Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 399

Colin pinched my cheek affectionately but with a hint of exasperation. "Alright now, be good. Two months will pass by quickly. Tell me what you want and I'll bring it back for you. Queenie, during this time, you two should stay together and take care of each other."

"Okay, I'll do my best to fatten her up," Queenie hastily agreed, fearing that any delay would disappoint Colin.

I could take care of myself even without Colin around. Besides, Queenie's situation made it difficult for her to even take care of herself, let alone me. Colin's arrangement was just to give her a purpose and help her recover quickly.

I understood this reasoning, and I believed Queenie did too.

After Colin dropped us off at home, he went back to the dormitory to prepare for his trip.

…

Queenie and I snuggled up on the large bed after showering to have a heart-to-heart talk. It had been so long since we spoke to each other, so there were so many things that we wanted to talk about.

To help distract her, I told her about Felix's accident and the subsequent happenings, as well as Aunt Mel's objection to my relationship with Colin. Queenie's eyes turned red in anger after I was done.

"I was wondering why you pulled yourself away from us during that time. You were so thin and your spirits were low. I didn't realize such a big thing had happened. Why didn't you tell us? It must have been so difficult for you to endure all that alone."

"Queenie, things were indeed tough for me at the time, and I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Colin was always by my side. He never once thought of giving up on our love.

"His relationship with his family turned sour because of me. So, I've always been confident about his feelings for me. Now that everything's over, things will get better.

"How about you? What do you think about all the things that have happened? You have to tell me the truth.

"The last straw was when he saw me get beaten and my face covered in blood, but he just took the assailant away without even a glance at me. If he had just taken a look at me, just one look, I might have had the courage to persevere in our relationship.

"I didn't know how I managed to get up from the ground and went to the hospital. I stared at my phone the whole night, only for him to not even send me a single word.

"At dawn, I made up my mind. I wanted to break up with him. I wanted to leave him.

"The world is so big, and there are so many people in this world. I'll surely find someone who loves me. Even if I find someone who doesn't love me, we can live as respectful partners. It's much better than being tormented by him like this."

"It's good if you've made up your mind. I'll support your decision. If he really comes to look for you, I'll help you."

"But I've always had a feeling that he won't let me go that easily." Queenie's worry was also my concern. If Flynn decided to keep her by his side, the chances of her escaping would be slim.
