Rex’s eyes are never cold before. That pair of dark eyes are also disappointed for a while by looking at
her silence after acquiescence. His hands that are on the side tighten, “I know she must be wrong first,
and I know your position with each other. But life is life. I thought that even if you’re mad and willful, you
won’t hurt her.”
Lily’s eyelashes twitch a few times and she then looks at him, “Didn’t everything that she did hurt my
father? Why, Marina’s life is important, and my family’s life is not?”
The two of them stand facing each other. There is a conflict between them. Rex still wants to say
something, but when he sees the solemn emotion in her eyes, he could not speak anymore.
After a while, his clenched fist is loosened, “Let’s look at the treatment result first. If there is any bad
outcome, how can I face Marina?”
Now it remains unclear what will happen to Harry, but he is thinking about how to face Marina…?
Lily hooks the corner of her lower lip, her mouth seems to have weighted ten million grams, which
could not be pick up at all. She watches as the man turns around and re-enters the ward, leaving her
with a determined shadow like he was back then.
Why bother yourself.
Lily has never had such a feeling of being extremely exhausted. The heart that is beating for him is as if
dead. There is no more love in her sight, only grievance.
She slowly turns around and walks towards the opposite direction, closing her eyes and blinking out
two lines of clear tears.
That’s it, Lily, don’t look forward to it anymore.
…..
After returning to the ward, Rex does not sit by the bed but walks straight to the window. At this
moment, it is almost half-past seven in the evening. When the night comes, everything is immersed in
the darkness. There are a few street lamps lit alone, which were blown by the cold wind, just like his
mood at this moment.
All of the things in front of his eyes are Lily’s weeping eyes just now. However, his beloved woman
almost killed his lifesaver’s daughter. He does not dare to take it easily. Thus, he told her those words
coldly.
Marina is lying on the hospital bed with several tubes in her body, she could not move at all. Even
though the price she paid is painful, at least Rex is here, she has prevailed.
No matter what drove this man to stay here, at least he stays and leaves Lily along; this is enough.
Thinking of which, she is burst with joy.
The two eyes behind him are staring at him closely. Rex is aware of it but he does not look back. He is
afraid that he might lose his temper to her. However, based on her current physical and psychological
conditions, it is not enough for her to bear his anger.
He knows that Marina has messed all this up. Thus, when the incident happened, he has decided that
no matter what her situation is, he will never let the two stay together after this incident.
He could not be separated from Lily. Then he could only send Marina away and find someone to take
good care of her body. As for the rest, that’s not up to him.
However, such a decision can only be said when she is better.
Perhaps, Karl is right. He should have solved this matter earlier, rather than putting it off and letting
things progress to what it is today. It is too late to make a decision now.
He thinks everything superficially but forgets that he can't always get everything he wants.
Let’s hold it for a while. As long as Marina is discharged from the hospital, he will make it clear,
everything will be said clearly.
‘knock, knock, knock’
The door of the ward is knocked from the outside. Rex regains his consciousness. After sorting out his
emotion, he says in a deep tone, “Come in.”
Karl walks over with a checklist in his hand, “Look, George will come tomorrow and we’ll discuss it
again.”
Rex barely glances at a few numbers that he knows. His brows wrinkle deeper. After a while, he nods,
“Okay, got it. If you need my cooperation, just say it.”
“There is a single room beside. It’s new; you can rest there and take a shower.” Karl hands the key to
him, “Also, Lily asked me about the medical expenses. I said it’s all on you, remember it.”
Hearing the words, Rex’s movement of keeping the key in his pocket, pauses, “Did she say anything?”
Karl recalls today’s conversation between them, there is nothing unusual, “No, nothing, she just
nodded.”
His eyes brighten and darken again and again. But in the end, it is still recovered to a dull, “Okay.”
…
When Lily returns to the ward, Bree is secretly wiping her tears with a tissue. She looks at her fifty-
year-old mother who is sitting by the bed. Her mood is particularly unpleasant. Before, their peaceful
days were broken by Tim’s family, causing troubles that make everybody nervous. Now, because of
Marina, his father was irritated and committed a heart attack.
Lily feels that all of this is because of herself, because of her willfulness and lack of filial piety. If she is
willing to face reality and work hard, even if she is alone, there will not be so many twists and turns.
She owes too much for her family.
Thinking of which, the tears that she has held, almost flow again. Lily quickly refrains, fearing that Bree
will be sadder after seeing it.
By pushing the door open and enter, the wards are full of various dripping sounds from the instruments.
It is cold yet ruthless.
“Mom, get some rest, I’ll stay here.” Lily pats Bree’s shoulder and says in a choking tone.
Bree seizes her hand and whispers, “Lily, didn’t you think our family never goes beyond moral bounds,
what kind of sin have we exactly done...”
There is bitterness in Lily’s throat; the tongue is hurt by this turbulent sourness. Yes, what did they do
wrong that makes them suffer from it, they have obviously done well, right?
Lily tries hard to suppresses the emotion in his chest, “Mom, I’m sorry for you and Dad. Wait till Dad is
well and we’ll move from here. I’ll listen to you guys, okay?”
Bree is also aware of what Rex has done. The past several hours is the most critical moment, and this
man called Rex does not even visit once. She is disappointed too.
“Okay, come home and stay with us, we’re not homeless.”
Lily clenches her hands and closes her eyes gently, “Okay, I’ll go home.”
“We never wanted you to find those rich and good living people. We are not matched to such wealthy
people. These people have experienced too much that they don’t understand what it means to cherish.
You’ll suffer in the end.” Bree had a good impression of Rex before. But now, it is so bad.
When hearing her words, Lily just wants to slap herself. Bree’s every single word is a dagger that stuck
in her heart. It is ridiculous that she has never clearly understood that man after being together for so
long.
He is too difficult to understand and too shrewd. However, she stupidly thinks that this shrewdness will
never be used on her. She is the kind of person who will only regret after bearing the bitter fruit herself.
He said he loves her and that she is the only one for him. It turns out to be so ridiculous.
Lily bites her lip to stop her choking voice that is about to overflow from her mouth. His “only one” is
Marina from the beginning to the end.
