"I won't allow you to say that about yourself!" What Lily says is undoubtedly breaking Rex's heart. He
raises his voice as if to wake her up. "We've gone through so many bad things, but because of these
unhealed scars, are you going to give up?"
"I also don't want to give up, but..." She starts to chock and can't continue.
"Believe me. Believe Karl. He will help you through. Everyone is waiting for you. Don't you want to see
Adair as soon as possible?"
Speaking of Adair, Lily finally has a slight reaction. Although she doesn't remember where this child has
come from, her heart trembles every time someone mentions him. That indescribable emotion always
makes her somewhat uncontrollably excited. Subconsciousness never lies.
She almost forgets that she's a mother.
Rex heaves a sigh of relief as she has some reactions. "Lily, this is not our life. It's just because you
need to get the treatment that we're staying here. When you are confident enough that your recovery
will not be too slow, we will be ready to return to our original life."
Ever since she was kidnapped by Hawk, their life has been completely disrupted. Now that the case is
over, the only thing they need to wait for is for her to recover. As for the rest, as long as they return to
China, it'll be better and better.
Lily gradually calms down. She doesn't feel so annoyed and doesn't resist as violently as just now. She
sits quietly by the bed and looks out the window. Looking at the lush forest and grass in the park not far
away, as well as the patients who are walking. Rex knows that she needs to stay alone and calm
herself down, so he decides to stay outside the ward door.
When Karl and Sally come to change the dressing, they see him sitting in the corridor of the ward. Karl
winks at Sally, then the latter takes the medicine and enters the ward. After she comes in, the two men
look at each other at the door.
"Kicked out?" Karl teases with resignation.
"When she saw the scar on her body, she cried loudly. She is in a very down mood." Rex's hands rest
on his knees, his fingers on his nose, and his voice's filled with overwhelming exhaustion.
Karl's a little surprised, but he also feels that it within his expectations. After a long time, he says,
"Somehow she will now."
"Karl, all of a sudden, I don't know what to do." Rex says in a low voice, with an expression showing his
exhaustion and sadness, "She can't remember anything about me and her. No matter what I say, she
doesn't seem to understand."
Karl feels the same way as him. Facing the difficulties, the most important thing for the couple is to
support each other and give each other confidence. But now Lily doesn't remember things about Rex,
what makes Rex unable to know what to do.
But...
"Rex, although her memory loss will make her temporarily forget you, this memory will not completely
disappear. Humans value emotions. In her subconscious, you are still the person she trusts the most."
Karl raises his hand and pats his shoulder. Suffering for such a long time, he has lost a lot of weight,
and his shoulder seems to be narrower. "She's at her most confusing moment now. You must hold on."
If the two of them lose their confidence, then no matter how superb his medical skills are, they won't
get a good result.
After all, Lily's a patient, and her endurance is limited. She needs a very strong will and the support of
the people around her to get through it. What he worries most was that Rex would also lose his
confidence.
Fortunately, Rex doesn't mean to give up. After Karl tells him that, he stands up and follows him into
the ward.
For an instant, Karl heaves a sigh of relief. However, looking at the door of the ward, he can't relax
anymore. After all these years of being a doctor, this should be the most anxious treatment he has ever
conducted. He hopes that Lily and Rex, who have suffered a lot will never experience any pain again.
...
Time goes fast, and it's another two months later. Lily's still abroad for treatment. It has been more than
three months since she's gone abroad. Adair's second semester of this school year is almost over, but
he hasn't seen his parents.
Rex considered flying back to take a look at Adair, but he couldn't stay with the child too long. This's
also harmful to the child, and he couldn't tell Adair what is going on.
Daily video chats become what Adair's looking forward to the most. They rely on the tiny iPad to
maintain this relationship.
However, separating from his parents after a long time, Adair's state is not so stable. Bree and Harry
feel worried. As they're old and there's a generation gap between them and Adair, they have to ask
Abby for help. Maybe she can go out with Adair and play with him.
Abby agrees without hesitation. She has heard some things about Lily from Orson. She's worried but
could not help her. So she thinks it'll be good to accompany Adair.
On this day, she takes Adair to his favorite amusement park and video game hall. She sees a happy
smile on his face that missed for a long time. However, this smile does not last long. By the time they
have dinner, he's no longer as happy as just now.
Abby cuts the child-specific steak in front of him and asks, "Adair, it's time to enjoy your meal! What are
you thinking about?"
Adair shakes his head. There's something wrong with his eyes, "I didn't think of anything."
Abby pretends to be sad as she looks at him, "Adair grows up. He has his little secret, so he won't tell
his godmother, right? Godmother is so sad..."
Adair's kindhearted. Hearing that, his big, bright eyes blink and his little head gradually lowers. After a
long time, he whispers, "I miss my mom and dad."
Looking at his small shoulders, small body, and the voice that speaks of longing but lowered, Abby
feels heartbroken.
"Don't you video with your parents every day?"
Adair nods, "But I want to see them face to face. I want them to take me to school and have a meal
with me like before."
Adair grows up under the care of Lily. He has a childhood that lacks fatherly love, so he's well-behaved
and sensible, and more sensitive than his peers. It's not long since the three of them lived a happy life
together that they have to be separated again. He's just six years old, and he must also be really sad
about that.
Abby feels so sorry about him, as she grabs the little hands he places on the table. "Mom and dad
have to deal with some things. If it wasn't for that, they must have come back to see you. They really
miss you."
"Really?" Adair sympathetically curls his lips, resisting the urge to cry, "I'm afraid they will abandon
me..."
"No, of course not!" Abby feels so sorry for this little boy as if her heart is stabbed by something, "They
definitely won't abandon you. Your parents love you the most."
"Then why don't they come to see me?"
Abby does not know how to explain it to him. She can only say, "Adair, everyone has their own
responsibilities. Apart from being your parent, your father is a barrister. He also needs to help
others."

"Then why don't they come to see me?"
