Let's Get Married novel Chapter 311

Lily dazes when she hears the reply. Her pale face gets even paler. Ireland, what a far city for her.

It could be thousands of miles away from here.

Ryan notices her expression, even the smallest changes, “Feeling heavy-hearted? We can still go back if you want. The plane is still within the border.”

Lily remains silent. She stares at blank space, without any focal point in her eyes.

Everything she says about letting go and leaving is just a white lie. She is the only one who knows what she had been through in this relationship. Her bond with Rex is so strong, it has all been imprinted in her brain but…

Lily places her hand on her stomach. A new life in lying under there, and it comes from Rex and her.

The atmosphere in the cabin remains silent and tense. Escaping from death is already as hard as it could be. Now they will need to face the fear of the unknown.

The door of the cabin opens and a dark shadow walks in. Lily is immediately alerted and looks at the direction of the door. She sees a familiar face. It’s the guy who helped her to escape earlier.

Lily is surprised to see his face again, “Why are you here?”

She looks at Ryan, then at that man again. Soon she realizes this man is no stranger to Ryan.

The man puts away his straight face, nods his head and says, “Good Day, Ms. Lily. It’s a pleasure to meet you again.”

Seeing this man again after the horrible incident before makes Lily nervous. Her hands are covered with a layer of sweat. Then, she recalls the way he protected her when they were underwater. She asks, “A-Are you alright?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lily. I’m fine.”

Lily nods. She didn’t know how to carry on this conversation, “Great. Thanks for your help.”

Ryan laughs when he hears what Lily said, “Why didn’t I get a thank-you too for helping you out?”

Lily turns away and remains silent, pretending she didn’t hear what Ryan said.

Ryan doesn’t continue teasing her either. He walks to the man, pats his shoulder and officially introduces him, “This is Ray from Malaysia. He’s my bodyguard.”

Lily understands everything right away. No wonder Ryan trusts him on the task to rescue her. He is a reliable person for him as well - one he could trust with his life.

She recalls the way he put in good words for Ryan when they are in the prison bus. She tells Ryan, “You have a great bodyguard.”

Ryan immediately admits, “That’s true.”

“Mr. Ryan, do we fly directly to Ireland?” Ray walks over and asks.

Ryan turns to Lily, he covers her thin and weak body with the Cashmere blanket lying beside, “Have you decided?”

Lily lowers her head. The sourness in her nose gushes and turns into tears when she thinks about leaving. She holds her tears and says, “I won’t regret.”

Precisely, there’s no turning back for her. From when she made the decision to jump out of that bus, there was no turning back.

“Fly directly to Ireland.”

“Yes, sir.” Ray nods and exits the cabin.

Lily curls her body, and her face looks pale. Every inch of her face is covered in endless sadness. It looks like she was born vulnerable. Ryan knows, this woman is way stronger than he could imagine. She has this incredible strength in her body.

In fact, Ryan did ask himself. Why do all this, for a woman who only saved him once?

They didn’t have a long history together but every time when she is in trouble, he just can’t sit and watch.

Maybe it’s because of her strength. The way she cries breaks his heart. It reminds him of the helpless, sad, and inferior self in the past.

They are the same kind of person. They might seem vulnerable but they are strong inside.

“Will you be in trouble if I leave like this?” Lily asks.

Ryan didn’t expect her question. He dazes, “Shouldn’t you be worried about yourself now?”

He pauses and continues, “Rex is not an easy person to mess with but since I decided to help you, I’m prepared for what’s coming next. He will never know I’m in this. So don’t worry.”

Furthermore, the scene of the accident is too damaged to find any clues. Car crashes, drivers, and passengers die. It’s just that simple.

“I’m pregnant,” Lily says. Without further explanation, both of them know what they need to do.

“When we arrived in the UK, I will give you a new identity. You don’t need to worry about anything, I will be your support.” Ryan rarely displays his straight and serious attitude towards anyone. He understands Lily’s concern, and he understands her feelings of panic and helplessness, “Don’t worry. I will make sure that you are able to deliver your baby in a safe place.”

“Really?” Lily looks into Ryan’s eyes, with a look of uncertainty.

“Yes, unless you don’t want the baby,” Ryan turns and looks at her stomach.

Lily is triggered. She covers her stomach with her hands, “That’s not possible. The reason I choose to leave is for my baby.”

Ryan smiles and hands over a handkerchief to Lily when he sees her nervous reaction. “I will fulfil my promises to you. I’m a man of my words. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here now.”

“But you have to make me a promise too.” Ryan requests.

Lily dazes. All this while she’s been interacting with Ryan, this is the first time he needs something from her.

She feels curious, “What do you need?”

There are tears left on her eyelashes and she didn’t take his handkerchief. Ryan grabs her wrist and stuff the handkerchief into her hand, “From today onwards, you must forget everything here. Everything. Rex and you no longer are involved in any form.”

Lily feels like she got punched in her chest. It hurts. She turns away and opens the window shade. It is already midnight. There aren’t any lights from the skies. She could only see dimming lights from the land through the clouds.

So, she is ‘dead’. She wonders how Rex might feel. He must be in pain.

Lily stop thinking about it. She knows if she goes there, her tears will never stop.

Ryan sees her eyes turning red. He can never see the look of her crying in front of him. He shuts the window shade and asks, “Can you do it?”

Lily takes a deep breath. There’s still a long way to go, and there will be many obstacles and challenges ahead. She must make herself capable.

She must pull herself together instead of drowning in her sorrow.

“Yes, I can do it.”
