Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Chapter 46

If it weren’t for the kind old man I encountered, I would be a lifeless body by now. And a simple sorry couldn’t reverse the situation.

If I had known that the barbecue dinner with him would lead to this. I wouldn’t have gone, even if it meant death. I blamed it on my lack of willpower.

So, it was my own fault, not his. I didn’t need his light–hearted apology after he left me alone to face ite and death.

Felix seemed to sense my indifference. He leaned forward and reached out to check my forehead temperature. He was about to say something when I avoided his touch and cut off his yet–unspoken words. “I’m tired and need rest. Leave, and don’t come back.”

Perhaps my coldness made him uncomfortable. Guilt appeared in his eyes as he tried to justify himself. Lulu, you never used to treat me like this.”

With a faint smile, I squinted my eyes against the harsh sunlight. “The past is the past, and I’ve already apologized for my mistakes. There’s no need to bring it up again.”

It had been over a decade, and I had always treated him like a deity.

I turned away and closed my eyes, shutting out everyone.

The hospital room fell into silence, disrupted only by the quiet rhythm of a few people breathing.

“Gerald, Lulu endured severe injuries and nearly lost her life this time. It was all Felix’s fault. We’ve come

to sincerely apologize, and you…”

My usually refined and gentle dad abruptly cut off Uncle Austin. His typically warm voice now held a rare trace of anger. “Austin, Lulu doesn’t blame Felix, so don’t worry.”

He continued, “She was lucky not to have lost her life in the storm drain, and we’re grateful for that. The doctor just said Lulu needs rest. I won’t send you off.”
