Let's Get Married

"Vivian said you were on business trip in South Africa. Your grandma suddenly fell ill, and you had to come from so far... "Amelia thinks she is "caring" him, unaware of how stiff she sounds.

Rex stops her, "It’s nothing. Where is Grandpa?"

"He is at home. He was also shocked when it happened. But we have told him everything was fine. We asked him to stay home since he couldn’t be much of a help here."

"Okay." Rex nods and watches his grandma on the bed.

Actually, he feels guilty. He thinks of the conflicts and arguments concerning Lily that happened between them before. Though he knows he did nothing wrong, still, he feels responsible for Grandma’s condition.

Depression is filling the ward. At this moment, Karl comes and asks him to have a word.

In the escape corridor, Rex lights a cigarette, breathes in hard and leans against the wall. Several seconds later, he raises his head and breathes out.

Karl glances at him, "I thought you quit smoking."

"Just one. I am stressed now."

"You came back overnight?" Karl checks the time and looks at Rex’s exhausted face. He signs with resignation and mollifies Rex, "Acute myocarditis is a common illness in elderly people. It is not deadly. Just make sure she sticks with scientific medication treatment. The recovery is going to be long and slow. But for the present it is not a big deal. You don’t need to worry too much."

Rex keeps his head up and answers lightly, "Okay."

Seeing him so down, Karl can’t help but chatter, "Did you take the medicine I gave you?"

"Yes, I did." Rex reaches to flick the ashes into the dustbin beside. He is lying about taking the medicine.

"Really?" Karl doesn’t buy it and persuades him, "How about you coming for a thorough physical examination some time these days? I can check if something is wrong with your body before it is too late."
