Let's Get Married

Lee specifically pulls up the results sheet Rex sent over, marking it with his mouse. “The indicators are hugely different from the Karl’s Hospital’s. Rex, I don’t know what they’ve told you, but in my opinion, your body is not just in rejection during recovery. There are residual inhibitors in your system. They are specifically targeted at addictive withdrawal and are not available on the market.” Then Lee shifts his gaze to the man’s face. “Are you having strong symptoms?”

Rex’s heart has sunk to the bottom. He gently closes his eyes and thinks of his recently uncontrollable body, finally understanding what is going on and saying in a hoarse voice, “I am.”

Although Lee can’t bear to see Rex like this, he still has to tell him everything about his illness, “This medicine is used as an adjuvant during withdrawal from addiction. It can make sure that you won’t be in fatal danger, but its high concentration also suggests that you have a big addiction problem.”

Rex’s eyes are pitch-dark. “What about my chance of withdrawal? Is it big?”

Lee adjusts his glasses and says, “Fifty percent.”

Today, Rex finally knows the truth that Lily and Karl are hiding.

Fifty percent.

His lips curl into a bitter smile. This means that he can recover, but he is also very likely to be tormented by addiction.

He remembers clearly the feeling of losing control when the addiction hits him. It is not as simple as what Karl has said, and Lily knows about it.

“If I reach the late stage, what symptoms will I have?” The man’s voice is like it has been polished by gravel, so hoarse that it sounds uncomfortable.

“All sorts of symptoms, and the clinical reactions you are experiencing will continue to worsen, probably affecting your mind.”

Affecting the mind.

Rex closes his eyes. “Will I hurt her?”

“When your mind is seriously affected....” Lee pauses for a moment before continuing, “Yes.”

Such a result is undoubtedly cruel. Although Rex has noticed that Karl and Lily were behaving strangely, this is simply beyond his imagination.
