Chapter 267: Beyond Dispute

“Does it hurt?” Sally gently wipes her cheek with disinfectant cotton, “It’s a big swelling with a little
congestion. Don’t touch it. I’ll give you a cold compress later.”

“I’m fine, Sally.” Lily smiles bleakly. She looked down and said, “I am not in the mood to attend to it
now.”

Sally stops wiping. She watches Lily tremble since they entered the room. She feels really unpleasant.
Spraying the anti-inflammatory on Lily’s skin, she could not help but ask, “What happened?”

What happened?

Lily recalls everything that happened tonight but she does not know where to start. She has no idea of
whom to ask, Marina?

Noticing Lily’s silence, Sally slightly frowns, “That injection… Where did you get it?”

Sally thinks, according to her experience over the years, drugs from outside have no access to VIP
wards, in which Melly stays as an ICU patient. Obviously, the crux of the problem is that injection.

“The injection is from the medical kit, and the medicament inside….” Lily stops thinking about it. She
has to acknowledge that Marina was really good at play tricks. Marina started her scheme from the
very beginning. From the moment Lily put on the protective clothing, she has been unable to get away
from everything.

Sally still wants to ask something. Suddenly, the door is pushed open from outside the lounge. A fierce
wind comes from the door. Before they can see it clearly, a dark figure darts towards them.

The man’s face is gloomy, his tone full of anxiety with heavy breath. He stares at the small red swollen
face. Thousands of questions turn out to be caring words, “Are you hurt?”



Lily’s tears that she had held back for the whole night flow out. Those unspeakable emotions woven
into an impenetrable net make her breathless. She does not realize how scared she was until the
moment she sees him.

“Rex, I don’t know. It’s not me. I didn’t…” Her voice is trembling with fear, showing how helpless she
was just now.

Even Sally feels sorry for Lily. Plenty of comfort does not stack up against Rex’s a single caring word.

Rex clenched his fists, desperate to hold her into his arms, “Didn’t you say you were at home. How
come you are in hospital?”

"Marina called me and asked me to come. I was already downstairs in the hospital when I called you. I
didn’t want you to worry about me, so…”

“Didn’t I ever tell you not to contact Marina privately?!” Rex is mad, not because of her self-assertion,
but because she did not take his word seriously. He is afraid that she will suffer.

“I didn’t know if it would be like this…” Lily bit her lip from crying out.

Staring at her surging tears, Rex sighs heavily. While holding back the anger caused by the anxiety, he
turns to look at Karl, “Where is Marina?”

“She’s still in the ward.” Karl slightly turns sideways, “Do you want to see her now?”

Rex ponders for a moment, his dark eyes frosty. He scans around the lounge, looking at the faces of
the three, and finally, he stops at Lily. He stares at her for a while before spitting out a few words, “Let’s
go to the control room first.”

While speaking, he looks steadfast.



He is observing Lily’s every subtle change in expression and behavior. But fortunately, Lily does not act
abnormally or have many mood swings.

With relief, Rex holds Lily’s trembling hands, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Lily is stunned and holds him back harder. She then nods with tears in her eyes, “Hm.”
