Let's Get Married novel Chapter 277

Lily is taken away by the police.

Karl has just finished a major operation when he heard the news. He rushes to the office without changing his surgical gown. Sure enough, he sees Rex sitting on the sofa in a daze and smokes heavily.

He hurries over and grabs the man’s collar, “What’s going on!?”

Rex seems to be choked with smoke, he coughs violently until his eyes are flushing, and then disperses the smoke away. His voice is hoarse, “Lily called them.”

Karl’s pupils are dilated in surprise, his body stiffening for a while. Finally, he dumps the person back on the sofa madly, “I said I can take it. Did you guys not believe me?”

Rex forced a smile, helplessly, “She insisted and was afraid of affecting us.”

“...” Expected answer yet unexpected sadness.

Karl knows Lily, and also knows how powerful that the seeming weak-woman made such a decision. He is not surprised. However, hearing such result makes him uncomfortable.

In his heart, he has long acknowledged Lily as a member of this group.

And things will not go smoothly that Lily was taken away under this situation.

“You didn’t stop her? How can you let her go? Did your brain go blank?” He does not believe Rex did not consider the stakes.

“Karl, you don’t know how willful she was. Lily did not tell me until she called the police, what could I do…” Rex says as he bents down, his elbows on his knee, burying his face in his palms.

A warm flow of tears streams down between his fingers. How long has it been since the last time he cries? He even forgets the last time he cried. All he remembers is that heartache is difficult to heal, which is really too painful.

Looking at the sorrowful Rex, Karl could not complain anything more. He is deeply moved that the woman had made a choice that a man does not even dare.

“It must not be her.”

Rex does not move and stays still, absent-minded.

Karl lifts Rex up, his misty eyes are calm yet horrible, “She believes you that she goes to the police station. Rex, cheer up. There are many things you need to do. You cannot fail her trust!”

“I can’t….” He smiles bitterly and repeats, “I can’t.”

“I know you’re hurt—” Karl swallowed hard, as there is also an inexhaustible depression in his chest, “Brace yourself. You’ve gone through many storms and waves before. This is the same!”

Regarding Lily’s affairs, Rex has never been sensible. Karl is really afraid that Rex will be defeated. Therefore, he must remind Rex again and again!

Yes, he cannot fall apart. Lily is still waiting for him.

Rex seems to be enlightened. But soon, he becomes upset again, “Karl, I have no clue, I don’t know where to start…”

He has never been a weak man. This man is tough and competitive. He seldom bluntly speaks out his inability.

Karl frowns, “What clues do you want?”

“The murderer is not Lily. Who do you think it will be?” He cruelly puts this question up, “Marina?”

What should he choose? One is his close family, the other his beloved one.

“Rex, I’m saying this as your buddies.” Karl says in a mixed feeling, “Based on Marina’s current condition, it is not impossible for her to do outrageous acts…”

“But that’s her grandmother.” Rex interrupts him, “If it is someone else, I may believe it. But Melly is her grandma.”

Rex cannot know clearer what Melly meant for Marina. Melly was Marina’s last living family, and she will be alone without Melly.

Karl is speechless for a while. He believes Lily. But before things are finalized, no one dares to boast about it. Thus, he can only comfort Rex, “Let’s cooperate with the police to look into the monitor first to investigate Marina’s call record and her usual movement. I don’t believe that the poison will appear in the ward for no reason. The evidence will emerge sooner or later unless Marina has psychic powers.”

Rex looked down for a long time without speaking. The low-pressure breath entangled on him strongly. But fortunately, he finally eases his mind, “Bring me all the footage of Marina’s floor.”

Karl learns that Rex still has his sense and becomes happy, “Okay, no problem!”

Rex clenches his fists, his red eyes with fighting spirits. He will surely find the flaw and proves Lily’s innocence.
