Let's Get Married

Mr. Adonis almost has no strength left. Injected so many painkillers, his body is nearly numb. However, he manages to hold Rex's hand. "Now that you have Lily and Adair, I don't need to worry anymore. You should take care of yourself and treat them well. They are people by your side for the rest of your life, understand?"

It sounds like his last words. Rex is too sad to listen to him.

"Come on. You still have a lot of time."

Mr. Adonis forces a smile, "Right. I will see Adair become a young man. I want to hear him calling me great grandfather for a few more years!"

It's rare for them to stay together, so Mr. Adonis tells him a lot of things about the past and present, some of which Rex knows, and some he doesn't. Rex has never been so close to him.

He starts to understand the sufferings of the previous generation and gets to know how Mr. Adonis made it through.

Mr. Adonis is in high spirits when they are chatting. At least his voice is stable. Rex thinks that he will make through the evening. However, he doesn't know that Mr. Adonis’ heart aches as he speaks.

At 2:30 in the morning, Rex lies on the couch beside the bed to rest for a while. Not long after he closes his eyes, he suddenly hears a harsh sound from the machine above his head.

He is awakened. He gets up and walks to it. It's a machine that measures Mr. Adonis' heartbeat and blood pressure. The line on the screen, which should be fluctuant, is turning straight.

He knows what it means, so he immediately presses the emergency button at the bedside.

Within half a minute, the door is pushed open. A group of nurses in blue aseptic suits and doctors in white coats rush into the room.

Rex is pushed away the bed. He wants to get closer but is stopped.

"Family goes out please. The patient is in danger and needs emergency treatment!" A doctor stops him and then starts to save Mr. Adonis.
