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 alsoN?velDrama.Org owns this.


    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? +15 BONUS 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.
