Chapter 595: Our Home

It is meant to be a great trip but something unexpected happens which turns it become worse. After
Eunice leaves, her phone is not turned on. Ryan insists to take care of the child the whole day until
Sunday night then only he drives back to J City.

Without waiting for him to figure it out what to do next, an unexpected piece of news comes when Adair
is passed to Abby.

“Lily and Rex are flying back tomorrow.” The two adults stand outside the car and talk after placing the
child in the car.

After hearing the news, Ryan feels startled as if he thinks that he hears something wrong. “What?”

“She’s coming back.” Seeing that such an indifferent also feels startled after hearing the news, Abby
couldn’t help but think her reaction the moment she heard this news several hours ago. Her eyes turn
red. “You’re right, Lily is... coming back.”

It is just a simple sentence but she couldn’t even finish it calmly.

Thinking of the time when she felt anxious as she had no news about Lily, she couldn’t help feeling
excited and looking forward to it.

They are best friends. If something has happened to her, asides from her family, Lily would be the one
who worries about her the most. She believes that Ryan feels the same.

Looking at the man who’s having a deep thought, Abby knows that she needs to give him some space.
“When she comes back, she will contact you. I will get in the car. Lily’s parents are still waiting for me.”

Ryan slightly nods his head, considering it as a greeting while looking at the white Audi A6 leaving from
his vision.



He drives his car back to his apartment in J City. He has not come back for a long time. The room is
somehow clean since he has ordered someone to clean it before he comes back.

He does not turn on the lights as there are some moonlights shining from outside. He walks towards
the cabinet and takes a bottle of whiskey. He does not add anything but just a few cubes of ice.

He loves the original taste of the whiskey. This kind of bitter and mellow taste fascinates him but he is
never an alcoholic.

For people like him, if he relies on alcohol too much one day, then he is not far away from his death.

Therefore, he always reminds himself that no matter when and where he needs to stay awake.

When a person has been awake for a long time, he must have felt tired sometimes that he would allow
himself to drink a glass or two.

For instance, at this moment when he thinks of that woman’s face that he has not seen for almost half
a year while all the absurd things that have happened in this trip, he just wants to be drunk even just for
a while.

...

The moment when Lily decides to come back, Rex immediately clears all the bills and finishes all the
procedures in the hospital in Country Y. There is nothing wrong with her body; her wound recovers very
fast except for the scar which needs further treatment in the future.

On the plane back home, Lily is also accompanied by Karl. He has been quite some time in overseas
and has pushed asides all his medical operations and works. Rex knows everything and he will never
forget about it.



Looking out of the windows of the plane, it is filled with blue sky and mostly white clouds. Lily’s thought
turns complicated when she thinks of J City. She couldn’t help but feeling uneasy with the thought of a
child whom she completely forgets in that unfamiliar city.

Asides from her accelerated heartbeat and the restlessness, there is nothing else she can describe as
if it is an instinct.

When Rex feels the emotional fluctuations of the woman besides him, he quickly moves his attention
from his laptop to her pale face. He reaches out his hand and pulls down the shading board on that
window. “Don’t think so much, get some rest.”

His calm voice slowly reaches into her ear then her heart, and she instantly feels stable. When Lily
turns her head around to look for the voice, she slowly falls into deep sleep. Surprisingly, the anxiety in
her heart gradually dissipates.

After few months of staying together, she has gotten used to the man being around her. Especially after
going through so many hardships together, the feeling is even strong when she is returning to this city.

“Rex.” she suddenly calls his name as she thinks of something.

The man turns to look at her. A single tone comes from his nose. “Eh?”

“You will stay with me, right?” Although she hesitates a little, she still asks. It seems like the only way to
feel less afraid is when she confirms the answer.

“Yes.” He gently raises the corner of his lips. “I will stay with you.”

In such an airtight cabin with less spacious seats, such a sentence could make all the hesitations and
thoughts in her mind disappear instantly.

It is like as long as he stays with her, she has nothing to worry about.



Lily leans towards him, resting her head on his shoulder. She slowly closes her eyes, hoping to have a
good dream.

...

When the plane lands on J City, it is already midnight. They do not inform any family members or
friends to pick them up but letting the assistant to take care of everything.

After walking out from the airport through the VIP lane, a black private car has been waiting on the side
of the road. The assistant immediately moves all the luggage into the trunk of the car and stands in
front of the car. Rex bids farewell with Karl.

“Thank you for working so hard during this period, perhaps we might trouble you again in the future.”

Karl’s car is right behind, he asks Sally to get in the car first. Karl and Rex pat on each other’s shoulder,
“What are you saying? It’s alright, we are brothers.”

“Karl.” As Karl walks away, Rex shouts as he looks at Sally in the car, “She’s a good woman, she is
worth being cherished.”

Rex has never been a sentimental person. It is rare that he even mentions to Karl. He and Lily have
known each other for quite some time but there has been no result even after experiencing so many life
and death moments. The only one sentence he can feel is - cherish the person in front of you.

If you wait until the moment that you can’t cherish, everything will be too late.

In this world, there is nothing more joyful than having someone you love standing right in front of you.

Karl smiles knowingly and nods, “I understand, see you.”



Looking at the black Land Rover disappearing from his lines of sight, Rex bends down and gets in his
car. When Lily sees him coming in, she immediately gives up her seat for him.

The man sits over; he naturally puts Lily in his arms. “Are you tired?”

“It’s okay; I sleep a little on plane, I’m not sleepy.”

He raises his hand and gently strokes her head with a soothing force. He informs the driver in a deep
voice, “Please drive to the Imperial Villa.”

“Yes, Mr. Rex.”

As the car starts to move towards the destination, he presses a button in the car. The sound insulation
board between the front and rear compartments slowly roses up.

Lily looks out of the window and remembers the pasts which he told her before and bluntly asks, “The
Imperial Villa is where you used to live before right?”

“This is our home.”

That few simple words come straight into her heart and stir up her emotions. Lily couldn’t imagine the
word so-called ‘home’ he said. As she has lost all the memories of all this and she couldn’t experience
the warm feeling of ‘home’.

However, after an hour, they finally arrive at the front yard of that magnificent villa. Looking at the three-
story villa, her nose seems to be pinched by a clip and it feels sour.

As soon as the car stops, she couldn’t wait to get out of the car and stands at the front door of the villa.
She does not have any impression but feels unexpectedly familiar with everything in front of her. Before
she has the time to react, her tears have already fallen down along her cheeks.



Rex walks in and hears her crying silently. He feels worried and quickly pulls her into his arms, “What’s
the matter, Lily?”

Lily literally racks her brain to tell him how she feels. When it reaches her lips, it pauses as she does
not know how to describe it. She just raises her hand to cover her mouth and stares at the house. “I
don’t know, I don’t know... I just feel upset as if I should have returned here long ago...”
