Chapter 332 

It was a gloomy morning. The rain was falling as I ran out of the dorm. I didn’t have an umbrella with me nor did I want to waste time running back to get one. Therefore, I braved 
the rain. 
I was eager to help Colin. 
The drugstore chain wasn’t that far away from the campus. It was across the street in front of the college, a few blocks down the residential area, and a final turn right. The building would be there. 
Perhaps due to the rain, there weren’t a lot of people on the street. Cars blitzed through the rain puddles, splashing pedestrians with water. 
The rain became heavier and heavier, so much so that it was 
to discern what was in 
front of me. I used both of my hands to shield my eyes from the downpour, but the rainwater was so aggressive that I struggled to open my eyes. I could only advance blindly. 
“Watch out, Lulu!‘ 
There was a loud shriek and an ear–piercing brake. My body came into contact with something, and the pain knocked me out. 
I heard someone screaming for an ambulance and that there was someone injured. Before I fell to the ground and passed out, I saw someone lying not far from me. He was lanky and skinny. A crimson pool gathered under him, webbing out as it mixed with rainwater. 
Felix’s limbs were twisted at a gnarly angle. He looked at me with his pallid face and soulless eyes. With 
With great difficulty, he opened his bloodied mouth. “It’s okay. I’m here, Lulu.” 
It was Felix. 
The pain in my body woke me up. I opened my eyes and smelled the scent of disinfectant. A tube next to me fed my body with constant dripping of chemicals. 
The 
space was quiet. No one was in the ward. 
After a brief moment of disorientation, the frightening scene of the accident replayed in my 
mind. 
A car had been charging at me. Even if the driver had stepped on the brake, he wouldn’t have 
1/2 
been able to steer the vehicle away. 
I would’ve been dead if Felix hadn’t been there. 
The rain had hampered my vision. When I noticed that there was a car, it was already too late to dodge away. 
1 had a close brush with death. 
1 didn’t know where Felix came from. But at the crucial moment, he grabbed my arm and yanked me backward as inertia threw him to take my place. The car hit him instead, and he was sent flying to the ground not far from me. 
The scene of a bloodied Felix consoling me while coughing out blood emerged vividly in my 
mind. 
Everything happened in an instant. I still could hear the grunt Felix made as the vehicle hit him, the sound of my bones fracturing as my body hit something, the shrill braking, and the panic in the driver’s voice as he called for help. 
Dread seized my heart. 
Felix was hit. Was he alright? Was he alive? 
Ignoring the searing pain in my left arm, I tried to prop myself up. I wanted to ask where Felix was and if he was all right. 
I needed the answer to live. 
He was my savior. I was grateful to him, and I wanted him to live. He was so young and so promising. He shouldn’t be taken away by an accident. 
“Don’t move. You’ll open your wound. Tell me where it hurts,” said Colin as he entered the ward. His eyes brightened up when he saw me. Then, he made me recline on my bed when he saw that I was trying to get up. 
I was shocked. 
Where was the handsome, charming Colin that I used to know? 
His clothes were crinkled, his hair was messy, he was unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot.
