Let's Get Married novel Chapter 304

Shocked by his question, Lily goes blank. This topic is too sensitive and as per what she did before, she is afraid that…

Fortunately, she doesn’t look well during this whole time; otherwise it is only a matter of time before Rex detects her nervousness. She does some calculation in her mind and answers, “At the end of this month. Still couples of days away.”

“How many days?”

“I can’t say for sure. Sometimes it is earlier and sometimes later.” Lily doesn’t want him asking further questions and changes the topic, “Why? Are you afraid that I may hurt?”

“No.” Rex doesn’t know much about such stuff but something is telling him that Lily’s reaction is aberrant. He holds her cold hands and says, “Just go to the hospital with me.”

“I already told you I was fine.” Lily tries to break loose but fails, “It is true. I am not lying to you.”

Among all the other lies she ever came up with in her life, this one is the best and most natural one. Maybe it is the baby who gives her the courage.

“Let’s do a full examination so that I can be reassured.” Rex says and begins dragging her.

Lily frowns and tries to drag her hand back, saying “Rex, I will need an official approval for visiting hospital. Besides, the prison transporter is right outside waiting for me. How do you expect that I can get away without being noticed?”

“I can make some call…”

“You can make some call?” Lily stops him right there and though she is almost on the verge of a confession, still, she says in a tough tone, “I am already convicted of a murder, which makes it hard enough for me to be bailed. Therefore, I need to behave well instead of keeping pulling strings now and then.”

Rex doesn’t let her go but says nothing, as if he were pondering over something.

Feeling so intense that she almost dares not to breathe, Lily looks down and shakes their hands together, saying, “If you still can’t relax over it, then I will submit my application today and go to the hospital tomorrow.”

“I can’t just leave you like this.”

“I won’t keep puking. Besides, there are doctors in jail, too.” Lily knows well that Rex always yields to soft approach but rejects force, asking softly, “Is that okay?”

Rex finds nothing wrong about her except for her pale face, and thinks of what she just said. Finally, he relents and agrees, “Then you must promise to file your application as soon as you get back and go to the hospital tomorrow.”

“Okay, I will do that.” Lily nods her head immediately but dares not to look at his eyes, fearing that she might lose control.

“Tomorrow… Everything may be different tomorrow.”

Now that Rex can’t bail her, she can never reveal the secret of the baby.

They walk out the courthouse together. At the gate, Lily is taken by armed police, with Rex watching from a distance.

The door of the prison transporter is closed and she is now in a different world, where she finds the driver is indeed another person.

This man shapes a short haircut, too, but he looks younger than the one in the morning.

The car starts, and Lily’s heart is shaking with the car, too. Without saying a word and checking out the driver this time, she just sits quietly in the back.

During the way back, the car also travels steadily. Two of them never exchange a word until the car goes through a tunnel.

Everything sounds louder when the car is going through the tunnel. Hearing her heart beating, Lily slightly moves her butt forward and knocks at the steel door between them, takes a deep breath and says, “I would like to use the bathroom.”
