Chapter 353 
The caller left a few reminders before ending the conversation. Felix, on the other hand, looked even more disheartened. 

Colin didn’t know it’d be a congratulatory call from his colleague. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have answered it. 
Felix was once Mr. Popular of the school. He was smart and handsome. He had the look of a business elite. He even received offer letters from various mega corporations in his final year of university. 
When he worked, he was as professional and confident as Colin. If it weren’t for that accident, he would have had a bright future ahead of him. 
But that accident took everything from him. He couldn’t stand nor see the sun. The successes he was due to achieve would no longer be his. How could he not feel hopeless? 
He had resigned to survive instead of living his days. But that phone call that brought good news managed to shatter his will to survive. 
I stood by the door, concerned. I made sure they wouldn’t notice me. 
I knew looking after Felix would be challenging, but I underestimated how challenging it would be. 
I knew Felix would be devastated and upset, but I underestimated how cold and harsh the world could be. 
Colin was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He wanted to protect me, but he also wanted to shield his younger brother from harm. 
I was afraid. What if one day, the man who had been carrying everything on his shoulder buckled under pressure? What if he could no longer support everything?

“Colin, you’re healthy. You have a successful career. Mom and Dad love You’re surrounded by supportive friends and colleagues. But I have nothing, Colin. I have nothing. Just give me Lulu, please. I don’t want anything. I don’t want Mom and Dad. 
“You can have them. Just give me Lulu, please. I’m begging you.” 
Felix grabbed Colin’s collar and wept like an abandoned child. Tears and snot reduced his flawless face into a slimy mess. 
I thought Colin would bark back, but he didn’t. 
His tall frame staggered. The weight on his back made him falter. 
He rubbed his face and said sorrowfully, “Felix, it’s my fault that you’re a cripple. If possible, I’d give you my eyes, my legs, and even Mom or Dad. But Lulu is my reason for being. I won’t give her to anyone. Even if I’m about to die, my feelings won’t change. I won’t 
go of her, regardless if I’m dead or alive.”

Tears came gushing out of my eyes.

“Colin, I’m begging you. I love Lulu. I think about her every day, every minute, and every second. I made a mistake and broke her heart. For years, I’ve been wanting to make her, but I couldn’t find the right moment. Now that I’m crippled and blind, I can never ask for her forgiveness anymore. 
“But she’s the one I want in this life. She’s so kind. My body is all fucked up because I wanted to save her. Surely, she’ll agree to be with me because of what I’ve sacrificed, yeah? Please, Colin. I’m begging you. I almost can’t remember what she looks like anymore.” 
Felix slumped to the ground and held his knees before his face. He looked pathetic and devastated but also repulsive. 
“If I save your life, you’ll be mine.” 
How I wish I was the one hit by the car during that rainy day. 
Colin stood up, his back against the door. I couldn’t see his face, but I could imagine the resolution and the disappointment he had toward Felix.
