"Be careful!"
Rex's heart seems to be in his mouth. He stretches out his hand and pulls the frightened Lily into his
arms as the car narrowly misses her.
The black Volkswagen has no signs, nor does it even have a license plate. It's obvious that someone
has been waiting here for a long time. Thus, it's not just an accident.
Rex's face instantly darkens. He holds Lily's hands tightly, being afraid that Lily will disappear if he
doesn't pay attention.
In pain, Lily looks up at his tense chin. She does not understand why he's so nervous, thinking it's just
an accident. "I'm fine."
Rex doesn't say anything. He sweeps around the parking lot and finally fixes his eyes at the
conspicuous spot where the car parked just now. It's directly opposite Rex's car. That person intends to
warn and irritate Rex by using such a method.
'Even in front of me, they dare to hurt Lily.'
Lily looks at Rex who puts on an angry expression in doubt. She slightly moves her arm, which is hurt.
"Rex, what's wrong with you?"
He doesn't say anything, but directly pulls her into his arms and walks towards the elevator entrance.
Lily is puzzled for a while. As he pulls her, she's a little unsteady on her feet. "What's wrong with you?
Aren't we going to have dinner?"
The man remains silent. His eyes overflow with malevolence. Only then does Lily realize how terrifying
the aura around Rex is. Just as he is about to take her into the elevator, Lily suddenly stops and says,
"Rex, what happens?"
"I'm not feeling well."
Lily's shocked. "Now?"
He was fine just now. Why does he suddenly feel unwell?
"I had a headache. I feel worse now after being scared by you." Since she still wants to ask, Rex bluffs
her by citing his previous illness. "It may also be related to the fact that I haven't taken the drugs on
time recently."
Sure enough, his words soon catch Lily's attention. "Why? Karl instructed that you must take them on
time."
"Recently, I've been too busy with the case. I'll make it up later."
Although Lily is anxious, she has to follow him back to the hotel. Rex doesn't relax until he enters the
room.
After taking the medicine as Lily tells him, Rex sends Lily away and asks her to take a bath. He
pretends to order food and calls the police. "Ask people to protect me. Someone followed me just now
and almost caused an accident."
Across from the hotel, Hawk is hiding behind one of the bright windows. He can't help but be excited
when his subordinate tells him what has just happened.
When Hawk hears that Rex is extremely nervous, he is surprised. "I don't expect that a woman will
become Rex's weakness. What a pity!"
In Hawk's eyes, it's simply a joke. Hawk never loves anyone, let alone a woman. Now that Rex's
obvious weakness is exposed in front of him, it will only amuse Hawk.
"Hawk, aren't you afraid of being discovered if you follow Rex like this?" Bagot is a little worried. Hawk
impulsively asks someone to threaten Rex, the latter will definitely be vigilant.
Hawk doesn't respond. Instead, he stares at the opposite hotel window for a long time. He then picks
up the binoculars at the side. Unfortunately, against the curtains, he only sees blurry light.
"Bagot, I suddenly don't want to stop like this," he abruptly says, which astonishes Bagot.
Bagot is afraid that Hawk will act on impulse. "Hawk, you need to calm down."
"I'm very calm." He puts down the binoculars. At the thought of Lily, he smiles involuntarily. "I want to
know what Rex's bottom line is."
"Hawk!"
"Stop." The man puts his finger on his lips, his brown eyes as sly as a lizard's. "Rex always goes
beyond the limit of my patience. It's my turn."
...
That night, Rex and Lily have dinner at the hotel's revolving restaurant. For fear that Rex will feel
unwell, Lily stops asking him to go shopping anymore. When he sleeps, Rex hugs her tightly, as if he
wants to embed her into his body.
The next morning, Lily wakes up before eight o'clock. Rex is still asleep. Seeing that his shoulders are
exposed, she tucks him in.
The sleeping man is suddenly awoken and grabs Lily's small hand that is hanging in midair.
Lily is shocked and looks at him in doubt, "Have I disturbed you?"
On seeing Lily, Rex relaxes. Last night, he didn't dare to sleep soundly, afraid that something
unexpected would happen in the middle of the night. This kind of conditioned reflex is caused by his
high level of nervousness.
With bloodshot eyes, Rex pulls Lily back into his embrace and says, "Sleep a little longer."
Lily understands that he is usually busy with his work, so she lets him lie in. But she isn't sleepy, thus,
she takes out her phone to look at the wedding scene design.
She has decided on two main colors, yellow and blue. The entire venue will be decorated with yellow
and blue items. Blue is her favorite color, while yellow is Rex's. She has been worrying that these two
colors won't match. But it appears to be quite fresh and bright.
Lily is looking at her phone when she receives a new email. She casually opens it, which is sent by a
foreign man named Oden. The content is very simple. Oden's company accepts her offer. For a long-
term cooperation, Lily needs to meet and talk with him.
Lily is a little surprised, not expecting things to go so smoothly. She then answers Oden's email that
she can meet him when she returns from a business trip tomorrow.
Perhaps she is too immersed in the email that Rex couldn't help but look up. He glances at the ordinary
email, only to find an English name. "Oden? Since when you have a foreign client?"
Lily is shocked by Rex's question. "Oden came to my shop earlier. Their company needs to make a
purchase, and they think my products are more suitable."
"Purchase?"
"Yes, I told you before that my shop takes this kind of supply order." Finding that he frowns again, Lily
asks, "Rex, have you been too tired lately?"
This is the first time that Lily finds Rex is so sensitive.
Hearing this, Rex knits his brows. He wants to tell her. However, he is afraid that it will not only be
useless but will also make her even more uneasy.
He sits up and doesn't feel sleepy anymore. "Maybe I have been too busy."
Looking at the obvious dark circles under his eyes, Lily feels sorry for him. "I hear that there is a
famous spa here. We can go and relax."
Rex applied for protection last night, so it won't be a problem for them to go out today.
Rex nods in agreement, but what he is thinking has nothing to do with relaxation. He believes that the
indoor activity is better than the outdoor one, and it will be safer to reserve a private room. However, he
never expects he will regret making such a decision the most.
