In the ward, Bright was soothing his brother Marley.
"Marley, are you all right? I didn't expect her to come here at such an early time." Bright was holding
Marley's hand and he felt remorse, "I'm sorry that I didn't make sure the nurse to take good care of you
and keep that woman away from you. Don't worry. I will have two guards watch the door from now on
so that she will never be able to come here again. Those who would disturb you would not be able to
get in here without my permission."
Marley saw the worry in his brother's eyes. With a mild expression on the face, he curled up his lips
slightly to show Bright that he was fine.
His moved his finger to write laboriously in the palm of Bright's hand. Bright felt the writing quietly with
his eyes fixed on the subtle movements.
"You said that you are fine." Bright got the meaning quickly.
Marley nodded slightly.
He knew in his heart that things couldn't get any worse now, and he didn't need to take it too serious.
For Hallie came to apologize to him, he really did not give a shit about it anymore.
Maybe it was because that he was in a coma for too long, so long that his strong feelings for her had
already died down.
"It is good that you are all right." Bright pursed his lips. "Marley, I have investigated why you jumped off
the building since you were in the coma. Until recently, I finally found out about the matter between you
and her. I did not mean to invade your privacy. I just want to know the truth."
"All the evidence I found pointed to Hallie, so I forced her to tell me the truth by threating her that I
would tell the whole thing to Dad otherwise. She said you jumped because she told you that she would
never marry you unless you jumped. Then you really jumped for what she said. Marley, is this true?
She was not lying?"
Now that Marley was awake, it was easy to know what really happened back then.
Marley looked into Bright's eyes and then moved his fingertips in his palm to scribble a vague "Yes".
"So she didn't lie to me." There was no confusion for Bright anymore. On second thought, he confirmed
with Marley, "Marley, you didn't fool me just now because you feel pity for her and try to protect her,
right?"
Marley shook his head as the answer.
"Marley, how could you be such a fool at that time?" Bright heaved a sigh. "She and Dad had already
been married. Couldn't you see that she said the words out of anger and she was trying to make you
give it up? Were you really so foolish that you tried to prove something by jumping?
The dice was cast. How could she divorce Dad and marry you again? In fact, you understood it
yourself. You just couldn't accept it at that time and you were mad, so... Marley, life is precious, and
there is nothing more important than life.
Well, it is enough talking about it. I'm relieved that you finally came around. I will find the best doctor to
make a recovery plan for you, and you will get better gradually. Then we will climb a mountain together
as before, and see who gets to the top first this time."
Marley nodded with a smile on his face.
Later, when Rose came back here, what she saw was the beautiful picture of the two brothers smiling
at each other.
She stepped over and said, "Marley, you look good today."
"He is getting better day by day." Bright said. "I have asked my secretary to send two bodyguards here.
I can't let the same things happen again."
As an outsider, Rose couldn't do anything about it and she just put her hand on Bright's shoulder and
gave it a gentle press.
She had been hurt by her family, so she understood Marley's feelings very well.
Marley moved his fingertip in the palm of Bright's hand again, though he only wrote three words, it took
quite a bit of time.
"Don't blame her." Bright read his brother's words. "Marley, you are so kind. Well, if even you don't
blame her, what reason do I have for not forgiving her?"
Although he disliked Hallie from the bottom of his heart and he couldn't get over what she had done to
Marley, what could he do about it?
"All right, I don't blame her. I blame you." Bright could only let it go. "The only thing you should do now
is take good care of yourself and get better. Don't worry about anything else."
Bright glanced at the time and knew he should go to work now.
"Marley, Rose and I are going to work, and we will come to see you after work." Bright tucked the quilt
for Marley.
Marley blinked and he felt a little tired now.
"Then have a good rest."
Then they left Marley's ward. And before the bodyguards arrived, they told the attending doctor and
nurse in charge, "I don't want any other people come to disturb my brother. I will send two bodyguards
over here. And no one is allowed to visit my brother without my permission. If the same thing happens
again, I will transfer my brother to another hospital."
"Mr.…Mr. Lee, but it was Ms. Hallie and we couldn't stop her." The doctor and nurse were nervous.
"The bodyguards would inform me in case of such matter from now on. What you need to do is cure my
brother. As long as he can recover, I would pay you well." Bright had long made up his mind that he
would make Marley recover and stand up again no matter what the price was.
"Sure, sure."
No one could come to Marley without permission with the guards standing at the door.
On the third day, all the test results of Marley came out.
The doctor asked Bright to the office. There was the serious expression on the doctor's face, and he
even felt the chills while cold sweats spread on his forehead.
"The test results of Mr. Lee is… not very well."
"What do you mean? Just put it straightforwardly." The doctor did not dare to look into Marley's sharp
gaze.
"Mr. Lee had been in a coma for such a long time, it is a miracle that he came around. Although he
woke up and regained his consciousness, his bodily functions don't work well, and his organs are
failing, as if the lamp is running out of the fuel…" The doctor's voice trailed off. "You and your family
should be mentally prepared."
Bright looked at him with sharp eyes and his gaze on the doctor was cold and biting, "What are you
talking about? What do you mean of mentally prepared? Isn't everything okay since my brother had
woken up? Why would it turn out to be like this? Why all of his organs are failing, as if the lamp is
running out of the fuel?"
"We... We have no idea about the reason, and we're still trying to figure it out." The doctor even did not
dare to take a breath. "In my opinion, perhaps it is not a miracle that Mr. Lee woke up, but it may be
what we call as 'borrowed time'…That explains why he suddenly woke up and has been in good spirits.
And then...then he may leave suddenly…"
"Shut up!" Bright was so angry, his face darkened and he couldn't endure the bad news, "I do not want
to hear the nonsense! You'll cure him! Do you hear me? No matter how much it costs and what the
price is, you must cure him! Otherwise, you know that you cannot bear the consequences!"
