Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 501

Didn't she tell me that they were friends? Suddenly, she confessed that she was in love with him. Women sure changed their minds like they changed their clothes. What were truths and lies anymore?

Colin tilted his head and looked at me. He smiled. Perhaps my angry expression amused him. Fire of passion burned in his eyes. Abashed, I pinched his waist hard.

What was so funny about me? I was acting like an uncouth woman because of him!

Colin seized my fist and put it against his lips. The warm and tender sensation on the back of my hand soothed my heart.

"Love is a seed that sprouts when the right person is there. Ms. Taylor, you saved my life, and for that, I'm grateful to you. I'll pay for your medical bills, compensate you, and do anything for you as long as it's legal. But you must know that I can't give you the love you want.

"And don't do this again. You're above it. If you don't love yourself, no one is going to love you. I'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. We'll consult the doctor on Monday as planned. It's late now. I don't want to keep you up. I've paid for your stay, so rest well."

Colin grabbed me and left decisively. "Colin," Jasmine called out despondently.

He stopped but did not turn back. "Oh, I took the liberty to find you a female caretaker who will check on you 24/7. I think it's more convenient this way. You can call me if there's a problem, but I hope I won't run into such a scenario ever again."

He then closed the door behind him. I couldn't hear Jasmine's sobbing as the door was in the way. I only caught snippets of "How could he do this?" and "This is so unfair."

What fairness did she want? Love came when it came, and no one could decide who could claim it rightfully. There was no fairness in love. Besides, she was the one who barged into our relationship. Colin did not have feelings for her, yet she wanted to destroy our relationship.

Where was my fairness, then? What about me?

Impassively, Colin left the suite as the tall man looked at him with a mix of emotions. We passed through the corridor, took the elevator, and returned to our room. Colin was quiet, seemingly pissed. He didn't even look at me as he dragged me away.
