Let's Get Married

They sit on the rooftop feeling the breeze for some time. When they both calm down, they return to Harry's ward.

Bree is a light sleeper due to her age, and she is even startled by their soft movements.

"Lily?" Bree is still a little sleepy when she sees a black figure walking over.

Lily is slightly surprised. "Mom, did we wake you?"

"What time is it? Why are you back so late?" Bree picks up the watch beside her and checks the time. It is almost dawn.

As she speaks, she looks up, only to discover that behind Lily is an indistinct figure. "Who is this?"

Rex walks out from behind and holds Lily's tense small hand. "Bree, it's me. Rex."

The air feels still from that answer. Rex also holds back his breath a little, feeling nervous under the gaze of an elder.

After a long time, Bree walks over to them and says in a low voice, "Let's go out and talk. Don't disturb your dad."

The three of them walk to the end of the corridor. The unique incandescent light shines above them, which renders Rex's face even paler.

Noticing how weak Rex is, Bree doesn't have the heart to blame him. The atmosphere is solemn. Lily speaks first, "Mom, Rex has been under treatment for the past six months, because he got addicted after rescuing Adair from that kidnapping. However, he's almost cured now. There's no need to worry."

Bree has heard her say this before, but she didn't know the specifics. Now that notion is materialized when she sees how gaunt Rex is.
