Chapter 330
This cold came out of nowhere. I had a stuffy nose, dry eyes, and a scratchy throat. It was so uncomfortable.
“I don’t want to go.” I weakly refused, barely opening my eyes.
I had always hated going to the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was like a nightmare to me. So, in order to avoid going to the hospital, I tried not to fall sick.
But in recent years, I had been to the hospital too many times. And it was serious each time. That feeling of panic was unforgettable. Even now, just the thought of hospitals would make me squirm. So, I firmly resisted.
Colin took my sweater while coaxing me to get dressed and get up. But I just rolled over and pulled the covers over myself, refusing to listen to him.
“Baby, when you’re sick, you have to go to the hospital. If you get pneumonia, you’ll have to be hospitalized. Come on, get up quickly,” Colin urged.
But no matter how he coaxed me, I refused to listen. He was so anxious that his eyes were turning red, and Helen was so angry that she could have picked me up
with one hand.
I was betting on Colin’s concern for me to stop forcing me.
Fortunately, I won in the end. Colin had to wrap me up like a dumpling and put me at the head of the bed. He carefully checked the medicines he brought, picked them out, and put them in my hand. Then he brought me warm water and
watched me frown as I swallowed a handful of pills.
My stubbornness infuriated Helen, who gritted her teeth in anger. If it weren’t
for Colin, she might have torn me apart.
But I didn’t care how angry she was. After swallowing the pills, I gave her a pale look of victory. It once again infuriated her.
While she was downstairs to fetch the breakfast ordered by Colin, I was leaning softly against him with a fever patch on my forehead. I was all wrapped up like a
cocoon, which amused Helen when she came back.

“It’s just a cold. Why are you acting so weak? So what if you have a boyfriend who spoils you? Who are you trying to impress by showing off so early in the morning? Alright, I can’t watch it anymore. I’m leaving.”
She put the breakfast on the table, picked up her bag, and left.
Actually, I knew she was sad.
She spoke disdainfully just now, but her eyes were full of envy.
Being cherished by the person one loves should be the happiest thing for every
woman.
Once, after Helen and Matthew quarreled, she mentioned this to me as I was comforting her. She said, “Luna, do you know how much I envy the way your boyfriend looks at you, with affection and love? If Matthew could treat me half as well as Colin treats you, I’d be the happiest woman in the world.
“I’m not expecting him to love me like your boyfriend loves you. But just a little reciprocation from him would be enough for me.
“Even if he just pours me a cup of water when I need it or passes me a tissue when I’m sad, I’d be so touched. But there’s nothing. It’s like he’s been frozen in ice. No matter how hard I try, I can’t warm him up.”
At that time, I could only sigh and marvel at how love could totally transform a
person.
Someone proud like Helen, who had a good family background and was pretty and talented, fell for someone who didn’t like her. She humbled herself because
of love.
And someone like me, who had once followed Felix every day just because of t vague feeling that I couldn’t figure out, turned into a pest. I even let him publicly
insult me.
And someone like Lilac, who was obsessed with Felix yet was unable to let go of her childhood sweetheart, got herself entangled with Shawn. Although she said it was because Felix couldn’t forget about me, everyone knew that it was just an excuse she made for herself.
