Let's Get Married novel Chapter 313

Harry and Bree don’t remember how much strength they used when they sign the papers. They didn’t even bother to take a second look at what they sign. Those papers are so thin but they are like a giant monster, waiting to consume them with sorrow and depression.

After signing the paper, Lily is legally ‘gone’. Completely disappeared from this world. From now on, there wouldn’t be any signs of her appearance anymore.

And Harry and Bree only have each other to depend on.

When the reality hits, the tears of the old folks couldn’t stop rolling off from their eyes. However, no matter how many tears are shed, the pain is always going to be there.

After completing the paperwork, the Commissioner of Officer turns around and asks Rex, “Mr. Rex, do we still need to close the road of the accident scene?”

What he really meant is, she is gone and there’s no point continue searching. It’ll just be a waste of time.

Rex glares at the Commissioner of Officer. The coldness in his eyes could freeze someone to death. “The road must be closed, and we will keep searching.”

The Commissioner of Officer gives Rex an agonized look, “Mr. Rex, we too, hope Ms. Lily is still alive somewhere but after all, the road belongs to the public. It is difficult for us to keep it closed for your interest.”

Difficult?

Rex put up a calm face. There isn’t even the tiniest change in his expression. “Are you saying, you couldn’t do anything about it?”

“Let’s put it this way. We understand your concern but I’m just a Commissioner of Officer, there are many things that I’m incapable of,” the Commissioner of Officer thought Rex showing signs of giving up, he quickly mentions about how he helped him since the accident, “You see, it’s been quite some time since the accident. I’ve been handling and dealing with all the pressures to keep the road closure permit. I wouldn’t back down if it is not the last decision to make.”

“It’s fine,” Rex nods. It didn’t sound like he blames him for anything, then he continues, “Whatever you are incapable of, I’ll get somebody else to do it for me. Regarding your wish to retire in a few years, well, we shall see how it goes.”

The Commissioner of Officer’s face changes when he hears Rex’s words. Other than honour and fame, what’s most important for him now is whether he could successfully retire. There are many cases of those who get jailed up in their last few years in duty. He wouldn’t want to join those people. He has been at a higher position for so long, so this is his only concern.

Is Rex trying to get him in trouble?

The Commissioner of Officer is startled and immediately stands up from his seat. The leg of his chair makes a discordant sound from the dragging. “Mr. Rex, I believe we could work something out. It might be difficult but it is not impossible.”

He changes his attitude and almost bows down to Rex. He thought he could step on him and get some of his requests fulfilled when he sees the scruffy looks on Rex. However, he has forgotten that no matter how Rex looks, he is Rex, and he’s got tons of ways to torture him and make him lose his job.

His vulnerabilities are all reserved for Lily. For the outsider, he is always a cold and heartless person.

It would only take a few seconds for Rex to destroy everything he earned in his entire life.

“That’s great. You know how important this is to me. Don’t make me tell you the second time,” Rex’s tone is flat and emotionless but it just makes people feel like they are strangled by his words.

She was never a mean person. She couldn’t be like a shrew and scold him. Furthermore, this is the man her daughter loved dearly. What should she do about him?

Harry reaches out for Bree and hugs her. His eyes are swollen but he glares at Rex at a strict face, “You don’t owe anything to us. You owe it to Lily. You’ve got nothing to redeem from us. Now that she is gone, you will never be able to return any favour. So, live in pain now. We will never forgive you because the one should forgive you is gone, forever, and you never deserve her forgiveness.”

Harry then holds Bree’s hand and walks out from the room without looking at Rex. Rex has already ordered some of his men to tail the old folks, just in case, anything happens to them.

There is only the Commission of Officer and Rex left in the room. Rex clenches his fist, the air feels like it’s been frozen and it feels like his chest is pinned down by heavy rocks.

He lowers his body and put his hand on his chest. His heart is covered with so many thorns and huge pain comes every time it contracts.

“Mr. Rex?” the Commissioner of Officer gets worried seeing Rex like this.

Rex closes his eyes and opens them. His sharp eyes never look the same anymore. His eyes look…empty. Without saying anything, he walks out of the room.

Just like before, he is able to talk or walk like normal people but underneath this body, his mind is already defeated by reality and he is living on his last breath.

Rex walks out of the police station and the sun shines upon his face. He squints his eyes and he realizes that tears have already wet his eyes before he knows it.
