Let's Get Married novel Chapter 414

Lily can't remember how she fell asleep last night. She only remembers that after he said the last words, she began to cry silently while covering herself with the quilt. For fear of him witnessing her ordeal, she gradually fell asleep.

The next day when she wakes up, Lily's head is not covered by the quilt. There is no sign of Rex being present, so she sits up and puts on her shoes before going to the bathroom to wash up.

After ten minutes, just as Lily is ready to dry her face, the ward door is opened. In addition to the sound of footsteps, the smell of cooked rice reaches her nose.

Lily's stomach makes some noises. Today she feels like her fever has passed, which makes her appetite much better that the previous day. Seeing the steamed dumplings and rice porridge he is carrying in his hands, she feels very greedy.

Rex does not expect her to be awake already, and he enters the small bathroom. Following the same routine, he raises his hand to her forehead."Just the right temperature. Good. Come out and eat the breakfast."

After finishing the words, he turns around and leaves the bathroom first before putting the breakfast he'd brought from downstairs on the table.

Lily stands very still, seemingly still feeling the warmth of his palm on her forehead. She's familiar with his hands, which are dry and warm. The night before, while in a dazed sleep, she could sense the strength of him touching her forehead.

Is it possible that last night he didn't sleep soundly and had been worrying about her high fever?

Lily is sure that this isn't a fantasy. She just cannot remember how many times he'd gotten up.

Just as she tries to recollect the memories, she is called by Rex."After washing, come out quickly. The food won't be tasty when it's cold."

Lily bites her lip, and shakes her head, trying to shake of the mixed feelings she is having."I'm coming!"

Lily sits on a small chair opposite Rex. On the table there are different kinds of foods, such as rice porridge, eggs, pickles and steamed dumplings which look the tastiest.

She immediately takes one, and puts it in her mouth, completely filling it up so that she can barely close her mouth. It takes her a while to chew it before speak."It's so yummy."

Rex can see that she has a good appetite, and since she is enjoying her food, he knows that she is now much healthier. He then also grabs a steamed dumpling with his chopsticks and puts it in his mouth.

The moment he bites through the thin wrapper of the steamed dumpling, he feels the heavy scent of the broth of the dumpling filling in his mouth.

He'd especially asked the chef to reduce the salt and oil, making the taste a bit lighter than usual. This however did not harm its deliciousness.

Four plates of dumplings are finished in an instant. Lily has some of the rice porridge, but finds herself unable to finish it. She'd eaten too much, and feels her stomach full.

She looks down at her stomach and sees that it clearly bulges out."I feel like I'm pregnant." She says without thinking.

The whole situation reminds her of the time when she was pregnant with Adair. In the first two months nothing was yet visible, but then at the beginning of the third month, she started to see and feel her belly growing.

At first, she felt very uncomfortable. She had always felt that her waist was strange and abnormal. But after a long time, she got used to it.

Looking at her budging belly, she is speechless.

Watches her touch her stomach, Rex pictures her pregnant with Adair.

Undoubtedly, it must be hard and exhausting. And she must have suffered great pressure and fear.

Rex doesn't dare to think deeply about it, fearing that if he does, he won't be able to control himself and will shed tears. He dislikes himself so much for he has been sentimental recently.
