Chapter 502: I Can&##x27;t Help but Kiss You

Harry is wheeled into the operating room at 9:30 a.m. This is Reynold Herbert's first operation for today.
It is arranged so to relax Harry, and Reynold can deliver his best performance in the morning with
relatively less stress and a clear mind.

Before Harry enters the operating room, Lily comforts him to make him less afraid.

Bree sits on the bench closest to the door after seeing her husband finally enter. Lily sits next to her
and reassures her from time to time. Rex sits opposite them, looking calmer.

He has to act so in a time like this.

Reynold walks out of the room one hour and half later. Noticing that the doctor comes out earlier than
scheduled, Lily quickly stands up and nervously asks, "Doctor, how is my father?"

In a hurry, Reynold hasn't taken off his mask yet. He removes it and nods in relief, saying, "The surgery
went smoothly. After everything is done, he will be wheeled to the ward. Don't worry!"

Lily finally relaxes. She feels weak from all the tension. Bree puts her hands together and keeps on
muttering, "God bless. God bless."

Rex walks behind Lily and grabs her shoulders. "It's okay. Be good."

"This is great," Lily murmurs, her eyes slightly red and dull. That's because she is exhausted from
worry.

Ten odd minutes later, Harry is finally wheeled out, but he is still under anesthesia. From the looks of it,
he is out of the woods.

Lily and Bree stay by his bedside in the ward, while Rex finds Reynold and carefully asks about the
post-op precautions.



Rex types all of them into his phone's memo, including the dosage. When he returns to the ward, Harry
is waking up.

"Harry? Can you hear me?" Bree calls out to him with concern.

Harry opens his eyes. He stares blankly ahead for a moment before slowly turning his eyes to Bree. It
is obvious that he has heard her.

He is still wearing an oxygen mask after just underwent surgery. He has difficulty speaking, his voice
hoarse as he says, "Water...."

Lily hastily takes a bottle of water, puts a straw in it, and places it near his mouth. "Dad, the doctor said
you couldn't drink too much water right now. Drink a little to moisten your throat. And you can drink as
much as you want tonight."

Harry agrees. He opens his mouth and drinks a little bit from the straw. However, when he swallows, he
chokes, and his chest heaves violently as he coughs.

Bree and Lily are nervous. They are at a loss as to what to do. Rex takes off Harry's oxygen mask and
takes a step back. When the cough gets better, Rex puts it on him again.

Harry stares at Rex for a moment, as if he is wondering why Rex is here.

Rex lowers his head slightly. Not to mention Bree, Harry is enough to make him apprehensive.

Harry is Lily's father, so Rex naturally respects him. Knowing what it must have been like for Lily, Rex
feels guilty and is not confident in front of Harry.

Besides, Harry is sick. If he is mad at him, he might get worse, and Lily will worry more.

Their eyes meet. The two men care about the same woman despite their different identities.



Rex rarely feels so on edge. Fortunately, although Harry is sizing him up, he is neither hostile nor cold,
but just being calm.

"Harry, don't worry. I checked with the doctor just now. All you need to do is rest." In the end, Rex
breaks the silence.

Harry looks away and ponders for a moment before nodding. "Thanks."

Lily was agitated as she watched from the side. This simple word puts her mind at ease. She knows
that if Harry disapproved, he wouldn't have answered.

Luckily, he accepts Rex as part of the family.

In a flash, it is noon. Bree hasn't eaten. Lily goes to the VIP restaurant to buy food with her card. When
she arrives at the entrance of the restaurant, Rex pulls her to the elevator.

She looks up in confusion and asks, "Aren't we going to buy food?"

The man replies with the same old composure, "I ordered a special soup to be delivered downstairs. I
have to get it."

"When did you do that?" Lily is a little surprised. Everyone has been busy this morning. No one noticed
he ordered food.

"It was just one call." Rex thinks it was just a little thing and takes her into the elevator holding her
hand.

Lily wants to say something else, but after he presses the button, he goes straight to kiss her.

Fiercely kissed, she can only let out a low cry.



Rex holds the back of her little head as she retreats, and pulls her back into his embrace, kissing even
harder.

After some time, the elevator stops on the first floor with a beep.

After the kiss, Lily is out of breath. She wants to say people are watching them from outside the
elevator but chooses to remain silent after all.

Rex leads her to the entrance of the hospital. The person delivering the meal is standing outside with a
dark-colored thermos in his hand, as well as six boxes of food.

He takes them all, thanks the man, and then walks back. Lily reaches out to help, but he dodges and
says, "No need. I can handle this."

"Are they heavy?"

"They are not as heavy as my exercise equipment."

Lily understands he needs to act strong in front of her, especially under such circumstances, so she
lets him.

It is lunch time. There are hordes of people in the hall, and in front of the elevator. As a result, they
enter the VIP one with their card.

The door is closed. And before she can adjust herself, this man leans over again and is about to kiss
her.

Lily shrinks back until her head touches the wall. "Rex, what are you doing?"

What is he doing?



The man raises his eyebrows and answers, "Make the most of every minute to make out with you."

Lily didn't expect him to say that. She blinks and says, "We are in a hospital. Stop messing around."

"I am not." He kisses her lips lightly and continues, "I can't help but kiss you when I see you."

He is not a sweet-talker, so every time he says something like that, Lily can't help but get emotional.

Although they have known each other and been together for so many years and they are her heart still
races when he is close, as if they just met while she was 24.
