After waiting for about ten minutes, he finally entered the hospital room.

Listina's complexion was far from rosy, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"You never used to bring anyone to visit me. Do you like her or something?"

"No, I don't."

He took a seat beside her, deftly peeling an apple with practiced ease.

Listina couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy, "She's pretty, with a nice vibe about her. How did you two end up colleagues?”

"She used to be a rich girl, but her family went bankrupt.”

Listina let out a sigh of relief. That explained the aura of affluence she seemed to carry.

"Felix, you should probably keep your distance from her. I've heard those rich girls can be quite the handful, and I'm worried she’s

set her sights on you. You're no match for her games."

Felix continued peeling the apple in silence, not responding to her comment.

Listina felt uneasy. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to Felix's care. His mother, before she passed away, had made him

promise to marry Listina and take good care of her.

After all, it was Felix's father, Listina's family driver, who was involved in the tragic car accident that claimed the lives of Listina's

parents. Felix's father didn't survive either, and the shock was too much for his mother, who took her own life right in front of him.

In just a month, Listina went from a wealthy girl to an orphan, with the added blow of their family business being acquired by the

Miller Group, a wound that would ache for a lifetime.

With no parents to protect the company, the takeover was swift. From that point on, it was just Listina and Felix, depending on

each other for survival.

Felix's mother had always felt it was her husband's fault, so she implored Felix with her dying wish.

"Take care of Listina. It's our family's debt to her. If it weren't for your father, she wouldn't be an orphan. Felix, consider it my last

request. | know we're being selfish, leaving you alone, but | just can't bear it anymore, I'm so sorry, Felix."

Because of this, Felix had been nothing short of devoted to Listina over the years, beyond reproach.

Yet when she offered herself to him, he rejected her, saying he wanted to wait until they were married.

Listina's heart was always restless, especially since Felix was so handsand would have turned down legitimate job offers if not

for the responsibility he felt towards her.

The better he treated her, the more insecure she became, fearing he might one day fall for someone else.

The appearance of Carol had sparked a jealousy in her like never before; she wished they could get married immediately.

But her surgery was still pending, and without it, she wouldn't survive another two years.

Why did it have to be her who was sick? Why couldn't it be someone else? She was consumed by a sense of injustice.

Lost in her tumultuous thoughts, she was brought back to reality by a bunny-shaped apple slice Felix had crafted.

Her mood lifted instantly, and a smile curved her lips.

"Felix, if you ever fall for someone else, you have to tell me. | know you're only taking care ofbecause of your mother's last

words, and I'm holding you back. If it weren't for me, you could have a better life."

Felix looked up at her, his tone even, "I'll find a doctor. You just focus on getting better, Listina. Don't overthink things."

"lI don’t want that woman from earlier to cback. Stay away from her, okay? She makesfeel uneasy."

"Alright."

He agreed without hesitation.

Seeing how straightforward he was, Listina breathed easier; perhaps they really were just coworkers.

"Felix, you should also keep your distance from other women. | can't leave this hospital, and every day, | worry you'll fall for

someone else."

"Okay."

Listina felt even more at peace, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she ate the apple bunny he had handed her.

Felix stayed in the room for an hour before it was tfor him to leave. Listina grabbed his hand and gently tapped her cheek.

He leaned in and lightly touched his lips to her cheek.

"I've got to go, but I'll cto see you again soon."

"Okay."

Listina watched him with longing eyes, hating to part with him even for a minute.

She knew he was tired and felt guilty for it, but even so, she couldn't bear to let him go to anyone else.

After all, since she had already been his burden for so many years, what were a few more? Felix had to be hers.
