Chapter 462: Life Hangs in the Balance

When Karl receives the phone call in the hospital, he is dumbfounded. He knows that Lily have gone to
England, but he doesn’t know that the child is kidnapped by Vivian in just a few days. Rex doesn’t
reveal anything. He understands that it is all for the sake of the child.

But how could anything have happened to him?

Karl feels grueling as if he is being fried on a pot of oil. He keeps pacing at the entrance of the hospital
hall. His staffs never see him so uneasy before.

However, the ambulance roars over and stops at the entrance of the hospital. He is still stunned as he
rushes up and sees the familiar face on the stretcher.

Rex’s face is very pale, and sweat breaks out on his forehead. He is completely unconscious. What is
even more terrifying is that his nose and mouth begin to bleed on the way here. A few dark flushes
hangs on his face, causing Karl’s heart to tremble.

After so many years of acquaintance, this is the first time that Karl has seen him appear in this state,
causing him to be unable to regain his senses.

“Director Karl, Mr. Rex is not in a good condition. He needs to be rescued!” The doctors in the same
profession know him and see him as if they grab onto a life-saving straw.

He is an expert surgeon and he is more or less proficient in other specialties, but he has no experience
dealing with such unexplained symptoms.

Karl comes to himself because of doctor’s call. He even tears up a little. Rex’s situation does not allow
him to neglect at all. Time is life. He must take efforts to arrange effective treatment for him.

“Push him to the emergency room!” Karl forcefully holds back his tears and pushes him in with
paramedics.



On this side, Pehry also rushes to the hospital after hearing the news of the child’s safety. He sees Karl
changing his clothes and preparing to enter the emergency room as soon as he gets out of the
elevator. He grabs him and says, “Karl, what about Rex?”

“It’s hard to say.” Karl’s expression is very gloomy. Before he is diagnosed, he has no way to guarantee
anything. He only prays that he will be safe and sound.

Pehry’s heart sinks, “Then … should I tell Lily?”

The corridor of the hospital falls into silence. After a long time, the man looks up and says firmly
through the medical mask, “We should. The child is safe, and Rex needs her.”

After leaving these words, Karl turns around and enters the red-lit emergency room. The people sitting
in the corridor outside are all his subordinates.

The black uniform is a little frightening. Pehry is worried and waves his hand irritably, “You three stay,
and the rest go back.”

“Yes!”

The sound of footsteps echoes in his ears as they walks further and further away, finally returning to
silence.

Through the door, the tense and nervous atmosphere continues to spread, making everyone present
feel as if they will suffocate.

Pehry walks into a safe passage and hurriedly takes out a cigarette from his pocket. At this moment,
only this pungent gas can relieve the anxiety.

Time passes by. The wait is long and difficult. He smokes heavily. Half of the smoke already is burned
off after half a minute. The floating ash lands on the ground. He has no time to care. He is waiting for



the cigarette to burn out and then throws them away.

The expression of his face slightly changes. He takes out his phone and dials Lily’s number. The voice
on the phone is like the last announcement. Finally, the person on the other end picks up the phone.

“Hello?” A gentle female voice comes from the microphone. If it wasn’t necessary, Pehry really couldn’t
bear to say this to her.

“Lily, this is Pehry.”

“Pehry, what’s wrong?” Lily rarely contacts Pehry privately, so her voice sounds a little surprising.

However, Pehry’s next words let her freeze.

“Lily, Adair was kidnapped by Vivian. He was just rescued by our people. Now He has some external
injuries, but it doesn’t matter. He has already moved to a safe place.” Speaking of this, Pehry
subconsciously opens his eyes and looks towards the emergency room not far away. He can’t see the
words, nor can he see the person. He can only see the blood red light.

Lily holds her breath in an instant. Her heart is lightened just now, but now the news falls hardest on
mood. She does not say anything, but her breathing becomes heavy. She knows that there must be
even worse news.

As expected, Pehry suppresses his emotions and says, “Rex’s situation is not very good. The exact
result is not clear. Karl is in the operating room and helps him check …”

With a sound, her brain ever just freezes and she ends up with a long silence.

Lily is completely stunned. For a moment, her minds go a blank. When she responds, bean-like tears
falls straight down like a running tap. Pehry’s voice continuously echoes in her ears, and her throat is
chocked by a huge sour feeling. Her heart hurts when she says these words, “What … did you say?”



Pehry knows that everything he mentions now is in vain, so he only instructs her in a low voice, “Lily,
come back. Rex needs you.”

Lily stands at the airport currently. Her flight today and she can arrive tomorrow. Today she is supposed
to be in a good mood and have a cup of coffee at the airport, but she gets such a bad news instead.

The child is kidnapped and something happens to Rex.

Such big things happen to the two most important people in her life, but she is not by their side. She
suddenly remembers the phone call she makes with Rex today. His voice is so hoarse that she clearly
notices it. She should have …

“It’s my fault. It’s my fault. It’s my carelessness …” Lily blames herself and regrets that she is in a
foreign country and can’t help them at all.

Pehry doesn’t know how to comfort her. Anyone who hears such news would collapse.

“Lily, you must come back safely. I believe Brother Rex will be fine. Take care of yourself. The person
he cares about the most is you.”

Lily can’t stop crying. Tears and snot mixes together, and she is in a sorry state. Her state makes
people feel sad. However, she doesn’t care less about the strange gazes of the surrounding people.
She just nods desperately, “I’ll go back now … Pehry, look after him. Count it as me begging you.”

“I will.” Pehry has to solemnly agree, “We will bless Brother Rex. He will be fine.”

After hanging up the phone, Lily sits on the sofa dejectedly. Her eyes are hollow, and her tears flow
down like crazy.



She bites her lips tightly. She hates Vivian and the heavens. Why do they do this to her? She lives an
extremely rough life for less than 30 years. Just as everything is moving towards hope, something bad
happens again.

Adair is kidnapped and Rex is seriously injured. It must be that Rex goes to save the child regardless of
the consequences, so it turns out to be like this, right?

She has too many extreme emotions. The serious sadness and worry are mixed as if they are
rampaging through her blood. She barely endures it, and her body trembles violently as she leans on
the table.

At this moment, she finally understands what Rex means to her. He is so important that she can use
her own life to exchange for his.
