Lily has been rushing to the hospital after she hung up on Rex. Luckily there is no traffic jam. She
arrives in the hospital half an hour later.
She takes the elevator and arrives at the ward.
Lily is too anxious to see her child that she forget to knock. She pushes the door open and enters the
ward right away.
From her direction, she could see there are two persons in the room. The child is sitting on the bed on
drips while the adult is sitting beside the bed accompanying the child. Both of their eyes are red.
Lily quickly walks towards Adair. She is panting under her breathe. It is obvious how anxious she is
walking to the ward.
Rex keeps a calm face. His perfectly sculptured face seems fairer under the reflection of the white
sheet from the bed. His hair is neatly groomed. Once she enters the room, his dark eyes follow her as
she moves. “You’re here.”
Adair smiles widely when he sees Lily. He calls Lily loudly, “Mommy!”
Lily doesn’t want to make things messed in front of the child. She holds her anger and clenches her
fists. She then turns to Adair to check on him, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
Adair sees the concern and anxious look on Lily’s face, he knows he is in fault, “Uncle Karl said I
overate and had indigestion.”
“Didn’t mommy told you to eat slowly and not to have too many snacks? You have a weak stomach.
See, this is the cost of not listening.” She scolds him out of concern and worries. Lily hasn’t seen Adair
for two days, which is why she is worrying sickly.
Adair pouts his lips, “I’m sorry, mommy.”
Lily feels soft-hearted looking at his pitiful look. She takes a deep breath, thinking that there’s no use to
be mad at him now since he is already sick.
Rex is afraid that Lily would be too mad at Adair. He voices out in a calm tone, “Don’t be mad at him. It
is my fault for having not taken good care of him.”
If he remains silent, Lily might just have let this slip by. Lily is immediately enraged after she hears what
Rex says.
She smiles and stares at the handsome face in front of her, “I thought you didn’t know it’s your fault?
Now, taking away my child without asking me. Is that another habit from the Gabbot family?”
Rex is speechless. He did take Adair away to piss her off. So he won’t complain now about being
scolded by her.
Lily gets even angrier when she sees Rex choose to remain silent. “Speak up! Don’t play innocent in
front of the child. There I thought you are so capable. Getting him into the hospital in just two days. Is
this your ideal way of taking good care of him?”
“……” Rex has got nothing to say.
Lily looks at Rex’s lowered head. His eyelashes are longer and curler than most women, which gives
him an innocent look. However, she knows who he is underneath that innocent face.
Vicious, dictated, and bossy! He is everything evil in the world!
“Rex, how dare you to think it is an easy task to take care of a child! You are inexperienced, you never
take care of Adair and you don’t know about his health condition! It’s just indigestion this time. Who
knows what would happen next time? If anything happens to him, can you be held accountable? Or
you didn’t want to take responsibility in the first place?”
“Mommy”, Adair stops Lily.
Lily pauses and thinks something happened to Adair, “What’s wrong?”
Adair takes a look at Rex, lowers his head, and whispers to Lily, “Don’t scold Uncle Rex. It’s my fault for
overeating. Uncle Rex is very nice to me. He brought me to the movie theatre and bought nice food for
me.”
Rex and Lily both don’t expect to hear this from Adair.
Seeing the way Adair defending him, Rex is so touched. It seems like he has already forgiven him.
Adair treats him way better now as compared to two days ago.
Lily stuns by Adair’s word. She looks at Rex and Adair in an unbelievable look. She knows Adair too
well. If Adair doesn’t really think a person is nice to him, he wouldn’t have defended that person.
However, what he said kind of makes Lily feels jealous. They have only been together for just a few
days…
Seeing Lily’s seething expressions, Rex knows she is about to reach her limit. He covers Adair’s hand
with the blanket and stands up, “Let’s talk outside.”
This is exactly what Lily wanted. She takes a look at the drip bottle. There’s much left and it is not going
to finish in a short period. She tells Adair, “You go to sleep now. Mommy will be at the door. Call me if
you need anything, alright?”
Adair nods and answers, “Yes, mommy.”
Rex looks at Lily, who is now tidying the blanket for Adair. She ties her hair up into a ponytail today. Her
fair neck is exposed and a few strands of hair fall on it when she lowers her head. She looks graceful.
After being a mother, she becomes more feminine and graceful than before. It is not the kind where she
needs to show her gentleness or say anything. All she needs to do is just stand there and she could
easily attract people’s attention.
As Lily stands up, Rex takes his eyes off of her quickly and leaves the room before her.
She follows closely behind him. There is an emergency exit stairwell nearby. Rex walks into the exit
door straightaway. Lily doesn’t like dark and small space but before she could stop Rex, he has already
walked into the stairwell.
She sighs and follows him.
In the corner of the stairwell, Rex takes out a cigarette and lights it up. The lights are dim and the green
light from the emergency signal lights up the stairwell oppressively.
Lily stands in front of Rex, her eyes still filled with the fire of her rages. She speaks up first as Rex
remains silent once they step into the stairwell, “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Rex looks at Lily’s clear and tiny face. Her hair is slicked back and it allows him to take a good look at
her.
Her smooth forehead and her nose form a perfect ratio. Her nose is tiny and the shape of her lips
curves at the right place, while her round chin gives her a combination look of innocence and
sensuality.
She is beautiful, even when she is angry.
Lily doesn’t know Rex is appreciating her beauty even when she is mad. She feels like she has been
saying so much but she never gets any reply from Rex. She is so furious that it hurts, “Rex, are you
even listening to what I’m saying?”
Rex comes out of his trance when he notices her bright eyes are glaring at him. He blinks his eyes,
leans over, and breathes the smoke from the cigarette on Lily.
Lily didn’t expect this. She doesn’t smoke at all. Lily gasps the moment Rex leans over, and she inhales
some of the smoke by accident. She gets choked and coughs until her eyes are red. Lily angrily raises
her hands and tries to fan off the smoke around her. Before she could say anything, Rex grasps her
hands.
“Rex…Hmm…”
