Chapter 409: Caring Out of Concern


    In the afternoon, Lily begins waking up slowly. By this time, the intravenous drips were all finished. She


    feels dizzy when opening her eyes, after which she turns sideways and sees Abby sitting beside.


    “Abby...” She calls her in a pretty slight voice that almost can’t be heard.


    Abby sees her hand moving and finds out she is awake, “Hey. How are you feeling? Are you feeling


    well?”


    Lily thinks for several seconds and feels her whole body unwell, but she finally only says, “I am fine. I


    just want some water.”


    “Water got cold. Rex just went to get some hot water. He will be back soon.”


    Rex?


    Hearing this name, Lily frowns and before she can say more things, she sees the man walking towards


    them from the door. He is carrying a pink thermal mug in his hand, which stands in sharp contrast to his


    image.


    Seeing her awake, Rex is a bit shocked and then quickly walks towards her. Watching her shiny eyes,


    he bends over andys his lips on her mouth, “I was so worried.”


    Abby doesn’t even have time to turn away before “being forced” to witness this romantic kiss.


    Lily doesn’t have time to escape the kiss either. She is just awake and everything is so fuzzy to her


    now. She looks confused and makes response in a slow way, “Why are you here?”


    “I called you this morning, but no one answered. I asked Abby and knew you were in the hospital.” It


    seems that he has a lot to say, and there is hesitation and struggle in his eyes. But at the end, he only


    asks, “Why didn’t you tell me you were sufferingst night?”


    Looking down, Lily thinks aboutst night and doesn’t want to face him.


    Seeing Lily in silence, Abby is afraid that they will stop talking again or even turn against each other.


    But to her surprise, Rex is not getting impatient at all. Instead, he mentions Adair first of all and in a


    nice way.


    “I called Fanny back the day before yesterday. When Adair is home by himself, Fanny can look after


    him. She is more elderly and therefore has more experience. You don’t need to worry about so much.”


    Hearing him talking about Adair, Lily looks at him again. She didn’t expect he would call Fanny back.


    Now she feels more relieved, but still, she feels like she is the one to me. She asks, “Adair...Does he


    miss me?”


    “Yes.” He answers immediately, “He mentions you several times.”


    Hearing this, Lily feels upset. On the one hand, she is touched by Adair’s missing her. On the other


    hand, she feels guilty. It is because she doesn’t have a settled home that Adair has to suffer with her.

    Rex totally understands what she is thinking. Heys his big hand on her little sad face, and says


    before she attempts to avoid, “When your fever is gone and you feel well enough, I will bring you to see


    him.”


    Hearing this, Lily freezes when trying to break away, for she is so shocked that she doubts that she


    misheard, “What did you say?”


    “Don’t you want to see Adair?”


    Yes, she does. She wants to see him so much. But she doesn’t understand why he agrees suddenly...


    Out of surprise, Lily opens her eyes wide. She doesn’t care about her sore throat now and raises her


    voice, “You...you are willing to do that?”


    Her eyes are full of doubt, which makes Rex feel upset. Maybe it is because he was to resistant to this


    idea before that she has no confidence in him now.


    “You are his mother, why not?”


    Lily’s eyes are fixated on the man’s eyes. She doesn’t believe Rex just said that. Since her return, they


    have been quarreling over Adair. She never expected that he would make suchpromise.


    Rex reaches to get the mug and put in a draw before handing it next to her mouth. Lily wants to avoid


    his hand unconsciously, but he stops her at the next second, “Drink some water. Don’t make me angry.”


    What he said is kind of a threat, but he says it so softly. Therefore, it doesn’t sound repressive but is


    more like a demonstration of care.


    Thinking about Adair, Lily doesn’t want more problems from him. Besides, she is truly thirsty, so she


    opens her mouth and drinks almost half of the water.


    Abby watches them from beside and feels happy for them from the bottom of her heart. It is so nice like


    this. They are so in love with each other, so if they can just both make somepromise and put


    everything overboard, all problems can be solved.


    The kid is the best bridge.


    Rex calls the doctor who thenes and gives Lily a temperature check. She still has a low fever of


    38.2℃. The doctor says, “I rmend you to stay in hospital for one more day in case the fever


    shoulde back at night and you couldn’t get timely medical treatment. Besides, your fever was too


    serious before, and you should get an overall body check tomorrow. If your body is found fully well


    tomorrow, you can be discharged then.”


    Rex is fine with the idea and takes the documents to go through the admission procedures at one of


    the designated windows.


    After he walks out of the emergency ward, Abbyes near Lily and whispers to her, “You got a fever,


    and Rex totally became another person.”


    Lily wonders why his attitude changes so much too. Is it because he feels sorry for her due to what


    happened to herst night?


    She is not sure.


    “Maybe it’s just for several days. Then he will be his old self again.”


    Hearing this, Abbyforts her, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Though Rex’s temper can be better, but he’s


    not someone who will break his promises.”


    Lily breathes a sigh and says, “I hope so.”


    Thedy on the next bed sees them muttering and can’t help but interjects, “Ms. Was that your


    boyfriend?”


    Lily blushes and wants to answer no, but then she thinks of their interaction before and just can’t open


    her mouth and deny.


    Seeing her hesitating and blushing, thedy keeps misunderstanding and thinks she is too shy to


    answer. Then she waves her hand and asks, “Are you in a rtionship now? Young men today don’t


    know how to cherish their girls. But your man is different!”


    Rex has been staying by her side since he came. Thedy saw everything and keeps saying, “When


    you were asleep, your boyfriend was worried sick. His eyes even got red. He cares about you so


    much.”


    Lily is a bit surprised and turns to Abby, with confusion full of her eyes.


    Abby waves her hand immediately, “I know nothing about it. I went out for a while.”


    “You should cherish such a man. He has good look and great temperament. When you were asleep, he


    kept looking after you. He must love you very much!”


    Lily doesn’t know what to say and just smiles back.


    But in her heart, something is emerging.


    She always thinks he is the one to me for what happenedst night. He wasn’t thinking for her at all.


    But now that she hears what thedy said, she thinks maybe she was wrong about him.


    After all, for a man like Rex, who knows how much emotion he keeps hidden under his calm face?


    After forty minutes, Rex finishes the admission procedures. There are many people in his public


    hospital, so he waited in two queues to finish everything.


    After getting back to the emergency ward, he keeps asking her, “Are you hungry? Do you want


    something to eat?”


    Lily doesn’t have any appetite and says, “No.”


    “Have some porridge then.”


    “...”


    She already told him that she wanted to eat nothing. Doesn’t porridge belong to the category of


    food?
