Suddenly, my head began to hurt.If Colin hadn't come in time during the incident, I would've been completely destroyed.I had a stubborn nature. I knew I wouldn't have been able to live with the disgrace, so I could only choose death.The instigator of all this was Lilac, who was kneeling in front of my hospital bed while looking aggrieved.I didn't need to look for evidence. My intuition told me it was her, and I couldn't be wrong.No one else would do such a vicious thing, nor did anyone else have grievances with me enough to commit such an act.Seeing her appear, the hatred and anger in my heart were hot like lava. The fear of being overwhelmed during that incident and the fury from being harmed repeatedly were threatening to erupt all at once. I wished I could tear Lilac to pieces to quell the hatred in my heart.Perhaps my expression was too ferocious, so the usually bold Lilac instinctively dodged backward. She tried to grab Felix's hand, only for him to ruthlessly brus

I felt at ease entrusting Colin with the matter.He was the person I trusted the most.Before he left that day, he arranged for a caregiver to look after me. He insisted that if I got hurt while in her care, he would make her pay. The caregiver, a woman in her 40s, was intimidated by Colin's stern warning. She was reluctant to take on the job but also didn't want to miss out on the high salary. That was why she suppressed her dissatisfaction and accepted the role.Colin was gone for almost three hours.During that time, he sent me several messages, telling me not to worry and to just wait for him. He said that he would be back soon with pumpkin soup.Indeed, he returned close to noon. Not only did he come with pumpkin soup but also a bunch of light purple daisies, which he placed beside my bed.After two days in the hospital, the doctor said my wound was healing well. I could finally be discharged. I was advised to watch my diet and return to the hospital in three days to remov

The Whites were the Whites, and Colin was Colin. Would it really be a mistake to generalize things based on a few instances?I pondered for a long time to find the most accurate answer.…In the afternoon the day after I was discharged, I received a call from a police officer just after 2:00 pm.They mentioned that there were some details about that night's incident that needed my clarification. They could either come to me or I could go to the police station, but it had to be a face-to-face meeting.The police station was quite close to school. It was just two streets down the road from the side gate. Plus, Colin would accompany me there.Upon arriving, Felix was there too, with Lilac standing behind him. She looked aggrieved, and her eyes were red. When she saw me coming in, she glared at me fiercely before quickly lowering her head again. She went back to pretending to be a weak woman.I really couldn't understand her thought process.A normal person would be weeping and exp

Dad answered the door. When he saw Colin and I standing next to each other by the entrance, there was only one word to describe his look—flabbergasted.His jaw almost fell on the ground as if he had just made a groundbreaking discovery. For once, he forsook the gentility he wore as a teacher and ran toward the kitchen so wildly that his slippers shot across the room. He dragged Mom out.Mom was holding a cleaning rag in one hand and a bottle of dishwashing liquid in another. She, too, was rendered speechless by what she saw. Her mouth was agape. Were it not for the pair of glasses, her eyes would have popped out of their sockets.Seeing the extent of their confusion upon seeing me with another man and understanding how disastrous the consequences could be, I put down everything and explained it to them.Perhaps I was being too straightforward. Colin stood beside me expectantly while my parents were squirming with embarrassment.I was befuddled. Couldn't they just give me a simple

"It's okay. Meeting my future in-laws is more important. I can visit my parents later." Colin's words came out muffled because my finger was in his mouth. However, his tone was assertive."What if your parents won't allow us to date each other? You'll have impressed my parents for nothing," I said jokingly. But it was a valid concern of mine.What happened between Felix and I had damaged the two families' friendship. We were still close, but not as close as before.What if Melinda objected to our relationship to protect the friendship between our families?And truth be told, my feelings toward Felix were more of an infatuation during my adolescence.But I loved Colin now. I didn't want to end things with him.Melinda did not like that Felix was dating Lilac. She had repeatedly mentioned to my mom that she wanted Felix and me to reconcile. I categorically turned her down and went to date Felix's brother, Colin. That would make Melinda look very bad."Are you worried about me?"
