Let's Get Married novel Chapter 408

When Rex arrives, Lily just finished the first intravenous drip, and a nurse is replacing it with another one.

Lily is still asleep, with only Abby by her side waiting. It's very crowded in the emergency ward, so not a single vacancy is available.

Rex’s eyes lay on Lily’s pale little face. He feels like his legs were filled with lead, and even though he wants to walk to her, he can’t move his legs.

“Nurse, when will she wake up?” Abby is so concerned that she asks every now and then.

“When her fever is gone. Now her temperature is still too high and up to 42℃. She won’t be able to think straight. It’s better that she is asleep.”

“OK, thank you.” Abby turns to the nurse and thanks her, during which she glances at the tall figure standing behind her.

He is too conspicuous to not be noticed.

Abby is slightly stunned. Judging from his white sweater and slippers, she knows that he came straight here from home and didn’t even have time to change his shoes.

But it doesn’t matter how much he cares about Lily. If he was the one to blame for Lily’s illness, she would make sure he paid the price.

While thinking this, Abby walks towards Rex and questions him with a tough voice, “Were you with Lily last night?”

Rex’s adam's apple bobs twice in his throat, and he answers heavily, “Yes.”

“Did you know she was drugged?”

“No, I didn’t.”

Hearing the answer, the fire in Abby’s heart gets weaker. It would be unforgivable if he did know.

“What happened last night? Did you notice she was drugged?”

Rex recalls what happened last night. He saw that scene right after he walked out of the private room and was infuriated. He didn’t have time to think about the whole thing and just had a presumption before dragging her out of the bar. She said nothing and made no explanation, only telling him that she wanted to see Adair. He got angrier and couldn’t even think.

He won’t deny that there was a moment when he wanted nothing to do with her anymore, so he just left her there alone. But finally, he couldn’t do it and asked Pehry to take her back safely.

He is a man with dignity too. It’s not about vanity. She doesn’t love him, so she would rather do that with other people instead of asking him for help. This is what hurts him.

However, he ignored her physical condition. Now that he is thinking about what happened, he finds out that she was indeed acting abnormally last night. It wasn’t only because she was shocked, it was also the result of normal physiological reaction.

All of a sudden, Rex doesn’t know what to do. She was so sick but still was restraining herself from asking him for help. So, how much does she distrust him?

But however angry he is, when he sees her lying on the bed with a pale face, all his grievance is gone.

Watching him keep silent, Abby is still scared when thinking about what happened this morning, “Yesterday when Lily arrived home, she passed out. But then she woke up after a short while. She didn’t want to go to the hospital, so I kept her company in the bedroom. This morning when she woke up, her body temperature went as high as 42℃. She must be feeling sick before coming back last night. How can someone as feeble as she bears so much pain?”

Rex listens to Abby and feels his heart breaking.

If he had paid more attention to her yesterday, she wouldn’t be like this now.

It is 42℃. He can’t even imagine how much she has suffered.
