Chapter 343


    “What’s the matter, Colin?” I asked worriedly.


    Colin rubbed his face with his hands, yet the fatigue, the pain, and the frustration in his persisted.


    “Lulu, Felix is blind now. He also can’t feel anything below his knees.


    What?


    eyes


    Upon hearing the bad news, I almost slumped to the ground. It was as if something heavy was pressed


    on my shoulders, threatening to tten me.


    “How can this be? He could still see two


    days ago. How could he turn blind so suddenly? Also, I massaged his calves and he could feel it then.


    Is this a misdiagnosis? Colin, get a second opinion.” I fumbled and came up with a response.


    “The doctor said that there are blood clots in his brain. They moved and pressed against his nerves,


    causing him all these symptoms.”


    “Then take them out. Can’t we remove the blood clots with surgery?”


    “The doctor said that the blood clots are located in a sensitive area. He’ll be blind if we let them be. But


    if the surgery goes awry, he might be handicapped forever. Also, there are a lot


    of blood clots.


    “Even after the surgery, they mighte back in the future. Unless there’s a way to remove all the


    blood clotspletely, no surgery will be performed.”


    “But we can’t just do nothing, can we?” I said impatiently.


    Felix had to be safe. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.


    The bad news was enough to drain the blood from my limbs. I no longer had the appetite to eat or


    attend sses, so I found a spot nearby and sat down. I wouldn’t want to trip myself on a busy corridor.


    People would panic.


    The long–gone dread made aeback. And this time, it hit harder.


    “The best solution is to wait till his body absorbs the blood clots itself. However, this will take a long


    time. Don’t worry about him, Lulu. Eat and go to your sses. I called to let you know that Felix couldn’t


    handle the news very well, so I might need to spend more time with


    him.

    “I won’t be able to hang out with you, but please, if somethinges up, reach out to me.”


    “Okay, Colin. I’ll visit him after my ss.”


    I still wasn’t able to snap back to reality after the call had ended. My mind was abuzz. All I could think


    of was Felix sitting in a wheelchair with an ashen expression.


    If he truly turned blind and handicapped, how should I face him? How should I face his parents? How


    should I face Colin? What would happen to the budding rtionship between Colin and me?


    All this happened because I insisted on buying Colin medicine.


    Not in the mood to eat, I went to a quiet corner and called Mom.


    I was so distraught right now that I could only rely on my parents.


    It was still early in the morning, so Dad and Mom hadn’t left for work yet. When I told them about Felix’s


    condition, they expressed their concerns. They told me that they would visit him tomorrow since it was


    a Saturday.

    They also told me to calm down. When there was a will, there was a way. Maybe a miracle would


    happen.


    Later that night, Helen drove me to the hospital. Felix was sleeping on his side. I stood by the entrance,


    afraid of entering the ward.


    I wondered if it was just me or if everyone thought the same too. Felix was thinner than before. His skin


    was pale, and he looked deted.


    “He’s been throwing a tantrum for the entire day. He won’t eat or drink. He only slept after the doctor


    gave him a sedative.” Colin was afraid of rousing Felix. He dragged me to the benches outside, and we


    talked over there.


    Colin kept rubbing his temples. He was at his wit’s end.


    “There must be a way. Medical science is so advanced now. They’re just blood clots. How hard is it to


    deal with them?”
