Let's Get Married

Lily can clearly feel that something is wrong with Rex. It is as if he has completely sealed himself in another world. All of his thoughts and feelings remain in that world. He can't stop regretting—even regretting what he had done back then.

"It's not like that. Rex, you've already done enough. If I were you, I wouldn't know how to face my family. We all only live once. No one can live forever. Reality is cruel, but you have to accept it." She hugs him tightly, trying to pull him out of the abyss of self-blame. She adds, "Adonis’ death has nothing to do with you. He is sick. What you need to do is to stay with him and walk him through the last journey of his life. You've done nothing wrong. Adonis is proud of you, and he understands you. If you don't want him to have any regrets in his last days, please stop acting this way!"

Rex listens. Light appears in his glassy eyes again. He mutters to himself, rather than asks Lily, "Seeing me like this will only trouble him more..."

"That's right. You have to cheer up and be the grandson that he is proud of again. Only then can he leave more calmly, rather than full of regrets."

Rex looks out of the window at the lights in the distance. Clusters of bright lights turn into blurry flowers in his misty eyes. Red, green, yellow... They sting his eyes, but also illuminate his heart.

That's right. What's done cannot be undone. He can't be selfish anymore. Adonis should leave this world peacefully, and he'll see to that. If he can't even make sure of this one thing, he doesn't even deserve to be sad.

Lily's words seem to have pulled Rex out of the deep seabed where there is nothing but darkness. He wakes up. Only then does he feel a little cold from the wind blowing outside the window.

Just now, he didn't even feel all of this from the outside world. He only felt his heart filled with self-blame and guilt.

He straightens up again and turns around to look at the woman standing behind him. It is already late at night, and Lily's face is full of exhaustion. He has been suffering these days, and Lily is no better than him. She's always by his side, yet at the same time, she still has to take care of Adair. It's obvious that she has lost a lot of weight.

Rex raises his hand painfully to touch the dark shadows under her eyes. He rolls his apple before saying, "I'm sorry. You must have suffered with me a lot these days."
