Let's Get Married

“Did he say that?” Karl puts his hands on his knees and looks at the haggard Lily, pushing the hot tea on the table over. “I called him yesterday, but he didn’t answer. He hasn’t contacted me since then. He probably won’t come back until he succeeds.”

It is hard to imagine that Rex would tell Lily not to wait for him since he desires her so much.

Lily is expressionless. After Rex left yesterday, she cried hard. It is worse than all the other episodes. His leaving her because of his sickness makes her heart bleed. She would prefer him leaving for any other reasons.

“I know you’re upset now. He did all this for you and your child. He must be more upset than any of us.” Karl knows that nothing can comfort Lily now, but he wants to say something.

Lily chuckles and shakes her head. “I don’t have any hopes right now. I just wish that he can recover quickly. When I think about how he must be suffering in that place, I will....”

She chokes as she speaks. When the worries that she has bottled up are mentioned, she would burst into tears.

“Do you want to see him?” Karl asks tentatively. They have the address where Rex is being treated. Not to mention he and Rex have the same profession. At the very least, Pehry can find him.

“No.” Lily refuses without hesitation. She has thought about this countless times last night, and now she has gotten over it. “Since he feels that leaving is the best option, I respect his choice. If I go to see him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”

Karl is a little surprised that she would say such a thing. He knows she is reasonable, but he just finds out that she is decisive.

“Alright, just let me know when you want to see him.”

…

After arriving at Lee’s clinic, Rex is admitted to a prepared ward. He has a full body check-up, and the numbers are more accurate than last time. Even the content of the drugs in his blood is clear.

Lee tells him about the first treatment plan with the test results, “First, we will cut off the supplementary drugs that Karl’s Hospital has prescribed for you. Although it can relieve the pain, you are not at home anymore. They are not good for you.”
