Bright spoke his mind. Although he didn't believe the doctor's words, he was still afraid that Marley
would disappear suddenly as if the lamp ran out of fuel like the doctor said. Then he couldn't forgive
himself for not being with Marley in his last days.
"I told you that I would be on your side no matter what decision you make." Rose understood his
feelings very well, because she had been having a very difficult time when her grandpa passed away
due to illness. "You can spend some time with Marley here, and I'll take care of everything of the
family."
"I think I would have to ask Bill to end his vacation and come back to work. There are a lot of works for
him to do and I could only trust him." Holding hands, they walked out of the doctor's office.
The doctor waiting outside sighed with relief after seeing they came out and the expression on Bright's
face softened and was no longer as cold as ice. Mrs. Lee always managed to calm Mr. Lee down.
"Bill waited for so long and he finally had a holiday. He has just enjoyed it for a few days and you ask
him to come back to work now? You thought Bill hasn't done his work well enough before, and now you
finally realize how importance he is for you?" Rose talked with Bright while they walked toward Marley's
ward.
"Darling, do you still remember who your husband is? How could you be on the side with the outsider?"
Bright furrowed his brows.
"I'm just telling the truth." Rose patted his chest lightly with her hand, "So you should be kinder to Bill. If
Bill can't bear you anymore and quit, what are you going to do about it?"
"How dare he?" Bright was confident.
"Who says that he has to work for you for a lifetime? Perhaps he would establish his own company one
day?" Rose smiled. "Mr. Lee, you are so bossy."
"I'll let him go if he wants to establish his own company. But if he dares to go to another company, it
wouldn't be that easy. However, I believe that he wouldn't do that to me. I always pick the right man."
Bright was confident. "And you should know that no one would pay him better than I do."
"Perhaps you should find a wife for him, then, may be you can keep Bill working for you for his
lifetime?" Rose said jokingly.
"Do you think I would maltreat him on the matter of his marriage? But as for his wife, it has to be
someone he loves. What good would it be for me to pick someone for him?" Bright put one hand into
his trousers pocket and he looked very handsome.
"If you are not going to arrange it, then I am going to help him." Rose volunteered, "How can we go
back on our words of helping him on this matter?"
"Okay, you know a lot of girls." Bright nodded with satisfaction.
"As for knowing girls, I don't think I can catch up with you." Rose raised her eyebrows.
"Why are we talking about such kind of things now?" Bright could only pinch her cheek gently.
"Although there are so many girls, you are the only one I love."
"Oh, come on." Rose patted his hand off. "Let's go to see Marley now."
Then Bright had been staying in the hospital and keeping Marley in company all the time. After
receiving Bright's phone call, Bill came back at once, but because he was on holiday in an island
abroad, so when he arrived at the hospital, it was already the next afternoon.
"Mr. Lee, I have sorted out the documents you want and put them in your car." Bill and Bright were
talking outside. "I heard that Marley has woken up. Is him all right now?"
Upon hearing Bill's question, Bright was upset, "He is not very well."
"Marley finally woke up, isn't that supposed to be the best thing?" Bill asked with bewilderment.
"The doctor said it is a miracle that he woke up, but his body functions are failing, and he may use up
his last strength at any time and then…" Bright said with a heavy tone. "The doctor said he had tried his
best and there is nothing he can do now."
The expression on Bill's face changed from happiness to shock, "How... how could this happen? Could
be it a mistake?"
"I hoped so…Why the fate is fooling me around?" Bright smiled bitterly and he still couldn't accept it.
"So I can only rely on you to deal with the business of the company now."
"Mr. Lee, it is my responsibility to do the works. I would take care of them and you can just stay here
with Marley." Although Bill felt sorry for him from the bottom of his heart, he didn't show it for he knew
that Mr. Lee would never need sympathy from others.
"I have sent e-mails to experts at home and abroad, hoping there is hope for Marley." It was Bright's
greatest wish now.
"Mr. Lee, the world is big and there is always hope." Bill tried to encourage him.
Bright stretched out his hand and patted Bill's shoulder. They understood each other well without
another word.
After Bill left, Bright went back to Marley's ward.
The nurse was helping Marley to drink some water. Bright said to the nurse, "Leave it to me."
The nurse handed the cup to him and left.
After Marley had had enough water, Bright put the cup on the bedside table.
"Marley, when the weather is good, we can go outside and sit in the sun." Bright was massaging
Marley's arm.
Marley tried to move his finger to hold Bright's hand, but it was a little hard for him.
Bright felt him and took the initiative to hold his hand, "What's up?"
Marley tried to say something, but he could only say it in a faint voice. Bright listened very carefully,
"Are you saying that you are worrying about my work?"
Marley blinked. Then Bright said to him, "It is all right. The company won't get into any trouble due to
my leaving for a couple of days. And there is nothing particularly important in the company lately, so
you don't have to worry about it. I have been working so hard in HY Group over the years. I rarely had
any holidays except when I was married. I guess it is all right for me to take my annual leave, and I just
want to spend more time with you now. "
Marley just gave him a smile and didn't say anything.
Then, Rose took Doris to the hospital.
Doris was a little bit surprised when she saw that Marley was awake.
She stood in front of the bed, and asked briskly, "Uncle Marley, did you just wake up from your sleep?"
Marley blinked, and Bright interpreted it for his daughter.
"Did he wake up because the princess gave him a kiss?" There were always those cute and innocent
ideas in Doris mind.
"What do you mean?" Bright asked.
"I have read the story of the Sleeping Beauty. In the story, the beautiful princess was injured and felt
into a deep sleep. Then she was kissed by the handsome prince entering the castle, and then she
woke up. And they were married." Doris was impressed by the story. "Uncle Marley is also injured and
felt into a deep sleep, but Uncle Marley is a handsome prince, so it makes sense that he woke up
because he got a kiss from the beautiful princess."
"It's just a fairy tale. Actually, your uncle was taken care of by doctors and nurses, and he woke up
when he recovered from his injury." Bright explained it to his daughter.
"Uncle Marley, please get better soon, so that you can play with me." Doris held out her small hands to
hold the thumb of Marley.
Marley moved his thumb and gently stroked her small hand, and nodded to her with a smile. Tears
slowly welled up in his eyes.
"Uncle Marley, what's wrong? Don't cry." Doris frowned, wondering if she had said anything
wrong.
