Chapter 48


    I believed Lc’s visit that day was to prove that she had won Felix over me.


    I initially had a good impression of Lc, thinking she was fragile and pitiful. If they truly loved each


    other, I could give them my blessings.


    After all, Felix’s dislike for me had nothing to do with Lc.


    However, Lc’s actions left me disappointed after a few incidents.


    I always believed that one should have a pure heart regardless of one’s background or wealth. Lc


    was under 20 years old, but she appeared to have been tainted by worldly matters and was too


    scheming.


    I wondered it, with time, Felix woulde to regret discovering her true nature. Could their present


    love endure, allowing them to age together?


    During breakfast, I brought up the topic of moving again. Dad mentioned that they had already found a


    house and paid the deposit.


    It was in a newmunity farther away in the city center. However, the house was still under


    construction and wouldn’t be ready until next year.


    I felt a tinge of regret. Ideally, I wanted to leave immediately and sever ties with Felixpletely.


    Reality didn’t permit it, but I epted the situation. Moving out next year still felt promising. At least


    there was something to look forward to.


    After a full ten days in the hospital, my physical scars were healing, but a wound in my heart seemed


    impossible to mend.


    When I got home andy on my big bed, there were no IV bags hanging. above me, no pungent smell


    of disinfectant, and no doctors and nurses routinely checking me like a pancake every morning and


    night. I


    was at ease.


    Around 5:00 pm, Aunt Melinda came to visit. She first put down two big bags of fruits and snacks, then


    brought in tworge tes of freshly cooked ravioli.


    At that moment. Mom was unaware that I had just woken up from a nap. She told Aunt Melinda that I


    was still sleeping.


    Aunt Melinda didn’t express much, but I could sense her disappointment. She probably came to visit


    me.


    Mom and Aunt Melinda chit–chatted in the living room. My room door wasn’t fully closed, and i could


    hear their conversation very clearly.

    Aunt Melinda first mentioned Felix’s situation and repeatedly apologized to Mom.


    Mom calmly told her it wasn’t his fault and that it had nothing to do with him.


    Then, she talked about how our family had already chosen a house and would move out next year


    when


    it was ready.


    Aunt Melinda fell silent for a while and then teared up.


    “Harper, whether you believe it or not, I truly feel sorry for Lulu. It’s our fault that she suffered so much


    and almost lost her life. If I had known Felix was such a mess, I wouldn’t have mentioned that


    agreement


    back then.”


    her tears a


    Aunt Melinda wiped said, “It was just a joke that’s not meant to be taken seriously. Nowadays, the


    younger generation can choose their rtionships freely, and we shouldn’t interfere.”


    a


    After a brief pause, she continued, “I want to intervene, but the kid is all grown up, and he doesn’t heed


    my words. Harper, Lulu is a good child, and she treats Felix very well. Passing up on Lulu will be a loss


    for him throughout his life. He will surely regret itter on.”


    After Aunt Melinda finished speaking, she silently shed tears again. Mom’s heart softened as she


    listened to Aunt Melinda’s sincere words, and their decades–long friendship became less strained.


    Mom reassured her not to dwell on it too much and that everything would eventually pass.
