Let's Get Married novel Chapter 503

Lily coughs lightly to hide her uneasiness and changes the topic, "Adair will be back soon. I promised him we would pick him up at the airport."

This morning, Ryan texted her that they would arrive in J City the night after tomorrow.

Rex thinks of his son and his expression softens a little. "Alright. I made a promise to pick him up long ago. I can finally fulfill it."

Lily remembers the way Adair asked for his dad, and unknowingly smiles. "True. If you don't do that, he will resent you for it."

"When the time comes, I will repay him with snacks, like ice-cream, or take him to amusement parks. Whatever he wants."

As they speak, the elevator arrives. Bree is feeding water to Harry as they carry the food into the ward. Bree is a little surprised to see them. "Isn't the cafeteria crowded? How come you are back so soon?"

Rex places the tonic soup on the table. As soon as he unscrews the lid of the thermos, a pungent fragrance pervades the ward. It doesn't smell like the seasoning, but the ingredients themselves.

"You need to eat something nutritive to recover faster. The cafeteria food can't provide you with enough nutrition. I ordered some tonic soup," Rex says calmly as he hands a bowl of soup to Bree.

"You didn't need to do this. Hospital food is fine." Bree takes it and feels touched.

Rex seems to be so unapproachable. She had no idea he could be so thoughtful.

Harry recovers well. There is no need to insert him the esophagus, so he doesn't suffer much. Bree blows every spoonful to cool it down a bit. Lily wipes his mouth from time to time to prevent the soup from flowing onto his neck.

"Mom, rest after dinner. Rex and I will stay here and watch him." After Harry has dinner, Lily offers to help, afraid that Bree will tire herself out since she is no longer young.

"You don't have to worry about me. There's a bed for me. Besides, a caretaker will come. I will be fine." Bree quickly waves her hand.

"But...."

Bree interrupts her, "No buts. I will worry more if I am not here with him. You are exhausted. Take a little nap in the room next door. I will shout if anything happens."

Lily wants to argue, but Rex grabs her hand and says first, "Bree, just ring the bell. We will be next door."

"Perfect."

After they have a simple meal, the nurse cleans it up. Rex sees that Bree has something to say to Lily, so he excuses himself.

The family of three remain in the ward. Bree looks at Harry who is awake lying in bed and sighs softly, "Harry, sleep if you feel like it."

Harry rolls his eyes, wanting to say something. Bree leans over and says, "What is it?"

"Rex, Rex paid for this meal?" Harry stammers.

Bree nods and replies, "Yes. He thought the cafeteria food wasn't nutritious. He wanted you to eat better."

Then she mutters to herself, "I don't know when he ordered it. How considerate of him!"

"Mom, he just wanted to help." Fearing that this favor might burden Bree, Lily quickly comforts her.

"Actually, he has been helping us out a lot. During the five years when you were missing, he kept sending things to your father and me. However, your father and I vented our anger on him because we didn't know if you were alive. He didn't blame us for that. Now, I can see our mistakes."

"Mom," Lily frowns and interrupts her. She doesn't want to hear her mother say that. "Rex has never complained to me about you guys. He never took it to heart."
