Let's Get Married novel Chapter 498

The plan for Harry's operation has been made, but Lily doesn't feel relaxed. Instead, she is tense. After dinner with Bree in the hospital at night, she goes to the rooftop of the hospital alone after her parents fall asleep.

In fact, she is not allowed to be there at this time. But she gets permission from Karl, and manages to get in after registering her fingerprint, closing the door again behind her. There is a fence around the rooftop. She walks to the edge and looks down at the city below, numerous lights gleaming against the dark night. Suddenly, a feeling of chilliness rushes from her soles to her entire body.

Above her is the immense inky sky, and she feels like a drop in the ocean. Harry is going to have surgery tomorrow. With Karl and Reynold operating on him, she shouldn't be worrying too much, but she just can't stop panicking....

Lily slightly straightens her back and takes half a step back to sit on the stairs. The breeze dries her eyes. Her disguise of being strong crumbles away in this secluded rooftop.

Too many unexpected things have happened recently, which agitates her even more than when she was in England years back. She can't control her thoughts. Tears keep welling up in her eyes. She has kept the fear and weakness deep inside. She hates herself like this, but she can't shake it off.

Bending down and staring at the ground, she hugs her knees with both hands and curls up in this corner. Lost in thought, she does not hear the door opening behind her. A black shadow makes the night even darker, and she petrifies with shock.

The shadow is elongated by the moonlight, covering her body and the concrete floor. Her heartbeat suddenly goes out of order. Just this silhouette has awakened all her senses.

It feels too familiar. She can sense his aura without looking up.

Holding her breath, she listens until a gravelly male voice comes from above her,

"Get up. Stop crying."

Lily seems to have been activated like a robot. Hastily looking up, she catches sight of the face that has been forever engraved in her heart, and it has appeared in her dreams countless times in the past six months....

"R, Rex?" She uses all her strength to call out his name, her voice trembling.

She widens her eyes in disbelief, staring at the person in front of her without blinking, afraid that he would disappear in the next second.

"It's me." He squats down and looks at her, raising his hand to wipe her tears. "I'm back."

He has lost a lot of weight. His outstanding facial features are now even more eye-catching, his cheekbones and jaws more obvious. His eyes are not as sharp as they used to be, but suggest exhaustion from the sickness.

Although they are still bright, Lily can feel the toll of the treatment.

However, none of that matters anymore. He is back. The man, whom she has never stopped missing, is finally in front of her eyes.

His simple answer is enough to make Lily sob. She cries so hard that her eyes and head hurt. She wants nothing but to feel his warmth by throwing herself into his embrace.

She is like a fish stranded on a beach in the blazing sun, and is rescued by a tide before its last breath. She is hysterical.

Rex allows her tears to wet his shirt, wrapping his arms around her thin and trembling shoulders. He does not say anything to comfort her. They just need to feel each other quietly at this moment.

The breeze dries her tears and chills her heart. Today, he got the final results. When he sees that all the indicators are normal, he wants nothing but to find her immediately. He has been getting the news about her through his subordinates, and every time he just longed to hug her in his arms.

Lily cries for a long time, blowing off all the steam over these months. Then she complains while sobbing, "What took you so long? Do you know how much I miss you and worry about you every day?"
