Lily accompanies Rex in the hospital. After learning from Abby that Ryan goes to see the child every
day, she feels a little relieved. She takes the time to call him. That person does not say much and
hangs up in a hurry.
It is already the third day of Rex’s hospitalization, but the man lying on the bed is not awake. Her mind
is filled with what Karl said before. The closer the 72-hour observation period is, the more uneasy she
feels.
“Brother Karl, why isn’t he awake? Is there something wrong with his body?”
Karl looks at the person who finds him for the fourth time in a day. He is equally anxious, “The
apparatus shows that the vital signs are very stable. Perhaps he is not conscious enough.”
“But today is already the third day. I’m afraid that something will happen to him …” Lily’s hands are
cold. She has been staying in the hospital these days. She can’t eat well and can’t sleep. She looks
older than ever.
“It’s useless to worry about this now. We can only wait for Rex to wake up first. As long as his
apparatus doesn’t fluctuate too much, it’s a good thing.”
Even now, he can only comfort her like this.
However, just as they are talking, the dean’s office suddenly makes sounds. It is a notification from the
equipment connected to Rex’s hospital bed.
The next second, Karl suddenly stands up from his chair. After carefully examining the equipment, he
looks at Lily in surprise and excitement, “He’s awake!”
They flow into the ward as well. They just push open the door and walk to the bedside when they meet
a pair of familiar black eyes. Neither of them expected that after leaving for a few minutes, the man
would suddenly wake up.
Lily’s eyes turn red. Her tears seem to be running dry these days. She stands at the bedside, bends
down and kisses, “You’re finally awake!”
Rex watches what is happening in front of him. After a few days of unconsciousness, his minds
become somewhat dull. Only when Lily stood up did he understands what happened.
Adair’s disappearance, Vivian’s sinister smile, and the scenes that happened in the room sweep
towards him like a rising tide, rushing into his mind.
The man knits his brows, looking a little painful. His heart rate and blood pressure are both rising on the
bedside monitor, causing Karl to come over and speed up the infusion device a bit to calm his
emotions. “Thank God, you’re finally awake. If you don’t wake up tonight, I’ll doubt my medical skills!”
As years of close friends forever, Karl is extremely excited about his awakening. These days, he is
most worried about Rex. After all, all the treatments are done by him. If something really happens to
Rex, he will never be able to face himself in this lifetime.
Fortunately, he wakes up.
“How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Lily looks at him and frowns. She asks again and again.
Her words overflow with love and concern.
Rex stares at her crumpled face. He can tell that she has been worrying a lot these days. Her hair is a
little greasy, and her clothes are wrinkled. However, when he thinks that all of this is for his own sake,
he feels incomparably moved.
He wants to raise his hand to embrace her, but even though he uses half of his strength, he does not.
The man’s brows knit even more tightly, and he looks towards his body with his deep eyes, “I … can’t
move.”
As soon as he opens his mouth, his throat starts to ache as if it is on fire. He subconsciously coughs,
but every time his lungs tremble, his face turns pale with pain.
Lily feels painful but doesn’t know how to comfort him.
Karl takes off the oxygen mask and covers his mouth, “Before you faint, you inhaled harmful gases.
There are slight effects on your respiratory tract and lungs. Don’t speak yet.”
After he finishes speaking, he hurriedly observes the data and calls the doctors and nurses behind him
for a series of examinations.
As he moves, Rex watches as his arms and legs are raised and lowered, numb and mechanically
cooperating. The feeling of his body not being dominated makes him feel a little painful.
Lily notices that the man looks away and immediately asks him, “What’s wrong? If your throat hurts,
you can use your eyes to tell me what you need.”
Rex’s gaze is heavy, and he shakes his head in the end, not saying anything.
The ward is very quiet. From time to time, there are doctors communicating with each other. Lily only
has him in her heart, and she is extremely nervous as she waits for the results of the examination.
After Karl finishes reading all the data, he finally heaves a sigh of relief, “Apart from the shadows in his
lungs that need to be examined further, there are no major problems in other areas. After stabilizing for
a while tomorrow, he will be transferred to an ordinary VIP ward. You can rest assured.”
This result is undoubtedly the best for Lily. She looks at Karl gratefully, “Thank you, thank you …”
“Why can’t my body move?” Even though his throat is aching, the man still manages to speak in his
hoarse voice.
“The gas you breathe has three components. They are all volatile. You have stayed in the room for
more than 20 minutes, so the side effects will be greater. Temporary paralysis is also considered one of
them.” Karl raises his hand and looks at his watch, “You can almost get out of bed tonight, but you still
need to recover if you want to walk smoothly.”
Rex just listens. There aren’t much emotional ups and downs, but he seems to be thinking about
something and his eyes lose in though. His indifference surprises the medical staffs behind him.
However, on second thought, such a man is naturally different from an ordinary person.
“You just wake up and need more rest. Call me if you have any questions.” As Karl speaks, he winks at
Lily, “Lily, come out and I’ll tell you a few precautions.”
“Okay.”
The door of the ward is closed, and Karl walks to the end of the corridor of the hospital. Lily follows
behind him. They stand face to face, knowing each other’s hearts.
“Although Rex is awake this time, his body is not as good as before. It will probably take a week for his
body to recover conservatively. That’s good to say, but as the numbness in his body fades away, the
addiction I told you about before will also gradually increase.”
Karl’s isn’t relaxed. Lily realizes the seriousness of the matter, “Brother Karl, don’t worry. I will always
be by his side.”
As for this point, Karl has doubt of it, but … he sees the worry flashing through Lily’s eyes and very
thoughtfully takes the initiative to ask, “Do you have any other questions that you can ask me?”
Lily bites her lip and hesitates for a moment before she says, “I don’t know how to tell him about this.
He’s such a strong person. If he knows about this …”
Speaking of which, she shivers. Karl naturally knows what she was worried about. In fact, he also
doesn’t know what to do. But things already happened, it is useless to say more. It can only take one
step at a time.
“Step by step, let’s make him recover his body first. As for the rest, just stabilize Rex’s mood.”
