Chapter 345


    Dad and Mom went to the hospital right away. Colin wasn’t there. Aunt Mel was stunned to


    see my parents. Then, she slowly nodded and uttered, “Harper, we’re even ”


    Mom choked on her tears and grabbed Aunt Mel’s hands. “No, Melinda. We owe Luna’s life


    to Felix.”


    Upon hearing what Mom said, the brave front Aunt Mel was putting up finally copsed. Tears came


    gushing out of her eyes. “Don’t say that, Harper. It’s all karma. I know it.”


    “What do you mean? If karma does exist, good things will happen to Felix because he saved Lulu. He


    will get better.”


    They held each other’s hands and consoled each other with reddened eyes.


    The ident brought sce to the pain from the past. They reconciled.


    This should be the best thing that had happened out of this mishap.


    Felix was awake. His eyes darted toward the entrance when he heard the sound of an opened door.


    Then, he sat there motionlessly.


    The eyes that I knew so well were still beautiful. But there was no soul in them. They were like two


    bottomless pits.


    There was a new scar on his forehead and a fading, red handprint on his left cheek. They weren’t there


    when I came to visit yesterday. I supposed Felix woke up after I left. He then tried to harm himself and


    was punished for it. However, I didn’t know who pped him.


    “Mom, who’s here?”


    My mom wanted to speak, but Aunt Mel shook her head to stop her. Respecting Aunt Mel’s wishes,


    Mom swallowed whatever she wanted to say.


    “It’s the nurse. She’s here to check on your IV bag. How are you feeling? Do you feel unwell?

    Aunt Mel pulled Felix’s nket over him and tucked his hand outside back into it. She performed the


    action gently as if she were handling a fragile doll.


    “It’s so dark.” Disappointed, Felix’s eyes darted to the ceiling. Like someone who had given up on


    hope, he did not care whether he was alive or dead. It pained me to see him like this.


    In a world without light, there was only darkness.


    Without a miracle, his world would forever be dim.

    I made him blind. I was the sinner. 1


    I closed my eyes, imagining how it’d be to live forever in the void that light could never reach. After five


    minutes, I felt lonely and despair.


    It felt like I was walking aimlessly in a tunnel without an end, like I was searching everywhere but I


    couldn’t find the exit. Despair seized me again and again until I could feel my spirits wilting.


    Was this Felix’s future?


    I leaned against the wall, defeated.


    If only I were hit by the car. If only I were the one turning blind and handicapped. I’d rather suffer this


    myself than deal with this overwhelming sense of guilt. I was too powerless to change anything.


    I owed my life to Felix. Even though I hated to owe him anything, I now owed him something that I


    could never repay.


    I wept silently.


    If possible, I would donate my eyes and my legs to Felix. I wanted him to be healthy, to be the


    handsome guy I used to know.


    Mom was moved to tears too. She covered her mouth and began sobbing.


    Suddenly, life returned to Felix’s eyes. He raised his left arm and pointed at the door.


    Aunt Mel held his hand and inquired, “What do you want, Felix? Tell me. I’ll bring it to you.”


    ‘Mom, can I have Lulu?”


    His request shocked me. I staggered, almost slumping to the ground. My body trembled uncontrobly.
