Все главы Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Глава 341 - Глава 350

What Helen said warmed my heart. It made me realize that in life, love and family weren't the only things that could warm one's soul. Friendships could too.…Ten days after the accident, which was also the second day after I was discharged, Professor King called me in the morning. He told me that I needed to see him in the office for something important.My left arm was injured, not my leg, so I happily complied.Besides, I could hear the faint excitement in his voice. There had to be good news, so I should be there.Carrying my out-of-cast yet bandaged left arm with my right arm, I rushed to Professor King's office under everyone's curious eyes.Professor King said he had two pieces of good news.One, the result of my previous competition was announced. I did well and obtained second place, which meant I'd receive a reward of 150,000 dollars after tax. My current submission had to be better or I risked ruining my own reputation.Two, my art had attracted the attention of a co

"What's the matter, Colin?" I asked worriedly.Colin rubbed his face with his hands, yet the fatigue, the pain, and the frustration in his eyes persisted."Lulu, Felix is blind now. He also can't feel anything below his knees.What?Upon hearing the bad news, I almost slumped to the ground. It was as if something heavy was pressed on my shoulders, threatening to flatten me."How can this be? He could still see two days ago. How could he turn blind so suddenly? Also, I massaged his calves and he could feel it then. Is this a misdiagnosis? Colin, get a second opinion." I fumbled and came up with a response."The doctor said that there are blood clots in his brain. They moved and pressed against his nerves, causing him all these symptoms.""Then take them out. Can't we remove the blood clots with surgery?""The doctor said that the blood clots are located in a sensitive area. He'll be blind if we let them be. But if the surgery goes awry, he might be handicapped forever. Also, the

Dad and Mom went to the hospital right away. Colin wasn't there. Aunt Mel was stunned to see my parents. Then, she slowly nodded and uttered, "Harper, we're even now."Mom choked on her tears and grabbed Aunt Mel's hands. "No, Melinda. We owe Luna's life to Felix."Upon hearing what Mom said, the brave front Aunt Mel was putting up finally collapsed. Tears came gushing out of her eyes. "Don't say that, Harper. It's all karma. I know it.""What do you mean? If karma does exist, good things will happen to Felix because he saved Lulu. He will get better."They held each other's hands and consoled each other with reddened eyes.The accident brought solace to the pain from the past. They reconciled.This should be the best thing that had happened out of this mishap.Felix was awake. His eyes darted toward the entrance when he heard the sound of an opened door. Then, he sat there motionlessly.The eyes that I knew so well were still beautiful. But there was no soul in them. They were

"I can't see, and I can't walk. I feel so lonely, Mom. I don't want to live."Felix stared emptily at the ceiling. His hand reached out to grab something, but there was nothing. He put it down dejectedly and left the comment.He wore a calm expression when he said that. There was no emotion in his lightless eyes. It sounded mundane like he was saying he wanted a burger for lunch. Yet he was using his life to force everyone to play by his rules.Perhaps he did know that we were all there.Aunt Mel wailed. She grabbed Felix's right arm and cried loudly, "No, Felix. You shouldn't have those thoughts. Dad and Mom are here. We'll stay by your side forever. You won't be lonely, Felix. Trust me. Trust your mom.""But what do I do after you're dead?" continued Felix emotionlessly. Like a fragile, porcelain doll, he elicited empathy. But the words he uttered cut deep.My heart was icy all over. Coldness crept through my body, starting from my toes. In an instant, I felt like an icicle han

Mom grabbed Aunt Mel's hands over the long, rectangular desk. She kept apologizing and thanking her while crying.Colin and I held each other's hand. I snuggled in his arms. As always, he was warm, but I felt cold. I fell more and more in love with him as each day went by.But the image of Felix lying in a pool of blood and his soulless body on the bed would never get out of my head.While Aunt Mel's words managed to bring me some solace, what would Felix do? He trapped me with his life. He saved my life. Would he give up?If one day, his condition was declared incurable and he chose death, how was I going to face that?If I had to make the choice… My heart was telling me to pick Colin. Yet my mind told me that I should pick Felix because he got hurt while saving me. I wanted to repay my debt to him. I couldn't leave him high and dry heartlessly.What a dilemma.And if I followed my heart and picked Colin, would we be happy living with that decision?…"I won't be happy, Lulu.
