The Return of the Disguised Princess novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 A Bond and a Wall

“I can’t…”

Feeling Rex’s resistance waning, Daron and Tyler silently let go.

“I just can’t…”

Rex covered his face and cried out. A few drops of tears flowed out from the gaps between his fingers.

The others lowered their heads and did not speak. The only sound in the large room was his sobs, which he tried to suppress. Hearing that, the others felt so bad for him.

“I know. I know you can’t. I understand what you are feeling…” Amelie could only silently hold Rex by the shoulder and patted him on the back.

She thought, I have always been the one needing protection and hiding behind my

brothers.

Unexpectedly, I became the one supporting Rex today.

After a while, Rex calmed down a little, but he still looked a little depressed.

“It’s not like there’s no room for maneuver.” Amelie arranged his hospital gown for him, which was wrinkled because of the earlier struggle. “Behave and listen to the doctor. Take rest and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment for rehabilitation,

and I’m sure you will be fine.”

Yet in fact, Amelie was tentative as well.

She thought, the doctor simply didn’t advise him to engage in high–pressure work again. The doctor did not say whether he would recover or how well he would recover.

Even if he does return to work, will he have a relapse?

All of these are unknown questions.

But I’m willing to believe him. Rex has always been outstanding. How can he be so easily defeated by some surgery?

“Really?”

Rex reached out and looked at his palm. Because of long–term training, he had

developed a thick cocoon on his joints.

“Yes!”

Amelie nodded hard. “If you don’t believe me, let’s pinky swear! If you don’t recover, I’ll

be struck by lightning!”

“No! Don’t say that.”

Rex quickly covered her mouth. “I believe you. OK? I believe you.”

Seeing that, the other three were finally relieved.

Aaron coughed and gestured to Amelie with his eyes to the soup and side dishes on the

table.

“Stop being sneaky. I saw you.”

Rex sighed, consciously picked up the bowl on the table, and finished the food.

Seeing that Rex had finished eating, Aaron left since he had something to do.

Then Tyler and Daron left in a hurry, leaving Amelie and Rex in the room.

Rex stood at the window with his coat on and watched the people coming and going below. No one knew what was going on in his mind.

“In fact, you didn’t think it through, right?”

Amelie looked at his lonely back.

She thought, the job is both a bond and a wall between him and his loved ones.

His experiences can be either thrilling or mundane, and he has encountered countless people and things in organizations or on missions. However, because of the special nature of his work, he can’t share them with anyone. Instead, he can only keep them to himself silently and savor them while he is alone.
