Let's Get Married

Actually, Lily is not Ryan's type. But he has grown attached to her. Trying constantly to get close to her, he sometimes has the illusion of having her already.

"Ryan, I don’t deserve you." Her throat feels tight as Lily is panicky.

"Don't worry." He bends his fingertips and lightly taps on the steering wheel, interrupting her, "I used to want more from you, but not anymore. I guess you and Rex will never let each other go? I get it now, so I won't bother you anymore. Don't feel sorry or shy around me. It's safe to say that I have other options."

He sounds cool, but he feels down. However, on the bright side, since Rex won't be around for at least six months, he gets to be one protecting her from getting hurt.

"Ryan, thank you."

Ryan just lifts his chin and replies, "Go."

The car door opens and then closes, and his passenger disappears from sight. Looking at the empty leather seat, he lights up the cigarette that he has thrown away again. The sound of it burning resembles that of his scorched heart as it sizzles and turns to ashes.

...

What happened to Lily is soon made known to Rex. He has just finished his hemodialysis, and the red dots all over him, which are the symptoms of the treatment, are still visible,.

He is grieved at what has happened to Lily, only feeling relieved when he learns that Ryan’s men came to her rescue.

Strong feelings overwhelm him. Sarcastically, he is no longer a part of her life, but a bystander.

The ward falls silent. A subordinate comes to report, but notices his morose expression. With butterflies in his stomach, the gofer knocks off a medicine bottle on the table with a crash.

He hastily picks it up and bends down, apologizing, "Sorry, Mr. Rex."

Sweat oozes from the poor man's forehead, but Rex casually waves his hand and says, "You can go."

"Yes."
