Chapter 414: Stay with Her Overnight


    Lily can''t remember how she fell asleepst night. She only remembers that after he said thest


    words, she began to cry silently while covering herself with the quilt. For fear of him witnessing her


    ordeal, she gradually fell asleep.


    The next day when she wakes up, Lily''s head is not covered by the quilt. There is no sign of Rex being


    present, so she sits up and puts on her shoes before going to the bathroom to wash up.


    After ten minutes, just as Lily is ready to dry her face, the ward door is opened. In addition to the sound


    of footsteps, the smell of cooked rice reaches her nose.


    Lily''s stomach makes some noises. Today she feels like her fever has passed, which makes her


    appetite much better that the previous day. Seeing the steamed dumplings and rice porridge he is


    carrying in his hands, she feels very greedy.


    Rex does not expect her to be awake already, and he enters the small bathroom. Following the same


    routine, he raises his hand to her forehead."Just the right temperature. Good. Come out and eat the


    breakfast."


    After finishing the words, he turns around and leaves the bathroom first before putting the breakfast


    he''d brought from downstairs on the table.


    Lily stands very still, seemingly still feeling the warmth of his palm on her forehead. She''s familiar with


    his hands, which are dry and warm. The night before, while in a dazed sleep, she could sense the


    strength of him touching her forehead.


    Is it possible thatst night he didn''t sleep soundly and had been worrying about her high fever?


    Lily is sure that this isn''t a fantasy. She just cannot remember how many times he''d gotten up.


    Just as she tries to recollect the memories, she is called by Rex."After washing,e out quickly. The


    food won''t be tasty when it''s cold."


    Lily bites her lip, and shakes her head, trying to shake of the mixed feelings she is having."I''ming!"


    Lily sits on a small chair opposite Rex. On the table there are different kinds of foods, such as rice


    porridge, eggs, pickles and steamed dumplings which look the tastiest.


    She immediately takes one, and puts it in her mouth,pletely filling it up so that she can barely


    close her mouth. It takes her a while to chew it before speak."It''s so yummy."


    Rex can see that she has a good appetite, and since she is enjoying her food, he knows that she is


    now much healthier. He then also grabs a steamed dumpling with his chopsticks and puts it in his


    mouth.


    The moment he bites through the thin wrapper of the steamed dumpling, he feels the heavy scent of


    the broth of the dumpling filling in his mouth.


    He''d especially asked the chef to reduce the salt and oil, making the taste a bit lighter than usual. This


    however did not harm its deliciousness.


    Four tes of dumplings are finished in an instant. Lily has some of the rice porridge, but finds herself


    unable to finish it. She''d eaten too much, and feels her stomach full.


    She looks down at her stomach and sees that it clearly bulges out."I feel like I''m pregnant." She says


    without thinking.


    The whole situation reminds her of the time when she was pregnant with Adair. In the first two months


    nothing was yet visible, but then at the beginning of the third month, she started to see and feel her


    belly growing.


    At first, she felt very ufortable. She had always felt that her waist was strange and abnormal. But


    after a long time, she got used to it.


    Looking at her budging belly, she is speechless.


    Watches her touch her stomach, Rex pictures her pregnant with Adair.


    Undoubtedly, it must be hard and exhausting. And she must have suffered great pressure and fear.


    Rex doesn''t dare to think deeply about it, fearing that if he does, he won''t be able to control himself and


    will shed tears. He dislikes himself so much for he has been sentimental recently.


    He then stands up and cleans up the table, hoping to conceal his frailness and various thoughts in his


    heart.


    After the breakfast, a nursees to the ward to take Lily''s temperature and have some basic check-


    ups. She then draws a conclusion that there is still some inmmation in Lily''s bronchus, which should


    be healed in a week if she takes her medicine.


    In the morning, Lily will need to have three bottles of intravenous injection.


    "Are you the boyfriend of this youngdy? Next time, you must send her to hospital in time. She has


    had a serious high fever after all. This time she was lucky that she had no other physical problems. A


    fever this high could have been damaging; so be careful next time!" the doctor advises Rex after giving


    her an injection.


    Rex has taken care of her for a day and a night, and now people naturally regard him as Lily''s


    boyfriend.


    Lily wants to exin that that is not the case, but then she hears his reply that is full of patience."Oh, I


    will definitely pay attention next time."


    It was the first time that he showed his great patience and modesty to others. Plus, is he really going to


    adopt the identity of"her boyfriend"?


    Lily keeps her mouth shut as she watches himmunicate with the doctor. She was a bit angry at the


    beginning, but after a while, she has a strange feeling.


    His aura and character give her a sense of security.


    "Alright, if there are any problems, don''t hesitate to call. And check the infusion pump; if it''s empty,


    please call someone to change it."


    "Okay, thank you."


    After the doctor leaves, Lily looks at the dripping anti-inmmatory liquid and suddenly feels


    anxious."Make it go quicker, the faster it finishes the faster I can leave."


    "Why are you in hurry? If it goes faster, it will irritate your stomach."


    "I ate already."


    "It will go ording to this current tempo." Although Rex know why Lily wanted it to go quicker, he


    refuses her request without hesitation. Heforts her,"It doesn''t matter howte it is. I will take you


    back to see the child today."

    His words surprise her and a sudden sense of shyness washes over her. Did she show it? Was her


    desire to see the child so obvious that he could notice it with only one nce?


    "Adair is at home, safe and sound. He''s been waiting for you, so don''t be hurried. Lie down and rest for


    a while. I will wake you upter." He says as he re-levels the bed and puts a pillow under her head, so


    as to allow her to lie morefortably.


    Lily had just wakened up, so originally she was not sleep. But now, she dozes off.


    Rex sits on the chair next to the bed. He scans at thepany documents on his phone while talking


    to Lily,"Do you know that Ryan maliciously operated on the project I invested in?"


    It is not a question, but a statement.


    Yesterday when she spoke with Ryan on the phone, he heard everything. Of course, Lily does not want


    to keep anything from him, so she gives him an answer.


    "I know about it." She says, feeling a bit of awkwardness.


    "You shouldn''t interfere in this matter." Even though the cause behind hispetition with Ryan is her,


    it is a matter between men after all. It is not good for her to interfere in.


    Lily''s hands clench under the quilt."I asked him toe back. He did it all to help me. When you took


    the child away, I was anxious. I didn''t think over it at that them. If I ask him to stop now, it will be too


    embarrassed. It''s like dropping my benefactor as soon as his help is not required."
