After being rejected by Rex, the captain knows that it's almost impossible for Rex to work with them
again.
But just as he is about to give up hope, he is surprised to receive a call from Rex two days later. Rex
says that he could help them only when Lily is coming with him.
The captain has no idea why Rex changes his mind, but no matter what, it's good news for them. He
tells his leader the news immediately and replies to Rex after receiving the approval.
Rex has taken two whole days to make such a decision. As a decisive man, he was put off by such a
simple decision and thought about it again and again.
Finally, he makes up his mind to take Lily with him.
There are many things that couldn't be avoided even if they want to. Since that's the case, he shouldn't
run away from it anymore. Perhaps what Karl said is right, facing the difficulties head-on is one of the
solutions.
He hopes that Lily would remember him again. No man wants his beloved woman to forget everything
about him. Although the process would be painful, Karl has promised him that she would be safe.
Because of the wounds, it's inconvenient for Lily to move. But as a felon, Hawk is forbidden to be
outside the detention area. As a result, the police decide to transport Hawk to another police station
closer to the hospital.
It's only ten minutes' drive from the hospital to where Hawk is. On that day, Karl has the hospital send
the best medical vehicles for Lily. Although the wounds of her back have healed and formed scabs, Lily
still needs to be careful. If the scabs break, she may be infected.
Karl personally escorts her over, keeping a close eye on the entire journey in case of any accidents.
Fortunately, she arrives safely.
Lily is wheeled off the car and pushed into the soundproof observation room outside the interrogation
room. She couldn't sit or lie down, and could only lie on her stomach. Fortunately, the height of the
mobile medical bed is adjustable to make her more comfortable.
Karl keeps an eye on her condition, "If you're uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Before she goes out, she is put on an antibacterial suit. Although it's very breathable, he is still worried
that the wounds would be affected.
Lily is a little awkward at his meticulous care. "Doctor, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Rex follows the captain into the interrogation room. In the small room, there is only a table, two chairs,
and the incandescent lamp, which is hanging above them. There is nothing else.
Rex pulls up the chair in front of the table and sits down. Behind him stand two police officers
responsible for monitoring his behavior. Rex doesn't care about them and waits for the person opposite
the table to arrive with a poker face.
Not long after, the other door of the room opens. Before he could see Hawk, there comes the sound of
heavy shackles rubbing against the ground.
Soon, a familiar figure emerges. Hawk is in a gray-blue prison uniform with ill-fitting long sleeves and
trousers. A heavy chain fastens his wrists, and so do his feet. The chain is not long, so he has to move
in small steps.
His hair was long before he went to prison. He hasn't had his hair cut for half a month, so it's a mess on
top of his head and face. He looks like a shabby prisoner, but when the man sees Rex, he forms a
weird smile.
"Nice to see you again."
He greets Rex briskly. If it isn't for the wrong time and place, it seems like he's meeting an old friend.
Rex's icy gaze lands on the face he hates so much. "You've asked several times just to see me."
"Yes." Hawk raises his hands and spreads them aside while the chain let out another ear-piercing
sound. "I do want to see you. Unfortunately, these rigid policemen wouldn't let me."
"Sit down!" Behind him, the police officer points at his shoulder and forces him to sit in a chair.
Hawk stretches out his hand and pulls up his trousers, revealing a few pitch-black scars on his skinny
ankle. "People here are very hospitable, especially towards the newcomers."
Rex casts a glance at that and mocks coldly, "You should be glad that you ended up in the prison.
Otherwise, you will only be a hundred times more miserable than you are now."
"I know you want me dead, but as a saying goes, a bad thing never dies. I'm born to give you a hard
time." Hawk doesn't mind describing himself like that. He knows where he is and doesn't care about the
so-called dignity.
Out of his expectation, Rex sneers and shakes his head at his comments. The hatred in his eyes is so
dark and intense. "No, you will die soon."
Hawk's smile freezes. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly bursts into laughter as if he has
heard some hilarious joke. He laughs so hard that tears gather at the corner of his eyes.
"You're killing me with that. I can't stop laughing..."
Rex looks at him coldly as if he is looking at a piece of meat without any emotion. Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad. This is a perfect line to describe Hawk.
"People are going to die sooner or later. If I were afraid of death, I would not be alive today. Besides..."
Hawk pauses for a short while before he looks at Rex in the eye with an ugly expression, "I don't die
alone."
Rex knows very clear who Hawk is referring to. His black eyes are filled with bloodshot when he thinks
of the enormities this monster has committed.
Hawk watches Rex's stiff, unsightly face with his smug faded and his brows high. He bends over the
table, leans closer, and asks in a hoarse, low, and somewhat eerie voice, "Is she dead?"
Rex remains unmoved. Compared to Hawk's loud laughter and theatrical performances, Rex looks like
an indifferent outsider, even though he has tried all he could to stay calm.
Is she dead?
Rex calmly sizes up Hawk's micro expression and notices the corner of his lips twitches after he
finishes asking the question. He also notes the slight shaking of Hawk's pupils, as well as bulged veins
on the sides of his neck.
Through the analysis of his expressions, Rex knows that Hawk cares about the answer to the question,
and he cares about it so much that he's almost uneasy.
Rex looks down and grits his teeth with force. Although it's a lie, it's still so hard for him to speak it out
loud. He pauses for a long time before saying, "With such a powerful bomb, not to mention a human
body, even a rock would have been blown up. Or do you believe in miracles?"
Hawk's body tenses up at the answer. Even the police officer standing behind him senses his tension
and walks over immediately in case Hawk would lose control.
Hawk knows exactly where the bomb is tied to Lily's body because he has personally done it. Once it is
detonated, she couldn't survive...
