice my happiness for Felix. I won’t do that. There’s no point in pressing Colin. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If you hurt him again, I’ll take him away.”
Aunt Mel was stunned. When she saw Colin and me hugging, her expression turned gloomy.
“You’re so heartless!” she shrieked. Her eyes rolled, and she passed out.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Colin let go of me and dashed over, crouching next to Aunt Mel and attempting to wake her up.
I was terrified when I saw her lying motionless. So, I rushed out and pounded on my door.
Mom opened the door sleepily. I had no time to explain, so I dragged her to
Aunt Mel.
She was likewise frightened when she saw Aunt Mel lying on the ground.
She patted Aunt Mel’s chest and massaged her head. After ten minutes, Aunt Mel finally awoke.

Colin sighed in relief and collapsed to the ground, lowering his head.
Aunt Mel didn’t make a fuss after waking up. Mom helped her to her bed while she continued to cry silently.
I sat next to Colin and stayed with him. He had to be feeling pressured. Aunt Mel had forced him to choose between his brother and girlfriend. How cruel of her!
Both Felix and I were important to him. Regardless of who Colin chose, he would get hurt.
I didn’t know how to comfort him, so I hugged him. He returned my embrace and buried his head into my neck. His tears immediately soaked my sweater.
When I arrived at the hospital the following morning, it was already 9:00
am.
Uncle Austin, Aunt Mel, and Colin stood in the corridor. Several doctors and nurses were busy in the ward.
I looked inside and couldn’t figure out what they were doing. So, I stepped back and stood beside Colin, intending to hold his hand.
However, before I could touch him, Aunt Mel rushed over and slapped his outstretched hand away. Then, she knelt before me. I was so frightened that I quickly stepped back, trying to get out of her reach.
She acted swiftly. As soon as I moved, she gripped my right leg.
I froze on the spot, feeling as if I had no control over my limbs and couldn’t
escape.
I looked to Colin for help. He came over sullenly and grabbed Aunt Mel’s arms. However, she was hugging me too tightly. He attempted to pull her away several times but failed.
Uncle Austin moved forward to help Colin but appeared to have thought of

something. He came to a halt, turned his face away, and let the situation
unfold.
I didn’t feel disappointed when I saw his reaction. He would naturally
overlook his morals when it came to his son’s life.
“Mom, don’t do this. Let go of Lulu,” Colin knelt on the ground and begged Aunt Mel. His starry eyes had turned bloodshot, full of exhaustion.
