During his thirty years of life, apart from when Lily has an accident last time, this is the second time that
Rex feels fooled by life. He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to the woman he loves.
The explosion leaves her with extensive burns. And that's not enough, now her memories are taken
away as well.
The man closes his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. The feeling of losing something he struggles to
hold on to is eating him alive.
When the woman he loves the most looked at him with an indifferent look and asked who he was, he
was heartbroken.
Things go beyond everyone's expectations. Karl has expected many possible outcomes but Lily losing
her memories. This is much more difficult to accept than anything else. No man could bear being
forgotten by the person he loves the most.
"This is punishment." Rex laughed suddenly and opened his dark eyes again. There is self-mockery in
his eyes, "It's God's punishment for me."
Apart from that, he doesn't know what else to describe it.
"Rex, there's still a way. Many patients with psychogenic amnesia can recover their memories through
guidance and treatment."
"She was in too much pain. That was why she tried to avoid feeling hurt by forgetting about me." He
understands what Karl means, and it is because of it that he felt even more tormented. "I don't even
know if I should recover her memories."
"Even if she doesn't want to remember everything else, you're the only one Lily doesn't want to forget,"
Karl reaches out his hand and grasps Rex's shoulder with mixed feelings.
After a stretch of silence, the tall man slouches bit by bit. He seems to be under a weight that he could
not bear, and it's crushing him bit by bit. "Karl, I don't even know what to do..."
If it were something else, he would be confident that he could cure her, He has thought about it
countless times these past few days. Even if Lily couldn't return to her previous state, he wouldn't have
minded it at all. To him, she is more important than anything. But now, the problem he faces has turned
all of his assumptions into a joke.
Karl understands Rex's feelings very well. Mental illnesses are difficult to treat because everyone is
independent. Even if patients could be interfered with and guided, no one knows what the final result
would be. They can only stay positive.
"I know some of the respected neurology and psychiatry specialists. Lily's amnesia is not very rare. I'll
have them come over and diagnose Lily first, and then we'll treat her according to her condition. Of
course, she won't recover overnight. None of us can be sure of how long would it take or what the
outcome would be. We must be ready for the long haul."
Karl's words ignite some of Rex's hope. "I won't give up on her."
"I know." Karl smiles gently. Even if Lily is abandoned by the whole world, Rex would cherish her. The
last thing he would do is giving up on her. "Actually, sometimes it's not necessarily bad that she forgets
everything. Now that she has forgotten about those unpleasant, you can start over. Don't forget that
other than you and her, you still got a kid. The kid is the closest and most inseparable ties between
you."
...
After the brain examination, Lily lies alone in the bed of the ward. The room is quiet. She has been
lying on her stomach for a long time and starts to feel stuffy and dizzy. Not long after, she falls asleep.
She has been asleep from afternoon to night. When she wakes up again, a man beside the bed is
staring at her.
He fixes his eyes on her. There seem to be so many emotions in the man's deep eyes. Lily is startled
by that and frowns. "Why are you still here?"
Rex's heart almost breaks again at her remark. He avoids her gaze and says, "You can't move and I'm
here to take care of you."
'Take care of me?'
The corner of Lily's eyes twitches. His presence here would only unease her more.
Their eyes meet. For a moment, neither of them speaks. Lily watches the man in front of him closely.
Aside from anything else, he has a perfect face. He gets a full forehead, long and narrow eyes. And a
tall nose matches his forehead so well. The joint between his nose and his upper lip has s clear curve.
His thin lips are sexy and beautiful when he purses and parts them. And even the hair on both sides of
his forehead seems to have been cut carefully.
He is very handsome. He is not like those handsome young celebrities or youth. Instead, he has a
natural vibe in him and is extremely dazzling, emitting his charm.
However, the stubble on his chin is somewhat out of place.
It could be seen that he hasn't rested well for many days. He doesn't seem to be energetic, and there
are black circles under his beautiful eyes.
Seeing her staring at his face, Rex feels his heart leaps with hope. He expects she could remember
something, but unfortunately, in the end, his hope is crumbled to nothing.
"You don't need to stay with me. I'll call a nurse if I need anything." Her oxygen mask has been
removed since she woke up. Her voice is a little faint, but it could be heard clearly.
"You can't get out of bed and walk around now. If something happens to you, you don't have time to
ask for help."
"It's fine, I..."
"Lily," Rex interrupts her and says, "I know that you are very unfamiliar with me now, but I must tell you
that I am your husband, the father of your child, and the person who should be with you and take care
of you. Don't try to reject me. Other than that, I'll do whatever you ask me to."
With her current condition, how could Rex leave?
Lily looks at him in surprise at his words, "Husband? Am I married?"
"No."
"And...?"
"We aren't married, but we had a child. The wedding is supposed to be held at the end of the mission,
but such an accident happened." Speaking of which, Rex remembered Adair and asks, "Do you
remember your child?"
Lily is even more surprised. She doesn't know what he is talking about. Facing such a completely
strange face, she feels as if she is listening to someone else's story. She finds it hard to believe and
irrelevant to herself.
Her expression has explained everything. The disappointment in Rex grows heavier, but he forces
himself to calm down. "What do you remember now?"
"Everything. I remember everything. But you say you are my husband, and I have a child ... I don't
remember that."
"What about your parents?"
Lily nods without hesitation, "I remember them."
Rex is silent. In other words, apart from him and Adair, she remembers everything else. Rex doesn't
know whether he should be glad or sad that she happens to forget about them.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I won't force you to remember us. But I will never lie to you.
There is a scar on your abdomen after you gave birth. There's no way to fake it."
As soon as he finishes that, Lily subconsciously wants to touch it. Unfortunately, her upper body is
wrapped in bandages and she couldn't touch it at all.
Seeing her starts to move, Rex stands up anxiously. "Don't move. You are injured."
Lily meets the man's eyes and sees the concern and anxiety clearly in his eyes. This is not something
he could fake. The care and concern he shows towards her prevent her from hardening her heart
against him.
The huge ward is in silence again. The air is somewhat awkward. Lily lies on the bed as thoughts
flashing through her mind. In the end, she asks, "Could you tell me how we met and how we got
together?"
Rex is astonished for a moment. As he recalls everything that has happened in the past, his tense
expression relaxed as tenderness occupied his eyes as if he has endless emotions to express,
"Alright."
