Lily tries so hard to turn a blind eye to everything she saw.
She walks back to the bedroom and looks at the empty big bed. Although she's exhausted, she couldn't sleep now.
Lying on the bed, Lily remembers what she has seen in the study. As she thinks of Rex crying silently, she feels so bad as if she's burning in hell.
She is heartbroken for him, but she can't do anything. No one will feel good if he can only see his family dying without being able to do anything.
Although Rex seems to be respectful for Adonis and does not show much intimacy, Lily knows that he's always thinking about his family. He has never been an indifferent man.
However, life never runs smoothly for him. It's unfair that he's always under pressure.
Lily just wishes that she could share the pain with him.
As time passes by, the night is advanced and the sun rises. Rex stays in the study room and Lily lies in the bedroom. But both of them cannot sleep. Rex opens the door to the bedroom at five o'clock in the morning.
Lily immediately closes her eyes when she hears him. She's afraid that he would find her awake, so she covers half of her face with the quilt.
Rex takes off his coat and takes a shower before getting on bed. He has been smoking all night, and he smells. He's worried that Lily would feel uncomfortable.
Even when he's so sad, he still cares about her.
Rex lies on the bed and turns to look at Lily. She seems to be sleeping soundly and breathing calmly.
Fortunately, she stays by his side. If she weren't around, Rex wouldn't know how to face these things.
Every time he comes out of the hospital, he feels like carrying a heavy load on his back. He gags on the charnel stench of the place and he couldn't breathe. Only when he sees Lily would he get relieved.
These days, she has never been depressed or given up. Rex knows that she's sad too. She just does not want to show it to him. So, she hides all the pressure and digests it by herself.
Rex feels bad that she becomes so obedient and sensible, but he doesn't have the energy to comfort her.
He lives with a heavy heart. He's so tired that it would take a lot of effort to say something. How could he just tell him not to worry?
"I'm sorry."
Rex speaks in a deep voice. After he smokes all night, his voice turns hoarse.
He's sorry for making her going through this with him; he's sorry that the omnipotent Rex in the daytime can only leave her a fragile back at night.
Rex stands up and puts his hands on one side of her body. Then he bends down and lightly kisses on her forehead. He says softly before leaving, "Good night."
...
