"I won't allow you to say that about yourself!" What Lily says is undoubtedly breaking Rex's heart. He raises his voice as if to wake her up. "We've gone through so many bad things, but because of these unhealed scars, are you going to give up?"
"I also don't want to give up, but..." She starts to chock and can't continue.
"Believe me. Believe Karl. He will help you through. Everyone is waiting for you. Don't you want to see Adair as soon as possible?"
Speaking of Adair, Lily finally has a slight reaction. Although she doesn't remember where this child has come from, her heart trembles every time someone mentions him. That indescribable emotion always makes her somewhat uncontrollably excited. Subconsciousness never lies.
She almost forgets that she's a mother.
Rex heaves a sigh of relief as she has some reactions. "Lily, this is not our life. It's just because you need to get the treatment that we're staying here. When you are confident enough that your recovery will not be too slow, we will be ready to return to our original life."
Ever since she was kidnapped by Hawk, their life has been completely disrupted. Now that the case is over, the only thing they need to wait for is for her to recover. As for the rest, as long as they return to China, it'll be better and better.
Lily gradually calms down. She doesn't feel so annoyed and doesn't resist as violently as just now. She sits quietly by the bed and looks out the window. Looking at the lush forest and grass in the park not far away, as well as the patients who are walking. Rex knows that she needs to stay alone and calm herself down, so he decides to stay outside the ward door.
When Karl and Sally come to change the dressing, they see him sitting in the corridor of the ward. Karl winks at Sally, then the latter takes the medicine and enters the ward. After she comes in, the two men look at each other at the door.
"Kicked out?" Karl teases with resignation.
"When she saw the scar on her body, she cried loudly. She is in a very down mood." Rex's hands rest on his knees, his fingers on his nose, and his voice's filled with overwhelming exhaustion.
Karl's a little surprised, but he also feels that it within his expectations. After a long time, he says, "Somehow she will now."
"Karl, all of a sudden, I don't know what to do." Rex says in a low voice, with an expression showing his exhaustion and sadness, "She can't remember anything about me and her. No matter what I say, she doesn't seem to understand."
Karl feels the same way as him. Facing the difficulties, the most important thing for the couple is to support each other and give each other confidence. But now Lily doesn't remember things about Rex, what makes Rex unable to know what to do.
But...
"Rex, although her memory loss will make her temporarily forget you, this memory will not completely disappear. Humans value emotions. In her subconscious, you are still the person she trusts the most." Karl raises his hand and pats his shoulder. Suffering for such a long time, he has lost a lot of weight, and his shoulder seems to be narrower. "She's at her most confusing moment now. You must hold on."
If the two of them lose their confidence, then no matter how superb his medical skills are, they won't get a good result.
After all, Lily's a patient, and her endurance is limited. She needs a very strong will and the support of the people around her to get through it. What he worries most was that Rex would also lose his confidence.
Fortunately, Rex doesn't mean to give up. After Karl tells him that, he stands up and follows him into the ward.
For an instant, Karl heaves a sigh of relief. However, looking at the door of the ward, he can't relax anymore. After all these years of being a doctor, this should be the most anxious treatment he has ever conducted. He hopes that Lily and Rex, who have suffered a lot will never experience any pain again.
Looking at his small shoulders, small body, and the voice that speaks of longing but lowered, Abby feels heartbroken.
"Don't you video with your parents every day?"
Adair nods, "But I want to see them face to face. I want them to take me to school and have a meal with me like before."
Adair grows up under the care of Lily. He has a childhood that lacks fatherly love, so he's well-behaved and sensible, and more sensitive than his peers. It's not long since the three of them lived a happy life together that they have to be separated again. He's just six years old, and he must also be really sad about that.
Abby feels so sorry about him, as she grabs the little hands he places on the table. "Mom and dad have to deal with some things. If it wasn't for that, they must have come back to see you. They really miss you."
"Really?" Adair sympathetically curls his lips, resisting the urge to cry, "I'm afraid they will abandon me..."
"No, of course not!" Abby feels so sorry for this little boy as if her heart is stabbed by something, "They definitely won't abandon you. Your parents love you the most."
"Then why don't they come to see me?"
Abby does not know how to explain it to him. She can only say, "Adair, everyone has their own responsibilities. Apart from being your parent, your father is a barrister. He also needs to help others."
