Let's Get Married novel Chapter 597

On Lily’s third day back, after picking up the pieces, she finally decides to meet the people she should have met a long time ago.

The first stop on the journey is her parents’ place. Although she has lost part of her memory, this has little effect on her memories toward her parents.

Her car stops downstairs in the RED community. From the moment she gets off the car, Rex takes her hand. This old residential building has no lift. They go up to the fifth floor on foot. Standing outside the familiar door, she hesitates for a few seconds, and then she raises her hand and presses the doorbell.

Before the door opens, she hears Bree’s anxious voice from inside, “Who is it, coming, coming…”

As she finishes her last ‘coming’, the closed-door is pushed open from the inside. As the door slowly opens, the familiar figure gradually comes into Lily’s view.

Before they arrive, they did not inform Bree in advance, as they were afraid that she would change her mind. Therefore, they didn’t want to alarm her parents.

At the moment, on the two sides of the door, the two people’s eyes meet. When Lily looks at Bree, whose hair has turned white in just a few months, her tears immediately flow out, “Mum…”

After hearing Lily calling her, only does Bree believe that the person in front of her is not her illusion. She stands frozen in place. After Lily comes forward and hugs her, only does she dares to believe that this is not her illusion.

“Li, Lily?” she looks as if she can’t believe it. She raises her arms and hugs Lily tightly, keeps on patting on her back with her hand that is full of calluses, “What took you so long to get back, your father and I were so worried...”

“I’m sorry, mum, I’m sorry…” her tears fall freely. She doesn’t know what else she can say except apologies.

Harry also hurries to the door when he hears the voices. Seeing the mother and daughter embracing and crying, the man who is not good at expressing feelings also can’t help but cries, “So glad that you’re back, so glad that you’re back!”

“Come in and let mum have a good look at you,” Bree says while pulling her into the house.

When she walks into the living room, everything is still the same as it had been before. Lily feels a little more at ease. She sits on the sofa with a cup of hot tea handed over by Bree, starts to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

“You haven’t been back for so long. Phone calls and texts are also few and far between. What have you been up to?” Mothers always worry about their children. Even though Lily is now in front of her eyes, she still starts to question her.

Luckily, before they arrive, Rex had already taught her how to answer them.

She is not a good liar. Even though they are white lies, she feels extremely guilty when she looks into Bree’s aged eyes.

Therefore, when she says this, she deliberately avoids Bree’s eyes. She lowers her head and takes a sip of hot tea from her cup, “We went to investigate a case about transnational smuggling, and it’s an order from the higher-ups that the details cannot be disclosed. Contacting people during this period also needs permission. So most of the time, it’s not that I don’t want to be in touch. It’s just that there are demands from the higher-ups that I have to follow.”

“Transnational smuggling case?” Bree’s expression changes after she hears that, “Isn’t that dangerous? Lily, you’re a mother now, you’re not alone like before now. When you do anything, you have to consider your family and children, you…”
