Let's Get Married novel Chapter 325

"Vivian said you were on business trip in South Africa. Your grandma suddenly fell ill, and you had to come from so far... "Amelia thinks she is "caring" him, unaware of how stiff she sounds.

Rex stops her, "It’s nothing. Where is Grandpa?"

"He is at home. He was also shocked when it happened. But we have told him everything was fine. We asked him to stay home since he couldn’t be much of a help here."

"Okay." Rex nods and watches his grandma on the bed.

Actually, he feels guilty. He thinks of the conflicts and arguments concerning Lily that happened between them before. Though he knows he did nothing wrong, still, he feels responsible for Grandma’s condition.

Depression is filling the ward. At this moment, Karl comes and asks him to have a word.

In the escape corridor, Rex lights a cigarette, breathes in hard and leans against the wall. Several seconds later, he raises his head and breathes out.

Karl glances at him, "I thought you quit smoking."

"Just one. I am stressed now."

"You came back overnight?" Karl checks the time and looks at Rex’s exhausted face. He signs with resignation and mollifies Rex, "Acute myocarditis is a common illness in elderly people. It is not deadly. Just make sure she sticks with scientific medication treatment. The recovery is going to be long and slow. But for the present it is not a big deal. You don’t need to worry too much."

Rex keeps his head up and answers lightly, "Okay."

Seeing him so down, Karl can’t help but chatter, "Did you take the medicine I gave you?"

"Yes, I did." Rex reaches to flick the ashes into the dustbin beside. He is lying about taking the medicine.

"Really?" Karl doesn’t buy it and persuades him, "How about you coming for a thorough physical examination some time these days? I can check if something is wrong with your body before it is too late."

"What’s wrong with my body?" He looks at him and jests, "But indeed my sex life is not going well. Can you do anything about that? "

"..." Rex’s sudden joke almost chokes Karl, who then gives him a kick and says aloud, "Then you should go to the urological department."

It has just been several minutes, but the cigarette is already finished. Rex throws the cigarette end and pats Karl’s shoulder before walking away, "Bye."

However, he walks a few steps and finds Vivian standing beside the entrance of the escape corridor.

Wasn’t expecting him coming out so fast, the woman panics, "I…I…"

Rex sneers and says, "Follow me."

The woman suddenly feels on top of the world. She thinks maybe Rex is finally touched by what she did for his grandma and family.

With this fantasy in her mind, the woman follows him to the rooftop. Karl’s Hospital is well-maintained and even the rooftop also looks very clean.

"Vivian." Rex stands by a pole, with wind blowing his hair. "I didn’t even know, besides stalking, you are also into ear-dropping."

The woman stands three steps away from him, with embarrassment on her face, "I didn’t intend to. I was just passing by."

Vivian will never admit. However, she is glad to know Rex hasn’t touched women in these years, not even once.

Though he doesn’t like her, he is not into other women, either. This is all she needs.

Her body turns a bit stiff due to nervousness, along with her face. After several seconds, she squeezes out a smile, "Rex…You are kidding, right?"

How dare he to ask her jump down?

Rex isn’t surprised of her answer at all. He asks coldly, "What? Are you afraid?"

Clenching her fists and staring at the man, Vivian wants to find out if he is being serious. However, he is too great at hiding his emotion.

While Vivian is battling with herself, Rex begins marching towards her like a tiger approaching to a prey.

Under anxiety, she starts to move back until her back touches the wall.

"Please, don’t …" Vivian is so scared that she closes her eyes.

Her scream doesn’t stop the man who keeps approaching her. Holding down sickness and disgust, Rex reaches to raise her chin, "You say you love me and can do anything for me. But you don’t deserve to say that!"

Vivian shouts back in trembling voice, "How dare you to ask for that? Nobody will do that!"

The air freezes for a moment.

Vivian thinks what she said chokes him, but the man sneers, "How do you know no one will do that?"

Yes, there was.

That girl had smiles that could make his day and tears that could break his heart. That girl was willing to die for him. But that girl was gone.
