Chapter 279


    When Colin left, Felix was asleep.


    Bored, I scrolled on my phone on my chair. When I lifted my head, I caught Felix staring at me.


    My heart sank, and I looked at the entrance reflexively. But Colin had only just left. He wouldn’t be back


    this soon.


    For some reason, I was afraid of Felix now that he was awake. He looked like he might hurt me


    because there was something unfamiliar and brooding in


    his eyes.


    “Are you that afraid of me?” asked Felix with a hoarse voice.


    “Sorry, no. I was distracted.”


    “Lulu, do you resent me for what I’ve done to you?”


    “No, not at all. I was young and naive back then, and I did cause you a great deal of trouble. I was at


    fault too. Why would I resent you? Besides, I’m over it now. So don’t let that bother you.”


    The corner of his lips broke into a barely perceivable smile. “Is that true?”


    “Yes. I don’t resent you. In fact, I’m grateful to you. If you hadn’t given me that wake–up call, I would’ve


    never noticed how sweet Colin was. I would truly be unhappy if I missed out on Colin.”


    His smile froze. His expression darkened, and I cowered, afraid of the vibe he was giving off.


    “Do you like Colin that much?”


    Perhaps what I said somehow triggered him. There was now an air of malice around him. I could only


    reply to him with simple responses for the rest of


    our conversation.

    Now that Colin wasn’t with me, I should take great care not to ruffle Felix’s


    feather.


    “I have never imagined that I’d fall for Colin one day–not even before you asked me to look for a


    boyfriend. But Colin is very sweet. And I’m falling for


    him more and more as time goes by.”


    I told Felix what I felt.


    “If I had not done what I did, would you be falling for me like you’re falling


    for Colin now?”


    This was a difficult question. The scene of a handsome, wless Felix appeared in my mind. Standing


    there, he belittled me like a demon.


    If what happened during that Thanksgiving had not taken ce, perhaps I would have continued to


    have a crush on him. Or I might have woken up


    from this delusion one day and decided to forget him.


    I thought about the question and answered, “I don’t want to entertain hypothetical questions.”


    “I don’t know what got into me. I wanted to run away from you, and I loved Lc. But after Lc and I


    began dating, I kept thinking about you. I know that’s bad. I didn’t want to be a yboy. I didn’t want to


    hurt Lc after I


    broke your heart.


    “So I forced myself to be heartless toward you so that you’d stay away from


    me.”


    Felix looked at the IV drip and reminisced.


    Honestly, I couldn’t care less about the past, and I didn’t want to waste time talking about the past with


    him either. However, we were the only ones in the ward. As long as it helped to soothe his temper, I’d


    let him ramble on


    and be a patient listener.

    I would just take it as though I was listening to a story. There was no need to

    get too involved.


    “And you did stay away from me. I couldn’t contact you for months, and you stopped reaching out. I


    spent all my time and energy on Lc, telling myself that I should love Lc. People at Jesselton


    College said we were couple


    goals.


    “But little did they know, when I was all alone at night, you appeared in my mind. I dreamed about you


    —the you under the tree, the you wearing a long blue dress, the you with straight, ck hair, the you


    with the mesmerizing smile, the you who was tearing up, the you who was leaving me behind.”
