Lily’s relationship with Rex has finally eased. Even though she is still not kind to him, fortunately, she does not continue to evade him.
Harry is recovering well and Rex has always felt guilty. No matter what, he should not affect the elders.
He has sent a lot of gifts to the RED Community. At first, Bree is afraid that Harry would be mad and throws them out. After several days, their neighbors start to gossip. These gifts are all valuable, it’s wasteful but no one dares to pick them up.
Bree has no choice but asks Lily to tell him not to send anything to their house anymore.
“I know, mom. I will tell him… hmm, that’s it then. I’m still busy; I’ll call you back later, bye.” Lily hangs up the phone helplessly and leans to the driver’s seat to look into his eyes, “See, have you heard it. I’ve told you not to send gifts but you insist, my parents are not happy.”
“I know.” Rex’s expression does not change, “They misunderstand me and it won’t be solved in a short time.”
Lily is surprised, “Then you still sent gifts?”
Do you have a lot of money?
“I gave them because I feel sorry. Now that I can’t visit them in person, just regard this as a method to console myself.” Even though it is a little selfish, he could not think of a better way.
He has been engaged in the business world for so many years, and with his ingenuity and wisdom, he becomes successful. But this is the first time that Rex is incapable of doing anything.
“Stop sending, my parents will only hate more and more if you’re like this.” After that, Lily sees him slightly closing his eyes, which makes her feel uncomfortable. She persuades him, “Wait for the chance and we’ll talk about it.”
Rex smiles bitterly, “Yeah.”
The atmosphere is a little gloomy and Lily does not want it. She then voluntarily changes the topic, “Oh right, take me to the hospital later.”
“What are you doing there?”
“Previously I took charge of the lawsuit of one of Karl’s patients, although I’d left my job, I still need to take good care of it. I’ll just take a look at the situation.” After leaving, this is also the case that Lily worried the most.
Rex nods and drives the car to the hospital. Since she has mentioned it, he simply asks her, “When are you going to return to the company?”
Lily’s head, that is lowered to look at her phone, freezes. Her voice is cold, “I didn’t plan to go back.”
“Then are you going to be idling like this all the time? I haven’t approved your resignation report. I’m just giving you suspension; it’s not difficult to come back…”
“Since I’d left, I must have thought carefully about it.” Lily looks away at the scene of the street that flashes through the window, “Even if I don’t care of going back, others will gossip about it.”
When she submitted the resignation letter, she had no intention of going back.
Rex twists his brows, he does not understand her persistence, “I can help you if you work in Han Yu. It is not that easy to work in another law company. Women may be discriminated in the workplace…”
“Rex, I’m twenty-four and soon twenty-five years old. I must be responsible for my life.” Her tone is weak, but the words she speaks are very powerful, “I know what I’m doing.”
Knowing that she is a stubborn person, even though he really wants her to return to Han Yu, Rex doesn’t force her anymore. At this juncture, he needs to give her space to think. Forcing is not helpful; it will just make her feel disgusted.
The car stops at the downstairs of the inpatient department of the hospital building. Lily gets off the car and Rex follows her. The two walk to the front of the car. Lily looks at the tall figure in front of her who wears a suit and leather shoes, and her hand that carries her bag tightens. She then whispers, “I’m going up.”
After that, she raises one foot to walk. When she has just stepped and without waiting for it to land, her shoulders are grasped by a pair of warm arms, she is then taken into a warm embrace.
“You…”
“Just for a while.” The man’s voice is hoarse which is a little sexy. He wears a formal black suit today. When he holds her, the cloth on his shoulders will be wrinkled, which makes people restless.
Lily is powerless to refuse this embrace because he truly just wraps her body gently, nothing more.
However, this hug makes her more nervous than any other exciting things she has experienced.
After a while, he lets her go and his faint eyes fall on her face, which is deep yet passionate, “Call me when it’s over.”
When the words fall, there is a puff of wind blowing the scattered hair on her forehead. Before she could raise her hand, the man has naturally moved it behind her ears. For a moment, Lily even thinks they have returned to their previous intimate relationships.
Her heart beats so fast that makes her little flustered. She then hurriedly agrees and walks towards the door of the inpatient department.
His scorching eyes follow behind her all the way till the induction door is opened and is then closed, which completely separates them.
After walking to the corner, Lily sighs with relief. This man really makes her feel nervous no matter how long they have been getting along.
Rex keeps looking at her back in a distance until she has completely walked out of his sight, and then he retreats his gaze.
When he is preparing to pull the door of the car to get in, he has a strange feeling; He suddenly looks up at the hospital department, his eyes wander on the glass window and finally land on the room where the curtains are slightly shaken. If it is not for his excellent eyesight, he would have not been able to distinguish the subtle range.
If he remembers correctly, it is Marina’s ward.
The man frowns and sits in the car. By looking out through the dark window of the car, nothing is wrong, but he thinks someone was standing there just now.
Is it because of his nervousness?
