Chapter 263
I felt at ease entrusting Colin with the matter.
He was the person I trusted the most.
Before he left that day, he arranged for a caregiver to look after me. He insisted that if I got hurt while in
her care, he would make her pay.
The caregiver, a woman in her 40s, was intimidated by Colin’s stern warning. She was reluctant to take
on the job but also didn’t want to miss out on the high sry. That was why she suppressed her
dissatisfaction and epted the role.
Colin was gone for almost three hours.
During that time, he sent me several messages, telling me not to worry and to just wait for him. He said
that he would be back soon with pumpkin soup.
Indeed, he returned close to noon. Not only did hee with pumpkin soup but also a bunch of light
purple daisies, which he ced beside my bed.
After two days in the hospital, the doctor said my wound was healing well. I could finally be discharged.
I was advised to watch my diet and return to the hospital in three days to remove the stitches.
Colin was overjoyed as he brought me home. While driving, he asked if I wanted to move out of the
apartment and live on my own. He said the incident had frightened him. If I stayed in the apartment, he
couldn’t always know where I was ore to my rescue immediately if danger arose.
Living elsewhere would be much safer. He offered to be my roommate to ensure my personal safety.
Living in the apartment was convenient, free, andfortable. Even though I could afford it, moving
out meant I would have to spend money. Besides, living off campus would mean a longermute
and, more inconvenience with meals and other daily needs./
Overall, the cons outweighed the pros. After weighing the options, I politely declined his offer.
He was somewhat disheartened by my refusal, even appearing awkward when his suggestion was
turned down.
When we arrived back at the apartment in the evening, the sky was aze with a red sunset. It looked
incredibly beautiful.

Unexpectedly, we ran into Felix at the front door of the apartment.
Having not seen him for a few days, he seemed thinner. He still looked strikingly handsome, just
gloomier.
He looked clean before, but now he looked unkempt.
Seeing Colin carefully helping me out of the car, he stepped forward with the intention of supporting my
other hand. But Colin pushed him away.
“Colin, what are you doing?” he asked coldly.
“Stay away from Lulu.” Colin was upromising, even with his only sibling.
Even if they were brothers, they were rivals in love. They would be extra jealous
of each other.
“I’m also heartbroken that Lulu is hurt. Why can you be by her side while I have to stay away?”
Felix was stubborn and insisted on getting an answer, showing an unreasonable determination. It
seemed like deliberate irrationality to me.
I didn’t understand why after causing me so much harm, he was still stubbornly trying to get close to
me. Was this what he meant by having feelings for me? If so, then such feelings were something I
wanted to escape from.
Colin stopped walking and fixed his eyes on Felix coldly. His gaze was dark, swirling with anger. “Do
you really want me to tell you why? Fine, I’ll tell you,
then.
“Ever since we were young, but especially in recent years, you bring disaster to Lulu every time you get
close to her. I don’t want her to suffer because of you anymore. So, you need to keep your distance. Do
you think this is reason enough?

Apart from the gentleness and warmth he showed when he was with me, Colin had always been
imposing. When he got serious, only a few people were not
afraid of him.
Felix had always been somewhat afraid of his brother since they were young, although it had lessened
as they grew older.
Felix’s body stiffened suddenly. The hands that were dangling at his sides clenched into fists. He did
not dare to say anything more.
