Chapter 301 | sat beside Felix’s bed, considering what to say. | used to believe that 18 years were a long time.
However, when | was 22, | realized there wasn’t much to talk about when | recalled it. “Felix, you're such a coward. What are you trying to escape from by lying here? You're tall, handsome, and a top student who ranked in the top three on all exams. Many girls had had a crush on you and wanted to pursue you. If | hadn't stupidly helped you avoid them all those years, you might have gotten in trouble. “I don’t mind you not appreciating me, but you're now torturing us. You're so heartless. Perhaps being cruel is your true nature. You appear unachievable, after all. Others believe you're indifferent, and many girls think you’re out of reach. “It’s alright if you keep your disinterest in everything. But why did you hide Matthew's love letters from me? You've done too many awful things that God hasn't spared you. That's why you have no choice but to lie here and listen to my accusatory comments.

He stood close to me, smiling gently. 1/2: When the doctor cover for ward rounds after the shift, he stated that Felix was doing well and all indicators were normal. He asked us to keep working hard and speak to Felix more about the things he cared about and took to heart. It would be beneficial to wake him up soon. Colin soon persuaded Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel to rest at home. He stayed withafter buying my favorite food. As there was no dining table in the ward, we leaned against the window sill, cuddled up.
We fed each other and had the sweetest meal. Of course, it was unfortunate that we had an unpleasant New Year. However, it wasn't too horrible with Colin by my side. After dinner, | still needed to talk to Felix. | was impatient, but | had no other way. Rather than speaking with Felix, | preferred to sit with Colin and enjoy the tranquility of the sunset, but | had to do what | had promised. Regardless of how impatient | was, | had to hold on.
