Lily is waiting for Rex in the ward. But he hasn't come back. She's so worried that she goes to the
doctor's office to look for him. But the doctor tells her that Rex has left 20 minutes ago.
Lily thanks the doctor. Then she leaves the office and calls Rex. Fortunately, Rex picks it up soon. Lily's
voice is a little tense. "Where are you?"
"Karl's office."
"Now?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Lily gets relieved. "It scared me when I couldn't find you. I thought you were gone."
When Rex hears her heavy breathing through the phone, he sits up from the sofa. Then he winks at
Karl and walks out. "I'm going down. Wait for me at the elevator."
"Alright."
In less than five minutes, Rex walks out of the elevator. Seeing that he is safe, Lily feels a relief. "Why
didn't you tell...?"
Before she could finish her words, she is pulled into a warm embrace. Her mouth hits Rex's chest and
she has to withhold the words.
When Lily feels that Rex hugs her tighter, her heart starts melting. She has such a bittersweet feeling,
and her heart overflows with the maternal instinct. "What happened? I haven't seen you for a while and
you've become like this again."
"Babe, let's get married."
Lily stops stroking his back. Rex suddenly proposes to her, but she is not prepared at all.
Lily thinks that Rex is impulsive. "What are you talking about?"
"Grandpa isn't well. The doctor said that he won't live long. I don't want him to leave us without even
seeing me living a happy life."
So that's what he thought.
Lily feels someone is ripping her heart out of her chest. "Alright, it's up to you."
Rex does not say anything. He only hugs her tighter. Fortunately, Lily is still here. Otherwise, he does
not know if he could hold on.
...
No one tells Adonis about his illness. They just say that the doctor told them it doesn't matter and he's
fine. But he should stay in the hospital for some time for observation. Then he could stay the same by
taking medicines.
Adonis doesn't seem to doubt it as he nods in agreement. However, he looks very tired and low-
spirited. So, Lily asks Adair to go to the hospital every day to accompany Adonis.
When she thinks that Adonis is running out of time, she just feels bad as his granddaughter-in-law.
One day, Rex brings Lily and Adair to the hospital to visit Adonis. The atmosphere is very nice. So, Rex
takes the opportunity. "Grandpa, Lily and I thought it's time to hold our wedding. The date has not been
set yet. Which day do you think is the best?"
Adonis is looking down at Adair's drawing. Hearing this, he pauses for a moment and turns to look at
Rex. "Your wedding..."
Adonis seems to be thinking of something. After a while, he says intermittently, "I think 18th this mouth
is not bad. What do you think?"
18th?
Lily takes out her phone and looks at the calendar. It's the next Saturday. It's coming soon. They only
have ten days left.
Can they make it?
But Rex has no problems. "Alright, the eighteenth is good."
For Rex, the sooner the better. If they postponed their wedding, he doesn't know if Adonis could live to
that day. He doesn't care about how much money he would spend on the wedding. He just wants it to
be done in time.
"Rex, I know why you're holding your wedding now." Just as Rex and Lily are thinking about their
wedding, Adonis suddenly says, "I'm too old and I'm going to die."
Ever since he's hospitalized, Adonis has never asked anyone about his illness. Everyone thinks that he
believes the doctor's words. And he also believes that there are no serious problems with his body.
"I know that you are hiding it from me. But I know how I am now. You don't have to be so cautious. I just
know it." As Adonis speaks, he struggles to raise his hand and points to his chest.
Adonis feels better after saying that. But it shocks Rex and Lily.
It turns out that Adonis has known about his illness during all this time.
They thought...
Even Rex gets surprised when he hears this. "Grandpa..."
"It's fine. You don't have to say anything. I've get prepared at my age."
The ward goes silent for a moment, which is unbearable to all of them. Adair does not know what
happened. He looks up at Adonis and asks, "Grandpa, what are you prepared for?"
He listens to them talking, but he doesn't quite understand what they meant. So, Adair blurts out that
question. And Lily fails to stop him.
She thought that Adonis would feel uncomfortable, but he only smiles and replies, "I'm ready to dress
you up as a pretty little flower boy."
Lily turns more sorrowful when she hears it.
She immediately looks away. She's afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.
Everyone is suppressing their sadness because they don't want to cast a gloom over the ward. So, Lily
must pull herself together too.
So, in the end, their wedding is set for the next Saturday, the 18th of this month.
Rex takes Lily with him when he hangs out with his friends on the weekend. He tells everyone about
their wedding and Adonis's illness. And he doesn't tell them until the end of the party. He just doesn't
want to ruin their party.
Everyone comforts him and adjusts their schedule to spare for the Saturday.
The wedding dress is the same custom-made one. The designer keeps it for them and takes good care
of it. So, it glows and fits well. Then they choose the best hotel in the city for the wedding. It's hard to
get the reservation even if they book it a year ago. But Rex manages to get the largest private room
through his connections.
Lily has no problems with his arrangements and does everything as he wants. She goes to the flower
shop in the morning. Then she goes to the hospital to visit Adonis after picking up Adair in the
afternoon. Rex is busy arranging their wedding. Therefore, they could only see each other at night.
One day, Lily doesn't go to the hospital. After Adair finishes his homework and she puts him to sleep
with great difficulty, Rex finally comes back.
Looking at the exhausted man, Lily is worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on until the wedding.
She feels bad for Rex, so she walks over and takes over his briefcase. Then she looks at the time. It's
already past ten o'clock. "What took you so long?"
"I went to check the stuff at the hotel."
"Just ask your assistant to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, you'll be too tired."
Rex bends down and changes his shoes. He stands up and looks into Lily's big eyes, which are filled
with concern. "Babe, we both don't want to rush it. If I didn't do this myself, I'm shabbily treating
you."
