Chapter 367
“I know you resent me, Lulu. I made a mistakest time. I made an inconsiderate demand because I
was too afraid of losing Felix. I’m not going to apologize because I know it won’t help. Whether you
believe me or not, I want you to know that we don’t expect you to sacrifice yourself.
“That ident took ce when you were out buying medicine for Colin. If anything, Colin owes it to
Felix, not you. This is a family matter. It doesn’t fall on you to solve this problem.”

I stood up, poised to leave, but I decided to say my piece, “Colin’s debt is also debt. It doesn’t matter
who’s repaying the debt. Let me be frank with you, Aunt Mel. I’m not as selfless as you think. I’m not
sacrificing my love and my happiness for Felix.
“I’m doing this for Colin because I don’t want him to be wedged between Felix and me. I don’t want him
to make a decision that he’ll regret. Agreeing to be with Felix is just a temporary solution. I’ll find a cure
for him. And after that, I’ll go back to Colin.
“That said, even if it’s impossible to cure Felix, I still won’t marry him. But I’ll take care of him forever.
This is the bottom line and the only thing I can do for Felix.”
I pushed open the door to Felix’s ce just to see Colin grinning at me with keys in his hands.
He was eavesdropping again!
But when did he unlock the door? Why wasn’t I aware of it? How much of the conversation did he
overhear?
It felt awkward because he had heard the confession I made just now. I yed it cool and walked past
him, trying to leave hurriedly.
“Let me walk you out.” Colin closed the door and followed me downstairs. “Where has your courage
gone? Why are you so shy all of a sudden? Can you repeat the whole thing to me again? Stop
running.”
He knew I was embarrassed enough yet he didn’t want to let it slide. How annoying!
My cheeks were warm. I lowered my head and jogged further. Colin tailed closely behind me.
The neighborhood wasn’t that far from my campus, but traveling between them by foot and by car took
around the same time. Walking allowed us to cut through the streets whereas we’d need to take a
detour if we drove.
Knowing that I was mortified, Colin quit teasing me. He changed the conversation topic into something
that I was concerned about.
“I went to see your parents.”

“Okay.”
“Lulu, it won’t take too long. Just wait for me.”
“Okay.”
He stopped his car and peered at me grouchily. “My baby princess, can we have a proper
conversation? Because for once, Felix isn’t around to bother us. You cut me off from the rtionship.
You’re the one who didn’t trust me.
“Why are you behaving as if everything’s my fault and that you’re the victim?”
I was the victim. I was the biggest victim. I wouldn’t have had to do this if Felix hadn’t created so many
problems!
“Is it my fault now?” I barked back. I was irritated. Not only did I have to put up with Felix’s antics every
day, but I had to be reprimanded by Colin too. “I did what I did because I didn’t want you to suffer. If he
had jumped off the building, you would’ve lived your life in guilt.
“I sacrificed myself for you and I should feel bad about it? How dare you!”
He unbuckled his seat belt and pulled me into his embrace. The familiar pinewood scent enveloped
me. I took it in greedily, and the anger within me vanished instantly.
We hadn’t hugged each other for a few days. I had missed it so much, and his scent too.
“Alright, I’m sorry. I know you did it for me. I was just ranting, okay? Being abandoned feels awful. You
won’t hold grudges against your boyfriend who feels abandoned, will you?”
Abandoned boyfriend? He was trying to make himself look vulnerable. I had never given up on
him.
“Excuse me? Who are you? You’re not my boyfriend.” I crossed my arms and pouted.
Colin chuckled at my reaction. He seized my chin and kissed my lips.
