Let's Get Married novel Chapter 492

Her sudden action has frightened the child. Only then does Lily regain her senses, she comforts Adair, "It's fine."

When she looks back, the black car is nowhere to be seen.

Feeling responsible to lend a hand, the security guard runs over and asks, "Miss Lily, is there something wrong with your car?"

Lily lowers the window and replies, "It's nothing. The engine was down."

"Okay."

Frowning, she starts the car again. Irritated, she wonders if she misses that man so much that she thinks it was him.

The thought amuses her. How can it be him? He is receiving treatment, right?

These three months should be of help. Truth be told, she has done half the waiting. The finish line is in sight.

...

Rex sits in the car, his body stiff, because he nearly got caught. Flustered, he pictures how embarrassing it would be if she finds out about this.

The driver sees his tense expression through the rearview mirror and asks respectfully, "Mr. Rex, do you want to go back to Dr. Lee's?"

After a moment of silence, Rex answers, "Yes."

The driver heaves a sigh of relief. Dr. Lee has specifically instructed him to drive back when the time is up, while he is in no position to make that decision. Fortunately, things don't go awry.

The driver drives fast. They manage to arrive at the research institute before 7:30. Rex gets off and enters the building, whereas the driver doesn't follow. Striding into the ward, Rex feels overwhelmingly irritated.

His limbs are on fire, blood and bones seeming to be draining away from him. It is all too familiar—an addiction attack is striking.

The acute pain bends him down. He screams with his arms around his head, "Jesus!"

The cry has to come out. Rex has lost the strength to support himself, and is drawn to the ground, huddling like a bow.

The paramedics outside walk in with tranquilizers upon hearing his shout. Lee is the first to open the door. He sees Rex suffering on the ground and quickly squats down to give him a shot.

The stinging pain of the cold needle drowns Rex in endless agony. He is annoyed by the hands that are touching him and pushes Lee away with his remaining strength.

Having lost his balance, Lee falls backwards, and is lucky enough to be caught by other doctors.

"Lee, are you alright?"

Lee quickly shakes his head, undisturbed. "I am fine. Please give us a few minutes alone."

"But...."

"It's fine. There's nothing to worry about." Lee interrupts him, knowing what he is going to say, "You can go now."

Footsteps and the sound of the door being opened and shut sporadically sound from behind. After that, it is silence between the two.
