Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Lily doesn't expect that her words would cause such a dramatic reaction. Dumbfounded, she stutters,

"I... I was just asking."

"Alright." The man's eyes are bright as he tells her frankly, "I am unhappy."

"Why?"

He is so close, and his eyes are so... affectionate. His words are perfectly normal, but they sound like

sweet talk. Lily suddenly feels that the wound on her back is 'itching' again.

"Because I have to face the people who indirectly hurt you again." Thinking of Hawk and all the

frightening things that have happened in the past half a month, Rex turns cold.

Lily has never seen such a sharp gaze from him before. She says somewhat uncomfortably, "Can you

sit down and talk? I'm so tired and a little out of breath."

Seeing her dodging gaze, Rex finally stands up and sits down on a chair beside her. Watching her pale

face and dry lips, he still has a lingering fear of what has happened half a month ago.

"Tell me how I got injured," after pondering for a moment, Lily opens her mouth and asks. Ever since

she woke up, no one has talked anything about her illness. She knows that if she wants the truth, she

could only ask Rex. But she was not ready for it. But now, facing his serious and frightening

expression, she feels it necessary for her to know.

"Half a month ago, you were kidnapped by people from Country Y. The person who kidnapped you is

the main culprit in one of my cases." Rex speaks slowly, trying to explain the process in a more

acceptable way. "They've held you hostage for nearly half a month. During which, you suffered a lot.

Later on, we managed to find their base, but an explosion happened unexpectedly. That's why you are

so seriously injured."

Lily listens quietly and asks, "Isn't the one looking for you just now a police officer? Why are you still

unhappy?"

Shouldn't they be working together?

When it comes to the captain, Rex seems to have mixed feelings. He lowers his head slightly and the

hair on his forehead hides half of his eyebrows. "Before he left for the mission, he promised me to

protect you and have you return safely. However, when the incident happened, he didn't do so. Instead,

he put you in danger. I understand his decision, but I can't forgive him."

There's no guarantee that Lily would not suffer any sequelae or that her burnt skin could recover to its

original state. Perhaps because of his decision, she would have to live with those injuries for the rest of

her life.

It's not that he doesn't forgive the captain, it is that he doesn't have the right to forgive him for her.

Lily doesn't know if it is because of her amnesia or something else, when she listens to Rex talking

about the accident, she isn't as uncomfortable as she has expected. Instead, it is more like he is talking

about others' stories.

She understands what he is concerning, but is surprised to find that he is willing to do so much for her.

In a word, all his feelings are influenced by her.

Lily is moved. When she speaks again, her voice is much softer. "It's right to take things as they come.

They didn't do anything wrong. If it weren't for them, I'd be dead by now. I wouldn't even have the

chance to suffer."

Rex has heard so many people say such things to him, but every time he recalls the black smoke in the

scene, his chest is clogged.

"Nothing is more important to me than you. Don't say 'die' so easily. I won't allow any accidents to

happen to you again." He expresses his feelings to her so plainly, without hiding anything.

His tone is so firm. His passionate eyes dispel all her doubts and move her.

Suddenly, her head starts to ache as some fragments of scenes flash through her mind. She sees

herself covered in mud, and sees Rex holding a pistol.

"Protect yourself. Be careful."

A clear female voice echoes in her ears. Who is speaking? Why is the voice so similar to hers?

All sorts of messy scenes attack her. But each of the broken memories doesn't match. As a result, she

is even more pained and twisted.

"What's the matter?" Rex notices her nose is covered in sweat and assumes what he has just said

should have stimulated her memory. He hurriedly stands up and presses the button. "I'll call the doctor

over."

In less than five minutes, the nurses and doctors are all in the ward. Karl's office is farther so he is a

little late. The moment he steps into the ward, he is caught by Rex. "She suddenly has a headache.

What's going on?"

Karl bends down to observe the data and asks softly, "Did you remember something?"

Lily is caught off guard by his question and nods hesitantly. "Yes, some of them."

Karl heaves a sigh of relief. "This is a good thing. Don't worry. If you still have a severe headache later,

I'll have someone give you an injection to calm you down. If you feel better, there's no need for it. After

all, more or less, all medicines have side effects. And it won't be good for your memory recovery."

At this point, Lily has completely believed that she has amnesia.

Otherwise, she couldn't explain the scenes that have just flashed through her mind.

"Take a rest. Don't think too much. There's no hurry to recover. Don't think too hard, or it will have the

opposite effect." With that, Karl turns around to talk to the nervous, concerned man, "Rex, come out

with me for a moment."

Rex glances at the little woman on the bed and says with concern, "I'll be right back."

"Okay."

...

They walk out of the ward and go straight to the rooftop of the hospital. The wind is much stronger on

the upper floors. Karl's white coat flutters in the wind, bringing out his vibe as a doctor.

"Rex, what did you just say to her?"

"The police have come to talk to me. She saw it and asked me how she got injured. So I had a quick

word with her." Rex takes out an unopened pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He picks a cigarette and

brings it to his lips.

The white smoke rises and is soon blown away by the wind, leaving only the red, glittering spot of the

cigarette.

"I didn't expect that would stimulate her memory." When he talks to her, he has removed the

unpleasantness as much as possible in case she would feel uncomfortable.

Karl shakes his head. "It's not stimulating. If the content of your conversation isn't too shocking, it only

means that parts of her memories aren't hidden very deeply by her. You can talk about something

related to her past."

Rex's hand holding the cigarette stiffens. "Does that mean she has a higher chance of remembering?"

"That's right." Karl thinks about the police officer Lily mentioned and suggests with deliberation,

"Sometimes, stimulation is not necessarily a bad thing. As a doctor, I wish to know where the limit of

my patient is. I think you should meet the police officer and the one who has the greatest impact on

her."

Rex narrows his eyes and asks coldly, "Who do you mean?"

"Hawk."
