Doesn’t want to give up?
Ryan hooks his lips, and he is not worried about this at all, "I believe you will give up when the result is out, I'll wait for you."
It's just a matter of time, women are emotional and troublesome; even someone has told them the truth, they will only believe the truth when it happens.
However, he doesn't mind to wait with her.
"No, I'm trying to fight for myself, and I don't want to just sit there and wait for the result." Lily doesn't want to give up, nor does she want to risk her whole life because of someone like Marina, so she wants to put in an effort to save herself.
"It will be great if you tell me this when I first met you at the police station." Ryan recalls the situation and it seems like it just a few days ago, but it had happened a long time ago, "It was too bad that you didn't trust me at that time."
Lily smiles in a trance, "Now you can laugh at me."
The reality is mocking her that she thinks their relationship is firm and can last forever, but it's just her own monologue.
"I don't have this kind of hobby." Ryan doesn't care about that, all he cares about is whether he can bring this woman who is unique to him away, "I'll wait for your contact."
After hanging up the phone, Lily is unable to calm down herself. She will not go and reach out to Ryan unless she has no choice. He is a man who can't be messed with.
She has no other way but to wait since Rex can’t help her.
She does not know whether she is too nervous or emotional when thinking of the lawsuit. Her stomach feels uncomfortable and she retches.
The police officer rushes to her immediately and sees she shrinks and squats on the ground, and the police officer is asking nervously, "Miss Lily, are you all right?"
Lily is the 'VIP' in the police station from the first day she comes, even she is a suspect, but there is no one who dares to slight her.
Lily wants to say that she is fine, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she feels sick again. She takes a glass of water from the table and drinks it, “I’m fine, I guess I'm just too nervous."
She doesn’t have a good rest and she has met with Rex today, her mood is totally affected, plus she cries a lot, so she guesses she is too tired and that’s why she feels sick.
The officer still worries after hearing her words, "Should I call the doctor come over to help you?"
"No need, thanks." Lily is afraid that the officer does not believe her words, and she lies, "I do occasionally."
The police officer doesn’t force her after seeing her insistence, "Alright then, if you feel uncomfortable, just call me."
The feeling is coming back when Lily wants to thanks the police officer. She tries to endure it, and she has the tachypnea after the officer has left.
Fortunately, the feeling doesn't last long, and Lily returns to normal soon.
Lily doesn't take it seriously. She thinks it is just a normal reaction, until the next day when the foods are delivered to her during lunch time. She starts to feel nauseous again when she sees the delightful dishes which are in front of her.
Although the police station's meal isn't considered exquisite, it definitely will not make her react so much...
The time she feels nauseous is more prolonged than last time, especially when she smells the celery and she is about to vomit.
"It's me." Lily walks to the side lowers down her voice, "Abby, I need your help, I'm running out of time so I'll tell you the points, I need a pregnancy test stick that can find in the pharmacy."
Abby is happy when Lily calls her, but she stuns for a moment when she hears Lily's words. She comes back to her sense after a few minutes, and she says, "Pregnancy test stick? Why do you need this? Are you..."
Abby uses her hand to cover her mouth, and she can't speak because she is surprised.
"I don't know." Lily says nervously, "I hope it's my misconception."
"Don't worry about it, I'll bring you the things you want in this afternoon, maybe you are just too nervous." It is the only way which Abby can use to comfort Lily.
Lily looks towards the door, "I'm using the police station's phone, I can't say too much, we'll meet and talk later."
"Okay."
Abby arrives at the police station with a pregnancy test strip at 3:00 p.m. She doesn’t bring the electronic type because she scares the police officer will discover it. She is panicked when she passes through the inspection door, but luckily she is getting inside.
Abby has not seen Lily for a long time. When Abby sees her, she is sad and almost cry out because Lily becomes thinner and has bloodshot eyes and a pale face.
Abby stands near the door, but she can't move. She turns her back before her tears fall down. Abby does not know why, or perhaps she just doesn't want Lily to be sad with her.
Lily looks at her shoulders which can't stop trembling, she walks to her and embraces her from the back, she reassures softly, “Abby, I'm fine."
This sentence has made Abby can't control herself and cry out. Abby is anxious and angry, "How can you say such a word, look at yourself..."
