Chapter 409: Caring Out of Concern

In the afternoon, Lily begins waking up slowly. By this time, the intravenous drips were all finished. She
feels dizzy when opening her eyes, after which she turns sideways and sees Abby sitting beside.

“Abby...” She calls her in a pretty slight voice that almost can’t be heard.

Abby sees her hand moving and finds out she is awake, “Hey. How are you feeling? Are you feeling
well?”

Lily thinks for several seconds and feels her whole body unwell, but she finally only says, “I am fine. I
just want some water.”

“Water got cold. Rex just went to get some hot water. He will be back soon.”

Rex?

Hearing this name, Lily frowns and before she can say more things, she sees the man walking towards
them from the door. He is carrying a pink thermal mug in his hand, which stands in sharp contrast to his
image.

Seeing her awake, Rex is a bit shocked and then quickly walks towards her. Watching her shiny eyes,
he bends over and lays his lips on her mouth, “I was so worried.”

Abby doesn’t even have time to turn away before “being forced” to witness this romantic kiss.

Lily doesn’t have time to escape the kiss either. She is just awake and everything is so fuzzy to her
now. She looks confused and makes response in a slow way, “Why are you here?”

“I called you this morning, but no one answered. I asked Abby and knew you were in the hospital.” It
seems that he has a lot to say, and there is hesitation and struggle in his eyes. But at the end, he only
asks, “Why didn’t you tell me you were suffering last night?”



Looking down, Lily thinks about last night and doesn’t want to face him.

Seeing Lily in silence, Abby is afraid that they will stop talking again or even turn against each other.
But to her surprise, Rex is not getting impatient at all. Instead, he mentions Adair first of all and in a
nice way.

“I called Fanny back the day before yesterday. When Adair is home by himself, Fanny can look after
him. She is more elderly and therefore has more experience. You don’t need to worry about so much.”

Hearing him talking about Adair, Lily looks at him again. She didn’t expect he would call Fanny back.
Now she feels more relieved, but still, she feels like she is the one to blame. She asks, “Adair...Does he
miss me?”

“Yes.” He answers immediately, “He mentions you several times.”

Hearing this, Lily feels upset. On the one hand, she is touched by Adair’s missing her. On the other
hand, she feels guilty. It is because she doesn’t have a settled home that Adair has to suffer with her.

Rex totally understands what she is thinking. He lays his big hand on her little sad face, and says
before she attempts to avoid, “When your fever is gone and you feel well enough, I will bring you to see
him.”

Hearing this, Lily freezes when trying to break away, for she is so shocked that she doubts that she
misheard, “What did you say?”

“Don’t you want to see Adair?”

Yes, she does. She wants to see him so much. But she doesn’t understand why he agrees suddenly...

Out of surprise, Lily opens her eyes wide. She doesn’t care about her sore throat now and raises her
voice, “You...you are willing to do that?”



Her eyes are full of doubt, which makes Rex feel upset. Maybe it is because he was to resistant to this
idea before that she has no confidence in him now.

“You are his mother, why not?”

Lily’s eyes are fixated on the man’s eyes. She doesn’t believe Rex just said that. Since her return, they
have been quarreling over Adair. She never expected that he would make such compromise.

Rex reaches to get the mug and put in a draw before handing it next to her mouth. Lily wants to avoid
his hand unconsciously, but he stops her at the next second, “Drink some water. Don’t make me angry.”

What he said is kind of a threat, but he says it so softly. Therefore, it doesn’t sound repressive but is
more like a demonstration of care.

Thinking about Adair, Lily doesn’t want more problems from him. Besides, she is truly thirsty, so she
opens her mouth and drinks almost half of the water.

Abby watches them from beside and feels happy for them from the bottom of her heart. It is so nice like
this. They are so in love with each other, so if they can just both make some compromise and put
everything overboard, all problems can be solved.

The kid is the best bridge.

Rex calls the doctor who then comes and gives Lily a temperature check. She still has a low fever of
38.2℃. The doctor says, “I recommend you to stay in hospital for one more day in case the fever
should come back at night and you couldn’t get timely medical treatment. Besides, your fever was too
serious before, and you should get an overall body check tomorrow. If your body is found fully well
tomorrow, you can be discharged then.”



Rex is fine with the idea and takes the documents to go through the admission procedures at one of
the designated windows.

After he walks out of the emergency ward, Abby comes near Lily and whispers to her, “You got a fever,
and Rex totally became another person.”

Lily wonders why his attitude changes so much too. Is it because he feels sorry for her due to what
happened to her last night?

She is not sure.

“Maybe it’s just for several days. Then he will become his old self again.”

Hearing this, Abby comforts her, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Though Rex’s temper can be better, but he’s
not someone who will break his promises.”

Lily breathes a sigh and says, “I hope so.”

The lady on the next bed sees them muttering and can’t help but interjects, “Ms. Was that your
boyfriend?”

Lily blushes and wants to answer no, but then she thinks of their interaction before and just can’t open
her mouth and deny.

Seeing her hesitating and blushing, the lady keeps misunderstanding and thinks she is too shy to
answer. Then she waves her hand and asks, “Are you in a relationship now? Young men today don’t
know how to cherish their girls. But your man is different!”

Rex has been staying by her side since he came. The lady saw everything and keeps saying, “When
you were asleep, your boyfriend was worried sick. His eyes even got red. He cares about you so



much.”

Lily is a bit surprised and turns to Abby, with confusion full of her eyes.

Abby waves her hand immediately, “I know nothing about it. I went out for a while.”

“You should cherish such a man. He has good look and great temperament. When you were asleep, he
kept looking after you. He must love you very much!”

Lily doesn’t know what to say and just smiles back.

But in her heart, something is emerging.

She always thinks he is the one to blame for what happened last night. He wasn’t thinking for her at all.
But now that she hears what the lady said, she thinks maybe she was wrong about him.

After all, for a man like Rex, who knows how much emotion he keeps hidden under his calm face?

After forty minutes, Rex finishes the admission procedures. There are many people in his public
hospital, so he waited in two queues to finish everything.

After getting back to the emergency ward, he keeps asking her, “Are you hungry? Do you want
something to eat?”

Lily doesn’t have any appetite and says, “No.”

“Have some porridge then.”

“...”

She already told him that she wanted to eat nothing. Doesn’t porridge belong to the category of
food?
