Let's Get Married novel Chapter 479

Lily’s heart skips a beat when she is asked. When she looks at Rex, her heart beats out of order, “Karl said before …”

As she speaks, she gazes away, afraid that Rex would see the panic in her eyes.

Rex raises his hand to pinch Lily’s cute chin. Being grabbed slightly, she can’t dodge anywhere. She has no choice but to look into his sharp black eyes. Lily tires her best to keep calm. However, he makes her too stressful now. She nearly wants to dodge his gaze.

Half a minute later, Lily feels uneasy under his gaze. She softly raises her hand to hold his palm. “Rex, what’s wrong?”

“Lily,” he suddenly calls her name. The pressure in his eyes makes the air around him thinner. “Are you hiding something from me?”

“No!” Lily denies without thinking. After that, she realizes that her attitude is too exaggerated, which might make Rex even more suspicious. She hurriedly calms her down. “What can I hide from you by staying at home with you every day?”

“What exactly is going on with my illness?” Rex keeps finding the underlying cause of it. The accidence in the conference room today makes him realize that things aren’t as simple as Lily and Karl said.

His body was out of the control of medicines. He was in an awkward state in front of the public and her. Occasionally, he even hurt her. Although it isn’t serious, it’s still a torment for Rex.

“It’s exactly what Karl said. Recovery requires a process. Later, your body might not bear the effects. Right now, you are in this stage, but it’s all normal. I understand that you’re in pain, but it really isn’t because of anything else,” Lily explains. She will never tell him that he is addicted. She knows that once Rex knows it, he must make an unexpected decision himself.

Rex looks at Lily’s pale face and sneers, “My body was out of control. Is it normal?”

Lily knows that he must have doubts to it. She wants to divert his attention, so she reaches out and grabs his big palm. She tilts forward slightly and raises her head towards Rex’s charming thin lips.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she approaches, Rex moves back his head to dodge her kiss.

Lily’s eyelashes tremble. She sees Rex’s dodge and thinks about how she has been afraid of being seen through by this man these past few days. She feels wronged. Tears quickly gather in her eyes. She lowers her head to retreat, but Rex holds her back.

Rex lowers his eyes and sees Lily’s red eyes. He instantly calms down and asks, “Why are you crying?”

“I’m not crying.”

He frowns and exposes her poor lie. “Look at your red eyes. Aren’t you crying?”

“… You don’t believe me.”

“I believe you.” He lowers his head and let her look into his eyes. “It’s just that my condition is too abnormal. I’m a little worried.”

“I asked Karl. He said all the symptoms are normal. I won’t joke about your health.” She raises her sparkling eyes to look at him. Her dark pupils are so pure that it’s like they are washed with water.

Lily cares much about his health. Although she never said, Rex knew it. He never doubts Lily. He is only doubtful of his own condition.

The vibe is somewhat gloomy. Right at this moment, the phone in Lily’s pocket rings.

The buzzing sound breaks the stagnation. Lily heaves a sigh of relief and is about to pick it up. However, when she takes it out of the pocket and sees the name on the screen, she is surprised. It is Karl.
