My heart grew cold. My intuition toldthat it was going to be difficult today.
“Mel, get up! What are you doing? If you have trouble, we can find a solution. You don’t need to do this. You are scaring Lulu.” Mom took Aunt Mel's hand and attempted to help her up.

“Aunt Mel, it’s the doctor's job to save people. | can’t do it.” | managed to calm down and tried to reason with her.
Unfortunately, it was a futile hope.
Aunt Mel was like a gambler. She knew full well that the outcwas uncontrollable, but she persistently believed her choice was correct and refused to look back.
She was betting for Colin to give in, that | would be soft-hearted, and that she could make her dreams ctrue in the end.
“No, you can do it! I've asked the fortune teller. He said Felix’s cure is you. As long as you're with him, all his bad luck will dissipate. He'll get better then.” a Hmph, she still wantedto be with Felix, but why should I? Did | have any duty or obligation to save someone who didn’t want to live? Who Instructed the fortune teller to say this? | couldn't agree with her for the sake of my relationship with Colin.
Not to mention, Felix had done numerous things that hurtand pushedinto despair.
