The cold air in the narrow elevator made Masie feel stressed and suffocated.
She bowed her head with guilty and felt upset.
She didn't expect such a thing would happen to Doris. It was like a knife stabbing into Mr. Lee's heart.
When Bright got to the underground parking lot, Bill had already got the car ready. Masie hurried up to
open the door. Bright, holding Doris, bent down and got into the car.
Masie got into the passenger seat and Bill quickly pulled out of the underground parking lot and sped
all the way to the nearest People's Hospital.
At the hospital, as soon as the car stopped, Masie quickly got out and opened the door for Bright. And
then he got out with Doris in his arms and hurried to the emergency department.
"Doctor, help!" Bright's words were simple but powerful.
When he appeared, the strong aura made others impossible to ignore him.
A nurse quickly wheeled the mobile bed over. Bright put Doris down on the bed and said, "Save my
daughter. I just want my daughter to be fine."
"Don't worry, Sir. We'll do our best. Please go and get through the formalities." The nurse had observed
the wound on Doris's forehead.
"Mr. Lee, I'll go check in." Masie volunteered, because she was also responsible. "What's the little
lady's basic information?"
"Doris Linder, 5 years old..." said Bright.
Masie wrote it down and went to check in for Doris, while Bill stayed with Bright.
He went to the nurse's station and served Bright a cup of warm water, "Don't worry, Mr. Lee," he said,
"She'll be all right."
Bright sat down in the chair. Instead of taking the water Bill offered him, he put his hands on his
forehead and felt agitated.
Never had he been so frightened. It seemed as if an endless abyss was going to swallow up all his
coolness, restraint, and reason.
Bright didn't want to talk, so he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. He couldn't get things
messy now.
Bill just stood there and said nothing.
He had been with Bright for many years and had a good understanding of his habits.
He was upset now, so what he wanted was to be quiet, so Bill did not disturb him.
After Masie finished the formalities, she came over and saw Bright with his hands on his forehead and
his handsome face was blocked, with his expression being invisible.
As Masie was about to speak, Bill gestured her to keep silent.
Masie immediately stopped and stood quietly beside Bill.
As the minutes passed, Bright remained in that position, calm but anxious.
It was like he was going to be torn apart...
He seemed to see his elder brother lying in a hospital bed covered in blood...
He hated this feeling very much. It made him feel so weak and he could do nothing but to wait...
He could only passively accept the results, even the bad ones...
His elder brother had been in a coma for years, and he was afraid Doris would be like this.
Suddenly, the emergency room was pushed open by the nurse. Bright immediately stood up and
asked, "How is my daughter?"
"You're Doris Linder's dad?" The nurse looked at Bright, who nodded. "The blood bank is in want of
type AB today. Do you have some friends or relatives who have the same blood type? The girl is in
need of it."
"My blood type is AB. You can take mine." Bright's blood type happened to be the same as Doris's. The
Lee family was of AB blood type.
His white shirt, stained with the blood of Doris, was darker now, but it was still frightening.
"Come with me." The nurse took Bright to the blood collection room. "But the patient still needs 600CC
of blood. You can't do it alone. Ask for one more to transfer the blood."
Bill was worried about Bright so he followed him, so that he could be with him at any time.
Bright sat on a high stool, his sleeves pulled up above his elbows, exposing his strong forearms.
The nurse fastened a rubber tube on him, disinfected his arm and pushed a long thin needle into his
blue blood vessel. When the nurse released the rubber tube, dark red blood flowed through the
transparent tube...
"Nurse, take 600CC from me. I just need my daughter to be fine." Bright said to the nurse.
"400CC at most." The nurse said.
"I'm in good health. I can take 600CC." Bright suggested.
The nurse looked at him for a moment. "It's not good for you."
"Just take it, and I'll sign that it has nothing to do with you." Bright insisted, "600CC won't kill me
anyway. My daughter's life is more important than mine."
"Mr. Lee, I have talked to our human resources department about the situation. I am collecting
volunteers and I will be here soon. I understand you want to save your daughter, but you don't need to
put yourself at risk. Your life and Doris's life are important!"
"Shut up. I can save my own daughter." Bright cut him off.
"Mr. Lee, don't be so... I don't know how to explain to President Francis." Bill felt weak on his feet.
"I don't have to tell anyone before I save my daughter." Bright said to the nurse, "I will sign the liability
waiver."
"Mr. Lee..." Bill was about to cry.
Under Bright's insistence, the nurse could only take 600 CC. She suggested Bright to take a rest on the
bed, but Bright didn't want to. He wanted to stay with Doris, but he was unable to walk now and felt
dizzy.
Bill helped Bright to sit on a chair beside him. His face turned a little pale, especially his thin lips.
"Mr. Lee, why do you have to do this?" Bill looked at Bright and felt upset.
"She's my daughter. If I don't save her, who can be the one?" Bright closed his eyes to have a rest.
"I have asked someone to buy some nutrient porridge for you." Bill paused and then added, "It will do
good for your health."
Bright got up slowly after taking a brief rest. He still felt dizzy, but he forced himself to walk.
"Mr. Lee, I've got Secretary Masie over there. Please take a break." Bill's brow furrowed, looking
worried.
"What's that look on your face? I am not dying." Bright stepped forward. "Let's go."
Bill wanted to help Bright, but he dared not, for fear that Bright would scold him. But Bright was tired
and sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Mr. Lee, I will help you even if you fire me." Bill braved to help support Bright.
Bright wanted to push him away, but he stopped because of what Bill had said. His thin lips lifted
slightly and leaned on Bill.
When they got to the emergency room and waited a while, Doris was finally wheeled out.
Bright was so excited that he almost fainted when he stood up too suddenly.
