Chapter 579: Trying to Accept This Relationship

Those pictures shoot at her like daggers through a space-time tunnel, stabbing into her soft brain. The
harder she tries to figure out what is going on, the more difficult it gets to remember.

Gradually, she sees the child's face clearly. It is Adair. She has seen him countless times in videos. He
is smiling so happily, revealing eight white and neat teeth. "Mom, is this Dad?"

When she can't feel, the sounds and pictures are all just meaningless and dull.

She wants to answer the boy, but she can't. She doesn't even know what happened next.

A buzz sounds.

The sound rings out in her ears, from her temples to the depths of her head. As if she were being torn
apart by a pair of large invisible hands, she feels a splitting headache and cannot help but groan, "How
painful. It hurts...."

Rex is woken up by her low cry of pain. His deep black eyes are bleary from the sleep. But when he
sees her painful expression, he is wide-awake.

He immediately sits up and asks nervously, "Lily? What's wrong with you?"

Lily used to have nightmares quite often, so even if her eyes are open now, he isn't sure if she is being
haunted by nightmares or if she is feeling uncomfortable.

Lily keeps hitting her head with her hands, as if doing so would alleviate the pain.

Rex looks at her and feels heartache. He grabs her hands to stop her from moving. He keeps calling
out her name, "Lily, wake up! Look at me!"



His shout helps Lily regain her senses. She is pulled out of the deep vortex of memories. She looks at
the man's eyes and says, "Rex...."

"It's me. I'm here!" Rex heaves a sigh of relief and lets go of her wrists. "It's fine. Don't force yourself if
you can't remember."

She has experienced this several times. Recalling the past would leave her in pain. He once asked Karl
about this, and Karl said it was common among amnesia patients. It is not a bad thing. Although it is
painful, it can help her slowly remember what happened.

However, Rex's heart aches like hell when he sees her in agony.

"I thought of Adair. Did I ever work abroad?" Lily looks at him with uncertainty.

Rex's body shakes and he is somewhat surprised. "That's right. You remember that?" he says.

She can't remember what happened after she divorced Tim. Although she helped her own case back
then, she can't recall it. She even forgets about going abroad to work in London after that.

Now that she mentions this, Rex is both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

"I ... I don't know if I remember. I just saw Adair sitting beside me on the plane. He was very happy and
said that he wanted to find his father."

Every word moves Rex. "Yes, you left for five years. Adair wasn't with me, and you hid yourself. I
thought you died in an accident and we missed each other. However, in the end, you came back."

"So, I gave birth to your child at the beginning of these five years?"

"Yes."

Lily asked Rex about the past once. He told her how they met and fell in love in detail.



Now she knows who this child is. She gently closes her eyes to avoid the bright light from the window.
Although she cannot remember everything, she is still shocked by how desperate and reckless she
used to be.

She actually gave birth to his child abroad, where she knew no one. How much courage did it take for a
helpless woman to make such a decision when she only had herself to rely on?

She must have loved him very much.

"When you came back, I swore I would protect you and our child for the rest of my life. But I never
expected that so many bad things would follow. To be honest, this is the first time that I feel so useless.
I can't even protect my woman," Rex chuckles. His laughter is filled with self-mockery. He bitterly
continues, "If one day you really remember everything and don't want to trust me or be with me
anymore, I will give you everything I have and then disappear."

Lily has seen him being determined and resilient, but has never seen him being discouraged.

For some reason, her heart is throbbing uncomfortably. She remembers what Karl once said—

'Although you have lost your memory and can't remember anything, your body will remember things for
you. Your brain will react subconsciously. Perhaps it won't be your choice, but instinct.'

Therefore, when she hears that he might leave her, her forgotten self feels heartache out of instinct.

Lily cannot describe this unique feeling, but she can feel the intense love.

Perhaps, she should face this relationship squarely. Even if it is for the sake of that once reckless self,
she shouldn't continue to run away.

Not to mention....



Lily takes a deep breath and looks into his deep eyes. Those dark eyes seem to have endless magic
that can suck people whole.

Now she can hear no sound but only her own heart thumping with power.

"Rex, perhaps I should learn to face my heart calmly," Lily speaks earnestly with piety in her eyes,
"Although I don't want to face your sacrifice, my heart don't allow me. I tried to struggle against it, but I
failed. My reason says it is fine even when I see how distressed you are, but my heart...."

She covers her left chest and smiles with tears, saying, "It hurts."

Rex did not expect her to say this. His eyes are burning as he stares at this tender and fragile face. His
throat is boiling hot, and he doesn't know what to say.

"You're awesome. Even if I don't remember what happened, I feel you have a good heart during my
time with you. My appreciation can't turn into love for the time being. But I still want to try to accept my
heart and this relationship." Saying that not only isn't as difficult as she imagined, but gives her relief.
"It's just that it may take me a long time to adjust. You need to be patient."

Rex cannot believe what he has just heard. She tried to push him away most of the time these past few
days. This behavior hurts him more than to see her suffer from the treatment.

But now she says she wants to do her best to accept him.

He holds the woman in front of him into his arms. After so many days, apart from secretly hugging her
and kissing her in the dead of night, he never managed to be intimate with her.

Now a simple hug makes his eyes red. "No matter how long you need, I will wait for
you."

Lily takes a deep breath and looks into his deep eyes. Those dark eyes seem to have endless magic
