Chapter 335
Colin fell silent for a very long time when I told him that i wanted to visit Felix. I thought he’d dissuade me. In the end, he just patted my head and told me to wait till my wounds were healed and Felix’s condition stabilized.
If I insisted on going now, I would only be allowed to see Felix from the door. What was the point of visiting him if we couldn’t meet in person?
In the evening, Mom wanted to feed me chicken noodle soup. I tried to turn her down because I could feed myself since my right arm was not wounded. However, Morn began crying. Honestly, ever since I was hospitalized, Mom had mastered the art of summoning tears whenever.
Not wanting to make my mom cry over dinner, I let her do what she wanted to do.
As I chomped on the spoonful of chicken soup, I lifted my eyes and saw Matthew standing by the entrance.
Looking dashing and well–groomed, he was carrying a large bouquet of baby’s breath in one hand and a huge fruit basket in another. Then, he smiled at me and greeted my mom courteously.
Under my mom’s apprehensive gaze, he entered the ward, put down the flowers and the fruit basket, and introduced himself, “Hi, Mrs. Lawson. I’m Matthew, Lulu’s high school classmate. I heard that she was injured. I wonder if there’s anything I can do to help her?”
Raised by his amicable grandmother, Matthew was gentlemanly and polite.
“Matthew? That rings a bell.” Mom then moved aside to get Matthew a seat. She tried to recall anything about Matthew in her brain.
“Remember the high school graduation photo? The chubby guy behind Lulu is me.”
Mom covered her forehead and exclaimed, “Look at me. Right, you’re that chubby boy. I must say, you’ve changed so much. The chubby boy has grown into a tall, handsome man. You lost so much weight. Did you go on a diet or something?”
When Colin came in, he saw me trying to drink the soup myself while Mom and Matthew engaged in a friendly conversation like two old friends who had just reunited. His expression darkened.
Matthew sure had a good sense of humor because he managed to make my mom laugh non- stop. It was quite impressive.

“You don’t look too well. Do your wounds hurt? Put it down. Let me feed you.” The displeasure in Colin’s eyes flashed briefly.
He glanced at Matthew, greeted my mom, and sat opposite me. Then, he took the last spoonful of chicken soup and fed me.
“It’s okay, Colin. I’m almost done.” I tried to snatch the bowl back, but he dodged me easily. Then, he shoved the last spoonful of chicken soup into my mouth and wiped the sweat beads
on my nose.
After I swallowed the chicken soup, Colin kissed me in front of Mom and Matthew. “You finished everything. What a good girl.”
After Colin became my “probational” boyfriend, he kissed me many times. But he mostly kissed me on my forehead, cheek, or nose. That was my first kiss on the lips, and he did it in front of Mom and Matthew. I was flustered.
I wanted to protest and say that he shouldn’t be this bold since my mom was there. However, the jealousy and warning signs in his gaze silenced me. I swallowed whatever I wanted to say.
Urgh. Whatever. What was done was done. I’d find an opportunity to kiss him back for sweet
revenge.
The light in Matthew’s eyes quickly dimmed. In his captivating eyes, something seemed to have shattered.
