Let's Get Married novel Chapter 301

It turns out that Karl didn’t threaten her. Rex comes to the hospital on the third day. Though wearing a well-fit suit, he still looks frustrated. Lily’s verdict is still pending, and there are so many things that require discussions. He has been drowning himself in these works recently, which allowed him only three or four hours of sleep a day and almost no rest.

Seeing him like this, Marina feels distressed as well as a bit vexed. Why did he do so much for that woman named Lily?

Casting away his normal life and damaging his health, he dedicated himself to helping her with the case.

Marina has never seen Rex like this, therefore, she envies Lily and hates everything about her.

On top of that, when Rex looks at her now, there is no more care like there was before in those eyes, all they have is disgust.

Despite the fact that he is trying to maintain the balance, but if someone’s mind has changed, those changes, no matter how small they are, will definitely show through the windows of his eyes.

Marina is well aware that Rex blames, or even suspects her on this matter.

Watching the man walking in, Marina stands up at once and reluctantly squeezes out a smile, "Rex, Hi."

In the past, at a moment like this, he always asked how she was doing. Marina once thought they had nothing to chat about other than her health, which used to drown her in sadness.

But it is now that she realizes that wasn’t the worst. Because at this moment, he doesn’t even utter a single word out of concern, but questions her straightforward, "Do you not want to go back to America?"

Meeting him again, she finds that he doesn’t even chat with her like he did before and all left is only conversation with strong purpose.

A bit awkward, Marina strokes the hair beside her ear unnaturally, "Karl didn’t notify me in advance. He suddenly showed up yesterday and asked me to leave. He said it was your idea, I thought..."

"That was indeed my idea. "Rex stopped her, with overflowing impatience in his tone, despite the fact that she has only said a few words, "Would that be a problem?"

Marina can’t help saying, “Rex...”

Widening her eyes with a bit surprise, she looks at the man standing before and falters, "What...What happened?"

"Isn’t it supposed to be me asking the question?" Rex walks a few steps forward and looks down on the woman beside him.

She looks much better than before and her face is even glowing with blush.

Suddenly, Lily’s pale, frustrated face which he saw in jail flashes in his mind, tugging on his heartstrings even more.

It has just been a while, but it is like she and Marina have exchanged their roles. Yet he can do nothing to protect the woman he loves but watches these changes happening.

Every time he sees Marina, he thinks of Lily and everything that has happened to her, which reminds him how useless he is.

Marina is a master in pretending innocence. She looks so confused and says, "Rex, what do you mean?"

"I have already asked George. He said you were now in good condition to be discharged. It is good for you to go back to America; after all, I can’t attend to you 24 hours here in China. But don’t worry, I will arrange professionals to look after you in USA. "

After hearing this, Marina almost begins crying, for it never occurs to her that this man will be so cruel.

Like having lost all her power, she instantly falls and sits on the bed. "Rex, you know I don’t want to leave you. Even if you can’t be here for me, I don’t want to leave you!"

Her tears start bursting out like strings of beads. She goes on, "You know that’s not what I want. I just want to be in the same city that you are in and breathe the same air that you breathe. That’s all that I have ever wanted."

Hearing this, the man’s eyes darken. Something crawls into his mind and he sneers, "Is that true?"

Not giving her the chance to argue, Rex continues, "You know well that you want much more."

After all that has happened, her greed and lust is already laid bare.

"That’s not true!" Marina denies loudly, "I know you are holding grudges against me for the lawsuit. You think I framed Lily. But law is fair. If she didn’t do it, how come she was convicted of crime. I know you love her, but you can’t just leave justice and morality behind for that!"

"Are you talking about justice and morality with me?"

With eyes fixated on her, Rex even wants to laugh.

"Huh," he sneered again. It seems that the coldness in his eyes can frozen the whole world, "Marina,"

All of a sudden, he lowers his voice while still tightening his face, "Don’t ever let me find out what you really did."

Marina feels like her heart is crashed by what Rex said, almost shaking with coldness creeping upon her. Maybe Rex was just trying to fly a kite before, but now he doesn’t even bother to pretend and put all his suspicion and distrust above board.

She moves her eyes and lowers her voice, "Rex, what are you talking about? I have no idea..."

"You better don’t, "Rex doesn’t make further accusation but just stares at her with burning, reproachful eyes," Prepare yourself for the leave, and I am not discussing but informing."

"How can you be so cruel?" Marina doesn’t give up, trying to grab the last straw.

If it were before, Rex might get softhearted. But now he is done with that, "Save your tears. They disgust me."

Disgust...

Watching her weeping so sadly, he dares to say he feels disgusted by her like she is some piece of garbage.

Marina clenches her fists, saying, "Now that I am well, there is no need for me to leave. Besides, my parents were buried in City J, so I can’t leave even for their sake."

Who knows when she would be able to come back once she leaves this time.

"I almost forgot, "Rex sneers again, "During all the time you are here, you didn’t even go to the cemetery for once. "

"..."Backfired, Marina gets nervous and instantly turns her head away, "I was planning to... in a couple of days..."

"A month", Rex gives an order, "You have a month. A month later, no matter how well or sick you are, you should come back to America."

Dropping the final words, he turns around and walks away, feeling sick to be here for just one more second.

Marina is pushed to the brink and shouts, "Why! Why are you doing this to me! How could you!"
