Let's Get Married novel Chapter 485

“Did he say that?” Karl puts his hands on his knees and looks at the haggard Lily, pushing the hot tea on the table over. “I called him yesterday, but he didn’t answer. He hasn’t contacted me since then. He probably won’t come back until he succeeds.”

It is hard to imagine that Rex would tell Lily not to wait for him since he desires her so much.

Lily is expressionless. After Rex left yesterday, she cried hard. It is worse than all the other episodes. His leaving her because of his sickness makes her heart bleed. She would prefer him leaving for any other reasons.

“I know you’re upset now. He did all this for you and your child. He must be more upset than any of us.” Karl knows that nothing can comfort Lily now, but he wants to say something.

Lily chuckles and shakes her head. “I don’t have any hopes right now. I just wish that he can recover quickly. When I think about how he must be suffering in that place, I will....”

She chokes as she speaks. When the worries that she has bottled up are mentioned, she would burst into tears.

“Do you want to see him?” Karl asks tentatively. They have the address where Rex is being treated. Not to mention he and Rex have the same profession. At the very least, Pehry can find him.

“No.” Lily refuses without hesitation. She has thought about this countless times last night, and now she has gotten over it. “Since he feels that leaving is the best option, I respect his choice. If I go to see him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”

Karl is a little surprised that she would say such a thing. He knows she is reasonable, but he just finds out that she is decisive.

“Alright, just let me know when you want to see him.”

…

After arriving at Lee’s clinic, Rex is admitted to a prepared ward. He has a full body check-up, and the numbers are more accurate than last time. Even the content of the drugs in his blood is clear.

Lee tells him about the first treatment plan with the test results, “First, we will cut off the supplementary drugs that Karl’s Hospital has prescribed for you. Although it can relieve the pain, you are not at home anymore. They are not good for you.”

Rex does not have any objections, “Alright.”

“But at the beginning, your body will definitely react to it. There will be some clinical symptoms. You need to be mentally prepared,” Lee tells him everything.

“It doesn’t matter if it hurts. As long as I can get rid of the addiction quickly.” Rex does not even frown. If he wants a good result, he has to pay a price. He has thought of that.

Lee’s expression changes slightly but then he quickly hides it. He thinks Rex didn’t notice it, but the truth turns out to be different.

“Tell me what is on your mind.” Rex notices Lee’s hesitation.

Lee thinks for a moment and casts him a meaningful look. “Actually, there’s another way....”

Rex looks up slowly, raising his eyebrows, his black eyes sharp.

“To change your blood.” Simple words. But the expression Lee wears is solemn.

A doctor, even an average one, wouldn’t use such a method. The technology being one problem, the approach alone is not advisable.

However, in case any surprises would arise, Lee has to prepare an alternative for Rex.

It is the first time Karl has mentioned this method, so it must be a desperate one.

“Blood exchange?” Rex knits his eyebrows, not having a clue.
