Good, it is good enough, but…
She, she…she…she didn't prepare well!!
"Rex," Lily says, her breath disordered as her eyes drifting between the wall and him. "I only have a
high fever, not a terminal disease. You don't have to do…"
"It has nothing to do with your illness."
"But…"
"No buts." Rex says with his cheeks flushed. Although his tone sounds a bit dominating, his eyes
express nervousness. For the first time, he finds it so hard to say something."Just tell me if you want to
be with me or not." He says after a long time of mental preparation.
Even though Lily is confused, she isn't stupid. After being in a daze for a few seconds, she shakes her
head."No, I can't."
"…"
"…"
The room is cold as the air seems to have frozen.
After speaking, Lily realizes that her refusal might have been too straightforward. She boldly glances at
the man's face, and as expected, his face has gone dark.
She already has a bit of understanding regarding Rex's behavior. Expressing himself is almost like
putting a knife on his neck. Making him talk and express himself is not easy at all.
Just as she is thinking of a way to make up for it, Rex suddenly stands up. Lily only feels a fierce wind
passing by and then at the next second, the lights in the room disappear as the door is shut off with a
bang.
Everything is dark, only a small light comes through the window.
The night wind blows in, taking away much of the embarrassment and dullness.
Lily feels relieved, thinking that this is a good thing. At least they cannot see each other's faces. It will
also not be that awkward since she feels like their relationship now is a bit ambiguous.
Rex turns off the light before turning around and going to the private bathroom in the ward. Then there
comes the sound of water splashing, and when he comes out again, she can vaguely see the towel on
his head in the dark.
He has gone to wash up himself.
Now, it is also time to rest.
Lily watches as he goes to lie down on the side of the single bed. His back is to her, leaving a dark
silhouette. But even so, she can imagine how gloomy his expression must be.
She doesn't know why, but she finds him a little cute..
He turned off the lights and went to sleep after being refused by her? He must be the only one.
Thinking of this, she feels a bit sorry for him and summons up the courage to softly call out his
name."Rex?"
The only response she receives is the coldness in the room. Pursing her lips, she smiles."Are you
asleep?"
In fact, she knows very well that he won't fall asleep. She guesses that he cannot calm down, and that
he must be extremely irritated.
"I'm not asleep!" he replies, his voice ringing out in the quiet ward. One can hear the unhappiness by
just listening to his voice.
But Lily isn't afraid at all; she only feels amused."Thank you for taking care of me all day." She says in a
clear voice, knowing now was not the time to laugh.
Even though this sentence is to comfort Rex, it cannot be denied that it also expresses her inner
thoughts.
After all, he has already made a concession. Even if she hasn't completely let go of the things before,
she is still moved by his attitude and actions.
People's hearts are made of flesh. No one has to do anything for others. After leading a wandering life
for five years, Lily knows this deeply.
"You're not planning to be with me, so why are you being so polite?" He says in an aggressive manner.
"You're right." Lily agrees.
Rex is speechless
Little girl! What did she say just now? She said that with an arrogant attitude, but now she's pretending
to be innocent!
The more he thinks about it, the more irritated he gets. The more he carefully probes into her words,
the more aggrieved he becomes. Half a minute passes, and he suddenly springs up from the cot and
turns his head to look at the woman in the bed.
He catches Lily's peeping. Lily then hurriedly looks away and raises the quilt over her head, pretending
that nothing has happened.
The whole scene is amusing.
Rex stands up and walks over to the bed. He can see her body shiver as he approaches her.
She is so thin and short. Now as the white quilt covers her whole body, it makes look more petite.
Originally, Rex was annoyed since she refused his proposal and said those annoying words. But when
he sees the petite figure on the bed, his heart softens.
She isn't the first woman to refuse his confession, but she is the person he favors above all, and the
mother of his child.
As he thinks of this, Rex finds himself not worrying any longer. She has given birth to Adair for him, and
she's now single; so does he. Then what should he worry about?
"It is okay if you don't accept me." He says mostly to himself."I've never pursued a woman seriously
before. I just lacked the chance to do it."
His husky voice makes Lily's heart miss one beat. She holds her breath as she feels her face warm up.
Did he mean to pursue her?
"What I said to you just now is true. I know you haven't fully let go of certain things, but I will cover all of
the bad memories with good memories. I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I will try my best."
He says every word slowly; the words that reach her ears are filled with the kind of charm that makes
people want to continue listening.
But then the room is overwhelmed by silence. Lily waits, but when nothing changes, she can't help but
lift the quilt. Suddenly a big hand is over her head, his hand gently caressing her.
Lily is so familiar with this action. She has stroked Adair's little head like this for so many times.
It is the kind that brings love and pity, and the desire to get closer to the other party. She's familiar with
it.
This is more than any physical contact, which makes Lily's heart beat faster. She cannot help it.
In the face of Rex, not just her, all women would be able to resist his tenderness. All she can do is to
keep quiet and just listen.
"You being sick this time made me see and understand what is inside my heart. I can't let you go, and I
can't let go of Adair. Forcing you is far more painful than forcing myself. If this makes things difficult for
you, then I'll take a step back, because I believe that you still love me."
His voice is a bit shaky, making the last few words unsteady. Lily raises her hand to her mouth as her
eyes overflow with tears.
He is so abominable, always saying the things she herself doesn't want to admit.
After all, they were once in love. He will never be like Ryan. He's always been confident about his
feelings. She is the one he wants, and she feels the same way about him.
Lily tries to hold back the cries in her throat, but then Rex blurts out something that makes her unable
to hold back the tears.
"I won't make you go through the things of five years ago. Just like today, I will give you and the child
me absolute best. Good Night, my girl."
But then the room is overwhelmed by silence. Lily waits, but wnen nothing changes, she can't help but
