Lily is startled.
"Are you ok?" Rex sees her staring at something blankly, frowning, "More stupid now?"
Her relaxed mood disappears in an instant. Rex is always an audacious man. How can she believe that
he had changed?
Pushing away the man's palm, she wants to yell but is afraid of being heard by the people outside, so
she just stares at him irritably, "Who let you in?"
He wickedly smiles, "Do you think the two guards and the door can block me?"
"So, I need to praise you since you climb through the window?"
"Anyway, I am here now." The faint light is shining, while the man in thirties blushes secretly. In fact, he
is...not so assertive.
"What do you want to do? Be more frivolous?" Lily knows that he would not climb through the window
at night for lust, but she just can’t help making fun of him.
To her surprise, Rex doesn’t refute. His gaze flicks over her petite body, "I am very worried about you."
Being driven away by her was embarrassed enough, but he couldn’t calm down after he got home. His
brain was occupied by her.
Two pairs of eyes meet in the air, a kind of tenderness blooms in the air, and the lustrous feelings flows
silently, infiltrating their hearts.
Lily forces herself to look away. Blinking her eyes quickly, she doesn’t allow herself to compromise,
"Didn’t you hate me? Why do you come..."
"Yes, I hate you." Rex doesn’t hide his disappointment with her and Ryan, but his eyes fixes on her
face, "But I am more afraid of losing you, Lily."
Lily feels touched. Maybe her feelings for Ryan were still a little fuzzy before, but now she suddenly
understands.
The greatest difference between Ryan and Rex is that no matter how many love confessions Ryan
said, there will never be a man in front of her that affects her heart more.
Choking back tears, Lily asks, "Why do you say these stuffs now? If you really like me, please don't
force me."
"I'm not forcing you." Rex lowers his head slightly, and the hair on his forehead blocks most of his
expression, "I..."
I just don't wanna lose you one more time.
Rex doesn’t say it out. He feels that he has repeated it too many times, so she might have been tired of
hearing this.
"Go to sleep, I'm here with you."
"You won't leave?" Lily is surprised, subconsciously raising her volume, and then she covers her mouth
immediately, "I don’t want you to accompany me."
"Don't worry, I won’t do anything."
"No way." Lily still refuses his request. She knows that this person is insatiable. "If you don't leave, I'll
let the guards in."
"If you want me to fight again in the hospital, go ahead."
"Rex!" Lily is speechless, "You threaten me?"
Rex smiles bitterly, "You never listen to me when I am nice to you."
He knows Lily well, understanding how to change her mind. She can be persuaded by reason but not
be cowed by force. However, sometimes she also needs to be treated fiercely as well.
Lily looks at the blue and purple marks on his face left by the fight against Ryan today. She wants to
prove that she doesn’t care about him and wants to call someone in, but... her hands under the quilt
are just clenched. She cannot make any noise.
Rex looks at her pale yet gradually flushing face. Since he doesn’t want to embarrass her anymore, he
quickly turns off the lamp.
The light disappears and the room gets dark again.
Surrounded by the darkness, they cannot see anything.
Only the heartbeats bang around their ears.
Obviously, people can only hear their own heartbeat, but with a guilty conscience, Lily still feels that her
tension and nervousness has been discovered by him.
After a moment, she doesn’t know if she is angry with herself or him. She lifts the quilt to cover the top
of her head and closes her eyes immediately.
Rex, as he said, doesn’t do anything. There is a single bed for the caregiver beside the hospital bed. It
is just more than one meter, which is very hard for a man of 75 inches.
His strong arms are on his chest. After so many years, it is the first time that he is in the same room
with her, and they are so close to each other. Even though he looks calm, there is already a storm in
his heart.
Rex tries to close his eyes, while he can smell the smell from her hair.
"This is the first time I am not afraid of the night after five years."
The man's low voice jumps into her ears like low notes, making Lily's eyelashes tremble again. She
slowly opens her eyes, as if her heart is hit by a small stone.
Keeping silence, Lily breathes very lightly. When listening to his words, she always feels wronged and
wants to cry unconsciously. She doesn’t even understand why they end up in this way. It is probably
their destinies. Every time this experience is mentioned, her throat feels sour.
They used to be woman whom he wanted to stay with for a lifetime, and nobody wanted this ending.
Whose fault. Who?
Lily's heart is full of helplessness.
"Why do you leave me?" He murmurs softly, as if he’s asking her.
Lily’s heart trembles, and her lips presses tightly. Because of Adair, because of the child he doesn’t
know, she cannot say anything.
On this quiet night, both of them are lost in thoughts, while the ward is still ridiculously quiet.
After saying this, Rex doesn’t continue to ask deeply. He is lying on the narrow bed, and although it is
small and very uncomfortable, he feels at ease that he has never felt before.
With a steady breathing from the side, Lily knows that he has fallen asleep.
She carefully pulls the quilt off her head, moving her body by millimeters. It takes her five minutes to
turn around.
Fortunately, she doesn’t wake him up.
Lily looks at Rex who is sleeping on her side. He looks as young as he was five years ago. He is still
good-looking, and his body is not out of shape. The only thing that changes is his overall temperament,
which is gloomier and more indifferent than before.
His change might be caused by her.
In the past five years, without doubt, he hasn’t lived a happy life.
Lily sighs. In fact, Adair really looks like him. His eyes are not big or small, but very narrow and long.
Although the bridge of his nose is not very straight, it is delicate. Every curvature of the man’s forehead
is just fit. Except for Adair’s mouth, which looks like her. Adair’s lips are thin, and the corners of his
mouth turns upward while smiling.
No one knows what it feels like to watch Adair grow up day by day and become more and more like
him.
She works so hard to support this family, pursuing a stable life. She always hypnotizes herself that
Adair is not his child. However, whenever she sees Adair eating quietly, she will think of him.
Yeah, the child she desperately looks after for is not only hers, but also his. No matter how she
deceives herself, half of Adair's blood belongs to this man.
Lily felt so wronged and tired, but during the five years, she never complained, and never thought of
being an irresponsible mother.
If she hates him deeply, how could she keep this child, taking care of him till today?
Lily doesn’t know how long she has been thinking about these things, and how many tears she sheds.
She just looks at him, closing her eyes at dawn.
