Chapter 249: Staying Downstairs All Night


    Lily is terribly panicked and immediately pulls the curtain down deadly. At the thought of him being


    downstairs, her heart beats quickly. She is very nervous and there are some ambiguous feelings in it.


    She walks over to the bed to sit down, and coincidentally, the phone that is thrown on the bed rings. By


    clicking on it, it is Rex—


    ‘I’m not joking with you about what I said. Think about it carefully, then tell me the answer.’


    Lily really wants to send him a refusal word right now. But after several attempts, her fingers on the


    screen still fail to press on it. Rex has never been a soft-hearted person. His style of doing things has


    always been in the strictest enforcement. Even though it seems that there are some dictatorships in


    dealing with some issues, it is precisely because of this that he has such a strong leadership posture.


    If this text message does not indicate his phone number, she will never believe that it is sent by Rex.


    But it turns out that it is indeed sent by him personally.


    In order to retain her, he has used both hard and soft tactics and he has never been more humble like


    this. It’s not like Lily is not touched, but when thinking of Marina, it’s like a fish-bone stuck in her throat.


    She cares because she loves this man so much, she minds whether he belongs only to herself, she


    cares everything about him.


    Just when she is out of her sense, her phone vibrates again—


    ‘I won’t let Marina disturb our life again, as long as you cane back.’


    If this sentence is put before this matter, she will agree without hesitation. However now, it is inevitable


    to scruple more. She is afraid that she will repeat the same mistake if she is not cautious; She is not a


    purely emotional person but she has experienced so much that makes her extra cautious.


    After a short pause, Lily’s fingertipsnd on the screen and type a line: I will consider it.


    Click, send.


    The screen of the phone dims as time passes. The man does not reply. Lily turns off the light and


    quietly approaches the side of the window. Downstairs, the car stays still.


    She sits back on the bed and lies on her back. Her head is very chaotic with various kinds of thoughts.


    While thinking about it, she eventually falls asleep. She has a dream with Rex, Marina and herself. In


    her dream, they travel together and encounter danger; Rex drags Marina away, leaving her alone in


    danger…


    However, at this moment, a very familiar face appears in the dream, Ryan. The man seems to be fallen


    from the sky and stands in front of her, then reaches out to her…


    “Ah!” Lily sits up from the bed violently, sweating all over her head. The sky is already bright outside the


    window, the sun rises. She can vaguely hear the sound of car bray and people bustling downstairs.


    Lily sits quietly for a moment and raises her hand to wipe the sweat on her head; She is a little short of


    breath, fortunately, it is only a dream.


    But soon, she frowns, wondering why she dreams of Ryan. Perhaps, the encounters these days she


    went through are too bizarre, which are deep in her memory.


    “Lily, are you awake?” Bree knocks from the outside of the door.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Lily lifts her quilt and puts on her shoes before getting out of the bed, then walks to the door and pulls


    the door open, “Yes, what’s up, Mom?”


    “About your father’stely operation. I’ve asked Aunty Vicky, she said that part of th fee can be


    reimbursed but the medical record and the total bill of payment needed to be printed from the hospital.


    If you’re free today, take care of it. Your father and I will go to the insurance office to ask.”


    After resigned, Lily has nothing to do either. She then nods, “Okay.”


    “You’re not looking well, why don’t you rest for a while?”


    “It’s because I’ve just woken up, don’t worry, Mom.”


    “Okay, then get ready ande out to eat.”


    After Bree left, Lily closes the door, then dresses and washes up. Her hair is tied into a bun, which is


    neat and clean. After everything is done, she pulls the curtain away and subconsciously looks at the


    ce where the car stoppedst night. The car has already gone.


    She feels a bit depressed. She forces herself to withdraw her eyes, not daring to think too much.
