After saying a few words to Karl, Lily returns to the ward where Rex lies flat on the bed with the same posture as before. Because he cannot move, he can only turn his eyes to one side as much as he can to see Lily. The black eyeballs are laid on one side, which makes him look a little amusing.
However, Lily doesn’t care. She walks over and strokes the man’s smooth forehead, “It’s okay as long as you don’t fever again.”
Rex stares at the woman standing beside the bed. When he wakes up, there is no one in the ward. At that moment, he is panicked before he could gain his consciousness. Only after knowing that Lily and Karl have rushed into the ward does he feel relieved.
However, because of this accident, he can only lie in bed like this, unable to even give even a hug. This feeling of powerlessness and fragility makes him feel like he is a cripple.
Lily notices his negative emotions and doesn’t know what to say to comfort him. After this incident, the relationship between the two seems to be even more precious. She wants to accompany him, but she also knows that a man who is usually so arrogant will definitely feel uncomfortable in this condition.
Who wants to show his incompetence in front of his beloved woman?
However, Lily does not think so. She knows that the reason why he becomes like this is for the sake of his child, and, her.
In Rex’s burning gaze, she leans closer to the man’s beautiful thin lips and kisses him lightly on his dry lips.
There are not too many movements. She just leans gently on him and gives him a light kiss. Their heartbeats seem to be the same as each other because of this kiss.
Lily doesn’t keep this kiss for too long. She is afraid that it will affect his breathing. His respiratory tract is damaged, so she has to be careful and pay more attention.
She straightens her waist and stands not too far away from him. She carefully puts her arms by his side, afraid that she will touch somewhere improperly. “Rex, it’s really good that you’re fine.”
A few days of worry turns into sparkling tears with Rex recovering his consciousness. When her eyelashes flicker a few times, she blinks a few drops of tears. Rex can’t help but frown as he looks at her. He wants to reach out to wipe away her tears, but when he uses just a bit of strength, his body becomes numb. He can only watch helplessly.
“Don’t cry…” Rex endures the pain and spits out these two words. He does his best.
“Alright, I won’t cry.” Lily doesn’t want to affect his emotions so she raises her hand and rubs her cheeks randomly, squeezing out a smile that isn’t good-looking. “Adair is fine, you can rest assured. Now that Aunt Fanny and Abby are accompanying him at home and Pehry’s guards are also outside, you don’t need to worry.”
She conceals information of Ryan, fearing that he will think nonsense and worsen his illness.
Rex stares at her and listens to her words. His eyes are the reflection of her figure. It is clearly so petite, but it gives him the most resolute strength.
“Adair has only a few wounds on his body. The doctor has already examined them and decides that it doesn’t matter. He’s just frightened and needs to rest for a few days.” Lily is afraid that he will be worried, so she tells him this. “Right now, the most important thing is your body. You don’t need to think about anything else.”
“What did Karl say to you just now?” Rex asks after she finishes her words.
Lily’s heart skips a beat when he asks. Thinking of what Karl has told her just now, she will not tell him all these anyway. She is deceived by his lying on the hospital bed. In fact, he is still so sharp that he can see through her with a single glance.
Lily stands up and raises her hand to reach for the medical syringe beside her. Actually, she is just avoiding the man’s gaze. “He just tells me about the problems I need to pay attention to when you do recovery exercise.”
“Anything more?” The man’s voice is deep. He isn’t asking but confirms that they must have talked something else.
Lily knows that she can’t conceal it at all, and she can only play it by ear first. “Brother Karl did say that it might be difficult for you to recover at later stage, but it only takes at most about a week. It won’t be too long.”
Rex stares at her unblinkingly. Lily feels weak, but she forces herself to remain calm. Half a minute later, she is so nervous that she almost can’t hold on. However, this man finally moves his gaze away.
She heaves a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he does not continue to ask more, otherwise, she really does not know how to conceal it.
After Rex wakes up, Pehry, Orson, and the others come to see him again. At night, he finally can talk without great difficulty and can also drink some water.
Rex winks at Karl. Karl then takes Lily out. The three men are in the ward together, looking at each other. Finally, they start their chats.
“I’m already dealing with Vivian. Actually, she doesn’t have any detailed plans behind her. I guess it was impulse that blinded her. She wanted to see you with all her heart.” Pehry says indifferently, not saying anything about what he has done these past few days.
Ever since Pehry has taken control of Vivian, he has not handed her over to the police. Although Vivian’s family is now exerting pressure on the police, it is after all a matter of kidnapping and they will not gain any benefits. The police negotiate with them, but it is mostly just a formality. If there weren’t be any compulsory requirements, Vivian will be in Pehry’s hands.
Vivian poisons Rex with such a poisonous addictive drug, which made Pehry almost go mad when he found it out, so Pehry had someone get the same drug and poisoned Vivian with a double volume in order to revenge.
As for when to release her, at least it’d be when Rex can walk out of this ward.
“I won’t interfere with anything else. But you should not go so far as to kill her.” Although Rex hates Vivian to the bone, he doesn’t want Pehry’s life to be stained, “It isn’t worth for such a woman.”
Orson also echoes, “Yes, Pehry. You have to pay attention.”
“Don’t worry, I know.” Pehry waves his hand carelessly. His long and narrow eyes are filled with darkness. “I will definitely let her live no better than die!”
“Rex, leave all these matters to us, your brothers. You have to take good care of yourself now.” Orson says as he glances at the ward door. “Lily is a good woman. She has been staying at your bed to look after you for the past few days. For her sake, you have to be fine,” Orson says.
How can Rex not know all these?
Right now, he is lying in such a sorry state that he can’t move. Someone helps him eat and drink. However, not only does he not enjoy it, but he feels himself a cripple. Lily takes care of him all the time and is always afraid that he will not feel emotionally good. He feels heartache for her carefulness to avoid hurting his heart.
Thinking of all this, the man’s slightly smiled. “I know. I’ll see you all in the Red Club when I’m well.”
Hearing it, Pehry and Orson feel relieved and say, “Alright! Rex, we’ll wait for you!”
Lily is dragged to the office by Karl to talk about something about medicine treatment. Although the nurse has told her before, he is afraid that she will forget it. He repeats it again and half an hour after, when she returns to the ward, Pehry and Orson have already left. Only Rex is here.
“They’re gone?” Lily looks around the empty ward and is shocked.
Rex no longer feels his throat as painful as it was when he woke up. He looks at the water beside him and says, “Feed me.”
Lily immediately walks over to pour out the water and inserts a straw into the cup and places it to his mouth. Unexpectedly, the man does not drink but suddenly kisses the back of Lily’s hand.
His warm lips scratch her skin. Lily’s entire body seems to have been passed through an electricity. Her face turns red, and her eyes widen like copper bells. “You, you …”
But Rex is calm as if he hasn’t done anything. His eyebrows are filled with emotions, and his hoarse voice sounds sexy at this moment. “I can’t reach your lips, so I can only kiss your hand.”
