How incompetent he is that he cannot even protect his beloved woman. How incompetent….
Noticing his huge sorrow and anger, Lily steps forward and leans over to embrace the originally proud yet drooping man at this moment. “It’s not your fault. I believe you can protect me, so I choose to go.”
“I don’t want you to go.” He cannot predict what will happen or what she will face. Since he is absolutely involved in it, the police will not disclose too much even if he bribes them.
He could not ease up at all if he could not see her.
“Don’t worry. I will take care of myself.” Lily has made up her mind and insists, “What you should do now is help me clear the suspicion, instead of hiding me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I hide?”
Now Rex could not hide Lily anymore as the situation does not allow.
Rex is so painful that he hugs her tightly. His breath is full of Lily’s reassuring smell. He thinks it dangerous to let Lily go, “I can’t let you go. What if something bad happened? How can I afford…”
At this juncture, there is no way to turn around. He could not make any mistakes.
Letting her go to the police station is too risky.
If something bad happened, he could not afford to lose.
Lily slightly gets rid of his hug and looks at him, “Then are you going to hide me till you find out everything? What about Karl, this hospital, and the patient? Have you ever thought about it? I have. So I can’t hide and make you take all this!”
“What about me?”
Lily looks at him with a complex expression. The sourness surging inside her heart is about to swallow her up. She then raises her hand to touch the handsome face of the man, “I will be fine.”
She takes a deep breath and turns around at the man who is sitting on the sofa from the beginning to the end. While holding back the tears in her eyes, she says goodbye to Rex, “I’m leaving.”
Rex removes the smoke from his lips and presses it hard in the ashtray. He gets up to her with a chilling wind. He hugs the woman in his arms and promises in her ears with a dull tone, “Wait for me.”
Thousands of words cannot be offset with these few words. Lily nods heavily, “I will.”
Rex does not delay for too long. He quickly releases her and looks away from her to the commissioner on the side, “Please take care of her.”
He has never been so soft-spoken.
Of course, the commissioner promises readily, “Rest assured, Mr. Rex. It’ll be okay…”
