Chapter 276 Felix wiped away the bloody mess on his face and got up with Colin's assistance. He couldn't take his eyes off Lilac, who was crying while hugging Shawn.
He didn’t shed a tear when he was beaten to a pulp, yet his eyes turned wet when he saw the woman he loved weep for another man.
Felix picked himself up groggily. There was no light in his beautiful eyes.
Looking at the despondent Felix, | only had one word to describe him- dejected.
Suddenly, he laughed as he looked at the hugging couple. His voice grew louder and louder until it turned maniacal. “Karma. This is karma.” The area before the motel was filled with his hollow and soulless laughter.
It was karma, indeed.

When | still had feelings for him, he stomped on them. And when | gave up on him, he felt devastated. Now that he had decided to do Lilac right, Lilac tossed him aside and showed indifference toward his injuries.
As usual, people took what they had for granted and only regretted it when it was gone.
In my opinion, Felix’s misery today was brought on by his avarice.
He wanted everything and was left with nothing.
That was the punishment of greed.
“What? She cheated on that handsguy?Did you hear his voice? It sounds like he has lost his mind.” “What's wrong with that woman? Why would she pick the other guy over this cute one?” “Hey, open your eyes. The guy she’s holding is quite handstoo. And look at what he’s wearing. He's clearly loaded.” Shawn was handsand untamed. He wore branded goods and looked like a rich, eligible bachelor. Meanwhile, Felix had a pretty face and an air of sophistication. They would be equal in terms of popularity with the opposite sex.
The onlooking crowd began to gossip among themselves.
“What do we do, Colin?” | felt bad for Felix.
Those in similar situations must have done something to bring this upon themselves. Felix had himself to blfor what happened to him today. | did not feel sympathy for him, but | felt sorry for him because he was Colin's younger brother.
“This was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm glad that it happened now because he'll get over it sooner.” Colin rationalized.
Suddenly, a BMW swerved in. A middle-aged man appeared and took Shawn into the back seat. Lilac didn’t bat Felix an eye before entering the vehicle. Following the noise of a slammed door, the automobile left.
Felix watched as the BMV slowly disappeared into the horizon. The injuries finally took their toll, and he passed out on the ground.
My New Year's Eve ended on a sour and bloody note.

My head accessory went missing, and my glow stick vanished too. In the end, Colin and | celebrated the coming of the new year next to Felix’s bed in a ward.
The next morning, | woke up on the narrow guest bed. Colin had prepared shot water and was wiping Felix’s body.
| saw dark purple spots on Felix’s attractive face. His upper lip was swollen, and there was a cut of around two inches in length above his right eye. One of his legs was lifted by a splint.
It was too dark yesterday. | didn’t know he was that badly injured.
Felix was already awake. He watched silently as Colin cleaned his body.
There was nothing in his starry eyes. No light, no soul.
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.
