Chapter 542: A Scarlet Nightmare

After Lily disappears, the progress of the case is delayed. Though there is enough evidence to prove,
there is still a problem with the last party, so the court does not start.

Although Rex does not spread out this matter, Orson still feels it unusual. Something big must have
happened to make him, so he is unable to take care of such an important job.

However, no matter how he inquired, Rex does not say anything.

Adair has been staying with Bree and Harry recently. Considering their old ages, the driver will come to
pick him up every day.

After more than a week without any news of them, Adair begins to ask Bree and Harry, "Grandma,
grandfather, when will my mother come back?"

Facing his question, they don't know how to answer. They only know that they are on a business trip
and cannot get in touch with them. Just as they are about to get in a hurry, Abby comes over to comfort
them, saying that Rex has a case and that it is inconvenient to contact the outside world.

Although they feel that this is inappropriate, it is obvious that they have no choice but to placate the
little child. "Mom and dad are abroad. They will come to see you after they are free for a few days. I'm
sure they will bring you a lot of gifts at that time."

In the first few days, Adair is happy when he hears the gift, but after that, he becomes disappointed. He
says, "I don't want the gift. I want my parents to accompany me."

"Adair, be good. We can play with you."

Adair curls his lips, afraid to say anything else that will make Bree sad. He goes to the room alone with
his head stuffed.



Harry sighs, "They are always busy with their work. Why they just leave the child here?"

"They are busy with their work. Rex can't get out of the office after returning to the law firm." Bree also
disapproves of this method, "When they come back, I have to talk about it properly."

Adair enters the room. Looking at the toys and picture books on the table, he is still unhappy. The clean
child is lying on the bed without even taking off his shoes. Although his parents are busy and cannot
accompany him sometimes, he can see them every day for breakfast, dinner and sleeping. Now that
they don't come to see him for more than a week. Do they forget him?

During the day, Adair does not dare to show his sadness. He is afraid that he will make grandmother
and grandfather worry. Now that he is alone, he cannot help but feel sad. Tears fall from his big eyes.

This fragile and sensitive child is missing his parents. He turns over and lies on the pillow, crying
silently.

...

This time, Hawk brings Lily to an extremely secluded place. The villa's location is already remote, and
further east, there are many jungles in this depopulated zone. These tall trees formed a natural shelter
and it is also the favorite landing place for all kinds of criminals. Once they enter this area, it will be
difficult for others to find them.

On the other hand, the country had already issued an order, hoping to find the hostage in the shortest
possible time and rescue her safely.

Country Y has to use various high-tech patrol methods, and even sends military drone to assist in
investigating the situation in the forest.



There is no news for two consecutive days. Rex has barely slept. When he closes his eyes, it is all like
Lily has been ill-treated. He has only seen the video once, and another glance at it is a form of torture
for him.

Who can watch helplessly as his beloved woman is tortured, let alone such a proud man?

He forces himself to calm down, turning his hatred for Hawk into his determination to save Lily. There is
no time to lose, and he has to cheer up.

The doctor in the team watches him lose weight and cannot help but be worried. He doesn't eat much
at dinner. The doctor suggests, "Rex, let me give you an injection of nutrient. If you continue to be like
this, your body won't be able to endure."

Last time, he sees that his hand that had been hammered on the wall has not healed, and there are
one or two wounds left.

He takes a cold shower these past few days in order to calm down his restlessness and depression.

Rex stares fixedly at the satellite map. He doesn't even look up and coldly refuses, "No."

"Just an injection. If you keep doing like that for another two days, you will fall ill. At that time, how will
you participate in the case?" The doctor repeatedly persuades him that he will not force others to do
anything unless he has no other choice.

After hearing this, Rex does not refute. The team doctor hurriedly goes forward to sterilize the back of
his hand and insert the needle. After hanging up the infusion set, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Rest for a
while and call me if you need anything."

After he leaves, there is only Rex in the room. Looking at the fixed needle in his hand, he cannot help
but think of Lily. He doesn't know how her injuries are. If it isn't good, will someone treat her?



He closes his eyes and raises his hand to caress his left chest. Now, even if he thinks of her, his heart
will suddenly ache. It is as if he has been skipped by a flame and is in pain.

...

"Lily, do you like this bouquet of flowers?"

In his sleep, that familiar handsome face appears in front of her. The man wears a straight suit and
holds a bunch of yellow roses in his hand. The flowers are so fresh and real that even the petals are
stained with dew.

She reaches out and takes it, and the man says, "This is our wedding bouquet. Is it beautiful?"

Rex holds her hand and takes her into a church. The hall is filled with distinguished guests. She sees
Bree, Harry, and his parents as well as his friends like Abby.

They are all smiling at her and congratulating her.

"Where are we?" She does not realize when she sees everything in front of her.

"Today is our wedding!" The man lightly slaps her head with his big palm.

Wedding?!

She looked down and discovers that she is wearing a white and luxurious wedding dress, which is the
one customized by Rex.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see someone."

Lily follows him and walks to a separate room in the auditorium. Rex let her walk ahead. He stretches
out from the side of her face to open the door in front of her. Adair, who is standing in the middle of the



room, wears a black tuxedo and he looks like a cute gentleman.

"Adair?" She is delighted and hurriedly walks over to embrace the little child. However, when her
fingers touch his arm, blood suddenly flows out of that arm.

"Ah!" Lily cries out in shock. She wants to plug the bleeding hole. However, the more she blocks, the
bigger the wound becomes. Blood trickles everywhere she touches.

In the end, Adair cries and calls her mother. The sound is like a knife pricking her heart. In less than
five minutes, the child has already turned into a pool of blood.

Everything in front of her seems to have turned red. She turns around and looks at the man who has
been standing behind her without saying a word. His spoiled face gradually turns into Hawk's.

He smiles and walks towards her, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault!"
