Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 513

After a small discussion, we decided to split up. Jasmine's men would head to the hotel to retrieve her luggage while Colin and I would bring her to the rehab center to check in. We had to settle the hospital bill too, so as Colin ushered Jasmine to her ward, I went to the counter to pay.

For some reason, there were a lot of people at the counter. It took me 15 minutes to complete the admission process, and I ran to the ward with the receipt.

Jasmine's ward was on the first floor. It was on the right, facing the sun. It had a lot of natural light, and outside, there was a small garden. One could admire the flowers by standing next to the window. I liked the location.

I pushed the door and entered a vast room. There was a bed for the patient and another bed for visitors. I saw a couch, a television, a fridge, many other amenities, a private bathroom, and a kitchen. It looked like a cozy apartment.

Huh? Where did they go? There was no one in the ward. I looked around carefully, thinking that I had entered the wrong ward. As I continued probing, I heard noises from the balcony that was closed off from the living room.

I discerned a male voice and a female voice. They had to be Colin and Jasmine. So, they went to have a private conversation on the balcony while I was away. They had to be hiding something! I snuck toward the balcony and eavesdropped.

"Ms. Taylor, you saved me, and I'm grateful to you for that. I can repay your favor with anything, except for my love and marriage. Luna is my one and only. Please understand that and stop doing those unnecessary things. Do your rehab and get well soon. That's what I want to see."

Jasmine sobbed ruefully. She was trying to elicit his empathy with his voice. "Colin, I love you. Is that my fault? Why won't you give me a chance? Because we met too late? I'm not here to destroy your relationship. Just give me the chance to compete fairly. Can't you give me that?"

"Luna became an inseparable part of my life the moment she was born. This has nothing to do with the fact that I met her earlier than I met you. She already lives in my heart. She doesn't need to compete with anyone. Whatever she wants, I'll give it to her."

"She lives in your heart already, huh? So you and me are impossible, then. Colin, I know I can't force you to love me. I'll cooperate and go for physiotherapy so that I'll get well soon and stop bothering you. But can you do one thing for me? Just one small gesture. Please."

Colin fell silent for a while and continued, "As long as it's nothing immoral and within my capability, sure."

"I knew I'd hardly see you again after coming here. I don't need anything. But can you hug me before we part ways? Hug me like you hug her, just once. Even if it's only for a minute. That way, I can tell myself that I had you for a minute. It'll give me the strength to go through my treatment."

Jasmine implored pitifully with her despondent words for a simple hug. She wanted a hug from a person who already had a girlfriend. She was as desperate as she was pitiable, embellishing her greedy request with a poetic pretext.

I was mad. She failed to get Colin's love, so she was now asking for his hug instead. She never stopped. She was utterly shameless. But I knew Colin would never say yes. She would be disappointed. "Ms. Taylor, Lulu and I hug each other because we're dating. Given our relationship, I don't think it's right to hug you the same way. I'm sorry, I can't fulfill this demand.

"And Ms. Taylor, if I may add something, there are many charming men in this world. There's no need to waste your time on me."
