Chapter 325: Scheming Snake Vivian

"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.

"Is it I didn’t make myself clear last time, or is it you are just shameless?" Rex puts both of his hands
into pockets. Though they two aren’t standing too far, his eye look is vague.

The man is dangerous, yet also charming.

Vivian begins quibbling, "Rex, I was just being kind and brought Grandma to hospital. I wasn’t aiming at
anything. Why do you always paint me as bad?"

"No." Rex sneers and continues, "I don’t even see you in my eyes. How can I paint you as bad?"

Since Rex lost Lily, he became cranky and eccentric. At the start of this year, his grandparents began
looking for a wife for him and finally set their eyes at Vivian. Rex was duped to the date and thought he
only needs to refuse her to get it over with. However, she began taking it seriously and kept annoying
him. And because Rex’s grandparents like her, he can’t do anything about it.

Vivian’s family is kind of prestigious in City J. She is 26 years old and actually looks quite fascinating.
Though not short of pursuers, she only wants Rex.

Normally, Vivian won’t take this. But when facing Rex, she can’t play tough.



She represses her anger and says softly, "Rex, how can you define me without even getting to know
me? I like you very much and I can do anything for you. Can’t you just give me a chance?"

"You can do anything for me?" Rex repeats what she said as if he had heard a joke, "Really?"

Vivian is slightly scared by his look but still answers firmly, "Yes, anything!"

"Can you die for me?" Rex’s deep voice spreads in the wind, which is slight but clear.

Vivian is shocked, "What?"

Rex moves to make room for her, "This is the seventeenth floor. You want a chance. I can give you
now."

Vivian looks at the vacant platform and the grey, white sky in the distance. She knows he won’t do
anything to her, but his forcing eye look is making her legs feeble.

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.
