Chapter 286


    It was Colin. As soon as I answered the phone, I could hear his trembling


    voice.


    “Lulu, Felix fell into theke… He almost drowned. He’s under rescue now, but his vital signs are


    weak…”


    Before I hung up the call, I heard loud knockings on my door. I could also hear Aunt Mel’s cries through


    the door.


    Wasn’t Felix so sick that he couldn’t even walk? How did he get out? He learned to swim in the gym


    and even won swimmingpetitions in the district. How could he


    have almost drowned? Why was there ake in the hospital?


    It had only been a night, so how did he be like this? How could this happen?


    My thoughts were so messy that I felt like I had a splitting headache.


    Felix remained unconscious for the next two days, relying on an IV drip to keep his vital signs stable.


    Colin and Dad visited the doctor several times to inquire about Felix’s condition. The results were


    surprisingly consistent.


    “The patient has no significant physical issues, but we suspect that he has a serious psychological


    disorder. Perhaps he doesn’t want to confront a


    specific reality, so he chooses to sleep to escape it.”


    The doctor said that we needed to identify the source of the problem.


    Healing Felix’s psychological disorder would wake him up.


    With this news, the Lawsons and Whites were anguished. Everyone stayed


    in the hospital, hoping for a miracle to ur.


    Four dayster, Felix remained unconscious. Apart from asionally

    murmuring my name and asking me not to leave, he waspletely unaware of the outside world.


    Following the injury, he lost weight, and his skin was pale to the point of being translucent. Hey


    quietly, much like Sleeping Beauty from the fairy


    tale.


    Colin apanied Felix by the hospital bed throughout the day and night. With sunken eyes, he


    appeared listless, as if he were in a dark ce.


    Imuted between my home and the hospital every day. Mom expressed her concern that I had lost


    much weight.


    Everyone was doing all they could for Felix’s health. Only he, who was guarding the fantasy of


    nothingness, refused to awaken.


    Colin’s expression darkened every time Felix murmured my name, and my anxiety grew.


    My heart ached as I saw Colin be withdrawn and gaunt from worry.


    However, there was nothing I could do except stay with him.


    I spent thest two days reviewing everything that had transpired in the past six months. I knew the


    source of Felix’s problem, but I had no idea how to get him to wake up voluntarily.


    Lc’s betrayal and leaving surely hurt him deeply. He couldn’t bear the sorrow and despair, so he


    forced himself to return to the past, especially


    before he met her.


    What he said that day wasn’t for me but for 18–year–old Luna and 19–year-


    old Felix.


    That year, he was young and carefree, and I used to follow him. Perhaps he yearned for the younger


    me because I only focused on him back then. He believed I could rece the emotional void created


    by Lc’s leaving.


    In other words, he subconsciously wanted to use me to treat his emotional,

    I understood, and I assumed Colin did as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t suffer


    so much.


    During these days, he smoked a lot. He seemed to lose hope and support


    without the cigarettes.


    I felt sad for Colin and didn’t want him to be ufortable. I didn’t want to be Lc’s recement, let


    alone have any involvement with Felix.


    However, I might not have a choice when it came to Felix’s life, even if I was unwilling to grant his wish.
