Let's Get Married

Lily is puzzled, taking the file. But when she opens it and sees the large words, she freezes.

It says “Test Results”. Below the title are detailed values and indexes. She knows full well what this means. Her face turns pale. Closing the file, she places it on the shoe cabinet beside her, forcing a smile. “Didn’t you say you were going to find Orson? Why did you give me this? Do you think the previous examination is not thorough? If you’re worried, we can go there another day....”

“Lily,” the man interrupts her and says the words she fears the most, “I’ve known.”

Know? Know what?

Suddenly, she feels a “blow” on the head. It hurts and she gets a little dizzy, but she tries her best to continue, “What are you talking about? We’ve talked about your conditions. Don’t you trust Karl? Fanny has made dinner. Adair says he’s hungry. Let’s eat....”

Rex looks at her big eyes that are filled with panic which shouldn’t be there.

The large living room is quiet. After a while, the man lifts her chin with his warm fingertips, his voice soft, “Has anyone told you that you are a terrible liar?”

“…”

“Don’t lie to me, and don’t hide anything. I’ve known everything,” he repeats seriously, shattering her last shimmer of hope, “This is the correct report, right? You and Karl have been trying to hide the fact that my recovery won’t be easy, and that I’m addicted, with a 50% chance of failure of withdrawal.”

Every word he says sounds like torture to Lily.

As if choked, she fails to tell him that he is not right.
