Let's Get Married novel Chapter 499

They sit on the rooftop feeling the breeze for some time. When they both calm down, they return to Harry's ward.

Bree is a light sleeper due to her age, and she is even startled by their soft movements.

"Lily?" Bree is still a little sleepy when she sees a black figure walking over.

Lily is slightly surprised. "Mom, did we wake you?"

"What time is it? Why are you back so late?" Bree picks up the watch beside her and checks the time. It is almost dawn.

As she speaks, she looks up, only to discover that behind Lily is an indistinct figure. "Who is this?"

Rex walks out from behind and holds Lily's tense small hand. "Bree, it's me. Rex."

The air feels still from that answer. Rex also holds back his breath a little, feeling nervous under the gaze of an elder.

After a long time, Bree walks over to them and says in a low voice, "Let's go out and talk. Don't disturb your dad."

The three of them walk to the end of the corridor. The unique incandescent light shines above them, which renders Rex's face even paler.

Noticing how weak Rex is, Bree doesn't have the heart to blame him. The atmosphere is solemn. Lily speaks first, "Mom, Rex has been under treatment for the past six months, because he got addicted after rescuing Adair from that kidnapping. However, he's almost cured now. There's no need to worry."

Bree has heard her say this before, but she didn't know the specifics. Now that notion is materialized when she sees how gaunt Rex is.

He must have been having a hard time.

Rex got addicted because of Adair. But as a mother, Bree can imagine what her daughter must have been through over the years, so she naturally has a grudge against Rex. Nevertheless, she understands now how Rex has suffered more than Lily.

It has been a bumpy road for both of them. Rex and Lily have experienced so much hardship than anyone can fathom. Bree feels she is in no position to judge Rex.

It is a blessing that they have made it this far.

Bree frowns slightly, not wanting to say more, only asking softly, "What are your plans next?"

Lily freezes, obviously having not thought about this question. However, Rex answers without hesitation, "We should focus on Harry right now. When he gets better, I'm going to give Lily a proper wedding."

He never brought this up before. Lily thought that it was inappropriate to mention it at this juncture, but he said it anyway.

Bree's eyes reveal joy. Stressed by recent events, she is gratified to hear that.

She sighs softly before saying, "You haven't left each other no matter what happened all these years. I understand now. Perhaps you are the right ones for each other, and none can separate you. Since this is the case, you should cherish each other and swear to never leave again."

Lily thought Bree would be dissatisfied with Rex and is surprised by her response. For a moment, Lily feels something in her chest, and a warm stream of heat surges into her heart and gathers in her eyes. She can't hide her excitement. "Mom...."
