Chapter 62

 62:
“Stay away from my wife.”
Felix shivered at the sound of that icy voice. As he turned, his shock deepened upon seeing Collin seated in a wheelchair.
“It’s you?” His eyes grew wide. He was puzzled by Collin’s sudden appearance.
At that moment, Collin clutched Felix’s wrist so tightly it pained him. Felix attempted to break free, only to find himself unable to move as the grip on his wrist tightened further.
“Release me!” Felix cried out, pain etching his face while sweat trickled down his back.
Collin offered no expression, yet to Felix’s surprise, he let go.
Felix staggered back, tripping and falling into an awkward pile on the ground.
His tumble drew laughter from the onlookers.
Felix regained his footing, his embarrassment subsiding as he noticed the wheelchair beneath Collin. He dusted off his clothes with a sneer and demanded coldly, “What brings you here?”
Any semblance of superiority quickly dissolved under Collin’s formidable presence.
Though confined to a wheelchair, Collin radiated an undeniable authority that commanded respect.
A mere glance from him was enough to make the bystanders recoil. “I’m Linsey’s husband. Surely, it makes sense for me to be here to pick her up,” Collin stated icily, dismissing Felix without a glance.
Just then, Linsey approached, standing just behind Collin, her face a mask of relief. She had sent Collin a message discreetly as she headed to the café. It was fortunate that Collin had arrived when he did. Linsey was uncertain how else she might have managed Felix.
Linsey gave Collin a gentle smile and whispered, “Let’s go.”

Collin’s cold gaze softened briefly. “Alright, the car’s outside. Let’s head out.”
With those words, Linsey began to push Collin’s wheelchair towards their car.
Felix, unable to let go, shouted, “Linsey, you’ll regret staying with Collin sooner or later!”
Felix was still in disbelief that Linsey had really left him. He made one last attempt to sway her.
Linsey stopped and turned towards him, her face expressionless and detached.
At this, a flicker of hope sparked in Felix’s heart.
However, before he could savor his fleeting victory, Linsey leaned down and kissed Collin on the cheek.
She faced Felix and said icily, “Give up. I will never regret my choice. If you keep pestering me, don’t hold my husband responsible for his harsh reaction.”
Felix stood frozen, shocked by Linsey’s boldness in kissing another man right before his eyes.
The impact was crushing.
Collin was just a man in a wheelchair!
Did Linsey still see him as less than Collin?
Collin, caught by surprise in his wheelchair, also seemed taken aback. Linsey’s gentle kiss left a lasting warmth on his cheek that he couldn’t shake off.
As Felix watched Linsey and Collin enter their car, his astonishment grew.
He couldn’t grasp that Linsey had chosen someone with a disability over him, betraying their five-year relationship.
