Let's Get Married novel Chapter 314

Along the way flying to the United Kingdom, Lily has been awake and fall back to sleep for so many times.

She has already in such a huge shock to begin with. Then the traveling, and her pregnancy. It exhausts her.

Ryan notices her mood swings. He orders the cabin doctors to give her some injection to calm her down. When she wakes up after a few days, she has already arrived at the Ireland Airport.

They are flying with a private jet, which is why it stops far away from the public airport apron.

After the airplane landed, Ryan wakes Lily up and tries to cover her with a thick coat. Lily shies away from him. Ryan furrows his brows and forcefully puts Lily into the coat, regardless she needs it or not. Then only she is allowed to walk out from the cabin exit.

Once the cabin door is open, cold air blows into the cabin. Lily raises her head and looks at the gloomy sky, she suddenly feels at ease. She has finally left that city.

“Let’s go.” A husky voice rises.

Ryan reminds Lily. She looks back down at the stairs in front of them and walks down from the airplane.

The shuttle drives them to one of the waiting lounges of the airport. There isn’t anybody else other than those who are with them in the private jet and some VIP lounge service crews.

Lily feels curious, “Are we not leaving?”

Ryan orders a cup of coffee and replies Lily, “We need to catch a transit.”

“Where are we going?”

“London.”

As the capital of the United Kingdom, London is a very convenient and historic city. Being the world’s largest finance and trade centre, what Lily knows about the city is merely from the books.

“Are we staying in London p-permanently?”

Ryan raises his head and looks at Lily, “Before your delivery, you must stay in London. After that, you are free to choose wherever you want to go.”

Lily is surprised by Ryan’s gentle attitude to her questions. She pulls her coat and says softly. “Thank you.”

Ryan never responds to her gratitude as if he didn’t hear them.

Not long after, they are informed to go onboard.

Lily walks behind Ryan’s tall body when they are going on board. Her heart feels as gloomy as the grey sky above her.

It has only been thirty minutes between the landing and take-off. She has been sleeping along the way before, so now she is wide awake. Lily doesn’t know what she is thinking about either. Her mind is blank and her heart feels empty.

After a while, Ryan walks towards her and hands over a document. “Take a look.”

“What’s this?”

“Your new identity.”

Lily is surprised. She opens the document and finds out all the forms are printed in English. In the file, there’s a table attached printed in both Chinese and English for her reference. That’s an introduction of herself she never sees before.

“Don’t worry if people discover anything. This is a normal identity. Before you take over, all of her experiences are real.”

Lily doesn’t know how Ryan gets this identity for her but she could imagine, from now on, she will need to wave goodbye to 'Lily' and become somebody else.

She wants a new life, then she will need to leave everything in the past behind.

Suran.

Looking at this name she never sees before, her tears welled up in her eyes. Lily tries her best to hold them from rolling down her cheeks.

She raises her hands and strokes her stomach. The fear of the unknown future scares her but there’s no turning back anymore. For the child, and herself.

The proverb says, “The loved ones live across the mountain and the sea, and they become the greatest obstacles.” Whatever she is holding on to, might as well let it stay for just a little while.

……

Rex has totally given up on himself.

The company, the family, his health, nothing, and nothing is in his mind at all. All he ever thinks about is to find Lily.

Initially, he would spend his days staying at the accident scene. Later on, he prefers to go there at night. He’s afraid that Lily is scared of the dark, and he’s also afraid that he couldn’t make it through living in the memories every night.

There’s too much pain.

In every dark and quiet night, he even sees illusions of Lily standing in the house or front of him. There are some days he would have nightmares of her face covered in blood and tells him that she will never forgive him.

He knows they are not real. It is all in his head but everything is like a giant net holding him in and leave him breathless.

Rex barely likes to talk before the accident and now he becomes even quieter. He doesn’t talk to anyone. He doesn’t communicate. He lives like he is already dead.

He is like a living dead but at the same time, he is not. He can feel his heart ripping every second and the pain reminds him that everything hasn’t ended yet. He shall live in grief every day.

He has thought of ending his life but he is afraid that what if Lily does come back and couldn’t find him by then? Might as well continue living like this. He thought, there will be no pain or guiltiness after he dies but he doesn’t even deserve dying. He needs to live this self-punishing life. He has got to redeem himself.

He would drive himself to the beach every day, then greet Lily goodnight, regardless if she hears it, when he leaves at night.

He starts drinking. He likes the feeling of being knocked out by alcohol. It’s the only thing that could numb himself and spares him from all the heartaches.

Just like any other day, Rex is sent back to the villa by the designated driver. A place that used to be warm and lovely is now left with memories and endless loneliness.

He staggers into the villa and his designated driver couldn’t even bear to watch him like this. This elegant man is so generous, he is wearing expensive outfits and living in such a big house. It looks like he’s got everything in life but he seems to be in more pain than any other people in the world.

Fanny, Rex’s housekeeper, was sent to another place before this, so when Rex staggers into the house, no light is on and it is dark. The only dimming light he could see is from the sensor of the main door.

When Rex leans forward to change his shoes, a soft and warm body hugs him from behind. All he sees is a pair of fair and lean arms of a woman around his waist.

Rex is stunned. Memories of Lily and him play back in his mind. There were times when he came back from business dinner and Lily waited for him on the couch. Whenever he arrived home, she would run to him and give him a big hug and said, “Welcome home!”

Those pictures are so clear as if they only happened yesterday. Alcohol is gushing in his blood and this is what’s he’s been longing for. He immediately turns around and hugs the person so hard without seeing who it is. “Lily, my Lily, you are finally back! I miss you so much. It’s been so hard living without you. I’m not fine at all. Please don’t leave anymore…”

The woman in his arm dazes a little at first but the next second, she opens her arms and responds to Rex’s hug, “I’m not going anywhere. I will always be at your side.”
