Let's Get Married

Lily doesn't expect that her words would cause such a dramatic reaction. Dumbfounded, she stutters, "I... I was just asking."

"Alright." The man's eyes are bright as he tells her frankly, "I am unhappy."

"Why?"

He is so close, and his eyes are so... affectionate. His words are perfectly normal, but they sound like sweet talk. Lily suddenly feels that the wound on her back is 'itching' again.

"Because I have to face the people who indirectly hurt you again." Thinking of Hawk and all the frightening things that have happened in the past half a month, Rex turns cold.

Lily has never seen such a sharp gaze from him before. She says somewhat uncomfortably, "Can you sit down and talk? I'm so tired and a little out of breath."

Seeing her dodging gaze, Rex finally stands up and sits down on a chair beside her. Watching her pale face and dry lips, he still has a lingering fear of what has happened half a month ago.

"Tell me how I got injured," after pondering for a moment, Lily opens her mouth and asks. Ever since she woke up, no one has talked anything about her illness. She knows that if she wants the truth, she could only ask Rex. But she was not ready for it. But now, facing his serious and frightening expression, she feels it necessary for her to know.

"Half a month ago, you were kidnapped by people from Country Y. The person who kidnapped you is the main culprit in one of my cases." Rex speaks slowly, trying to explain the process in a more acceptable way. "They've held you hostage for nearly half a month. During which, you suffered a lot. Later on, we managed to find their base, but an explosion happened unexpectedly. That's why you are so seriously injured."

Lily listens quietly and asks, "Isn't the one looking for you just now a police officer? Why are you still unhappy?"

Shouldn't they be working together?

When it comes to the captain, Rex seems to have mixed feelings. He lowers his head slightly and the hair on his forehead hides half of his eyebrows. "Before he left for the mission, he promised me to protect you and have you return safely. However, when the incident happened, he didn't do so. Instead, he put you in danger. I understand his decision, but I can't forgive him."
