Chapter 334

I slid out of my blanket. Paying no mind to the agonizing pain in my body, I wanted to get out of bed to seek the answer.

The pain made me sweat profusely.

Colin pulled me into his arms tightly. He told me to behave and to rest because letting my wounds heal was more important.

He also told me that Felix wasn’t dead. He was in a coma in the ICU. He was still breathing.

Then, he began putting all the blame on himself. He said he shouldn’t have gotten sick and let me get medicine for him. He said he was the one who brought the tragedy upon Felix, that it had nothing to do with me.

He hugged me. His body was trembling while his eyes were glossy with tears.

All humans fell sick at least once in their lives. Colin had done nothing wrong, yet he believed that he was the reason behind the unfortunate event.

Felix wasn’t dead, but he wasn’t conscious either. No one knew if he’d ever wake up. And no one knew what would become of him if he ever woke up.

Waiting for an answer for the most torturous thing ever.

We waited for an answer that might or might not come. Like a paratrooper whose parachute refused to be released, there was only dread and despair.

Colin and I embraced each other and cried loudly until the sky turned dark.

What happened to Felix, Colin, and I? There was only misery and convoluted feelings in our relationship.

Hearing that Felix was still alive did make me feel relieved. I only hoped that he would be out of the ICU soon. I hoped that he would make a speedy recovery and return to the handsome

man I knew.

This was my hope and my redemption.

Colin and I only stopped crying when the doctor arrived.

He reproached Colin for not stopping me from making large movements. He also said that I had some serious injuries and that if I did not let them heal, they might leave permanent damage.

The wounds hurt a lot. But fortunately for me, only the left arm was injured. My right arm was safe, so I could still do anything I wanted.

My parents then came. One cleaned my face while the other tried to warm my legs by massaging them. Mom’s eyes and cheek were puffy from crying while Dad looked

devastated. He stared at my wounds as if he was trying to will them away.

“Austin and Melinda are here too. They’re staying with Felix now.” Dad’s eyes turned red. His brows were knitted together into a tight frown. “The doctor said that he’s in critical condition. He might have some permanent damage.

I had anticipated that. Regardless, I was glad that he survived.

Mom told me that Aunt Mel had come earlier to visit me. But I was sleeping, so she went back to Felix’s side.

detail I then asked them to tell me more about Felix. Dad said that he didn’t have every because visitors couldn’t barge into the ICU whenever they felt like it. They only managed to take a peek through the window pane and saw Felix lying on the bed with countless tubes on his body.

Judging from Colin’s tightening frown, Felix’s condition had to be awful.

I had tried several times to get out of bed to visit him. Felix saved my life. By right, I should go and see him.

However, I wasn’t able to do that.

Mom wasn’t fond of my decision, but she didn’t say anything either. Dad, however, agreed

with me.

He said that while Felix and Aunt Mel might have gone too far in the past, I wouldn’t be here if Felix hadn’t saved me.

I was raised to be a grateful girl. Felix saved my life, so I should visit him.
