Let's Get Married

Chapter 238: Last Request

This calmness makes Marina scared. She has ever mentioned her parents countless times. Now, she does not even dare to mention it easily, afraid that this man will feel disgusted. “I know I’m wrong. but I never thought of hurting anyone. But what about Lily? She almost killed me. Do you know how scared I was when she pushed me into the pool? But now you let me leave, maybe I’m superfluous in this world.”

“You’re not superfluous, your life is yours, not mine nor others. Marina, get well and pursue the life you want.”

“Do you think I don’t want to get well, I also want!” Marina raises her tone, but it’s a pity that the long- term treatment makes her powerless. Her tone is very hoarse, “Everything is not caused by me, it’s you! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be alone, but what did you say? Want me to go? Rex, you’ve changed, you’ve changed a lot... You are no longer the one I knew before.”

She talks with emotions and tears slide down her cheeks as if Rex has done something sorry for her.

“Marina, I didn’t do anything sorry to you. I just owe something to your parents. I hope you can understand this. As long as I’m here, I’ll protect you. As for the rest, I can’t give you.”

Marina’s eyes widen and she looks at him with disbelief, “You mean that you don’t feel guilty for me?”

Her tearful eyes resemble her mother, who was dying on the hospital’s bed after the car accident. She took his hand and entrusted her daughter to him.

Rex frowns and gently closes his eyes, still unable to face it, and utters a few words, “I don’t mean that.”

“Then say what you mean.” Marina seems to be stubborn in this issue as if she will never give up if she doesn’t get an answer, and blurts out those hurting words.

She doesn’t care that this is her beloved man. She just knows that if she hurts, others need to hurt more!

Rex has been tortured by such feelings for so many years and his heart has gradually numb. If Lily does not appear, he may spoil Marina for a lifetime. But now he knows where his pampering lead her to.

“I will give you the best arrangement and let you live the life you want, as long as you don’t continue to bother me and Lily.”

“Lily doesn’t even trust you, it’s your problem with her, not mine.” Marina clearly sees the hurting emotions in Rex’s eyes. What she is best at is reveal his weakness, “If she believes you, it won’t be like this.”

“None of this has anything to do with you.” The man’s hands on the side secretly tighten. He has tried his best to stay sensible to restrain his anger, “Get some rest, this thing doesn’t have any benefits for your health.”

After that, he turns and walks away as if one more glance is a waste. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Marina is irritated, “Rex, you can let me go, as long as you promise me one condition!”

The man pauses but does not look back, “What?”

Marina takes a deep breath and says every single word, “After my parent passed away, I didn’t have any relatives anymore, the only one left is my grandma. Although she has had a bad conditions for so many years, I also want to accompany her more. Since I’m recuperating in the country, I want to find a time to see her.”

After hearing the sentence, Rex turns back violently. The hospital has just informed him about Melly’s situation. Now that she makes such a request. Is it a coincidence or… she already knew it?

The inquiring eyes look all over her face, not leaving even the slightest expression. Marina’s heart beats fast, but she still forces herself to look at him, “This is my last request, I can’t even get it?”
