Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 376 They Had Destroyed Felix

On the drive back, the car was quiet. Darren and Felix didn't say a single word.

Felix trembled the whole way, clinging tightly to Darren's arm.

Darren stared out the window, clearly lost in memories-most likely those old days with Sharon.

Felix could tell. Darren had truly loved her once.

But he just couldn't understand it-how could someone like Sharon throw away someone like Darren?

The human heart is the hardest thing to figure out.

"Darren, we're home." Felix's voice was small as the car pulled up in front of their apartment complex.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Darren gave Felix an apologetic smile. "Come on, let's go. inside."

Felix followed silently behind.

Back home, Felix finally spoke up, cautiously. "Do you think you'll get back together with her?"

Darren paused, caught off guard. He hadn't really thought that far.

He gave a sheepish smile and turned to Felix. "I honestly don't know."

Felix lowered his gaze, clearly disappointed. "You still love her, don't you?"

Darren didn't answer.

The truth was, he wasn't even sure if he still did.

"But she doesn't deserve you," Felix blurted out. "She cheated on you-she chose someone else. Don't forgive her. You're worth so much more, Darren. Really...

His voice cracked with urgency. Felix thought Darren deserved someone better; Sharon doesn't deserve him.noveldrama

Darren gave a smile and said, "I'll take time to figure things out."

Felix nodded quickly and urged, "Okay. You should rest-I'll make dinner."

And with that, he hurried into the kitchen.

Darren glanced around the spotless living room, feeling a little guilty.

Since Felix had moyed in, the place had gone from a disaster zone to practically sparkling. Even the messiest corners had been transformed.

Felix had turned the place spotless. He cleaned obsessively, maybe even more than Darren, who was a doctor. Glasses had to be lined up perfectly. Everything is in its proper place.

The kid was a light sleeper, always up early. Every morning, he'd make breakfast- always something Darren liked.

Chapter 376 They Had Destroyed Felix

If Darren didn't know better, he might've thought Felix was some kind of magical house elf.

But Felix was painfully insecure. Every time he cooked, he'd wash his hands again and again, disinfect everything, and then wear gloves. At every meal, without fail, he'd say, "I wore gloves. The food's clean

Darren tried his best to make Felix feel at case, but it was never enough.

Years of trauma had trapped the boy in a pit so deep he couldn't see the way out.

Once, Felix had sobbed into Darren's shoulder, whispering, "I can't escape."

He had escaped the Lynches, but he was still chained to the ghosts in his own mind.

"Darren, dinner's ready."

Felix moved quickly in the kitchen, and within minutes, the dinner was ready,

Darren had only just finished showering and changing into loungewear when the aroma filled the place.

"If you were a girl, anyone who married you would've hit the jackpot," Darren jöked, genuinely impressed.

Felix was sensitive.

He froze. His body tensed, and his face turned pale at this.

Realizing his mistake, Darren quickly corrected himself. "I mean, whoever ends

up with you someday will be lucky. Doesn't matter who it is."

But that only made it worse.

Felix pretended to be composed and said with a smile, "Someone like me isn't meant for marriage. I'd just mess up someone else's life."

Darren was stunned, but he said nothing. He sat down and reached for a fork. Felix immediately spoke up. "I disinfected all the utensils."

He never used Darren's silverware, no matter how many times Darren insisted. Instead, he reused disposable ones from takeout-like he didn't think he deserved anything better.

Years ago, Felix had gotten sick. A contagious illness. Even though he'd recovered, he still believed he was filthy-especially around Darren.

Because Darren had been his doctor. In front of him, Felix had no secrets, no shield.

Darren took a bite of the food. It tasted better than anything at a restaurant.

"Felix, we've known each other for a long time. Have I ever looked down on you?" Darren's eyes landed on Felix's hands-red and raw from over-sanitizing.

Felix tensed up, having no idea where he had misspoken. "No."

"No one thinks you're disgusting. And you shouldn't think that about yourself, either," Darren said firmly. "None of this was your fault. The ones to blame are the people who hurt you."

The people who had destroyed him.

Felix's eyes reddened. He stared at his plate in silence.

Finished

He used to work in a club as a gigolo who served men. A boy, sold and used before he even understood his sexual preferences. He was ruined before he ever had a chance to grow up.

People like him ... body and soul, both stained. How could someone like that still believe in right and wrong?

He couldn't forgive them. But he couldn't forgive himself, either.

Felix had sunk too deep into the darkness. There was no saving him now.

"Darren, that girl Melody introduced to you last time-she seemed nice," Felix said suddenly. "She's better than Sharon. Prettier. Kind. Comes from a good family." He wasn't trying to meddle. He was just scared. Scared that someone as good as Darren would get hurt again.

It wasn't fair.

Darren was stunned; he looked at Felix helplessly and tried to change the topic. "Stop worrying about me. I asked around about school for you-you're 19. You can take the college entrance exams next year. Once things settle down, just focus on school. You're still young. Your life is just beginning."

Felix smiled at him. The smile was bright and sunny. "Thank you, Darren."

But behind that radiant smile was a pretense.

The Lynches weren't human. What they did to those boys-those kids-was unforgivable. If there's any justice in the world, they'll all burn in hell one day.

Seaville Hospital.

Kelly and Beau didn't bother playing nice. They stood up and walked out, ignoring Roy completely. Eric chased after Kelly and called out. "Kelly-wait. Don't do anything rash. Beau and the guy backing him -they're after Clarissa now. Let's deal with her first. As for Beau, we've got time. Those who hurt you? I swear, I won't let a single one of them go."
