Prev Chapter Next Chapter

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...."

"Your father and I want nothing but happiness for you. After the surgery, we will have nothing to worry
about." Then Bree's expression changes. "Your father has to get better quickly, otherwise he won't be
able to attend your wedding."

That means Rex is allowed to marry Lily. He is very grateful to Bree for her tolerance towards the bad
things that has happened around him.

"Don't worry. I won't let her down."

Bree turns around and wipes her tears. Then she starts smiling. "That's good. That's good!"

...

That night, Lily and Rex stay in the ward next door. There is no room for clothes in the bathroom, so
Lily brings them to Rex.

Lily puts on her cotton pajamas and opens the bathroom door a little. At first, she just wants to stretch
out a hand, but then she catches a glimpse of the deep and shallow wounds on his back.

Some of them are darker, and some are lighter. There are scars of old scars, like new wounds would
appear every day. His originally strong shoulders and muscles have disappeared, and even his
shoulder blades have slightly protruded. It is somewhat terrifying.

He has always been strict about his figure. Even when they first met, this man got up at six o'clock
every morning to exercise.

It is hard to imagine that such a scarred body belongs to Rex.

Lily sucks in a breath of cold air from the shock, and exclaiming, "Heavens...."



Staring at them, she can imagine how they were formed. She walks over and gently touches the
wounds, trying her best not to hurt him. "How can this be...."

Rex looks at the delicate figure behind him in the mirror, and turns around with a smile. "It doesn't
matter. It's all over."

Yes, the wounds have healed, but the pain he has suffered is still there.

Lily retracts her hand and covers her mouth, choking with sadness. She didn't want to harm him by
mentioning the past six months, but she can't help it anymore.

"Rex, what have you been through all this time? Can you tell me?"

Rex holds her in his arms and puts his chin on her head, closing his eyes slightly. "It's nothing joyful
and worth mentioning."

The woman in his arms falls silent, trembling violently. Her weep pounds his heart, stinging it. Holding
her tear-stained little face, he bends down to kiss the falling tears. However, the moment he touches
her skin, his intention is not that simple anymore. His somber passion is ignited. Now he can't help but
want more.

It is desire, but that's not all. It is more like an instinct.

The two injured beasts are comforting each other in this most direct way.

Lily is stunned for a moment. Then her instinct is awakened, too. She approaches him and wraps her
arms around his neck, kissing him back fervently.

The lights in the bathroom are turned off somehow. From the shower to the bedside, they kiss in the
dim ward. The air seems to be burning, baking their close bodies.
