Let's Get Married novel Chapter 409

In the afternoon, Lily begins waking up slowly. By this time, the intravenous drips were all finished. She feels dizzy when opening her eyes, after which she turns sideways and sees Abby sitting beside.

“Abby...” She calls her in a pretty slight voice that almost can’t be heard.

Abby sees her hand moving and finds out she is awake, “Hey. How are you feeling? Are you feeling well?”

Lily thinks for several seconds and feels her whole body unwell, but she finally only says, “I am fine. I just want some water.”

“Water got cold. Rex just went to get some hot water. He will be back soon.”

Rex?

Hearing this name, Lily frowns and before she can say more things, she sees the man walking towards them from the door. He is carrying a pink thermal mug in his hand, which stands in sharp contrast to his image.

Seeing her awake, Rex is a bit shocked and then quickly walks towards her. Watching her shiny eyes, he bends over and lays his lips on her mouth, “I was so worried.”

Abby doesn’t even have time to turn away before “being forced” to witness this romantic kiss.

Lily doesn’t have time to escape the kiss either. She is just awake and everything is so fuzzy to her now. She looks confused and makes response in a slow way, “Why are you here?”

“I called you this morning, but no one answered. I asked Abby and knew you were in the hospital.” It seems that he has a lot to say, and there is hesitation and struggle in his eyes. But at the end, he only asks, “Why didn’t you tell me you were suffering last night?”

Looking down, Lily thinks about last night and doesn’t want to face him.

Seeing Lily in silence, Abby is afraid that they will stop talking again or even turn against each other. But to her surprise, Rex is not getting impatient at all. Instead, he mentions Adair first of all and in a nice way.

“I called Fanny back the day before yesterday. When Adair is home by himself, Fanny can look after him. She is more elderly and therefore has more experience. You don’t need to worry about so much.”

Hearing him talking about Adair, Lily looks at him again. She didn’t expect he would call Fanny back. Now she feels more relieved, but still, she feels like she is the one to blame. She asks, “Adair...Does he miss me?”

“Yes.” He answers immediately, “He mentions you several times.”

Hearing this, Lily feels upset. On the one hand, she is touched by Adair’s missing her. On the other hand, she feels guilty. It is because she doesn’t have a settled home that Adair has to suffer with her.

Rex totally understands what she is thinking. He lays his big hand on her little sad face, and says before she attempts to avoid, “When your fever is gone and you feel well enough, I will bring you to see him.”

Hearing this, Lily freezes when trying to break away, for she is so shocked that she doubts that she misheard, “What did you say?”

“Don’t you want to see Adair?”

Yes, she does. She wants to see him so much. But she doesn’t understand why he agrees suddenly...

Out of surprise, Lily opens her eyes wide. She doesn’t care about her sore throat now and raises her voice, “You...you are willing to do that?”

Her eyes are full of doubt, which makes Rex feel upset. Maybe it is because he was to resistant to this idea before that she has no confidence in him now.

“You are his mother, why not?”

Lily’s eyes are fixated on the man’s eyes. She doesn’t believe Rex just said that. Since her return, they have been quarreling over Adair. She never expected that he would make such compromise.

Rex reaches to get the mug and put in a draw before handing it next to her mouth. Lily wants to avoid his hand unconsciously, but he stops her at the next second, “Drink some water. Don’t make me angry.”

What he said is kind of a threat, but he says it so softly. Therefore, it doesn’t sound repressive but is more like a demonstration of care.
