Chapter 339
Colin had been looking after Felix tirelessly lately. And he had to make time to take care of me too. He must have been very busy, and that must have taken a toll on his physical health.
Unfortunately, I was injured. Handling my daily routine was the best I could do. I couldn’t do much to help him.
I felt so bad seeing Colin getting skinnier and skinnier.
Colin suddenly tightened his grip. I was caged in his embrace.
I didn’t know if I was overthinking it, but somehow, I was under the impression that Colin felt rather insecure.
“Babe, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll stay by my side, okay? ” asked Colin huskily. The incertitude in his tone was unfamiliar to me.
When did the almighty Colin become this insecure?
I stretched my arms to hug his lean frame, burying myself inside his hoodie and nibbling the skin above his chest. Then, I mumbled, “Why are you saying this, Mr. Colin White? Are you trying to dump me? Just so you know, if you ever dump me, I’ll haunt you in your dreams.
“And, I’ll revoke your status as my probational boyfriend.”
Colin smirked. He rubbed his chin against my noggin. “silly girl. Unless I’m dead, there’ll never be a day when I dump you.
Back then, I failed to understand why Colin asked me the question. I thought Colin needed reassurance because he was scared that he could never be my official boyfriend.
What happened later down the line told me that he had foreseen what would happen. He was scared. He wasn’t sure about the choice I’d make, so he sought an answer.
However, I understood what he wanted too late. My obliviousness hurt him, and I put him in a lot of pain.
Still, even if I had understood what he wanted, I would still need to make the choice when what would happen happened. And my choice would remain the same. Words were too powerless to change the outcome.
It’d still hurt.

I was destined to be intertwined with the Whites forever.
Felix woke up later at night while I was in his ward.
His
His eyes fluttered open, and he scanned his surroundings. Then, his gaze fell on me. At that moment, light returned to his beautiful eyes,
“Are you alright, Lulu?” he asked hoarsely but happily.
He was awake. How wonderful.
I answered with a shaky voice, “I’m okay. I only had minor injuries, and I’m almost healed. You saved me. Thank you.
“No need to thank me. I’ll do everything for you, Lulu. Nothing can bring me as much joy as seeing you safe and sound.”
Nothing could bring me as much joy as seeing him regain consciousness too.
“Come here.” He tried to beckon to me, but his injuries were too severe for that. He could only move his fingers.
Confused, I stood next to his bed. He stretched his arm to touch my left arm, which was encased by a cast.
