Let's Get Married novel Chapter 563

Two weeks pass in a blink of an eye. During which, Rex keeps staying in the ward without leaving. He has moved almost half of his possessions in the ward. The Y Hospital is not as good as Karl's Hospital. It is a public hospital and Rex is not allowed to do so at first. But because of the special patient and Karl, the hospital manager has no choice but to give way to Rex and let him do whatever he wants.

Lily's burn treatment is as troublesome as expected. Although under Karl's control, the wound doesn't have an infection or other complications, just recovering from the burn is painful enough.

Karl introduces an autogenous skin regeneration technique. It is an injectable treatment. He injects a solution from his lab into her wound. Each injection is five milligrams. In other words, a total of fifteen needles would be needed to inject all the wounds on her back.

At first, Lily doesn't feel any pain because the burn is so severe that her nerves are numb. But as the treatment progresses, the nerves are activated and she starts to feel pain. The needle is two centimeters long and every time Lily has to bite the towel to endure the agony.

Rex is suffering, too. He watches her as she receives the injection. The scene is so shocking. For many times, he looks away when the needle is halfway through her. But he could not help but look back when he hears her low cries of pain.

After the injection is completed, the solution began to work under her skin. It helps her skin to recover and regenerate itself, but the side effect is that it's extremely itchy.

Lily remembered that one year, she had urticaria. At that time, her entire body was covered in large red lumps. Those lumps were first light red, but they slowly turned purple, and that was when it itched the most. She had to apply an antipruritic ointment to stop herself from scratching it.

But now, the itch is several times stronger than the urticaria. It is a kind of itch that slowly emitted from her inner skin at all times. She could not apply any antipruritic. Otherwise, the solution wouldn't work.

The pain is unbearable, and the itch is even worse.

When the itch reaches a certain degree, her body goes cold as goose bumps crowd on her skin. The clinical reaction is only half an hour, but she feels as if half a year has passed.

Rex could do nothing but watch helplessly.

For several times, he has suggested that the injection should be stopped. He is well-prepared. It doesn't matter to what extent she could recover. He doesn't want her to experience such pain while he can do nothing about it.

Lily doesn't know what her back looks like. Although everyone keeps avoiding talking about it, she knows it must not look good.

It must be extremely ugly, otherwise, why doesn't anyone tell her about it?

One day, a police captain comes to the hospital with his subordinates to look for Rex and ask questions about the case. Rex doesn't want Lily to hear about it and leaves the ward.

"Keep it short. I don't have that much time." He looks at them coldly and says in an unfriendly tone.

The officers come with the captain have no idea about the details of the incident or Rex's identity and are displeased with Rex's attitude. Just as they're about to talk back to Rex, his boss stops them.

"Hawk is arrested, but he refuses to confess his crime. Although we have plenty of evidence, some of it doesn't match his statement. The interrogation has gone on for days with no progress and he has always made a request." At this point, the captain pauses and looks at Rex hesitantly.

Rex sneers. "You're here now. What's holding you back?"

The captain turns his face away and points his tongue at the inside of his mouth. His cheeks bulge out. He looks at Rex again and said, "He wants to see you."

Rex laughs at that but in a cold way. "He has been arrested, and the suspects and evidence related have also been secured. Any of his crimes would be enough to get him the death penalty. And now you're telling me, there's nothing you can do?"

"There is a way, but his testimony and the information he is holding back are crucial to the sentencing of others."
