NovelApexChapter 1286:
Collin was caught off guard by her outburst. He rubbed his nose, visibly flustered and unsure what to do.
He never actually said he killed Felix. She leaped to that conclusion herself, and he just let her think it, half-
amused, never guessing she would take it so hard.
“I...” Before he could explain himself, Linsey’s fist landed squarely on his chest, cutting off his words.
Getting up from his lap, she cried even harder and shouted, “Save your excuses! There's no point explaining
now! I'm done with you! | never want to hear your voice again! Collin, you're the worst! I've never met anyone
as infuriating as you!”
Tears streamed down Linsey’s face as she suddenly turned and bolted for the staircase, each hurried step
thundering through the house.
“Linsey!” Collin called out, panic surging through him. Forgetting all about his supposed disability, he leapt from
the wheelchair. “Cback! | didn’t say you could just walk away!”
No response cfrom Linsey, who only cried louder and sped up the stairs. Racing into her room, she didn’t
pause before slamming the door behind her, the sound echoing sharply.
When dawn broke, Linsey rose early, washed up, got dressed, and descended the staircase.
Roland reached for her door, meaning to check in, but stopped short when he saw her coming down on her own.

“Good morning, Roland,” Linsey replied with a smile.
With a gentle nod, Roland added, “Breakfast is ready whenever you are.”
“Thanks, Roland. I'll go eat in a bit.” She nodded right back, her expression untroubled. If she felt any tension
from last night, she didn’t let it show.
Collin sat waiting at the table, taking in the scene. A long, relieved sigh escaped him.
After last night's commotion, he had crept upstairs and found the bedroom door locked. He spent ages pleading
and knocking, but Linsey never let him in, and at one point, she even shouted at him to leave, her voice
breaking. The only option left had been the guest room, where Collin tossed and turned the whole night, unable
to shake the worry gnawing at him.

Now, as he watched Linsey move about with her usual composure, a wave of relief finally settled over him.
Surely, he thought, she couldn't still be mad. That was all it was—a harmless spat.
Snapping out of his thoughts as she drew near, Collin straightened up, put on a bright face, and greeted her.
“Morning.”
Linsey offered no reaction at all.
