Chapter 361
The crisis negotiator sent in was a female police officer. She had a pair of dimples that made her look
extra cute. Sheforted Felix with her soothing voice while approaching him silently like a leopard.
Her small frame was taut with tension, waiting for the right opportunity.
As the female officer coddled to Felix, he slowly became quieter. He stopped yelling, but he still refused
to step down from the ledge.
Blindness rendered his auditory senses to be extra sensitive. When the officer was less than five steps
away from him, his neck jerked suddenly. He stared at where the officer was at. He threatened angrily,
“Come any closer and I’ll jump.”

The negotiator was forced to remain on the spot. She shrugged sorrily, telling us that the first attempt
was a failure.
Staying alive was our first instinct. I couldn’t believe that Felix would go this far.
Colin rubbed his face. The powerlessness to change the situation and the fear of losing his younger
brother pushed him to the brink of breaking down.
“Felix, listen to me. Do you not want me anymore? Do you not want Dad and Mom anymore? Mom
loves you so much, and Dad has a health problem. You won’t make them hold a funeral for their son,
will you? Without you, they’ll be devastated.
“Felix, listen to me. Come back. I can give you everything you want, even my life.”
Colin’s voice was hoarse. Tears rolled down from his puffy eyes.
My heart ached. It was all my fault.
None of this would have happened if I hadn’t insisted on buying Colin cold medicine.
Colin wouldn’t have had to deal with this tragedy.
I shouldn’t have fallen for Colin. I shouldn’t have agreed to let him be my boyfriend. I
deserved to be alone forever.
I was the reason why there was no way out of this predicament. I was a sinner.
“Colin, I don’t hate you. I just think that there’s no point in living. I see no light, no day or night. My legs
don’t work. I can’t walk or y basketball like I used to. My heart is empty. It’s aching and bitter. I made
so many mistakes and hurt her. I have no right to ask her to

“I have no other wishes, Colin. I don’t want your life. I don’t want to make our parents sad. But I can’t
live like this. How am I supposed to live without Lulu? I can’t. It’s too miserable for me. Just let me die,
Colin. I’m begging you. Don’t make me live without hope. It’s torturous.”
Colin clenched his teeth. He mustered every strength he had but failed to stop tears from gushing out.
Tears fell on the ground and sttered. They shattered like my heart.
I felt bad for putting Colin through this, but I shouldn’t do anything that could worsen the situation.
I ran and hugged Colin. In front of everyone, I kissed him. I kissed him with all my might. I suckled on
his lips and tongue.
He returned my hug and my kisses. We discarded shame and kissed each other deeply. Neither of us
wanted to let go of each other. We used every strength we had to seal our lips together.
The metallic taste of blood spread on our tongues. No one knew who bit who or whose injury
it was.
We let the physical pain take over. Perhaps it would reduce the pain our hearts felt.
Our tears mixed together, and they entered our mouths. Bitter and salty tears touched the wounds in
our mouths. It hurt.
I didn’t want to make the decision now, but Felix was threatening us with his life.
I couldn’t not make the decision. The stake was too high for me to lose. Felix couldn’t die. His life was a
debt too huge to be repaid.
“Sorry, Colin. I must-” I said with a pained voice.
“Don’t, Lulu. I can’t let you go. Believe me. I can handle this. Don’t make the decision that we will both
regret,” Colin interrupted me before I couldplete my sentence. His forehead touched mine, and his
tears dampened my will.
