Let's Get Married

Lily doesn’t know how she gets out of his office, she only knows that her heart was crumpled and crushed by Karl’s words. His every single word becomes a picture that flashes through her mind. She can even picture the poor days of Rex.

It is her who is deceived, but why does she feel so guilty?

Lily is at a lost. When she stops, she is already in front of the ward.

Separated by a heavy door, she couldn’t see anything in the ward, but a picture of that person lying weakly on the bed appears in her mind.

The word “weak” never matches him. So when it shows up, she feels distressed.

Lily raises her hand to knock but then quickly lays it down. She does this again and again for at least five times, and then she finally takes a deep breath before pushing the door.

The light in the room shines the door. Standing at the door, she can only see the foot of the bed, and his legs under the white blanket. She walks in quietly, approaching step by step, then she sees his feet, waist, and chest… Finally, her vision fixes on the pale yet handsome face.

He is in a blue hospital gown. She can smell the remaining smell of alcohol once she enters the ward. The smell still hasn’t dispersed after a whole night, which tells that he has drunk much last night.

His stomach has always been bad. He seldom eats spicy food, and now, he drinks till bleeding.

Lily looks at his depressed face; her heart is anxious yet irritating. Originally, she just wants to look at him from distance and leave. But after a long time, she can’t help but softening up and just wants to get closer.

A few steps away, Lily walks to the bedpost and stands still. His breathing is heavy, as though something is pressing his chest. His thick brows frown slightly; he is really uncomfortable, which lets her soften a bit.

He is in this state because of her, how should she stay out of it?

He punishes himself in this way. Even if he doesn’t mention it, she is aware of it.

Lily lowers her eyelid; her vision stays on the man on the bed for a while. There are

After things are all done, she checks his temperature again; it’s thirty-eight point two. Fortunately it doesn’t rise. Karl says that it is a normal symptom after alcoholism.
