Chapter 290


    It was as if something had suddenly pierced my heart. It stung so badly that I couldn’t stand it. I leaned


    against the wall with difficulty and cried quietly.


    I never expected Aunt Mel to say such a thing after we had known each other


    for almost 20 years.


    Although she wasn’t my biological mother, she should be aware of my personality and have an


    urate assessment of me.


    Her attitude toward the incident between Felix and me led me to believe as

    much.


    However, when her son’s life was in danger, she appeared to be a different person, prone to saying


    harsh words.


    I couldn’t see the familiar Aunt Mel anymore. In other words, except for Colin, I was unfamiliar with the


    rest of the White family.


    “Mom, don’t nder Lulu. She didn’t say anything. This has nothing to do with her. You can’t put


    pressure on her.”


    “Okay, I won’t pressure her. But you must give her to your brother. Go break up with her. She’ll listen to


    you.”


    “Why, Mom? Why must you force me?”


    Colin’s voice quivered. “Lulu is my girlfriend. Do you know how many years. I’ve been waiting for this


    day? I can understand if you aren’t happy with me. But how can you say such things? She has the right


    to make her own choices.


    “Why should I give in? I’m deeply in love with her. I’ve had a crush on her for more than 20 years. Why


    should I give her to Felix?” He sobbed, voice filled with deep grief and rage.


    Men wouldn’t cry easily. I could tell Colin was anguished.

    “I’ve liked her since she was born. For over 20 years, she’s everything to me.


    It was just that she was promised to Felix at that time. Regardless of how much I liked her, I couldn’t


    confess to her. When Felix rejected her, she became depressed.


    “I did my best to please her and encouraged her to joinpetitions. She managed to ovee her


    sadness and return to her cheerful self. And now she’s willing to ept me. Mom, do you realize how


    thrilled I was when she agreed to be my girlfriend? I was going crazy with joy.


    “I understand that you are desperate to save Felix. You want him to live, and so do I. However, Lulu is


    my life. Are you going to trade my life for his? I’m also your son. Why are you being so unfair?”


    Colin burst into tears. Hearing that, I wanted to open the door, hug him, and tell him I would never leave


    him, no matter who forced me.


    Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t ideal. My interruption might irritate Aunt Mel and cause trouble for


    Colin..


    I had no idea he loved me so genuinely. I felt heartbroken to hear him say


    that.


    I went to a secluded spot, wiped away my tears, and returned to the ward once my emotions had


    calmed.


    Uncle Austin had finished wiping down Felix’s body. He was sitting in a chair, squeezing Felix’s feet.


    After a while, Colin returned with reddened eyes. It was obvious that he had cried. I pretended not to


    notice and sat next to him. Regardless of who was in the room, I nestled into his arms and gently


    leaned against him.


    His stiff body gradually rxed. Then, he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pressing me against


    his chest.
