Come on Daddy!

Chapter 460 Your Brother's Beloved Isn't Me

Hallie talked with Rose and Doris in the living room. Zoe went back to her room to rest.

"Doris, what would you like to eat for dinner later?" Hallie was peeling a washed apple.

"Hallie, don't bother. Bright intends to go to the hospital later to see Marley..." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Hallie accidentally peeled her hand before Rose finished speaking. Blood seeped out of the snow-white fingers, shocking.

"Hallie, how are you doing?" Rose picked up the paper towel on the table to cover Hallie's wound, "Press the wound first. I'll go get the first aid kit."

"Let them go get it." Hallie asked a servant to go.

"Grandma, are you all right?" Doris also came to care for Hallie.

"It's just a small injury, Grandma is fine." Hallie reached out and stroked Doris's face. Seeing the concern in her eyes, Hallie smiled lightly.

The servant took the first aid kit. Rose immediately opened it and took out the antiseptic alcohol and cotton swabs.

She helped Hallie disinfect the wound on her finger and put on a band-aid for her.

"Grandma, does it still hurt?" Doris saw the thin red wound, "If it hurts, I'll blow it for you."

"Grandma's not that weak. Thanks, honey." Hallie moved her finger to show she was okay.

Rose picked up another apple and peeled it, "Hallie, so we won't have dinner here."

"Okay then." Hallie nodded.

Bright finished his game of chess with Francis, and Stefan continued to play chess with his father instead. So, Bright came to Rose.

"It's about time. Let's go."

Hallie dropped the family off in front of the villa and watched them drive away. She stood there for a long time and did not enter the house.

Bright drove to the hospital and arrived at Marley's ward, only to see someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

Noticing Bright's arrival, she stood up slowly from Marley's ward.

"Serena."

"Mr. Bright."

Bright was very surprised to see Serena. He thought she had gone abroad and hadn't seen her for so many years.

"What are you doing here?" Bright walked over and put the flowers down, "Are you back home?"

"I..." Serena bit her lip and seemed a little hard to say it.

After a moment of hesitation, she picked up her bag and walked around the end of the bed, saying, "Sorry, I should go."

Bright, however, strode forward and blocked her way, "What are you afraid of?"

"I ... I'm not." Serena gripped the strap of her bag and said calmly.

"Since you are not afraid, shouldn't we catch up after so long?" Bright had no intention of letting Serena leave. His eyes were stern.

"I have something to do today. Next time, I'll treat you to dinner." Serena resisted.

"No time like the present. Just now." Bright asked Rose to come to him. "Serena, this is Rose, my wife, and Doris, my daughter. Rose, this is Serena, Lina's sister. She was a childhood friend of Marley. They used to be very close."

"Serena, nice to meet you." Rose extended her hand to Serena.

Serena shook Rose's hand, "Mrs. Lee, nice to meet you too."

"Just call me Rose." Rose corrected, "Please don't mind. Bright is so domineering. In fact, it's just because that he hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to get together with you. Serena, why don't you have a casual dinner with us?"

Seeing Rose was so sincere, Serena could not refuse and had to nod.

"How long have you been back? Did you visit him as soon as you came back?" Bright asked Serena, "Where have you been all these years?"

"I... I got married." In Serena's eyes, they could not see the happiness after marriage.

"Really? Why don't I know?" Bright was serious. He did not know such an important thing that Serena had gotten married at all, "Who did you marry?"

"I'm just the illegitimate daughter of the Kim family." So, no one would care about who she married and how she married.

"If Marley had not had this accident, maybe you guys would have been together." Bright felt sorry. Some good things finally did not work out the way they should.

Serena shook her head, "Marley actually had someone he liked, but that person was not me."

"But before Marley's accident, I heard him mention you. He even asked me to marry you." What Marley once said to him flashed into Bright's mind, "He said you would be a good wife."

When Serena heard these words, she was deeply touched with soreness, pain and joy, and other mixed feelings. Her eyes were filled with tears.

Tears wetted the long eyelashes. She looked down, "These are all in the past. Let's forget it."

It would only make her sad while mentioning it again.

"So how are you doing now?" Bright asked.

"I'm fine." Serena held back her tears and put on a light smile, "I heard about your marriage. You are lucky to have such a good wife as Mrs. Lee. Cherish her and love her."

"I will naturally do that." Bright took Rose's shoulder.

"Your husband must be more loving than Bright. Serena, you must be also happy." Rose wished her well.

Serena smiled lightly and didn't answer. Bright asked again, "Who is your husband?"

"You don't know him even if I tell you. I'll introduce him in person later when there is a chance." Serena changed the subject again, "Go see your brother. He should miss you guys too."

Bright and Rose then took Doris to Marley's bedside. They held Doris' hands and said to Marley, "Marley, how are you? This is Doris, your niece. Doris, greet to Uncle Marley."

"Uncle Marley, nice to meet you." Doris said in a childish voice.

They stayed with Marley for a while and then left the hospital with Serena, going to a restaurant for dinner.

While waiting for the food to be served, Bright said as he spread the napkin cloth, "Serena, did you meet Marley before his accident?"

"No. But we did call." Serena picked up her glass and recalled, "He said he was going to talk to his teacher."

"Teacher?" Bright felt this was an important message, "Did he say which teacher it was?"

"No." Serena shook her head, "What do you think he was going to talk to his teacher about? Love? It shouldn't be possible."

"Then do you know who the woman he likes is?" Bright's long fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"I don't know either." Serena gripped the glass, feeling that she couldn't help in any way, "He just said she didn't want too many people to know about them yet. He intended to say it when it was the right time."
