After leaving the coffee shop, Lily takes a taxi to the hotel without looking back. Once the door opened, all dangers are cut off behind. She looks at Abby who has fallen asleep at the sofa without changing her clothes, which put her at ease.
Afraid of waking her up, she walks to the bathroom and unscrews the tap. With the sound of whirling water in the background, she cries again.
She doesn’t dare to cry loudly, which make her suppress herself. Thinking of what happened just now, she desperately misses someone at this moment.
The man who will rescue her from every crisis, the man who give her a second chance to live a good life.
She suddenly panics. Will Rex really leave her this time?
Will he… not even find her at all?
Lily dares not to think deeply, for fear that she would collapse with such an assumption.
Tim’s traitor has made her very cautious to deal with feelings. Therefore, the moment Jade answered the phone and the moment she receives the photo, she is completely defeated.
All she wants is only a person that she love, can love her as well, why is it so difficult?
Lily misread, she just prays not to see him so soon, yet hopes that he could find herself at the same time.
To be honest, she already loves him, but is unaware of it.
…..
When Rex receives a news about Lily, it is already the third day. After checking various information of Lily, he even finds the boarding information of Abby.
She was in the same flight with Lily, and also checked-in in a luxurious hotel at that day.
After checking with the staff of the hotel, the two of them indeed check in for a suite.
After confirming the location, Rex has been fully working for the past two day. He doesn’t sleep nor eat well. Besides working time, the person is a bit distressed.
The directors of the company are even depressed when facing their president. A few of them are scolded badly.
After Joe informs Rex, the man spontaneously booked the nearest flight. There is no more neither first-class nor business class ticket, and also there is no more time to charter a plane, then economy class it goes.
Before he goes, Karl puts aside his feelings and deliberately drops by Rex’s Villa.
As soon as he enters the Villa, he smells a strong smell of smoke. Even him who occasionally smokes, couldn’t stand of the smoke and coughs twice, “Are you going to burn the house?”
Inside the living room, the man sits in the sofa without looking back. He could feel the fatigue and anxiety just by looking at his back.
When Karl walks over, the crystal ashtray on the table is full with cigarette butts. There is no soot left behind the cigars, and the amount is terrifying.
“Do you still want your lungs?” Karl is a little mad, he reaches out to take the cigarette from his hand but is avoided.
“I didn’t have any energy if I didn’t smoke.”
Just a few words, and Karl’s expression is tense. He then shouts his full name, “Rex, if you keep on like this, even if she isn’t found yet, you will be death first!”
Rex shakes his head and chuckles, “it doesn’t matter, as long as I can found her.”
Karl explodes and speaks without measuring his words, “Is it worth to be like this just because of a woman?”
“It’s worth.” The man raises his vision to meet his gaze, the black pupils are really dark, he hasn’t sleep well for the past three days two night, which make him extremely tired, “Because she’s worth.”
Karl is shocked by his stubbornness and seriousness in the eyes, since when is he so crazy for a person?
Is this man in front of him is still the man who consider every value before doing anything?
No, he’s not.
