Rose disagreed, "You're weak now. You're the one who needs to go back and rest. I'll stay with Doris
today."
"It doesn't matter." Bright didn't want Doris to know what he had done and thus feel stressful or guilty.
"Besides, she's my daughter, and it's natural for a father to save his child. Children are more important
than ourselves. As long as she's safe and sound, it's better than anything."
All he wanted was for Doris to be happy and grow up healthy.
"I understand how you feel about Doris, but you must listen to me and go home to rest." Rose insisted,
"I don't want Doris getting better while you get sick, so please don't make me worry about you. I will
feel comfortable here being with Doris if you go home and get some rest."
"Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee is right. You had your blood taken too much today, and you will have to go to work
tomorrow. You can't stay up all night here, or you will fall ill as well." Bill tried to convince him.
"Daddy, go home and have a rest. Doris hopes you're all right." Doris also suggested, "If there is
anything wrong with you, I will feel guilty. It's fine to have mom staying with me."
Bright looked at the three people who were trying to persuade him and finally agreed.
"Well, you must have a good rest and get well quickly." Bright' caressed her hair, feeling sorry for her.
He had something to deal with tomorrow, and he had to punish the employee who didn't take good care
of Doris.
"Dad, I'm all right." Doris smiled happily.
She acted as usual. However, she knew that the anesthetic had passed and the wound on her
forehead was beginning to hurt, but she didn't want Bright to worry.
Bright looked down, kissed Doris on the forehead and backed away. "I'll leaving now. Listen to mom."
"Bye, daddy. Bye uncle Bill. Be careful." And then she waved and smiled at them and sent them away.
After Bright left, Doris stopped smiling and put her hand up to touch the gauze on the wound. Her little
face wrinkled slightly.
"Don't touch it." Rose raised her hand and took her hand down. "Does it hurt?"
"Not really, but a little..." Doris made a gesture with her little hand.
Rose sat down in a chair and looked at her daughter. "You must be more careful in the future, or both
dad and mom will feel distressed. I can't bear to see you to suffer the pain..."
"Mom, don't tell dad I'm in pain." Doris held Rose's hand and felt sad. "Daddy gave me so much blood.
Is he fine?"
"Dad is in good health. Of course he'll be all right. The doctor said he would be all right as long as he
takes more nutrient food, so don't worry. Dad won't worry if you get well soon." Rose held Doris's hand
back gently. "Go to sleep. Mom will be with you."
Doris nodded, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Rose did not leave Doris's bedside. She held Doris's hand as she watched the drip run out and called
the nurse for a needle.
Late at night, when she could not stand it any longer, she bent over the bed and went to sleep.
It was not until the dawn that Bright came to the hospital. He entered the ward gently and saw Rose
holding Doris's hand all the time and never let go. The mother and daughter looked very beautiful even
when they were sleeping.
Bright put away the breakfast he had brought and then he bent down to hold Rose. But as soon as he
touched her, she opened her eyes.
"Why are you here so early?" Rose rubbed her eyes and looked at Bright.
"I always get up at this time, remember?" Bright looked at the time. It was half past six.
Rose nodded. She was still sleepy. She used to get up after seven o' clock.
"I'll carry you over to the couch and get some more sleep." Bright was about to hold her up.
Rose raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Stop it. I'll wash my face."
Rose asked Bright to let go of her. He had to let go and watched her go to the bathroom.
Rose ran the hot water, took a clean towel and washed her face. A pure face without makeup was
shown in the mirror.
As she had a fair skin, she looked stunning and lustrous, so even if Rose didn't wear any makeup, she
looked very beautiful.
Bright walked in and looked at the delicate face, which was as beautiful as a white lotus flower,
especially the eyebrows and eyes, which were so attractive.
Rose also saw Bright in the mirror. He came forward and put his hands on the wash-basin, trapping her
between him and the wash-basin. Bright's strong masculine aura filled the air. Looking at his handsome
face and deep eyes, her heart missed a beat.
"Thanks for the effort." Bright met her eyes in the mirror.
"All for the child. And thank you, too." Rose lifted her lips.
Bright pressed over and kissed her on the cheek.
Rose blushed. "It's early in the morning," she said, "restrain yourself."
"I did." Bright's arms wrapped around her. With a trace of regret and guilt in his tone, he said, "I want to
take back the divorce agreement. Let's live a good life."
"Is it all up to you for whether to let go of me? I'll have to think twice about whether to give it back to
you." Rose pretended to be proud. In fact, she just didn't want him to decide everything, especially
something that would hurt her, "Mr. Lee, it depends on your performance."
"I must let you satisfy." Bright turned her around. He pressed his lips against hers.
With one hand around her soft waist and the other on the back of her head, he gradually kissed her
deeply, passionately and powerfully, so that she could not resist, until she forgot herself and was
dominated by him...
It was not until she felt the skin on her shoulders exposed to the cold air that she suddenly woke up
and reached for the clothes on her shoulders.
She flushed and stared at him. "This is Doris's room. How could you do that?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to see my performance?" Bright answered with a raised eyebrow.
Rose gritted her teeth and snapped, "I didn't mean that!"
He knew she didn't mean it, but he did it on purpose.
"But I think that should be part of it. I always have to prove that it doesn't bother me after I did the blood
drawing." Bright argued, "It's important to make you happy."
Rose did not know how to answer him for a while, and then said, "Who fell over after a slight push
yesterday?"
"After the rest of the night, I have been fully revived, so I'll let you know I am not weak." Bright could
always get to the point he wanted.
