Let's Get Married

Chapter 269: Why Don’t You Believe Me?

Karl pulls her shoulders and embraces her into his arms to block all her sight with his chest. With a lower tone, he says, “Stay still.”

“But…”

“Shut up!”

“…”

Lily widens her eyes and looks up at the man in front of her. Rex’s agile eyes are soaked with sorrowful tears, “Rex, I didn’t do it. Don’t do that, okay?”

The last two words are so fragile. it is more like imploration than persuasion.

She really, really, really hopes this man can believe her… Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You didn’t do it?” Rex finally responses and looks at her with his ferocious eyes. After throwing the security manager’s collar, he stands up and points at the scene on the computer screen, “Well, explain this. And I’ll choose to believe you.”

Lily opens her mouth but could not make a sound. How should she explain it?

Saying that Marina framed her?

Or everything was planned by Marina?

Lily does not know how to explain. She stands still at a loss. The only hint of hope in Rex’s heart is exhausted by her silence. Instead, he is getting alarmed.

Yes. He is afraid that everything is tied with her personally, that she will choose this way to take revenge on him and Marina.

“What, can’t you tell?” He laughs, and then roars, “Why didn’t you say anything?! Lily, you said I didn’t believe you? Oh, do you know that even if you make up a reasonable lie, I, Rex will fucking believe you!”

He grabs her shoulders tightly out of control. He shakes her body back and forth as if he is about to break it, “Say something!”

Lily looks at his scarlet eyes and slowly closes her eyes. From receiving the call till arriving the hospital, from putting on the protective clothing that has had “hidden crime” to Marina’s lie that the bottle of medicaments could be fatal, Lily tells precisely the whole story of tonight.

“You asked me what had happened?” Lily chokes with a sob. Every word uttered from her mouth requires countless strength, “You might want to ask Marina, about how did she practice deception, about why did she want to put me to death…”

Karl looks at the two people who are in sorrow. Rex’s sense is running out. It is not realistic to rely on Rex to find the trick in it now. Only Karl, a bystander is still sensible, “You mean, you received a call from Marina to come to the hospital and she planned all of this?”

“Yes, she…”

Before Lily finished, the phone on Karl’s pocket suddenly rings. Karl frowns at the strident ringtone. It is Melly’s attending doctor. Karl picks up quickly, “Is the operation over? How’s her condition?”

The questions attract the attention of all the people present. All they can see is Karl’s face getting uglier. He hangs up without saying a word.

Karl looks up at the furious Rex. He could not say a word as if his throat seems to be stuffed hard. Even as a doctor for many years, he has been accustomed to the separation of life and death, but

never has he been so hard to tell like the current situation.

Sally sees his expression and her heart sinks. She grabs the clothes on his waist, “How was it?”
