Chapter 680: La Vie Passe

Lily tries so hard to turn a blind eye to everything she saw.

She walks back to the bedroom and looks at the empty big bed. Although she's exhausted, she couldn't
sleep now.

Lying on the bed, Lily remembers what she has seen in the study. As she thinks of Rex crying silently,
she feels so bad as if she's burning in hell.

She is heartbroken for him, but she can't do anything. No one will feel good if he can only see his
family dying without being able to do anything.

Although Rex seems to be respectful for Adonis and does not show much intimacy, Lily knows that he's
always thinking about his family. He has never been an indifferent man.

However, life never runs smoothly for him. It's unfair that he's always under pressure.

Lily just wishes that she could share the pain with him.

As time passes by, the night is advanced and the sun rises. Rex stays in the study room and Lily lies in
the bedroom. But both of them cannot sleep. Rex opens the door to the bedroom at five o'clock in the
morning.

Lily immediately closes her eyes when she hears him. She's afraid that he would find her awake, so
she covers half of her face with the quilt.

Rex takes off his coat and takes a shower before getting on bed. He has been smoking all night, and
he smells. He's worried that Lily would feel uncomfortable.

Even when he's so sad, he still cares about her.



Rex lies on the bed and turns to look at Lily. She seems to be sleeping soundly and breathing calmly.

Fortunately, she stays by his side. If she weren't around, Rex wouldn't know how to face these things.

Every time he comes out of the hospital, he feels like carrying a heavy load on his back. He gags on
the charnel stench of the place and he couldn't breathe. Only when he sees Lily would he get relieved.

These days, she has never been depressed or given up. Rex knows that she's sad too. She just does
not want to show it to him. So, she hides all the pressure and digests it by herself.

Rex feels bad that she becomes so obedient and sensible, but he doesn't have the energy to comfort
her.

He lives with a heavy heart. He's so tired that it would take a lot of effort to say something. How could
he just tell him not to worry?

"I'm sorry."

Rex speaks in a deep voice. After he smokes all night, his voice turns hoarse.

He's sorry for making her going through this with him; he's sorry that the omnipotent Rex in the daytime
can only leave her a fragile back at night.

Rex stands up and puts his hands on one side of her body. Then he bends down and lightly kisses on
her forehead. He says softly before leaving, "Good night."

...

After the wedding, Karl meets the busiest days he has ever had. He needs to push forward with Adonis’
treatment plan. Then the treatment of Lily's scar is drawing to an end. Moreover, he has to pay
attention to Eunice's health conditions.



Although Eunice hasn't recovered, her body organs are not affected. All her vitals look great. This really
makes Karl relieved.

Karl has been discussing the treatment plan with Adonis’ attending doctor. In the end, the expert
becomes helpless and tells Karl the truth. "Mr. Karl, we're both doctors. You know how Mr. Adonis’
condition is. I will try my best if there is a way to cure him. But we can't do anything now."

Karl is dumbfounded for a long time and doesn't know what to say.

He's very clear about Adonis’ health conditions. However, he does not want to accept it. He always
thinks there is still a way to cure Adonis. After all, his hospital boasts so many advanced medical
technologies.

Karl holds his breath. "So ... there is no other way?"

"We can't make people immortal however the technology advances."

The doctor's words have explained everything.

Karl knows that as Adonis’ attending doctor, he should accept it now. If he's still inundated with
unrealistic expectations, how could Adonis’ family accept the result?

"Just try your best." After a while, Karl says, "As long as there is a sliver of hope, we have to work hard
to save him. I will comfort his family."

The doctor knows that Karl is still reasonable, so he heaves a sigh of relief, "Alright, don't worry. I will
do everything I can."

Karl waves his hand and turns around. He's going to Adonis’ ward.



Along the way, he looks very serious and he's focused on the conversation just now. He doesn't pay
attention to anything around him. So he doesn't notice Sally when she brushes past him.

Sally has been angry with Karl ever since the wedding. Now that she sees him walk away and ignore
her, she just explodes and wants to drag him over and scold him on the spot.

However, even if she's mad, she remembers where she is. She can't point at the director and scold him
in the hospital.

When she was younger, she might do it. But now she has lost the arrogance.

Sally thinks to herself. "Forget it. Let him go. Anyway, he won't listen to me, so why would I bother
myself?"

When Karl opens the door and enters the ward, Adonis is drinking water with the help of the nurse. He
can't eat on his own. He has put on the feeding tube, which goes directly into his stomach. Adonis
suffers a lot when he drinks water or eats food, because everything has to go through the tube.

Karl waits for the water to be injected into the tube before walking to the bed. Amelia has been
accompanying Adonis recently. When she sees Karl, she stands up and says, "Karl..."

"Auntie, just sit down. I'm here to see Uncle Adonis." Karl pats Amelia's shoulder to comfort her.

Amelia looks at Adonis on the bed and her eyes turn red again. "Adonis..."

She wants to say something, but she only sighs and stops speaking.

People could tell how Adonis is now. It doesn't matter if she doesn't say anything.

"Oh right, you can stay here for me. I'll go take a kettle for Adonis," Amelia says as she gets up and
walks out.



Only Adonis, Karl, and the nurse stay in the ward.

Karl walks closer to Adonis and forces an optimistic smile. "Uncle Adonis, don't worry. I'm here to see
you. Our doctors are doing their best. Just don't worry about it."
