Chapter 304: To Leave or Stay?

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Shocked by his question, Lily goes blank. This topic is too sensitive and as per what she did before,

she is afraid that…

Fortunately, she doesn’t look well during this whole time; otherwise it is only a matter of time before

Rex detects her nervousness. She does some calculation in her mind and answers, “At the end of this

month. Still couples of days away.”

“How many days?”

“I can’t say for sure. Sometimes it is earlier and sometimes later.” Lily doesn’t want him asking further

questions and changes the topic, “Why? Are you afraid that I may hurt?”

“No.” Rex doesn’t know much about such stuff but something is telling him that Lily’s reaction is

aberrant. He holds her cold hands and says, “Just go to the hospital with me.”

“I already told you I was fine.” Lily tries to break loose but fails, “It is true. I am not lying to you.”

Among all the other lies she ever came up with in her life, this one is the best and most natural one.

Maybe it is the baby who gives her the courage.

“Let’s do a full examination so that I can be reassured.” Rex says and begins dragging her.

Lily frowns and tries to drag her hand back, saying “Rex, I will need an official approval for visiting

hospital. Besides, the prison transporter is right outside waiting for me. How do you expect that I can

get away without being noticed?”

“I can make some call…”

“You can make some call?” Lily stops him right there and though she is almost on the verge of a

confession, still, she says in a tough tone, “I am already convicted of a murder, which makes it hard

enough for me to be bailed. Therefore, I need to behave well instead of keeping pulling strings now and

then.”

Rex doesn’t let her go but says nothing, as if he were pondering over something.

Feeling so intense that she almost dares not to breathe, Lily looks down and shakes their hands

together, saying, “If you still can’t relax over it, then I will submit my application today and go to the

hospital tomorrow.”

“I can’t just leave you like this.”

“I won’t keep puking. Besides, there are doctors in jail, too.” Lily knows well that Rex always yields to

soft approach but rejects force, asking softly, “Is that okay?”

Rex finds nothing wrong about her except for her pale face, and thinks of what she just said. Finally, he

relents and agrees, “Then you must promise to file your application as soon as you get back and go to

the hospital tomorrow.”

“Okay, I will do that.” Lily nods her head immediately but dares not to look at his eyes, fearing that she

might lose control.

“Tomorrow… Everything may be different tomorrow.”

Now that Rex can’t bail her, she can never reveal the secret of the baby.

They walk out the courthouse together. At the gate, Lily is taken by armed police, with Rex watching

from a distance.

The door of the prison transporter is closed and she is now in a different world, where she finds the

driver is indeed another person.

This man shapes a short haircut, too, but he looks younger than the one in the morning.

The car starts, and Lily’s heart is shaking with the car, too. Without saying a word and checking out the

driver this time, she just sits quietly in the back.

During the way back, the car also travels steadily. Two of them never exchange a word until the car

goes through a tunnel.

Everything sounds louder when the car is going through the tunnel. Hearing her heart beating, Lily

slightly moves her butt forward and knocks at the steel door between them, takes a deep breath and

says, “I would like to use the bathroom.”

The man checks the review mirror. Lily knows he is looking at her.

It gets so quiet as if the air were frozen. The only thing left is the friction sound made by the car and

outside air.

It has just been several seconds, but Lily is swimming in sweats.

Then the man suddenly steps on the gas and replies in a husky voice, “Wait for a while.”

Wait for a while.

These four words fall right into Lily’s ears. This is the first time she does something like this and

goosebumps creep all over her, but meanwhile she also feels a relief.

She leans towards the steel door and says in a low voice, “You work for Ryan?”

“Yes.” The man is not talkative and smells of coldness.

Despite her fear, Lily asks further, “What are you going to do next?”

The man breaks his silence and replies quickly, “Mr. Ryan has a question for you.”

Lily is surprised and says, “What?”

The man answers, “To leave or stay?”

Frozen, Lily knows this is the last chance from Ryan. If she decides to leave, she can never look back.

If she decides to stay, she would have to bear with whatever is going to happen, all by herself.

If she were not pregnant, she would never choose to leave. But…what’s done is done!

To leave or stay? This cruel question hangs before her, making her heart drift upon the turbulent sea

and sways with the salty waves.

Lily feels like a long time has passed, but actually it has just been several seconds. No time is left for

her to wait, so she must make the right decision immediately.

Yielding to reality, she has the answer. Lily opens her eyes which have gone red and speaks firmly and

bravely, “Leave.”

Hearing the answer, the man begins speeding up.

Watching the landscape outside backing quickly, Lily gets nervous and asks, “Is it all right to drive so

fast?”

“Miss Lily, please don’t worry. Nothing will happen. Even if it does, I will try my best to keep you safe.”

After saying this, the man reaches to get something out.

The thing is black and small. He presses a button on it and a sharp knife pops up, after which he uses

it to cut the barred wire between front and back seats.

Before Lily utters her shock, the man says, “Miss Lily, please climb through it and get to the front-

passenger seat.”

“Me? Climb through it?” Lily stares at the ‘hole’ in surprise.

“Yes, please do as I say.”

Though the hole is not big, she manages to climb through it in a hard way and get to the front seat.

But it is not over yet. At the moment Lily sits down, the man beside suddenly begins sliding to the

bottom of his seat with only eyes on the steering wheel, asking, “Miss Lily, please handle the wheel.”
