Let's Get Married novel Chapter 477

Lily shakes her head. “I’m fine. How do you feel?”

Rex tightly purses his thin lips. The sweat on his forehead flows down his face. He takes a deep look at his hands and says, “I’m okay. Sorry. You must be scared.”

Lily doesn’t say anything. She’s scared, indeed. However, it isn’t because he hurt her, but because something unexpected might happen to him in such a situation.

Spasms, intermittent convulsions, weakness, and shortness of breath ... Such symptoms are much severer than she has imagined.

She’s even more uncertain about what Rex might suffer later. It’s the first stage of addiction after withdrawal, but he suffered such great pain. What if later ...

After the indescribable feeling fades away, Rex tries to stand up. His limbs are still weak, but he barely supports himself to stand up.

Lily wants to help him, but he dodges. “It’s nothing.”

From his cold voice, Lily knows he must be enduring great pain. Rex tries to support his body and doesn’t want Lily to see him in such a weak state.

However, it’s impossible for Lily to do what he wants at this moment. Regardless of his refusal, she stretches her arms and hugs him. In this way, Rex could find a point to support his body.

The man in her arms tenses up. Then his suppressed voice comes from above her head. “Lily, I’m fine.”

‘I’m fine. I don’t need my woman to be so worried.’

“I knew. I knew,” says Lily, but she doesn’t let go of him and keeps stroking his back. “We knew this would happen, didn’t we? I’m not scared at all. I’m just worried about you. Let me take care of you, okay?”

Her voice is very soft. Her movements are exceptionally gentle. She patiently and considerately cares about this man.

Rex feels his uneasiness rising and falling. Such terrible feelings are hidden in his body but he finds no way to vent them. He clenches his hands for a long time before squeezing out a sentence. “You go out first and I’ll take a shower.”

He still wants to take a shower. Seeing it, Lily frowns and says, “Don’t do it. Why not take a shower tomorrow?”

“Just a shower. It doesn’t take much time.”

“But ...”

“I’m not that useless.” He curls his lips, but the curve of his lips doesn’t reveal any easiness.

Lily is worried that she would hurt his self-esteem, so she doesn’t insist. “Alright then. Hurry up. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Lily walks out of the bathroom. After half a minute, she hears water. Then she takes the phone at the bedside and goes to the farthest corner from the bathroom to dial Karl’s number.

Not long after, the phone is picked up. “Hello, Lily?”

“Karl.” As soon as Lily says a word, she almost cries. Only she and Karl know about Rex’s situation, so Karl is the only person that she could discuss with. “Rex had withdrawal symptoms just now, but it was very severe. He looked particularly painful. What should I do?”

At the other side, Karl swiftly turns the steering wheel. The car is hurriedly parked at the side of the road. “Don’t panic. Tell me what symptoms he had.”

“He sweat a lot and trembled non-stop. He unconsciously drooled. He seemed to be very cold, but at times very hot. I don’t know. He breathed very fast, but he looked suffocated.” Lily doesn’t know what she is saying now. She feels a lingering fear when recalling what has just happened.

Karl carefully remembers every word she is saying. When listening, his expression becomes more serious. Rex’s first withdrawal symptom is more serious than he has imagined. This is not good news.

Thinking of the pain that Rex endured, Karl couldn’t help but curse in his heart. Vivian must have used a high dose!

He suddenly speaks in such a cold voice. Lily is puzzled and asks, “What?”

They look into each other’s eyes. All of Lily’s emotions are written in her eyes. When Rex looks into her eyes, she feels she is stripped of her clothes and is examined by this man. All her thoughts are known by him.

Rex pauses for a moment and bends down slightly. His gaze falls on the corner of her scabbed lips. His Adam’s apple rolls, as if he wants to say something, but he keeps silent. He only lightly kisses her, strokes her, and licks the wound which was made by him.

Lily’s eyelashes tremble slightly. She could feel his tenderness. It’s completely different from when he was dominated by addiction. Although he doesn’t say anything, Lily could feel his regret and heartache.

Lily opens her mouth and responds. They don’t kiss intensely, but feel each other gently. After a while, she stands on tiptoe and stretches her arms to wrap around Rex’s neck.

The man quickly wraps his arms around her waist and strokes her back with his big palm. “Don’t be afraid. It will be fine.”

Lily nods in his arms and encourages herself that everything would be fine.

The next morning, Lily starts to add the medicines that Karl gave her to help Rex withdraw the addiction. No matter how strong Rex’s willpower is, he’s a human. The addiction is a physiological reaction. He must endure great pain when fighting the addiction.

In order to reduce his pain, Lily asks Fanny not to consider her taste and to make the food as nourishing as possible.

Rex knows everything she has done for him. Her care that permeates his life makes Rex love her more.

Despite everything that Lily has prepared, the withdrawal pain doesn’t let Rex off.

As Karl said, after that night, the withdrawal symptoms come more frequently and seriously. Fortunately, Lily accompanies him every time.

However, things are still going in an unexpected direction. One day, Fraser calls Lily from the company with an unprecedented anxiety in his voice, which makes her heart sink to the bottom.
