Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 371

Chapter 371

Colin could not refuse when I insisted on an answer. After an awkward while, he finally

whispered, “I’m happy because my darling Lulu will return to me. I no longer have to worry about agitating Felix. I can finally hold your hand again.”

I knew this would be his answer, but I still felt shy when he said it. My cheeks reddened out of embarrassment. I instinctively acted coquettish by burying my face into his chest and nuzzling against him.

To think that Colin cared about me this much….

I even considered filling all the red flowers to end his probation period because of his sweet words.

Colin froze immediately, and his body soon heated up. When I noticed that he was about to lower his head and kiss me, I quickly stopped him.

“Why did you stop me?” Colin’s breathing got heavier, and he caressed my neck. His eyes. revealed a sense of desire.

“Felix will be undergoing surgery tomorrow, so we need to rest. We’ll have many opportunities to kiss in the future,” I whined cutely, causing him to pinch my waist helplessly.

I wasn’t sure why, but he seemed to like touching my waist. He would wrap an arm around my waist when we were walking together. Whenever we sat down, he’d always hug me. Even at this emotional moment, he was still holding my waist.

“Be good, now. Once Felix makes a full recovery and gets discharged from the hospital, cant you end my probation period? I’d like to become your official boyfriend in advance,” Colin coaxed me in a gentle tone. He used the opportunity to list out his conditions.

I just laughed in response. Colin pinched me again while feeling a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

At that moment, Felix let out a low groan as he turned his head toward us. His eyelashes trembled slightly as well. We both promptly shut up, not daring to speak further.

Everyone got up early to prepare for Felix’s surgery. He had been lying on the bed silently. His anticipation of making a full recovery had already fizzled out at that time.

We noticed his strangeness, but we thought it was probably due to his uneasiness. He would be starting a brand new chapter in his life after all.

At 9:00 am, our families wheeled Felix into the operating room under the accompaniment of the medical team.

He grasped my hand before entering the operating room. “Lulu, please wait for me. Don’t leave.”

His voice quivered as if he was sobbing. Of course, I wouldn’t leave. I wanted to stay until 1 knew his surgery was a success.

“Don’t worry, Felix. All of us will be waiting for you. We won’t leave.”

I assumed that he expected a promise from me. He was terrified I would leave him once he recovered.

I was unsure if I had correctly predicted his thoughts. However, I couldn’t promise him anything. Everything would return to normal once he recovered. At that point, I no longer owed him anything.

The surgery spanned for six whole hours. That was how long we stood and waited outside the operating room. None of us spoke. No one complained about being tired or impatient.

Matthew and Helen also came and stayed with me patiently. We all had the same wish and prayed that the surgery would be successful.

On the fourth hour of the surgery, George exited the operating room, looking a little exhausted. Then, he removed his surgical cap and gazed at us calmly.

All of us stood there nervously, afraid to approach him. We had high hopes. At the same time, we worried the results wouldn’t be as expected.

Matthew was the first to walk over and reach out. “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Skeldon. Since the patient’s family is quite nervous at the moment, I’ll be the one asking for an update on their behalf. Is the…”

He paused before asking, “Is the surgery going well?”

George arched a brow in response. He took off his surgical cap and flung it into a trash can meant for hazardous materials before arrogantly stating, “Since I’m the chief surgeon, nothing would go wrong.”

I wondered if he always had this attitude toward everyone. He exuded confidence all the time.

After saying that, he strode away without looking at us.

Matthew approached me and smiled. “Congratulations.”

That was when I finally realized that the surgery was a success.
