Let's Get Married

Chapter 566: Hawk Freaks out

However, he was shot in the shoulder at that time, and the moment the bomb detonated, he was entangled with the police. That was too fast, and he was escorted for interrogation before seeing what happened. The only thing he is uncertain about is the scene he missed.

Generally speaking, no one will be able to survive such a bomb, but he still thinks that things would not end like this. She might not be dead.

However, what Rex says brings him to reality. She's dead now, and she's gone.

"She's not gone!" Hawk denies without hesitation. He doesn't restrain his aggressive vibe anymore. "If she really died, you wouldn't be so calm!"

"What should I do? Kill you?" Rex shakes his head, "This is the police station. I won't put myself in trouble for you bastard. You'll be punished by the law, and you'll be executed. That's exactly what I am hoping for."

His reply just brings Lily's image to Hawk's mind, as if a reminder of the truth that he can't deny. Suddenly, he freaks out. He jumps up from his chair, raises his hands high, and lands them fiercely on the table. He shouts as he knocks on the table, "You lied to me! She's not dead, and she's definitely alive!"

The police officer behind him promptly captures him and pushes his head to the table.

Pressed against the ice-cold table, his face, with defined features, is almost distorted. He looks awkward, and stares at Rex, "Tell me! You were just lying to me, weren't you?"

"I lied to you? For what?" Rex also stands up instantly and walks to the side of Hawk. His tall figure blocks the light above Hawk, causing a small shadow to cast on Hawk's face. The man looks down at him condescendingly and grits his teeth. "Aren't you the one who wants her dead the most!?"

Hawk raises his lips and half of his face trembles. He feels as if he has been tapped on an acupoint and loses control. "I think there are a zillion ways to kill her. I didn't need to kill her after you all arrived! There was only one connection to that bomb. It could be easily undone. I hid the detonator in the pocket near my waist. If I wanted her to die, the moment she walked towards you, I should've detonated it!"

He has never said anything about that since he was arrested. The police officers in the observation room quickly wrote down what he said excitedly.

Lily is seeing that from the very beginning. When she sees Hawk's face, she feels like she's suffering shortness of breath and oppression in the chest. She can't breathe but doesn't know why.

She doesn't understand why Rex should lie to Hawk that she died. The quarrel between them, as well as what they said really scare her. Although she doesn't know the reason, she has a deep fear and rejection of that man inside. Especially when Rex walks to his side, she would be very nervous and worry about Rex's safety.

She has never felt so emotional towards Rex before, but at this moment, she can't help but worry about him.

The people outside can see the inside through the glass clearly, but it's not the other way around.

Hawk is highly nervous. That should be his most senseless action since he was captured.

That's good for the police. They just control him but don't force him to leave or knock him unconscious.

Rex doesn't be moved by him but feels even more disgusted. "Don't make excuses for your inhumanity. No matter what you thought when you committed a crime, you're a murderer. You killed her, you killed her!"

To Hawk, his word is like the "final straw". He starts to panic, as he loudly retorts, "It's not me, it's this policeman. He's the one to blame! I never wanted to kill her, never..."

"She's so nice, but she met such a brutal scum like you. It's the most unfortunate thing in her life. You still don't repent, so you don't deserve anyone's pity. You just have to live in a dirty place, then those who treat you well will be punished." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Rex's response reminds Hawk of those few nights when he was chatting with Lily. Although it was only a few words, it was a feeling he has never had in his life. She was sincere, at least when it came to some issues. She asked him if he had ever thought of a different way of life. This was the first time in his life that someone had asked him this.

He has been forced to go down this path and been destined to no happy ending. Perhaps just because of this widely-known but unsaid truth, no one cares about what kind of life he wants to live.

But now, he have killed this person by himself.

Seeing that Hawk is about to lose his consciousness, the police officer drags him out of the room. And he's still howling to show he's recalcitrance even outside the room.

Rex stands still and closes his eyes tightly as if he wants to forget everything that just happened in front of him.

Lily is looking at the strong figure through the glass. And sadness comes out of nowhere. The miserable white light above her head falls on his head and shoulders. It's in dead silence. In that strong figure is too much pressure and worries that can't be easily discovered.

"Are you ok? Is there anything wrong with your body?" Karl's voice brings her to reality.

Lily looks somewhere else and shakes her head, "It's fine, and I’m just a little tired."

"We'll go back later. It won't take long." Karl breathes a sigh of relief. More than three times, he wants to ask if she has recalled something, but finally fails.

At this critical moment, he doesn't want to be too pushy. But looking at that little face that reveals nothing, he can't help but feel disappointed for Rex.

Forget it, it's counterproductive to be too eager for success. Sometimes you can't rush things.

Lily is pushed back into the car by Karl and the doctor. She's not fit to stay in that kind of environment for too long.

Rex says a few simple words to the captain and leaves as well.

On the way back to the hospital, Lily can't help but secretly glance at him with her remaining light several times. Rex is so upset, and he becomes even more anxious because of her gaze, "What are you looking at?"

Lily has already put together almost all of Hawk's words. She pretty much understands what happened at that time, and sighs, "Does that man regret 'killing' me?"

Rex doesn't expect her to ask this. He sits down steadily and looks at her with a serious gaze. "Do you know the biggest taboo for legal workers?"

Although Lily has forgotten him, she hasn't forgotten her beloved Law that she has learned. It's just that there are too many taboos that for a moment, she can't say which the biggest one is.

"We absolutely cannot sympathize with criminals."

The man's thin lips open gently. Although he says in a seemingly gentle way, his few words are incomparably loud because of his determination.

Without waiting for Lily to speak, he says, "To Hawk, your death deserves no repentance. What he really cares about is killing the feeling of being respected and tolerated."

Lily is confused. Rex sees through the doubts in her eyes and interrupts her deep thought, "He has lost his humanity for a long time. Don't expect to use a normal person's mind to guess a twisted and sick heart. You will never be able to understand it."

A twisted and sick heart means hatred, greed, delusion, obsession, and resentment. Hawk has long got twisted and sick, unable and unwilling to extricate himself.
