Oh, Jasmine shouldn't look at me with those eyes. Everyone was selfish in a relationship. She tried to steal Colin away knowing full well that he was taken, and she showed no remorse for it. I was trying to defend my relationship. What was wrong with that?

"You can't say that, babe."

"No, there's no need to check," Colin and Jasmine said simultaneously.

I was the recipient of two different sentences.

Colin turned around and tried to grab my hand. However, I flailed around and broke free. He wore a complex expression.

I glared at him angrily and squeezed out a few words, "We'll talk when we're back."

Then, my gaze returned to Jasmine. I was not going to argue with Colin right now. Otherwise, I would have walked into her trap.

"Are you sure, Jasmine? You struck such a sexy pose just now. If Colin had come here alone, what would you have done? Would you have asked him to apply the ointment for you? To tuck you in?" I stared right into Jasmine's eyes, refusing to let her break eye contact.

If I weren't too embarrassed to spell everything out, I would've confronted her and asked if she would "accidentally" drop her bathing robe if Colin had come alone. Then, frantically trying to cover herself, she would fall to the ground.

After that, Colin would play the hero and catch her in his arms. She would snuggle against his chest and maybe touch him too. Perhaps that was her plan when she invited Colin over.

Colin would find himself carrying a beautiful woman in his arms. She could "accidentally" draw circles on his chest or clasp his waist. Who could say no to her? She intended to sleep with Colin tonight. And because of how premeditated the whole thing looked, I couldn't even convince myself that it was just a misunderstanding. What a cunning and greedy woman.

To lure Colin, she did everything, even exposing her body. How desperate was she to resort to these extreme methods? Maybe Colin's affection and love toward me had finally made her lose her patience. "N-No. That's not true, Lulu. You can't accuse me of something I didn't do. I did fall in the shower. The wound isn't huge, but since I can't feel my lower body anymore, I'm worried that there might be other injuries. That's why I asked Colin to come. I swear, Lulu."

Flustered, she waved her hands to deny everything, trying to clear her name. However, the truth couldn't be any more obvious. Those who were shrewd enough knew what her real intention was. No number of words could clear her name.

And I wasn't an idiot. Her rudimentary acting skills could fool no one.

I knew she would do something eventually, but I didn't know it would be this soon. Perhaps she overheard Colin and me when we were making out this afternoon. That must have driven her desperate, and she decided to take a risk.

I was now sure that Jasmine didn't come to Jinovy to get treated. She came here mainly to seduce Colin. She was trying to guilt-trip him into dating him. I had to say, she made a formidable rival. She was beautiful, talented, cunning, and bold.

She tried to use her tricks on me, thinking that I couldn't fight back. I was annoyed, so my words became even nastier.

"Jasmine, what's wrong with you?" Finally, Colin blurted out in exasperation. Perhaps to prove his innocence, he stood behind me and did not approach her at all. However, the contempt in his eyes was palpable.

Jasmine was startled. Almost immediately, a hurt expression appeared on her face. The contempt in Colin's eyes must have stung her deeply.

"Colin, there really is nothing more to this. I fell in the shower and was worried about my injury. That's all. Lulu is being petty here. She thinks I was seducing you. I wasn't, Colin. When you rejected me back then, I told you that we could still be friends.

"It's been so many years. If we hadn't run into each other in Lagado, we wouldn't have... Colin, I've already moved on long ago."
