Chapter 33
“I’m sure you don’t know this, but Felix does. We grew up together and have known each other for over at
decade.
“I feel like I was an accidental baby while my parents are the ones in love. Their relationship is super strong. They’d never take advantage of one another’s unfortunate situations.
“Plus, I’m the only child in my family, so I get all the good things they give me. I don’t have to worry about
anyone fighting over that with me.”
I knew how to be a bitch, too.
“You misunderstood me, Lulu. That’s not what I meant. Felix was worried about you, so I accompanied
him to visit you. I really mean nothing else. You’re overthinking it.”
Maybe my words struck a sensitive point, Lilac’s eyes were brimmed with tears. She gnawed on her lip.
looking aggrieved as it I had bullied her.
I was recuperating at home. She shouldn’t have come in the first place if she didn’t want to see me.
I could understand that Lilac was jealous of me because of my past history with Felix. Nearly everyone in
the school knew about it.
I didn’t mind that Lilac couldn’t bear to see my family living in such good circumstances. After what
happened with her family, it was expected.
But Lilac shouldn’t have directed the topic to my parents. There was no way I could allow others to insult
the people who raised me.
“Did I misspoke, Lili? Weren’t we just chatting? Why are you crying? Don’t cry now. Here, I’ll give you a
tissue. If anyone else saw this now, they’d think I was bullying you. Oh, you’re so pretty when you cry.”
I took some tissues and shoved them into Felix’s hands, gesturing for him to help Lilac wipe her tears. “Is
Lili on her period, Lix? She doesn’t seem too emotionally stable. Hurry up and dry her tears, else her
makeup will be ruined.”
Lilac was great at acting, wasn’t she? I was going to do the same to her!
I never really bothered with them, but that was only because of our past friendship and my feelings for Felix. But when they started treating my kindness as a weakness, they would see just how powerful I was when I retaliated.

Still, Felix would probably be angry with me for snapping back at his girlfriend like this. But that was up to him. I wasn’t going to yield to him like I always did.
Strangely, Felix wasn’t angry. Instead, he looked at me in shock.
I used to think the world of Felix and do whatever he said. I would compromise with his instructions even though I had my own beliefs. Felix probably thought I was a loser who could be bullied by anyone.
I was known for having a good temper back then, especially in front of Felix. I could really obey every single word he said.
But everyone had their breaking point. He touched mine, so now, he had to face the consequences.
Mom and Dad were my breaking point. I wouldn’t allow anyone to disrespect them whatsoever.
Not even Felix’s girlfriend!
They weren’t here to visit me. Lilac was clearly here to get revenge on me after Felix went to pick me up at the hospital the other day. She was only using the excuse of visiting me to do so.
Meanwhile, Felix was indulging her without restraint.
Lilac really was quite something to be able to make Felix putty in her hands like this.
I didn’t understand it. I had utterly changed who I was ever since Felix made his stance clear. I wasn’t clingy, didn’t seek revenge, and even gave up going to Jesselton College.
I had walked away to peacefully live my own life, letting them indulge in their relationship however they pleased. I felt like I had done everything I could.
