Let's Get Married

He turns around and puts up a long face. The phone gets connected right away and Lily sounds panic over the phone. She questions Rex, “Where did you take my child to?”

Rex licks his chapped lips, ignores her screams, and asks her a question in a guilty tone, “Where are you now?”

“I’m looking for my child!” Lily’s hands are shaking as she speaks, “Where did you…”

“We are at the hospital,” Rex stops her. Just five words and that’s enough to scare Lily.

Before she could ask him where he hides the child, what Rex tells Lily stuns her.

Hospital?

Why are they in the hospital?

It is always something bad when people mention about hospitals. When Lily thinks about what could happen to her child, she panics and it feels like her energies are drew out instantly. She could barely hold her phone, “What…What happens to Adair?”

“He is fine. It’s just indigestion. Karl has given him some medicine and a drip,” Rex explains in a calm tone but underneath that tone, he is as panic as Lily is.

Lily couldn’t see Adair’s condition over the phone. The moment she thinks about Rex taking Adair away without her permission and got him into the hospital, she becomes furious. Lily tries to calm herself down from the panics and the waves of anger she is feeling, her jaws clenched, and her cheeks puffed. She takes a few deep breaths to pull herself together.

“Tell me the ward number. I’m on my way.”

Rex hesitates for a minute but he gives her the number anyway.

Lily doesn’t dare to trigger Rex at this moment. She worries that he would take the child away again if he’s isn’t happy. She tries to talk to him in her best attitude, “Please, stay there and watch Adair. I’ll be there right away.”
