Chapter 415: Helping Her to Put on Her Shoes

"You've considered a lot." Rex says as he wrinkles his eyebrows in anger."The market matters aren't as
simple as you might think. You will not be able to smooth it even if you interfere in it. Plus, are you so
confident that you won't be with me again one day?"

If they reconcile later, it will be the biggest sarcasm for Ryan, so it is better if Lily stops to interfere in
this matter from now on. It would be the best for her, and for Ryan.

Rex was not saying these for his own good. Instead, he considered the matter on Lily's side, but at
present, Lily cannot understand it.

"I'm not asking you to ask Ryan to stop. I have the ability to undertake this. All you have to do is to not
involve yourself, understand?" he adds, for fear that she may misunderstand it.

Lily is dumbfounded by his words, especially the part"are you so confident that you will not be with me
again one day". It feels like her heart is being bludgeoned.

These words...How could he spit out these words, confidently, as if it will definitely happen in the
future?

But his confidence makes her unconfident about their relationship.

Rex looks at her angry expression, and sighs heavily,"I don't know what you have achieved over the
past five years. Maybe you've made a success. But I'm different from Ryan. I won't make my woman
suffer any grievance from others. You can be independent and work hard, but you don't have to force
yourself to swallow the grievance. I will protect you and Adair."

Therefore, he would never put Lily in a dilemma regarding his conflicts with Ryan. He knows deep
down one day this possibility may happen, so he chose to repress it in advance.



Lily looks at Rex and mutters,"Rex, you're always like this. You're so overbearing, always forcing others
to follow your words."

Even if it's good, it is correct. But his attitude always makes her uncomfortable. She admits that what
happened five years ago did have a permanent impact on her. It makes her sensitive to this attitude. As
soon as the words are out, the ward is quiet for moment.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt." Rex says after a while."You're always like this." Lily repeats,
a shallow sentiment in her tone. Thinking of something, she lets out a sigh."Maybe I was too
unreasonable."

Rex raises her chin with his hand, his dark eyes lacking impatience and aversion."I didn't want to
require this of you, I just didn't know how to express it."

"There are many things I will consider myself, but in your eyes, it seems like I only have the
qualifications according your arrangement.

Hearing her say this, his brow suddenly crinkles."I didn't think about that. If I really did arrange you, I
wouldn't be in this much trouble now."

This sentence really put her at a loss for words."Lily, don't think too bad of me. Give me some time, and
I will change."

He cannot think about what Lily does to make him this heavy handed It seems that no matter what this
woman does, he can forgive it. Five years ago, he had been very positive about his approach, and now
five years later, he says to give him time and that he will change. It is impossible that there is no
fluctuation present in the mind. She keeps hoping that Rex will one day realize his mistake, and realize
how unacceptable his"arrangements" were to her at the beginning.



Now, he finally understands that Lily is in a state of disorder. He senses that the knot from the past few
years has been undone, making her feel nervous. Lily closes her eyes and doesn't look nor think."I'm
exhausted. I want to rest for a while."

Rex doesn't force her, but instead tucks her in. The door opens and it closes. Left alone in the ward,
Lily opens her eyes. She can hear the sound of the cigarette lighter in the corridor. He is smoking
again. He isn't a heavy smoker, and only does it when he is vexed. In fact, he is also very contradictory.
Her refusal and resistance are not insignificant to him, but on the contrary they are also very important.
So much that it even effects his emotions.

The change in his attitude leaves Lily at a loss. The relationship originally only required strong
resistance, but at this this time it suddenly eases up. She can't even appear with a strong attitude. It is
also low, and accustomed to the sudden improvement of hostility. More so, she is still a bit out of place.
Lily hasn't a clue, especially now that he seems unhappy. He'd taken a step back, and shown his own
character, falling short of words toward her.

The more she thinks about it, the more irritated and twisted she feels. She simply doesn't want to, so
she closes her eyes. She doesn't know if she has too many worries, but it doesn't take long for her to
fall asleep.

When Rex returns to the room after finishing his cigarette, the person on the bed is already asleep. She
breathes smoothly, and her body is relaxed. She isn't pretending to sleep. He goes to her bedside and
looks down at the small face he loves and resents at the same time. When will she finally understand
what is in his heart?

----

When she wakes up again, it is past noon. She is woken up by the doctor pulling out the needle. She
has been sleeping for more than two hours, and feels groggy."Finished?" she asks.



"Well, in a moment you can take the medicine and then you can leave." The nurse says as she
removes the infusion pump, and gives the relevant bill to Rex. Lily briefly pushes the pinprick, and
when there is no bleeding, she removes her hand."We can leave?"

"The discharge procedures were completed in advance. The driver is downstairs. Once you've
dressed, we can leave." Rex says as he reaches down to grab her shoes from under the bed. His long
legs flex as he squats and covers her feet with the shoes.

Lily isn't used to this, so she steps back and doesn't move as her face reddens. The number of times
he has done this over the years is very small, and since this time it happens in front of an outsider, Lily
feels very embarrassed. The nurse watches at the charming action of the man, and can't help but feel
admiration. She'd looked after so many patients, many of them rich people. But from all of them, Rex is
the first rich and handsome man who treats his girlfriend so well.

He gently and carefully puts on her shoes…

His movements aren't very skilled, but he tries his best to do it. His broad hands wrap around her white
feet, seemingly covering them whole. After he finishes, Lily gets up and shyly steps out of the ward, not
wanting him to witness her blushing.

Taking the elevator to the first floor, they notice a black car arriving at the gate. The driver sees them
coming, and immediately gets out of the car to open the door for them. Rex supports her as she moves
to sit in the car, resulting in many people coincidently seeing this scene. It feels good to have money,
since one doesn't have to worry about anything when they have someone to help them. These words
are however spoken far from the car, and Lily doesn't hear them. As the driver drives the car out of the
toll gate, he respectfully asks,"Mister Rex, where would you like to go?"

Lily glances at him before he answers in a steady voice."The Imperial Villa."
