Chapter 293
The man in his 30s knelt beside his mother and begged, but it didn’t move her the slightest or gain her attention.
My heart grew cold. My intuition told me that it was going to be difficult today.
“Mel, get up! What are you doing? If you have trouble, we can find a solution. You don’t need to do this. You are scaring Lulu.” Mom took Aunt Mel’s hand and attempted to help her up.
Aunt Mel didn’t even look at Mom. She broke free and started crying. “Lulu, please be merciful. Please save Felix. Only you can save him, please.”
She hugged me so tightly that I couldn’t break away at all. I was exhausted.
She had placed a huge burden on me, both mentally and physically.
“Aunt Mel, it’s the doctor’s job to save people. I can’t do it.” I managed to calm down and tried to reason with her.
Unfortunately, it was a futile hope.
Aunt Mel was like a gambler. She knew full well that the outcome was uncontrollable, but she persistently believed her choice was correct and
refused to look back.
She was betting for Colin to give in, that I would be soft-hearted, and that she could make her dreams come true in the end.
“No, you can do it! I’ve asked the fortune teller. He said Felix’s cure is you. As long as you’re with him, all his bad luck will dissipate. He’ll get better then.”
Hmph, she still wanted me to be with Felix, but why should I? Did I have any duty or obligation to save someone who didn’t want to live?
Who Instructed the fortune teller to say this? I couldn’t agree with her for the sake of my relationship with Colin. Not to mention, Felix had done numerous things that hurt me and pushed me into despair.
Yes, he did explain to me. However, his explanations were feeble and showed that he was a scumbag, which made me doubt his character.
Even if he had apologized and explained, I could let the past go, wouldn’t sacrifice my whole life for him.
So, I wouldn’t comply with Aunt Mel’s request.
but I
“Aunt Mel, Felix is sick. As his childhood friend, I feel awful. I can take care of him but can’t be with him. I’ve promised to be with Colin forever, and I can’t break my promise. Don’t make things difficult for Colin. This has nothing to do with him.”
Colin stood behind me, holding my hand. Mom stood on my other side and silently supported me. Dad also stood beside Mom, protecting us.
Thank goodness that I wasn’t alone.
My nose was sore. I was glad to have a family and boyfriend who loved me so much in this life. As long as they were by my side, I wouldn’t be afraid of
suffering.
Aunt Mel burst into tears after hearing my words. She started begging me again and hugged my leg so tightly that I felt pain.
“Lulu, please have mercy on me! I can’t watch Felix die! I’m his mother! Harper, you’re also a mother. You must understand my feelings! Please help me persuade Lulu. If it hadn’t been for that incident that year, she would have been with Felix! How could she betray him? She can’t leave him!”
Her cries aroused those in other wards. Many people gathered in the corridor to enjoy the farce.
Someone remarked that I wouldn’t end well if I were so cruel and refused to
save Felix. Few wiped away tears and commiserated with Aunt Mel, saying that being a mother was difficult. She was willing to kneel for her child, an admirable mother.
