Chapter 559: How to Pay Her Back

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Rex peers at Lily on the bed. She lies there on her stomach. The quilt doesn't cover her upper body,

which is wrapped around with bandages. The white bandages are bloodstained. It is shocking. Her

long, soft hair has been cut to two inches short. Her big eyes, which were as bright as stars, are now

tightly closed. If it wasn't for the steam on the oxygen mask, Rex can't be able to see that Lily on the

bed is still alive.

Rex stands at the head of the bed. He is so depressed that the atmosphere is filled with his depression.

After a long silence, the door to the ward is pushed open again. The doctor in charge of Lily's treatment

comes in.

"Officer..."

Just as the doctor is about to say something, the captain raises his hand and stop the doctor. The

captain frowns and winks at the doctor to signal him not to say anything.

Rex doesn't seem to notice the others' existence. He stares at Lily on the bed for a long time with a

gloomy face. Most of the time, he only looks at Lily's face, and he dares not to look at the body under

her neck. He is afraid that he will lose control of his emotions if he looks at the bandages

It is a long time before he can say something in a hoarse and cold voice. "How is she?" he asks about

Lily's condition with concern as well as fear of hearing something.

The doctor is shocked by Rex's terrifying aura. He raises his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his

forehead. "To be honest, it's not looking good. At the time of the explosion, the patient had thrown the

bomb away, but there are still quite a few fragments that pierced into her body along with the shock

wave. We have just removed the fragments. However, I'm not sure if her wounds may be inflamed. As

for the internal organs, there are no major problems for the time being. There is edema in the lungs.

And her brain is impacted, but not very serious. The main issue is that she is badly burned..."

"..."

Of all the illnesses, burns are the most serious test of the endurance of both patients and their families.

The doctor, as an outsider, can't bear it. He can't help but comfort Rex, "Actually, when the explosion

happened, the patient did well. Judging from the location of her injuries, she had protected her head.

Therefore, the degree of injury to her face and neck is very low. Furthermore, she laid down on her

stomach on the ground, so the burns on her back and legs are more severe than that on her chest and

abdomen."

After hearing what the doctor says, Rex doesn't feel much better. When he thinks of that she had

fought so hard to protect herself the second before the explosion, he is melancholy. It is hard to

imagine the scene at that time. She was in distress and pain, but there was nothing he could do.

Rex doesn't say anything else and his face becomes paler. The captain pats the doctor on the shoulder

and says softly, "Let's go out."

Rex is not furious as the captain expects, nor is he hysterical. He stands there in despair and without

saying a word, as if he loses the whole world.

The captain dares not to look at Lily again. He feels guilty and he is too ashamed to face her.

The captain completed his missions. However, when he looks at Rex's disappointed appearance and

thinks of uncertain of Lily's life, he feels bitter. To the captain, Rex is not only the party involved in this

matter, but also someone he admires. They also have a rare tacit understanding. They had agreed not

long ago that they would attend each other's wedding. But in the blink of an eye, everything is

unknown.

The captain takes a few steps forward to face Rex and say, "If you're feeling upset, you can take it out

on me."

Rex seems to have heard a joke. He wants sneer, but he fails as if the corner of his mouth weighed ten

million kilogram, "How?"

"It's up to you, curse me or beat me."

"If I curse you and hit you, will she recover?" Looking at Lily suffering, Rex loses all of his strength as if

he loses his soul.

"Even if I can let you vent your frustration," the captain says and his eyes turn red. He raises his hand

and hammers himself on the chest. "I know you blame me, come on!"

"Hit you?" Rex finally turns to look at the captain, but the self-mockery in his eyes is obvious. "I'm afraid

of interfering with Lily's sleep."

The captain is serious. He knows that it was just Rex's excuse. Rex just doesn't want to hit him.

The captain would rather hope that Rex can vent anger on him without any scruples, so that he won't

feel so guilty.

"Go out. Leave me alone with her."

The captain looks at Rex seriously. He knows that Rex will not do anything impulsive, so he turns

around and leaves them alone.

Rex sits on a chair beside the bed. He holds Lily's hand, which is not on a drip. Her loses the original

tenderness and becomes dehydrated. The dirt in her fingernails is cleaned up, but becomes pale. In

Rex's memory, Lily has been so lively and energetic. When she was twenty-four years old, she broke

into his life. She was so vibrant and so optimistic. Afterwards, they had Adair and she became tender

as a mother and more tolerant of the outside world. However, her fiery heart never cools down at all.

However, she is lying on the hospital bed unconsciously. She is unable to move, unable to speak, and

unable to even open her eyes.

Everyone comforts him that she survives. However, the inflammation that will appear at any time

makes Rex be nervous. Even if Lily is cured, the large burns on her back and her slender legs will not

recover. How will she face such a heavily wounded body of herself when she wakes up?

She loves beauty so much...

Rex lowers his head and rubs her hand with his cheeks. His handsome facial features are covered with

grief. He would rather be the one lying here and suffering.

'Don't get hurt.'

Before the accident, she warned him, but she became like this in such a short time. Rex hates himself

for not protecting her.

She is his life. Although she is still alive, but she is no longer perfect and she is injured. The mistake

has been made from the beginning. He should have listened to her advice long ago. If he has not taken

the case, she would at least be safe.

His ideal or his ambition is just nothing in front of her. He almost loses her, but he can't go back no

matter how regretful he is.

He had promised her that he would take good care of her and would not put her in danger, but he broke

his promise. He hates Hawk and the captain, but he hates himself the most.

The man buries his face in her palm and sheds tear. He doesn't know how to pay her back for what she

suffers.
