Let's Get Married novel Chapter 303

Though she has prepared herself for the news, Lily still can’t help clenching her hands when Rex utters the result.

She gives a faint smile and looks away, saying, “It is already a mercy for someone who committed a murder.”

She understands that he has tried his best.

“Lily…” In deep agony, Rex finds it hard to even say a single word. But still, he has to hold his emotion and keeps saying, “I wanted to bail you, but it just seems so hard right now.”

“Don’t worry. I was prepared for this. This the cost for my ‘caprice’.” When the on-court confession happened, she already knew what would be waiting for her.

They look at each other, both deeply suffering. Two lovebirds are torturing each other. Though every single cell in their body is crying for another’s love, reality comes in and shatters everything.

“I have been trying to pull some strings. But this event has brought too much social attention, so no one dares to respond right now. Just wait until everything cools down, and I promise you it won’t be too long.”

Lily stares at the man standing before her. Because of the lawsuit, Rex is not the same man he used to be. He is now full of angst, worry, sadness and weakness, which should never appear on someone like him. On the thought of this, Lily is eaten by guilt and her heart breaks.

He used to be tough and confident. He shouldn’t become like this for her.

Heavy-hearted, Rex reaches out for the pack of cigarette inside his suit. He took out one cigarette and is ready light it before Lily stops him.

Rex looks up, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Although she always dislikes him smoking, she seldom stops him on the spot.

Worrying about the child she is carrying, Lily looks at the cigarette and then him, saying naturally, “Don’t smoke too much, since you have already been coughing recently.”

Just for this reason?

With that, Rex removes the cigarette from his mouth. However, before Lily can relieve, he puts it back his mouth again, with lighter in hand, saying, “I don’t feel well recently, so I need this.”

He doesn’t have other bad habits. Only smoking can somehow clear his mind.

Meanwhile, He reaches out to light the cigarette in his mouth.

Fire jumps out and light the cigarette, with smoke soon drifting aloft. At this moment, he even looks more charming.

Rex squints his eyes and breathes in heavily, enjoying this moment of relief.

Smoke emerges from the nose tip of the man, floating around Lily.

The smell is not even intense and she used to be fine with it. But right now, she is more repulsive to it than ever.

Smelling the strains of smoke, Lily feels like she has inhaled a mouthful of tobacco tar which is sticking in her stomach and making her sick and disgusted.

At first, she can hold her sickness, but with time passing, the smell gets stronger and stronger, along with her sickness.

Gritting her teeth, she tries not to appear aberrant and keeps praying that Rex would finish the cigarette sooner and sooner.

Seconds, minutes keep passing… Seeing the white cigarette at his fingertips getting shorter, Lily is so glad it is almost over.

Suddenly, the sickness in her stomach peaks and flushes onto her throat, causing the physical reaction that she can no longer help.

She rushes to the bathroom, lifts up the toilet seat, half bends on the toilet and begins uncontrollably puking.

“Oh…” She feels her stomach twitching as if it were folded.

She assumes the puke can stop right away, however, it just gets more and more serious. She keeps vomiting even if nothing in her body is left to be puked out. After several retches, her throat hurts like it were burnt by fire.

Shocked by her reaction, Rex is blank for several seconds. When he comes to himself, the woman in the bathroom has already been sitting on the ground.

He strides upon and pulls her from the ground, with care all over his eyes. He asks, “What happened?”

Lily wants to say she is fine, but as soon as she opens her mouth, sickness is all she feels.

“Oh…” She keeps puking for a long while. With almost nothing in her stomach, she begins puking out gall.

With sickness slowly fading away, she says in a weak voice, “I …I am fine.”

“You call this fine?” Frowning his eyebrows, Rex feels a mixture of pity and anger. He hates seeing her suffering, but he also hates that she can’t even look after herself well. Rex says in a slightly harsh voice, “Then you tell me what’s called ‘not fine’?”

It can’t be told if it is because she feels wronged or she pukes too hard, Lily’s eyes go red, which makes her look even paler. Though Rex is worrying, how can he say anymore harsh words at such a sight?

“Can you still stand up?” Rex opens his mouth and asks softly.

Lily props her elbows upon edges of the toilet and slowly stands up. With his help, S\she manages to get to the sink, turns on the tap and cleans her mouth with water, trying to force the sickness down.

Rex extracts tissue and tenderly wipes water from the corners of her mouth. Watching her pale little face, Rex darkens his eyes and says, “Go to the hospital with me.”

Lily is struck, saying, “What?”

“I said, go to the hospital with me.”

“No.” She doesn’t even think and directly refuses. How can she go to the hospital under such state? If she did, her pregnancy wouldn’t be a secret anymore.

“I am not discussing with you.” The man goes tough. He treats everything about her seriously.

“I ate wrong things yesterday, and I only puked once today. It is not a big deal.” Lily says while avoiding Rex’s eyes.

Rex squints at her and asks thoughtfully, “What have you eaten?”

“Lettuce, tofu, pumpkin and a bowl of soup.” Lily dares not lie and literally names what she had yesterday afternoon for fear that Rex might ask someone to find out whether she is telling the truth, “Maybe the pumpkin went bad and made me sick.”

Lily extracts another tissue and wipes her mouth, trying to cover her nervousness. She can feel Rex’s observant, searing eyes even not looking up.

“When was your last period?”

He recalls that she feels uncomfortable every time she goes through a period, but recently…
