Bright held Rose tighter, but his hand avoided from her wound.
"What are you doing in the hospital?" Bright found that she was in the hospital, and was worried that
whether something had happened to her, so he raced to the hospital.
"Nothing." Rose didn't want to spill the beans about Nora.
"Do you think you can fool me?" Bright raised his eyebrows, looking confident, "Why is Nora in the
hospital?"
"She..." Rose pressed her lips. "It's her privacy. Don't pry into it."
"Right. I'm not interested in her privacy at all." Bright didn't ask anymore. "Let's go back."
"No, I have to be here with Nora." Rose was a little worried about Nora's situation.
Even though Alan stopped Nora from having surgery, it didn't mean he accepted it. She wanted to
know what he thought of Nora and what decision he had made.
If it was a bad decision, she would be here to help Nora and not let her face Alan alone.
Bright just stared at her.
"Bright, this is the hardest time for Nora, just like all those years I lived alone with Doris. Nora needs
me right now. Do you understand?" Rose was afraid that he would think he was not important to her.
She did not want him to misunderstand.
"I know." Bright reached out and caressed her hair. "I know you won't feel ease until Nora is right, so I'll
go with you."
"Then don't take Nora's matter to heart when you know about it." Rose warned.
"Yes." Bright said a little dismissively. "I don't take anyone else's business to heart except yours."
Rose and Bright then went back to Nora's room. She knocked twice on the door and entered, and
Bright followed behind her.
Alan and Nora looked over at them.
"You're awake, are you all right?" Rose stepped forward and stood on the other side of the bed,
opposite Alan.
"I'm fine." Nora replied.
She had just woken up. When she opened her eyes and saw Alan instead of Rose, she felt the
atmosphere soured.
Fortunately, Rose's timely appearance eased the atmosphere and made Nora feel much more relaxed.
Alan looked at Bright and saw the medicine bag he was carrying. "Is Mr. Bright sick?" he asked.
"Not me, it was Rose. She hit her shoulder. The doctor got some medicine prescribed." Bright looked at
Rose. "She can't take care of herself."
When Alan heard this, he blushed and remembered that he had just pushed Rose, who was in front of
him, to the side in order to stop the operation. It seemed that he had pushed her out of the way so she
got injured.
"No." Rose saw Alan's worried look and was afraid that he would tell the truth, so she changed the
subject. "Can we just drop it? Nora just woke up. Ask her what she wants to eat."
"I don't have an appetite." Nora felt sick.
"You have to eat anyway, or you'll feel weak." Rose looked at Alan and tried to send him an errand.
"Could you buy some nutritious porridge for Nora?"
"No." Nora didn't know Rose's intention, so she didn't cooperate with Rose.
"You have to eat something." Rose felt that it was really difficult to protect Alan in front of Bright without
any visible sign.
Alan looked at Rose who was trying to cover up something as if to defend him.
However, Alan calmed down and blamed himself in his heart for his recklessness, which caused her
harm. However, Rose didn't tell Bright the truth, which made him feel even more guilty.
Without any mental struggle, Alan walked up to Bright and told the truth himself, "Mr. Bright, Rose was
hurt because I pushed her..."
"What did you say?" When Bright heard what Alan said, he reached forward and grabbed Alan by the
collar and said fiercely, "You pushed my wife?"
"Yes." Alan nodded again and admitted his mistake. "Mr. Bright, I'm..."
Before Alan could say the word "sorry", he was punched in the left side of his face by Bright, with
enough force to knock him to the ground.
"Bright..." Rose tried to stop Bright from hurting Alan, but it was too late.
Alan fell to the ground, feeling the pain on his face, as if that side of his face was no longer his own.
The pain at the jawbone was so bad that he felt like his bones were broken. He couldn't even open his
mouth to speak, and blood was flowing down from the corners of his mouth. He could taste a fishy
sweet taste in his mouth taking over his taste buds.
"I love my wife so much, but you dare to treat her like that? Alan, are you risking your neck?" Bright
strode forward, and looked furiously at Alan.
Rose and Nora both felt his dangerous aura and held on to him tightly.
Rose was afraid that Bright would strike Alan again, so she ran to him and grabbed his arm, but she
could feel his arm was hot and his muscles hot, which showed how angry he was now.
Alan, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Bright's angry eyes with a look of self-reproach. "Mr.
Bright, Rose, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"Bright, I know you worry about me, but Alan didn't mean to do that." Rose interceded for Alan.
"No matter what his reason is, he should not push a woman. Did he act like a gentleman?" Bright
accused Alan of not having the gentlemanly manner of a man should have.
"You worry about me, and Alan worries about Nora." Rose grabbed Bright's arm more tightly, "Feel for
him. I didn't hurt much by the way. Bright, just let it go, okay?"
"He worries about Nora?" Bright looked at Nora in the hospital bed who didn't say a word and wanted
to know what was going on.
Nora had already passed out before Alan came to the room, so she did not know what happened
afterwards, and she was confused when she woke up and saw Alan sitting by her hospital bed.
So when Bright wanted to know what happened, Nora couldn't tell him anything.
Rose didn't tell him in order to protect Nora's privacy.
Alan, on the other hand, would not say anything to justify himself. He admitted that he really did the
wrong thing in the heat of the moment, but he would not shirk his responsibility. Therefore, if Bright
wanted to beat him, he would not complain nor would he resist.
