Bright gently stroked her back and comforted Rose who was helpless and sad, "It's fine."
After getting Bright's answer, Rose looked up and smiled, "I'll believe it as long as you say it."
Bright then squatted down so that their eyes were level, "In that case, go rest at the couch. Good girl."
He gently stroked her cheek, not accepting her refusal.
Last night, although it was not the first time they slept with each other, Bright felt as excited as he was
at their first time. So, he had made her more tired.
Rose was naturally tired last night. Bright had intended to let her get a good rest today. Unexpectedly,
Grandpa fainted on the first day of their wedding.
Bright felt distressed and wanted Rose to rest now.
"I'm not tired at all. I just want to stay with Grandpa and watch him." Rose choked as she spoke, "I'm
afraid the time I can spend with him and watch him will be less and less."
Seeing her hold back her tears, Bright held her hand tightly, then leaned over and kissed her eyes.
He didn't want to see her cry, "Don't be afraid. I will be always with you."
"I know. So I can be strong now." Bright gave Rose a great sense of security, "Sometimes I wonder
what I can do without you."
"So who had left me without a word and even wanted to get a divorce back then?" Bright raked up her
faults and rubbed her nose dotingly.
"The situation was different. I knew I had lied to you and was ashamed to face you. I was afraid you
would be angry and blame me for it. So I had to leave before you said anything." Rose did not dare to
face Bright at that time, "In fact, I was afraid that if I saw you again, I couldn't drag myself away from
you."
"Since you can't drag yourself away from you, then stay by my side and don't go anywhere." Bright was
very dominant.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere. Because the place with you is my home." Rose's face wore a wide grin
for the first time today.
Bright then asked Rose to lie down on the couch to rest, fetching a thin blanket to cover her.
He sat next to her and held her hand while she looked at him until she was too sleepy and closed her
eyes.
Bright watched her and let go of her hand until she was asleep. Then, he got up to see Wilfred.
Wilfred slept peacefully. Bright sat there. A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
It is really hard to watch your relatives leave and you can do nothing with it.
"Water... water..."
Bright saw Wilfred's mouth open. His voice was low.
Bright came closer and heard clearly. He poured water, picked up Wilfred and fed him some water.
Wilfred felt much better after drinking water, panting slightly.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Bright asked Wilfred.
Wilfred turned to look at Bright, "I've given you and Rose trouble again."
"Grandpa, don't say that. You are our family. It is okay. What matters most now is to get you well.
Nothing else matters." Bright only wanted Wilfred to recuperate at ease.
"Bright, Rose is not here. I want to speak my mind to you." Wilfred said with a smile.
"Grandpa, go ahead." Bright was all ears.
"Bright, don't spend money and energy to cure me. I am old and do not want that any more. I just want
to leave peacefully and see your Grandma happily. She has been lying there alone for years, and has
been waiting for me for years." Wilfred said and seemed to be delivering his last words.
"Please take care of Rose from now on. If she really makes any mistakes, I hope you can guide her
well. But don't give up on her.
She is also a pitiful child. Her mother is not a good mother. As for her father... " Wilfred paused, "there
is a secret I am going to tell you. In fact, Chandler may not be Rose's real father.
Her real father may be Zach. I overheard Joy threaten Zach with the baby in her belly. If Zach didn't
break up, Joy said she would die with the baby.
But with Joy's personality, she would not keep the baby as Zach was dead. So, I am not sure whether
Rose is Zach's child. If she is, there is someone related to Zach in the world. It can comfort the spirit of
him."
Joy was crazy and even threatened Zach with the child back then. So, Wilfred and his wife were all
guilty and sad.
Bright was very shocked when he heard this secret.
"Bright, I'm telling you this, because I know you won't dislike her even if she may not be the lady of the
Linder family. I have an infallible eye for men. You are righteous and strong as a man. I'm relieved to
tell you. You don't have to tell Rose about this secret. She's happy now. There's no need to upset her
with these things."
Bright nodded and followed Wilfred's instructions, "I understand."
Wilfred nodded in satisfaction, "Then when I regain my strength, we will leave the hospital. Just send
me back home. I want to go home. I don't have much time left. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid I'll
never be able to go back…."
"Grandpa…" Bright wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wilfred who raised his hand.
"Bright, stop saying anything or persuading me. I've thought it all through. I've lived long enough at my
age. I just want to sleep with your Grandma.
Maybe it's sad for you when I die. But for me, I am happy to be with the people I love forever.
Just like you and Rose, you guys are always together. I also want to be with your Grandma all the time.
So stop persuading me. Just listen to me. This is the last thing I ask you for help in my life. This is my
wish. So, just help me."
Wilfred didn't look sad at all. Instead, she was relaxed.
Bright finally did not say more. Facing Wilfred's last request, he could only do as he was told.
"OK, as you wish."
Wilfred smiled happily.
Rose, who was separated from them only by a wall, bit her lip, suppressing the mixed feelings inside.
She turned around, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
Just now when she woke up, she heard Wilfred and Bright's conversation. Those words shocked her.
No wonder her mother had never liked her much since she was a child. It was just because she was
Zach's daughter.
And her real father was forced to die by her mother....
