This sentence stiffens Ryan.
It seems that there is an invisible net covering him and he feels stiffened. It is the first time that he
really feels the feeling of blood coagulating in his body and stiffening him.
His heart beats fast and he is rarely lost in thoughts.
Ryan closes his eyes, raises his left hand and presses his third eye area, his temples throb, reminding
him how excited he is because of this sentence.
Lily waits quietly. This question is very important to her. She needs to know Ryan's attitude.
"I don't like you, but I appreciate you." Ryan gives her a very ambiguous answer, "Why, are you
interested in me?"
"..." Lily secretly breathes a sigh of relief, "You think too much, I don't even have a good impression of
you."
"It's not too late to talk about this after you escape from prison." Ryan ends the conversation, "I will
hang up."
After finishing the sentence, he hangs up the phone. Listening to the busy tones, Lily slowly puts down
the handset, turns around, and opens the door and leaves.
“It’s over?” The guard is waiting at the door.
Lily nods, "Yeah."
The two walk back together. On the way, the prison guard asks her casually, "Who is calling?"
Lily’s heart throbs. She struggles to suppress the panic in her heart, “My family.”
“Got it.”
Fortunately, the prison guard just responds indifferently, and doesn’t think much about it.
Lily walks all the way to her room, passing many collective prison cells. There are seven to dozens of
prisons in each cell, each of them looks vicious. Lily dares not to look into their eyes, fearing a single
glance would cause her great troubles.
Although no one complains in front of her, Lily can feel that they have long been jealous of her, for she,
a newcomer, could live in a single room and eat alone. It is just that they don’t get the chance to make
troubles for her.
After returning to her home, Lily finally feels relaxed. She raises her hand to touch her belly. She is only
pregnant for one month, so there are not many changes on her belly. Even if it is not for her own sake,
for the sake of the child, she should cherish her life.
...
When Marina learns that Lily's lawsuit is not going well, she gets extremely excited. She has never
been as happy as she is now since she falls ill several years ago.
Bitch, how dare you offend me? Now you are finally put in jail.
Marina thinks to herself smugly. The feeling that she could completely possess Rex alone once again
conquers her mind.
She keeps daydreaming about their future, about the scenes after her being together with Rex…
She is recovering well. Although George has been telling her to be careful, her basic physical
conditions are all right. As long as she doesn’t touch the sunlight, she can even move around in the
hospital.
Just when Marina is thinking of meeting Rex, a bad news comes -----
Karl and George walk into the ward together, seeming to talk about something with a long folder board
in their hands, and then they stand beside her bed.
Marina is confused, "Dr. Karl, George, what's wrong?"
"Here it goes. I have seen a recent report on your body. The recovery is good, and the various
indicators are relatively stable. In view of the comprehensive assessment of these aspects, I
recommend that you return to New Zealand to have a rest-cure." Karl speaks in his usual gentle tone,
but his words stiffen Marina and make her feel so cold.
"Return to New Zealand?!" She is so surprised that even her voice gets harsh, "Why do you want me to
go back? I feel cozy to stay here and adapt to it well, I don't want to go back!"
"This is Rex’s order."
Karl’s words successfully make her lose all strength to react. She stuns for half a minute and then
finally comes to her own sense, “You meant… Rex ordered me to leave?”
"Yeah." Karl doesn’t want to cooperate with her in this miserable drama, and there is no emotional
change in his eyes. "This is also good for you. Originally, your illness needs a rest-cure. My hospital is
a comprehensive hospital, which is not as suitable for you as a convalescent hospital.”
Marina reluctantly forces a smile, "I think it's good here..."
"It can only be better over there." Karl doesn’t give her any room to make excuse, "For your own sake,
you should go back."
"But..." Marina is obviously panicked. She doesn’t expect Rex to do such a thing without even informing
her, "Rex didn't ask me to leave, I..."
"Are you suspecting that I made this decision without the permission of Rex?" What annoys Karl most
is her pretending innocence, which is so disgusting, "You can call and ask him in person now."
He originally had a bad impression on Marina. Now that Lily had such an accident in his hospital, he
hates Marina even more. If it weren't that he is a doctor and she is a patient, he wouldn't even want to
see her.
Marina has no way to back down. Naturally, it is impossible for her to call Rex right now. So she simply
starts to make unreasonable troubles, "I will only believe it if Rex tells me in person."
Karl's tone is already impatient, "He’s busy."
"Then I'll wait until he is free." Marina notices the hostility in his words, and takes a tough stance. "I can
wait for few days. So, Dr. Karl, you won’t drive me out of the hospital because of your personal
emotions, right?"
“Oh, you embarrassed me by saying these. For the sake of Rex, I won’t drive you out. So don’t worry.”
Karl’s words make Marina feel more embarrassed and she even fails to maintain her composure.
So he informed her politely for the sake of Rex? Why does she feel the perfunctory attitude in his tone?
Marina is very annoyed. However, she is clear that this is not the right time to quarrel with him; she
shifts her gaze onto George, “George, can I be transferred to the other hospital considering my current
health condition?”
George usually stands by her side. After all, they have been gotten along with each other for so long.
However, this time, he doesn’t nod in agreement, “No problem.”
"..." Marina wrinkles her eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure? I have to take a plane and travel long
distances. What if there is an accident during this period? Who will be responsible? You?"
George has never seen Marina being such aggressive. In his memory, she is a quiet and weak
Chinese woman. But the woman he sees now is totally different from the one he is familiar with.
George senses the ferociousness in her eyes, which thrusts into him like a knife. Her hostile attitude
makes him uncomfortable. She changed a lot!
George outstretches his hands in helplessness, "When you returned to China, your physical condition
was even worse. I believe you can leave smoothly this time."
Marina sneers and doesn’t reply. Ignoring the several persons present, she steps onto the bed, lies
down and turns over. Her attitude is tough and unreasonable, “I have a headache. I don’t want to talk to
you. Please go out.”
Sally, the onlooker, can’t bear it anymore. She steps forward, intending to say something. Karl pulls her
into his arms. Sally looks up into him. He shakes his head to motion her, loosens the grip, and says to
Marina, “Since you are unwilling to admit this, I will ask Rex to tell you in person. It’s okay as long as
you can bear it.”
Marina's eyelids twitch. She has sensed a trace of hostility in his words.
"Are you threatening me?"
Karl is not in a hurry. He says slowly and meaningfully, “As for whether I am threatening you, you will
learn it later.”
