Chapter 277

Finding out the news himself must have shattered his heart completely.

Colin was right. Perhaps finding out this soon was a blessing to him. Either way, Lilac and he were never going to have a happy ending.

“I had someone check the surveillance cameras yesterday. Shawn hit you first. I’ve notified the police and requested experts to perform an injury evaluation on you. Someone will come here to ask you questions later. All you have to do is to tell the truth.”

“Okay.” That was the only response Felix gave.

After a restless night, I was tired and sleepy. Colin felt bad for me and drove me back to my apartment. He told me to get some rest and that he’d come to accompany me once he was done settling everything at the hospital.

But it was New Year’s. I didn’t want to spend it all alone in my apartment. Despite my reluctance, I knew it would be unreasonable to demand more of Colin, given Felix’s current dire situation. I resigned and went back to my apartment glumly.

Once I was home, I went to the balcony. Colin was still downstairs, and he

waved at me.

My grumpiness dissipated as soon as I saw Colin. I waved back and watched as he hopped back into his car.

After bathing, I put on my comfy pajamas, wished Mom a happy New Year, and went to bed to catch some shuteye.

I woke up later in the afternoon. When I looked at my phone, I saw that Dad and Mom wired me some money as their New Year’s blessing. I was over the moon. Then, I carried my “money–loaded” phone to the hospital.
