Chapter 229: Why Bother?

“Rex, Lily does not have a big problem. She has only excessive fatigue and throat inflammation that
lead to high fever. Thirty-nine degrees point two. I have shot an antipyretic injection. Once she’s awake,
makes sure she eats a light flavored food. Rest for two days is fine.” The family doctor says slowly
beside Rex.

By looking at the handsome man with a dignified face standing in front of him, this man has a natural
sense of oppression and loneliness. Without him speaking, you will not dare to start a conversation.
However, this kind of face makes people could not help but take a few more glances. The doctor
slightly lowers his eyes, could not believe that the hickey on the girl’s body is left by Rex.

Rex keeps on staring at the bulge on the bed, “When can the fever disappear?”

“Well… maybe in the evening. If she repeatedly has a low fever, take the medicine that I left. No more
than thirty-eight degrees is fine.”

“Okay, thank you.” Rex finishes and glances at Fanny, motioning her to send the doctor away.

Fanny understands his expression and makes a pleasant gesture, “Doctor Ben, please.”

The two go downstairs one after another, the quietness on the corridor of the second-floor restores.
Rex stands alone for a while as if he is thinking of something. After pondering for a few seconds, he
enters the room and uses the backhand to close the door.

The long yet straight legs walk towards the bed. The closer he is, the more unbearable he is to see the
small face blushing red due to high fever.

There is a lot of sweat on her face, the sweats on the two temples are even more serious, which makes
her hair wet and stuck to the side of her face. The delicate brows are slightly wrinkled even in her
sleep. It is clear enough to see how scared she is from the incident just now.



Thinking that she has been with Harry for these days, eating badly and sleeping badly have extremely
exhausted her body. Plus, after being tossed by him for so long, it must be unbearable.

Rex sits by the bed and raises his hand gently to touch the delicate face. Suddenly, there is a whisper
in his ear---

‘Rex, don’t do that, it’s uncomfortable…’

The voice is gentle and he senses the grievance in it after listening to it carefully. He is really a jerk; he
does not even notice it.

The sight falls on the small face between the pillows. Rex stands up and leaves for a while. When he
comes back again, there is a wet handkerchief in his hand. For the first time, he takes care of someone
else. The handkerchief hangs in the air for a long time before finding the right spot. He then slowly
wipes the sweat on her forehead.

It seems she is shocked by the icy handkerchief; the petite woman’s eyebrows are tighter. There is also
some groans in her mouth.

Rex could not hear clearly, so he moves closer, “What do you say?”

“Don’t touch me…” The lips which have become chapped due to the high fever unconsciously murmur.

Rex’s body freezes, his eyes slightly turn, he could see the brutal red marks one after another… all of
which are caused by him.

Regret. It’s too late now. Remedy… will she cherish it?

The handkerchief in his hand is tightened by him. The indestructible man begins to panic. After waking
up, she must have hated him more.



The apology word rolls in his throat. Even though he knows that she cannot hear it, he still stubbornly
whispers softly in her ear, “Sorry, Lily….”

The uneasy petite woman in her sleep does not respond, and also could not give him a response. She
has a high fever of thirty-nine degrees point two, of which half is his credit.

After Fanny sent away the family doctor, she takes the medicine left behind and goes upstairs to leave
it aside. She knocks on the door of the room and enters after getting permission. When she turns
around, she sees Rex sitting by the bed, taking care of Lily carefully.

She could not help but stun, thinking of how Rex violently dragged Lily when he came back today. It
was a very different people, the person just now was really terrible, yet now he is very gentle.

It’s a pity that Lily cannot see this gentleness.

Hmm, why bother.

Fanny secretly sighs helplessly, not willing to disturb this tranquility. After putting the medicine on the
table, she leaves.

The man who is sitting by the bed does not move. He does not even look back as if he does not notice
any movements behind him. He only focuses on looking at the woman on the bed, taking care of her
meticulously.
