Let's Get Married

There is no trace of confusion and strangeness in her expression, as if she is merely helping him to boot up.

Rex frowns lightly with an observation, and then glances at the phone to found that Lily had call him for more than twenty times. His complexion slightly changes but doesn’t call her back directly and looks at Marina who is in front of him, “Why are you here?”

Marina bits her lips and walks to stand in front of him, “Rex, I’ve something to tell you.”

“What?”

“You’ve also seen the result of my examination. My body has no more major problem. The wound that did not heal before is because of the platelets and now it’s all right. I think….” She suddenly pauses and looks up to face Rex, “I want to go home.”

“No.” Rex refuses almost without thinking.

“Rex, I….”

Without waiting for her to speak, Rex interrupts, “Marina, your condition is not stable yet.”

“But I’ve been staying here for five years. Five years. All of my youth has been wasted in this sanitarium. I have no friends, no family and not even a people I can talk to.

Sure enough, the last sentence would make Rex’ face changes. After hesitating for a long time, he raises his hand to put on her shoulders to consoler her, “Marina, I can’t gamble your body.”

Rex purses his lips and keeps silence. In the end, he still hugs her and caresses her dry hair. She used to have a beautiful long hair.

Rex slightly closes his eyes, “I won’t leave you. I’ve promised your parents to take care of you till the end.”

The tender words are a harsh one for her. Parents, he always talking about her parents! She doesn’t want Rex to be with her just because of her parents!

“Rex, have I become a burden for you? If so, I might as well die….”
