Chapter 347


    , and I can’t walk. I feel so lonely, Mom. I don’t want to live.”


    Felix stared emptily at the ceiling. His hand reached out to grab something, but there was nothing. He


    put it down dejectedly and left thement.


    He wore a calm expression when he said that. There was no emotion in his lightless eyes. It sounded


    mundane like he was saying he wanted a burger for lunch. Yet he was using his life to force everyone


    to y by his rules.


    Perhaps he did know that we were all there.

    Aunt Mel wailed. She grabbed Felix’s right arm and cried loudly, “No, Felix. You shouldn’t have those


    thoughts. Dad and Mom are here. We’ll stay by your side forever. You won’t be lonely, Felix. Trust me.


    Trust your mom.”


    “But what do I do after you’re dead?” continued Felix emotionlessly. Like a fragile, porcin doll, he


    elicited empathy. But the words he uttered cut deep.


    My heart was icy all over. Coldness crept through my body, starting from my toes. In an instant, I felt


    like an icicle hanging under the roof in winter.


    Every inch of my skin froze over.


    Felix had used his life to cast a on me. It bound me tightly, leaving me no way to escape.


    “Stop talking nonsense! I’m not that old yet. I can live for many years toe. Maybe you’ll recover


    and your eyesight will return?”


    Felix fell silent. Only sobs could be heard in the ward. Other than that, it was eerily silent.


    I was lost and disoriented. I saw dark tendrils in the corners of my eyes. “What do I do,


    Colin?”


    Before Colin could answer, I copsed in his arms. I heard my parents and Colin calling out my name


    earnestly. Mom was crying, and Colin was choking on his tears. Something hot fell on my face, burning


    me.


    My eyes fluttered open as Mom gently called my name.


    I was lying on the bed in the emergency room. Colin was holding my hand as he stood next to me. His


    eyes were puffy.

    “She’s fine now. She copsed from the shock. Make sure she gets enough rest. And don’t do anything


    that’ll make her emotional. Otherwise, it might leave some permanent damage.”


    Dad thanked the doctor and walked him out.


    “Colin, what do I do?” I asked in tears.


    Colin kneeled and covered his eyes with the back of my hand.


    After nearly a month, this sturdy man who could always make me feel safe was crying once


    more.


    “I don’t know. It’s all my fault. I dragged you into this. Why did I fall sick? It’s my fault.” Colin put the


    me on himself. His words became more and more incoherent until a guttural sob was left.


    Aunt Mel came. Afraid, I hid under my nket.


    She helped Colin stand up and patted his hand to console him. Then, she touched my cold cheek and


    smiled dryly. “Lulu, rest assured. I’m here to tell you that it’s Felix’s destiny to endure this hardship with


    Colin. You’re caught in the crossfire, that’s all.


    “Felix won’t regain his eyesight if you date him, nor will he turn evil if he doesn’t date you. I made a


    mistake by forcing you back then. But this time, I won’t repeat the same mistake.


    “You’re right. Colin is my son too. I shouldn’t y favorites and trade one son’s happiness for another.


    Felix is already unhappy. I don’t want Colin to be unhappy too. Don’t force yourself to do something you


    don’t want to, Lulu.


    “If you love Colin, then stay with Colin. Have a happy life together.”
