Chapter 480: It Comes

Normally, Lily doesn’t have good ways to ask Rex to do the body check. Every time, she acts like a
thief, pretending to be normal in front of Rex, while discussing with Karl about withdrawal in private.

Now he takes the initiative to mention it, but Lily isn’t happy.

“Alright. I’ll go with you.” Even though she doesn’t know what Rex is thinking, she can’t refuse.

This addiction attack came and went fast, but it plants a seed in the bottom of their hearts, as if a
hidden danger lies between them.

Lily knows that it’s a time bomb that would detonate one day, but she has no other choice but to wait.
She is like a prisoner who has been sentenced to death. She knows that Rex would find out the truth
one day. She could only delay, but she can’t change the result.

The best possibility is that the addiction could be completely cured before Rex realizes it. Would such a
miracle happen?

She doesn’t know, but she just hopes that it would happen.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you home.” Rex calms down and picks up the jacket from the sofa.

Lily follows him, looking at the sweat stains and countless wrinkles on his shirt. The corridor lights
reflect on his head, casting a lonely halo.

When Rex says “go home”, the air around him becomes not that cold. Lily takes two steps forward and
holds his large palm. He subconsciously shrinks his slender fingers, but soon clenches her hands more
tightly.

...



The next morning, after Rex wakes up, he doesn’t have breakfast. He rushes directly to the hospital
where Karl works. When a man has a body check, he’d better not have meals before the inspection.

When Rex and Lily arrive at the hospital, it is only nine o’clock. Lily hasn’t found an opportunity to
communicate with Karl since yesterday. Now she is going to see him directly. She is a little flustered.
Fortunately, Karl performs normally. He does a complete physical examination for Rex according to the
procedure of the previous examination.

The equipment of Karl’s Hospital is the most advanced in this industry. All values in the physical
examinations can be printed out immediately.

Seeing the result sheet is handed over to Rex, Lily becomes nervous. Karl notices her feelings. He
teases, “Don’t worry. The values are normal.”

Hearing this, Lily heaves a sigh of relief, knowing that Karl has changed the result.

“Sorry to trouble you, Karl.”

“Not at all. We are friends.”

Rex looks at the result sheet in his hand and frowns. The values do not fluctuate much from that on his
previous result sheets. However, he knows his own condition very well. It can’t be that the values are
normal judging by his symptoms yesterday.

“Is the result correct?” Rex interrupts their chat in a calm voice.

Karl raises his hand and gently pats him on the shoulder. “Rex, what’s the matter? We’ve known each
other for so many years, but you don’t trust me?”

They are both over 1.8 meters tall. When they stand side by side, the aura around them becomes
unusual. As old friends for many years, they know each other’s view with a single glance.



Rex knows that he can’t get anything from Karl. He frowns and hands the result sheet to Lily, who is
standing beside him. “Nothing. There’s something wrong with my body recently. Perhaps I’m too
sensitive.”

“If you have any concerns, you can tell me.”

Rex ponders for a moment, but what he asks has nothing to do with his own health. “Sometimes, I hurt
Lily. Is there any way to deal with it?”

It doesn’t matter if he feels pain, but he is most afraid that he would lose control and hurt Lily.

Karl nods. “I will prescribe some supplementary drugs for you. When the attack comes, take them and
they will ease your pain a little.”

In this way, Lily doesn’t have to secretly mix them into other medicines every time.

“Alright, just tell me what’s going on if anything happens. I’m not as fragile as you think.” Thinking of
their frequent correspondence on Lily’s phone last night, he is angry. He understands that they must be
doing something for him. Therefore, he’s not angry with them, but angry with himself.

Hearing it, Karl knows Rex stops questioning him. However, based on his understanding of Rex, Karl
doesn’t think that Rex believes him. “Rex, I guarantee that I will give you a healthy body. However, the
recovery period is longer than expected, but don’t worry. If you really can’t recover in my hospital, it’s
useless to find another one. I promise that nothing will go wrong.”

Since Karl says so, Rex doesn’t say anything else. He simply chats with Karl for a while before leaving
the hospital.

On the way back, Lily couldn’t hold on to her sleepiness. Last night, she was worried about today’s
examination, so she didn’t sleep well all night. Now she is extremely sleepy.



Rex looks at the little woman who is breathing heavily beside him. He lowers his voice to prevent her
from waking up. He whispers to the driver to turn down the air conditioner in the car.

Rex looks at Lily’s eyes. There are black circles under them. They’re not particularly black. However,
her skin is exceptionally fair, so it seems terrible. She must haven’t rested well these past few days.

Rex stretches out his hand and gently puts her head to her shoulder to let her rest on his shoulder.

Lily seems to feel something. She doesn’t open her eyes, but habitually rubs Rex’s shoulder and neck
with her head. That familiar intimacy is transmitted to Rex even when she is asleep.

Rex also enjoys the moment that Lily relies on him. This is his beloved woman. No one could be more
eager than him to company her, but ...

Rex slightly frowns. He recalls the result sheet that he got from the hospital.

Rex stares at Lily for a while and makes sure that she is asleep. Then he takes out his phone and finds
a number with the name of “Lee” from the address boOkay. He opens the “message” and sends the
result sheet that he got just now.

Not long after, the phone vibrates. Lee texts back. It is a short sentence.

“No problem with the result and all values are normal.”

Rex is not calmed down when seeing this message. He gazes at the word “normal”. Karl is a
professional doctor. If he wants to hide something, he will make perfect values, so that there won’t be
obvious flaws.

After pondering for a moment, Rex texts again, “Are you sure?”



This time, he waits for nearly ten minutes before receiving the reply. Compared to the previous
message, the present one is more accurate.

“There’s no problem with the result according to the values. If you want to verify it in detail, you must do
a thorough check. If you have time, you can come to me. The result is correct based on the values on
the sheet.”

Once Rex finishes reading the message, the car drives on the speed reduction belts. Although the car
itself can ease the vibration, they are jolted. He immediately puts the phone aside. Fortunately, Lily is
not woken up, but moves her body uneasily.

Without further delay, he taps on the screen with his fingertips.

“Tomorrow night I’ll come to you. See you then.”
