Chapter 346


    I felt pressure crushing my chest, so much so that I struggled to breathe. It was as if a hook had


    gripped my heart and yanked it out of my body.


    The thing I feared most about, the one thing that had been hanging heavy on my mind, had finally


    arrived.


    I finally understood the words he had mouthed at me that morning in his house. He was saying, “If I


    save you, your life will be mine.”


    He had sharpened and polished those words until they became silver des that could slice through


    me.

    Everything had been part of his n. He had just been waiting for an opportunity.


    The rain, the downpour that blurred my vision, the vehicle that sped through, Colin falling sick and


    resting in his apartment… Everything yed out ording to the n he had


    devised.


    The puzzle pieces came together.


    Colin, his family, me, and even himself were pawns in his scheme. Felix plotted everything


    to bind me to his side, even at the cost of his own life.


    He put his life on the line to separate Colin and me.


    What a ruthless man.


    He was ruthless to me; he was ruthless to himself.


    However, he jeopardized his own health to enact a confusing yet borate n just to obtain me,


    whom he used to despise. Was it worth it?


    “What are you on about, Felix?” Colin was entering the ward when he heard Felix’s demand.


    He steadied me and hollered at him.


    “Colin, is Lulu here? I can smell her. She’s here, isn’t she?” Felix asked gently, paying no heed to


    Colin’s question.


    He had lured me into a trap. I should despise him to the core.


    Yet looking at his sickly frame on the bed, I saw that his eyes were soulless and his legs were lifeless. I


    didn’t have it in me to hate him. He was so frail.

    But his n plunged me into the depths of pain.


    I could no longer love him, yet I could no longer hate him either. It was a miserable feeling.


    I wanted to speak, but Colin held me back. He added with teary eyes, “No, Lulu has sses today.”


    “You’re lying. You think I can’t see, so you’re lying. I can smell her. Lulu is here, and so are Aunt Harper


    and Uncle Gerald. All of you are trying to fool me.”


    His voice was faint and weak


    For a moment, I was bewildered.


    I once read that when someone turned blind, their other senses would be augmented. Felix couldn’t


    see anything, but his nose had be so sensitive that he could distinguish people


    via their scents.


    Was it true, then?


    Colin hugged me while I dissociated. I felt cold, and I couldn’t see anything. The sun outside was bright


    and warm, signaling the arrival of spring. But I couldn’t see the light or feel the


    warmth.


    A disembodied voice told me that if Felix was disabled forever, the light in my life would disappear too.


    There would only be darkness in my future.


    “If I save you, your life will be mine.”


    What a powerful curse.


    Colin tightened his embrace, his tall frame rigid. As always, his hug was so warm that I never wanted to


    leave it. But it did little to quell the overwhelming despair I was feeling.
